Just a little poster I made out of movie studies. THe scenes I studied were from the movie "Submarines" and it's one of my favorite movies for sure! I wanted to draw Oliver and Jordana for a while. Not only because I like their attitude but also they lowkey remind me of my favorite band! And yeah, while studying away, I got a bit creative with type, threw it in there and call it a day~ Nothing too fancy, but I really like it. Have you seen Submarines? If so, how did you like it? And if not, go watch the movie. It's free on Youtube.

I don't really know what to say about this piece other than "This images story is heavily carried by it's colors. It started as a BG art piece and I couldn't stop adding more and more details. In the End I decided "Well, lets add a character for skale" and so I created her. She doesn't have a name yet. Much like the piece. But it was very fun drawing her.

Little sleepyhead!

This image is dedicated to the Beyblade Fandom here on Tumblr! As promised I drew Kai with a cat (even if it's been a decade since I promised it but yeah...well...anyway)

Hope you guys enjoy it :)

Also i ncase you wonder about the lore of this image. I can totally see Yuriy sneaking into Kais Room, making a photo of him while Kai sleeps. And than walk away with his little gremlin laugh going like "hehehehehehehehe" . ...

As promised, I began to work on a Kai image.

It's still a WIP tho, but the idea of him snuggling with a cat in his sleep was just too adoreable to not draw. (also the cat reminds me of my own, Rino is also a very snuggly cat!)

Some doodles from days where I felt a little off.

I know it's just a lot of whining from my part but currently deal with a lot of self doubt, especially with my art. "are the things I'm doing really as good as everyone says?" "I kind of don't like the work I do, but I see improvement...so it can't be that bad, right?"

Maybe I'm just struggling a bit with burnout again. My confidence will come back for sure.. Maybe I should take a little break and start playing some games from my Steam backlog just to unwind a bit.

By the way, for all the Beyblade fans: I still want to draw Kai related images. I have a backlog of cat/Human references and they keep staring at me. Yet my head is stuck in that thought of "But you need to work on your portfolio Nabs" kind of thought , which kinda sucks...But these drawings will come for sure! I also planned a KH drawing with out main trio... And I also figure out ways to draw Kim Kitsuragi because he is simply best boy (and I recently finished playing Disco Elysium ...so...that's about that). And I want to draw a Käärijä vs Baby Lasagna Image too...and there is this Gorillaz Fanart I have in mind for a while...and Omori fanart... And I want to draw more Evangelion Fanart...jesus christ, my head has a hard time coming up with original ideas lately...

yeah , anyway. I'm in a bit of a weird mood today~ Hope y'all are doing great tho!

Tried my Hands on some Pixel art assets for the first time. :)

All I can say to this image is that Art is a blessing and a curse.

It's a counterimage to that one illustration that was inspired by the song "Still Life" by Sitcom.

It's pure coincidence that the character lowkey looks like Bo Burnham. But his song popped into my mind while drawing it, so it became the title of this image as well.

This image is heavily inspired by an artwork by the amazing artist Kyoichi (京一) on Pixiv. It was part study, part original art and I really wanted to try out the idea as well.

A friend said that this image has a very "Frutiger Aero" vibe to it ...So I guess that might be the title of this image!~

Never mentioned that before on here but I do not only draw Fanart, I sometimes draw BGs too~ Or concepts. Or both.

These 4 pieces were Layouts that I made this week for my Portfolio. I decided to give the BG Artist role another shot but also realized that my previous works were terrible outdated. So it was time to draw some new ones.

(not sure if I add 2-3 more ... I have way to much fun with drawing these lol)

I'll do it over, no matter how many times it takes. I'll relive it over and over again. I will find the way out. The one path... that'll save you from this destiny of despair. Madoka... My one and my only friend. If it's for you, I'll don't mind being trapped in this endless maze... forever!

I'm burning with haste and I'm realizing now it's a terrible waste. I feel numb.

Image inspired by the song "Baby Hotline" by Jack Stauber

I hate the smell of tobacco and smoke. So I decided to draw an image about it.

Inspired by an ashtray painting a couple of weeks ago.

Today I like to present to you an older concept based on a Song by Holding Absence called "Saint Cecilia".

To be more precicesely it was based on the lyrics "You make my heart sing/You break my heartstrings". Whenever I heared that line I had to imagine a person playing the heart like a string instrument. A cello of some sort. And what if there was a human like cello, a human trying to protect their heart of being played too much?

This image started out as a joke. I thought "What would be a harmless yet funny idea for April Fools day? Rickrolling is a little overdone on my page, Shrek would be too OP, I personally don't like joking on the Furry community and I genuinely like anthropomorphic art at times. Even plan to start a illustration on them myself, based on the song "Animal Nitrate" by Suede.... I thought...and remembered that Meme where half of the internet guessed if an object was real or cake. That would be a fun idea to draw. I should give it a try, just for the Shits and Giggles. Turns out, I had a little bit too much fun with the project and so I added more stuff...and more stuff. Until I ended up with this result. For this image I took a lot of inspiration from Scrapbook designs. There are some great artists here on this app that use this style like Masters and I always wanted to try it out myself. The Cakeface was a great opportunity for that, I guess.

Just felt like drawing something silly!

Hey, just wanted to give a quick PSA on a new type of bot/scam going around Tumblr. I've seen these types of comments on multiple artist's posts now. All of them are from generic / empty accounts with the usual bots behavior and they always ask artists to DM them in regards to commissions.

ASSUME MALICIOUS INTENT / REPORT / BLOCK / CARRY ON WITH YOUR DAY

A couple of examples below:
