"Ta-dah!" - Rest in piece little furbaby, but a man's gotta eat. Just in case you were wondering what Ianry was aiming at a couple of posts ago, this was it. Much to Sirrols relief, Ianry proves that when it comes to archery, he's the expert. And of course, he's very proud of that and not afraid to show it 😎 So uhh... I reached 1k...?! What??? Pretty crazy and pretty damn cool, thank you all so much! I'll properly celebrate the occasion in my next post (for aesthetic reasons) which is gonna be an artist support! Look forward to friday guys 👀🌝 #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #smallartist #artwork #artistsupport #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #oc #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #comicart #graphicnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart #shinqua https://www.instagram.com/p/COLM-eMBiu-/?igshid=zjbhr0kmv5lv

Not even Sirrol can stop himself from smiling at this scene. What's up everyone! I've finished the linework for the remaining pages of chapter 2 and I'm coloring right now. So by May, I should be done with the chapter. And in the next chapter, Myrranha is finally introduced in the story so that I can post a lot more about her! Yay! Also another great thanks for 900 followers, it's super cool! I'm very grateful for the support 🌝🌟 #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #smallartist #artwork #artistsupport #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #oc #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #sketch #comicart #graphicnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart #shinqua https://www.instagram.com/p/COA8pZ0h17Y/?igshid=u9czcf72yve0

It's time to fight and to bless that booty! There's seldomly a calm moment for Ryelle, and this certainly ain't one of them. Next up, you'll see main character number three in all her glory, finally. I really hope you're going to like her. I'm continuously working and I pumped out four pages in one week! Right know I'm gonna have to do some uni stuff though, yikes. #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artwork #artistsupport #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #oc #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #sketch #sketchbook #comicart #graphicnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart #shinqua https://www.instagram.com/p/CM7aJjaD5Vc/?igshid=10cfq7l802gaw

Next in line for this meet and greet: Myrranha Valendrar (Pronounced me-rahn-ya). Filled to the brim with determination and intelligence, Myrranha is an excellent, albeit stubborn strategist. Myrranha is a descendant of the high-profile, powerful sorcerer clan of Valendrar. When she was 12, the clan was annihilated in an act of retaliation by a kingdom that lost their king to an assassination allegedly carried out by a Valendrar. Myrranha was one of the only survivors, and so she sought refuge in a nearby country. There, she later on formed a resistance of sorcerers and alike against the kingdom that killed her family. Despite her calm and collected nature, she carries a lot of hatred and the desire for revenge in her heart, which sometimes leads her dangerously close to losing control of her sorcery. Don't be fooled, because Myrranha will fullfil your every desire for beauty and fashion, while simultaneously kicking ass! And very soon, she'll be introduced in the story as well, so expect to see more of her in the future! #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artwork #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterart #originalart #pencildrawing #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #sketching #sketch #comicart #graphicnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart #shinqua https://www.instagram.com/p/CNNY11WDG13/?igshid=5xqhake6g7iq

They just love helping. Sirrol and his friend (yes, you'll get to meet him very soon!) just accepted the quest that starts it all. They just don't know that yet. And of course they did it to be nice, not for the coin. Well, maybe a bit of both. I decided to include a bit of dialogue this time so that you can get to know the character dynamics a bit better. While these two gentlemen love to banter with one another, their friendship is very strong and they're not afraid to show that. So begone toxic masculinity, men can show affection in their friendships too! 🌝 #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #smallartist #artwork #artistsupport #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #oc #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #sketch #comicart #graphicnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart #shinqua https://www.instagram.com/p/CNXo3N2DrZO/?igshid=1exk5nugmwt06

Eyes on the target. Yes, he does use his bow and yes, it's super hot. Take a second to admire the focus and seldom moment of seriousness. In my next post, you'll also finally get to know this master of archery. As a last comment, thank you for 500+ followers! That's so cool and I'm super glad about it! 💜 #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #smallartist #artwork #artistsupport #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #oc #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #sketch #comicart #graphicnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart #shinqua https://www.instagram.com/p/CNfcgJljEDF/?igshid=4t1p8b511f3

Two bros, chillin' in a hot tub - five feet apart 'cause they're not... Well, actually, one of them is 👀 Slide to the end to see these two goofballs behind the scenes 🧡 After a long day of slaughtering monsters, the boys treat themselves to a well deserved trip to the bathhouse 🔥🔥🔥 Enjoy this steamy excerpt from the first act of arc 1! I already started on act 2. There's also two more main character reveals left, so look forward to that! Also, I want to thank everyone once again, this time for 300+ followers! This happened much faster than I anticipated, and I'm so grateful, so thank you all! ❤️ #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artwork #artistsupport #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #oc #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #sketch #sketchbook #comicart #graphicnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart #shinqua https://www.instagram.com/p/CMxMZbaD69W/?igshid=xz7orq91oqlc

Don't be shy, say hi to Ryelle (pronounced re-yell)! She's just as much confident as she is cocky, and despite being small, she's incredibly dangerous. Ryelle was orphaned at a very young age and has since fought her way through life. She quickly learned to fight and to steal in order to survive. Once she reached young adulthood, Ryelle had already made quite the infamous repuation for herself as a deadly and quite ruthless mercenary. Without a family, Ryelle also never really had a home, but she learned to accept that. It is rumored that Ryelle is never seen without her gloves - could she be hiding something? This character is a special one for me, as she is a derivative of my very first OC (that was a self insert in the Naruto Universe when I was about 11 lol). Naturally, she evolved quite heavily over all those years and now reached her peak form as Ryelle. With how dear she is to my heart, it's even more surprising for me how much I fell in love with my other characters. I hope you will too! Also check out my new story to get to know me a bit better! I'll also pin it to my profile ❤️ #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artwork #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #postoftheday #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterart #originalart #pencildrawing #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #sketch #sketchbook #comicart #graphicnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart https://www.instagram.com/p/CMmkoo3DuJj/?igshid=aa99j0m6egex

Someone didn't get the memo about striking a cool entrance pose. Monster guts just ain't his thing. An panel from a new page! I really struggled with this page and redid it multiple times, this panel only came to life because it was a replacement for another panel I wasn't satisfied with. But I love it now! And just like in my last post, I added a quick little doodle, I really like doing these to showcase even more, and less serious sides of my characters. Thank you so, so much for 100+ followers everyone! In the words of Heidi N Closet: I feel blessed and highly favored! In my next post, I will introduce you to the next main character - my little blue haired hothead! #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artwork #artistsupport #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #postoftheday #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #pencildrawing #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #sketch #sketchbook #comicart #visualnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart https://www.instagram.com/p/CMcHHOrDkYS/?igshid=jx6jsu337egk

Ouch, oof, ouchie. Bandaging up new, and old wounds. This belongs to the opening, and it's the first page I drew. I had the idea for the opening in my half sleep lol. Luckily, that happens to me quite often, anyone know that feeling of waking up with a great idea? I've received a lot of support these past couple days and I wanna thank everyone for that! ❤️ #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artwork #artistoninstagram #artistsupport #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #postoftheday #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #pencildrawing #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #sketch #sketchbook #comicart #visualnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart https://www.instagram.com/p/CMW9h8jDPbA/?igshid=35susenujew4

Here we go: Meet Sirrol. He's rather reserved and stoic, but also really loving and deeply protective of those that are important to him. Though he would never admit it, he loves bad puns and animals. He also gives great hugs. Sirrol was born into a highly respected family of servants to his kingdom. From a young age, he was trained to be a soldier, and quickly rose through the ranks of the royal guard by the time he was a young adult. When his kingdom started experimenting on their soldiers in an attempt to defend themselves from the war, Sirrol's sense of duty led him to immediately volunteer. Ultimately, the experiments failed and left him with physical and mental scars. This caused him to defect from his kingdom and begin life as a mercenary. This is the first of four official character designs! Although he looks (and is) intimidating, Sirrol is a big softie at heart. #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artwork #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #postoftheday #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #pencildrawing #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #sketching #sketch #sketchbook #comicart #visualnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart https://www.instagram.com/p/CMR0tUajPdC/?igshid=1pc48rdy6jf5g

Why do all the hard work when you can lean back and let your best friend take over? Look at at this cutie... Look. At. Him! This is another excerpt from a page, and I love the result. I finished another two pages, but for the next two I need to draw indoor backgrounds. And those are the bane of my existence. But practice makes perfect, eh? #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artwork #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #postoftheday #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #pencildrawing #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #sketching #sketch #sketchbook #comicart #visualnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart https://www.instagram.com/p/CMPtOlUDQLa/?igshid=1s06w48v3xs2t

And here we go, the first sneak peek! This excerpt is taken from the very first page of the very first chapter (sans the opening). In that chapter, you'll get to know the lovely two main characters featured in this, and the next post. They're out on a mission to slay a monster that's been plaguing a small village nearby. Gotta make your coin somehow. I had so much fun drawing this page. It feels like the start of something big, whether that may just be for me or for a much bigger audience. My motivation is on an absolute high right now and I'm working on new pages everyday. This is going to be an incredibly long process (there's 16 arcs with about 3-4 long chapters on average), but it's going to be worth it! #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artwork #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #postoftheday #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #pencildrawing #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #sketching #sketch #sketchbook #comicart #visualnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKHPDmDmZG/?igshid=3c1n7fp8ysrn

To round up the sketch-posts, here's some supporting-character designs I picked out. I actually had a lot of fun imagining and sketching the side characters and I'm really happy with most of the results. Next up, I'm gonna show you some artwork from the first chapter. I already finished drawing the opening, and it feels SO good. I'm having a lot of fun with this project, regardless of whether it'll go anywhere or not. I'm super proud of myself for consistently working on this and that's what matters most! #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artwork #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #postoftheday #drawingoftheday #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #pencildrawing #traditionalart #digitaldrawing #digitalart #sketching #sketch #sketchbook #comicart #visualnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart https://www.instagram.com/p/CME_SN7jnj0/?igshid=5x5ttpk0l480

Just a little comfort. Am I going to hold back on posting about my ships? Absolutely not. They live in my mind 24/7 and - of course - rent free. How could I not post about them? Romance and love plays a big part in my story. Funnily enough, I don't particularly like the romance genre on its own, but I love romances within other genres. You're gonna see a lot more of these two, but also other (and more diverse!) pairings. #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artwork #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #pencildrawing #traditionalart #digitaldrawing #digitalart #comicart #visualnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart #sketching #sketch #sketchbook #romantic #love #ship #ocship https://www.instagram.com/p/CL_0AFbDDj_/?igshid=8d9otca4pnob

Strong, stoic and a heart of gold. A man that tries his best to navigate through the hardships of a troubled past, lost love and a continent that remains at war. And here's the fourth and final protagonist of my story. More about him and the others coming soon. In other news: I just finished the first page of the first chapter! It's an exciting and good feeling, even though it's only the first page out of hundreds to come. In a bit, you'll get to see some of the artwork from said page to get a feel of what my work is going to look like. #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artwork #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #pencildrawing #traditionalart #digitaldrawing #digitalart #comicart #visualnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart #sketching #sketch #sketchbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CL9NkGWjxab/?igshid=nplab9zxbu0d

Stealth and strength - it's over before you know it. This lovely hothead ranks among the best mercenaries money can buy. Just one more main character left to reveal. After that, I intend to show some of my work on the very first pages to give you an idea of what to expect. And of course, I want to properly introduce my characters to you, so look forward to that. #art #artgram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artwork #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #pencildrawing #traditionalart #digitaldrawing #digitalart #comicart #visualnovel #mangaart #yourtruism #shinquaart #sketching #sketch #sketchbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CL4EM2PjUDn/?igshid=1ae5u39u6bj7
