I EXIST AND IT IS TIME FOR ARTFIGHT AHAHAH!

[spectraltenkai]

"Do I need a reason to help out a friend?"

Got in a Sonic Unleashed mood recently thanks to the OST being nostalgic- did this on CMYK instead of the usual color profile since I'm trying to balance colors out more- a nice one for sure~

April 13th is Shaymin Day from what I understand! :D Happy Shaymin Day to a mythical mon I've always loved ever since I was a kid!

HUZZAH! My submission for the MHWilds Webcomic Contest! I asked when it would be ok to submit this to other platforms, and was told it would be after the winners are announced- soooo here it is!

For all the stuff I had to handle in the time prior to the deadline- it's not too bad! Admittedly could've used more time to do this, but irl stuff kept me occupied for a while. It was still fun nonetheless and definitely gave me a bit of a kick to get back into making comics.

Please keep in mind that, at the time of this being posted here, I still have not gotten the game yet, and I need to clear room on my computer comfortably first before getting it since I know it's large - I will say though I LOVE this flaming octo sooooo much, amazing addition to the series! Very fun to draw :D It's a bit long- but I wanted to leave a... bit of a cliffhanger, ehe-

[spectraltenkai]

Long time no post! I didn't realize I last posted in November oops- anywho, it's Pokemon Day! Between some art for friends and poor sleep, uhh yeah I needed to take it easy for a while. But hey, I am here with a little, simple, and quick doodle :D

Pokemon of course has been a HUGE part of my life, and it always will be! I haven't drawn Scorbunny in forever which is a major crime, hands down my favorite fire starter. By the time this is posted, I still wouldn't have seen the direct yet, and I'm really looking forward to what's in store!

[spectraltenkai]

May we cross paths again, Simulanka...

Went to test making a piece using the CMYK color profile instead of the usual RGB. I think I did ok? The colors are definitely very different posting it here versus the other color profile, wow-- color theory practice I guess, except I have no idea how to color theory exactly, HAH! BUT STILL DID IT!

A simple piece, yet it feels nice. Simulanka was honestly very great and made my summer for sure, especially with seeing Wanderer's growth and making a friend with a dragon! Can't wait to see these two again-

[spectraltenkai]

Semi-bonus doodle, semi-not but blasted with full color on this one! HAPPY HALLOWEENNNNNNN! Wish I had a better idea for a spooky pic but I am obligated to draw a ghost type I like in some capacity every art challenge. I both do and don't make the rules--

[spectraltenkai]

"Ruler of the Citadel, one of the Three Lords... a fallen soldier, taking the mantle of a responsibility that no one else should bare, corrupting your very core to the point of mirrors shattering at a face you can't recognize anymore. To control the devil's power as your own just to save others, only to be the very thing you've sworn to destroy. May your story's truth be brought to light and candles be lit honor the sacrifice you had made all those years ago."

Song: Scarlet Feast

And finally for Halloween, we have Malzeno!

Honestly, much like Primordial Malzeno, I love this dragon a lot. I had a feeling things weren't what they seemed based on the story, and man I was right as I was slowly rising (HAH!) through the HRs and MRs since I didn't get Sunbreak immediately. There's a lot of poetry I can spin about this freaking dragon, it's kind of crazy, as I constantly think about this guy's origin. But alas, I will cut my rambles short there.

Just wanna take a moment to say thank you to anyone watching or passing through-- truly, these days, I do not get much time to draw confidently unless it's done well in advance and I still want to put something out there. Your patience has been great, and I hope you had a nice October and a nice start to November :D

[spectraltenkai]

"Look at you, crawling like a bunch of ants... is it my turn yet? With these rising flames, you shall see the very balemoon itself."

Song: Absolutio Absoluta Absolutissime

I don't even have a witty description for this pic outside of how this is the first time I've really drawn this kind of angle before, a lot of experimentation was put into this because oh man Genshin designs are still painfully hard for me to draw with all those details, and the first boss in a longgg time that put the fear of god in me. Anyways, WOOO!

[spectraltenkai]

"When your greed beckons you to lose your own soul to a vessel of twisted madness... you best hope those that have come to your aid will liberate what remains of your sanity."

Song: C-R-O-W-N-E-D (Remastered)

As much as I would've wanted to draw Marx Soul for the 457th time, I've never actually drawn Magolor Soul before! Clearly that has changed- rambles below the cut:

As a huge fan of Kirby ever since childhood (much like Pokemon and other series), this boss ended up hitting harder when the switch remaster dropped to be honest. Without spoiling anything, let's just say the True Arena and Traveler in Another Dimension made me very close to crying over Magolor. Heck, even listening to the boss theme has me almost a little emotional- I'm not afraid to admit that.

The lore of the Master Crown is beyond insane to me too- literally corrupting the user so much they almost take a mental backseat until they are completely eradicated from the original body on top of it. I mean, that almost goes for all soul forms in some capacity, but WOW Magolor's just hits different.

[spectraltenkai]

"He may be rather introverted and keeps others at an arm's length, but we all know that- deep down- he cares. Although he has a hard time expressing it, he's got a big heart and prefers actions over words. Shadows also tend to be the strongest where the light is brightest, and even if that light was extinguished years ago, he still lives and learns, protecting others as per her promise."

Songs: Live and Learn (Eurobeat Remix) Supporting Me (Original) I Am... All of Me (Original)

Oh and here is Shadow: Dark Beginnings in case if you haven't watched it all!

HAPPY SHADOW GENERATIONS RELEASE DAY! I will not be posting any spoilers relating to it without proper warnings as a heads up, but it could also be a while before I get to drawing stuff from this game. On another note, I got every single other pic done in advance and spent the remaining time (up until this got posted) working slowly but surely on this pic! More rambles under the cut btw-

I really wanted to go all out for Shadow, given how he was one of my favorite characters from childhood. He's impacted what kind of characters I tend to gravitate to without even realizing it up until some time ago-- makes me laugh but in a good way. Ever since playing Shadow the Hedgehog 2005 for myself and watching other older games he's appeared in, it's definitely safe to say he's a huge favorite of mine, given how much development he's gone through over the years. Heck, t's been such a long time since I've felt this immense amount of hype.

With this piece, I worried about it being too cluttered, so there was some experimentation done on this one; mostly for the background. Seems as though I don't draw Shadow enough though, as he's definitely more fun to sketch than I realized. I also tried including a few of his doom powers which were showcased in the trailer, so I hope it looks good! Some perspectives were also tricky, but I thank a few friends of mine with help in the early sketching stages on this. Absolutely proud of how this piece came out, and may everyone have a great time with Generations!

"Master Link... if you don't complete this trial, the fate of the world as we know it will be doomed... yes, I know you're terrified, but you have to go, you're the hero!"

Song: Din's Silent Realm

When someone says 'Guardians', most may think of the ones from Breath of the Wild, which is understandable. But I wonder how many think of the Silent Realm Guardians because LORD HAVE MERCY! These things made me scared of the silent realms as a kid, specifically Din's with how my brother and I found out the hard way that the one that floats and carries scythes can go through walls. Pretty music for sure, but the guardians will teach you what anxiety is in this Skyward Sword for sure

[spectraltenkai]

"Uh... Jeena to Rallen on board the ship? Yeah, I need a bigger boot and axe for this one."

Song: Vs Electrox

Already winding down with the latter half of this month- crazy, isn't it? I didn't know the name of this boss for 12 years, pretty wild because I do not remember anywhere in-game that tells you boss names. Anyways- I gotta draw some sort of entity from the Spectrobes series because we need another game in this series man! Pretty horrific going all the way up this tower dealing with the idea of if you need to solve a puzzle or if you need to keep freaking fighting waves of enemies. The fact that you get hinted about this one long before you even reach it is also nuts-

Also spider. Surely that might freak someone out if they aren't ready for it when playing this game

"<DISTANT PEPPINO SPAGHETTI SCREAMS OF ANXIETY>"

Song: Pizza Time Never Ends

Yep. Fake Peppino. That's it. It was going to be simpler but oops, my hand slipped! Watching my friends play this fight was wild and I will honestly say this is my favorite battle theme in all of Pizza Tower

[spectraltenkai]

"It's been an awfully long time since we've seen each other, hasn't it? Well, come drop by the studio. There's something I want you to see"- Joey Drew moments before Henry meets disaster

Song: Sketches (Extended)

If I don't draw the one and only Bendy in some fashion then I will feel like I've committed a horrible sin- GIVE IT UP FOR THE INK DEMON BENDYYYY WOOOO! Surprisingly the quickest one to draw, I'll forever love this indie horror series :D

Besides, I draw the regular toony form, the BatDR style- I need to give more attention to the BatIM version!

[spectraltenkai]

"I swear Boneysaurs are... something, but this is the only one I am going nuts over" - some Fossil Fighter who just wants a very specific trilobite

Song: Tragic Serenade

Fossil Fighters fanart? On my art blog? More likely than you think! Today brings an extended version of 'living bones', being the Boneysaur B-Ptera!

Seriously out of all the walking skeletons in this game, B-Ptera is, hands down, the coolest one to me. The crescent moon crest, how can you get better than that?!

[spectraltenkai]

"Souls that venture through the thicket may never return, succumbing to the madness of being lost amongst the leaves with stars being their bystanders light years away. The earth may reclaim those who wander, yet the forest will remember."

Song: Santalune Forest

For day 13, we have the cute and spooky duo of Phantump and Trevenant respectively! I know the Pumpkaboo line is quite popular and fits this month too, but let's give the spotlight to the tree friends!

Also made a shiny version for this AND ALSO HAPPY 11 YEARS TO KALOS! WHY HAS SO MUCH TIME GONE BY???? And Legends ZA hype! Kalos renaissance!
