d e v o u r — a sephiroth fanzine

this is a story that's been living in my head rent free for a while now and I've only recently had the courage to put it down on paper.

this is my first time taking on narrative illustration, and it was really an opportunity for me to put everything i love into one thing.

it's by no means perfect - there's still a lot i want to improve on, skill-wise, but i also had a lot of fun making it and i hope you'll enjoy it too!

Beach party gang! 🌊🌴🌞

Multi character pieces are so hard on me...my HP is basically in the negative now...

"Oujosama, it's time to go to bed ♠︎"

Finally got to draw the murder husbands!! I've been wanting to draw more Hunter x Hunter art for a while but been putting it off because I haven't had any solid ideas.

Then one day a vision manifested and I knew it was time 😂

I would like to think that my era of drawing cute girls is finally here uwu

It's been a while since I've been more interested in the girls in a series than boys and I intend to fully lean into it

This world is a wasteland Please let me go, go, go, go, go, go, go (Don't let me go)

I recently finished watching arcane and I have a lot of feelings about Jinx 🥺

Tried experimenting with a few things in this piece - there's definitely still a lot that I can improve on for next time but I kinda like how it turned out!

Geto Suguru on the cover of GQ Japan

I finally had time to work on this... This is gonna be the 4th and final piece in my JJK GQ cover series. These pull quotes are always insane to come up with - if I had to do another one any time soon my brain might actually just give up on me 💀

Part of the same series: Gojo | Toji | Sukuna

Mitsui Hisashi the corporate cattle

This is a riso piece I did for a local risograph show themed "Working 9 to 9" aka the corporate cattle salaryman life.

I tried drawing Mitsui a little haggard because it vibes with the theme but in the near future I also wanna put him in a clean suit, looking like the slick ikemen (appearance only) that he can be ✨

I was going through my old drawings and I realized I hadn't posted this one...

Drew it last year for Mitsui's birthday and ended up handing them out at Anime North 2024 haha

the little prince and his tamed fox

Drew this for rumitsu day but I'm a little late to the event 💦

I've always wanted to do a Little Prince rendition of this ship because it's so fitting!! Mitsui is basically a tsundere prince(ss) and Rukawa is of course our resident fox.

Sephiroth: Demon of Wutai

🎵Hello darkness my old friend🎶

It's been a long while since I did a serious illustration. I think Sephiroth has very much been a muse figure for me - I still have so many ideas of things I wanna draw with him as my subject, but my time/energy has been very limited lately.

I tried to incorporate a bit of Yoshitaka Amano in this piece. Really happy with how the stylized flames turned out but man, I don't want to draw flames for a while after this 😂

FF7 SOLDIER First Class members reimagined as a Kpop group, and this is my fan merch design for them (fan merch of fan merch lol very meta)

I've had the Kpop idol AU idea for a while now and... at some point I wanna draw more of it...

I'm also planning to have them at PomWest / KupoCon next weekend so if you're going to that, these will be available then!

I forgot to put my cursed rendition of Hot Yaoi Base on tumblr what a travesty.

Studying Leyendecker's style, and what better way than to use your ship as your model 😏

summer breeze

I meant to draw this for SukuIta Week 2024 but Life decided to hit me with full force earlier this month instead (at least I managed to finish it before my trip!)

I really like using this style of colour blocking to draw but I'm still trying to figure out my process/style...

A demon and an angel caught in a rendezvous?!

My contribution to this year's SephZack/ZackSeph week (day 4 - angel & demon)!

I've been meaning to do more high fashion X FF7 concepts (and if i'm lucky, I'll have enough ideas to make a smol zine!)

I started this piece about a week ago and it's been blood, sweat, and tears... I'm not cut out to do intricate lineart my hand almost broke. I will definitely be thinking twice about incorporating armour into fashion concepts in the future...

Fushiguro Toji on the cover of GQ Japan

I finally got around to adding more drawings to the GQ cover art collection lol. There's another one in the plans... let's see if I can get it done soon...
