Morrigan and Lilith
Ok so, I didn't plan on getting back before drawing the last Character poll selection (Liara T'Soni, if you remember) but Udon Entertainment has announced a Fanart contest which ends on the 3rd of January, and since I won't be home for the holidays, I had to squeeze this one out before e...
October News + Sketch (spooky)
Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well.I come today with a lot of news, some good, some bad, some so-so, etc.But more importantly, I will need your opinion on something.I will be as brief as I can, but the renovation is taking a lot longer than expected. Mostly because the professionals we...
Good news - The end is in sight !
So, as some of you might know (if you follow me on my alt. Twitter @SadGanger) there has been some huge progress regarding the house we bought !The judge finally signed the papers we sent them and now, the next step for us is a meeting on the 14th of September with our notary to officially hand us t...
Some NSFW sketches
In order of appearance; Vulnapie, Felia and Keskileene. Please thank The_Mute_Cynic once more, for allowing me to post some content during this hiatus !(Also, I got some news about the house ! but I'll make a separate post for it.)
Some colored sketches
In order of appearance; Senri, Felicia and Alexandria. They are characters owned by The_Mute_Cynic, who's been supporting me for quite a long time with the "Macaron Du Chef" tier ! It is thanks to him that I'll have a few things to post even during my hiatus so, huge thanks again !(T...
2021 Hiatus - Important News
Alright, I mentioned it before and here we are. I have to officially announce that starting on the first of August, I will be on hiatus. That is because -as some of you might know already- my family and I are moving. Thing is, it isn't going very well. (More details below.)How long will the hiat...
Sponty (NSFW OC Commission)
Woo~I'm finally done with this commission !Three months of back-and-forth and multiples delays later, it is complete. I liked working on it, the client was very nice and I liked this character but... Three months, wow.I'll admit I contemplated the idea of giving up and refunding them multipl...
Catching Waves
I tried to make this as colorful as I could, all while making sure the values still made sense and now that it is done... I'm not sure what to think. I'm glad I went through with the "vibe" I got, it was fun to experiment with a more daring palette but I think it still lacks a little...
Little WIP and Important News !
Hello everyone, and sorry for not posting much anywhere lately, but I can promise you it was not because of laziness !First things first: I felt like sharing this WIP because I decided to allow myself to go a little more crazy with the colors this time, and even if the shading isn't done yet, I&...
Fresh Ink
I wanted to push the lights and rendering a little further than usual and thought some UV paint could work here... It was kind of a last minute addition (as you might see the sketch and the colors didn't really start like this) but as I was working on it, my Aqua drawing got mistaken for Kajinma...
May WIP's and bonus sketches !
Alright so, I know I'm still a little low on content lately, but I've prepared the sketch for Marina (1) and the client has validated the flat colors for the Sponty commission (2), which means that I should be able to finish both before next month (if all goes well) !Also, have some bonus sk...
Apolonio Marín Adhemar (Mermay OC)
Here is something that was fun to work on ! I asked people on Twitter for elements to build an OC for Mermay and this is what came out of it.(Here is the template I used, in case you'd like to use it too)I know people don't follow me for male pin-ups (which definitely shows given the lukewar...
Bun-Li and Foxy Han (Get it ?)
Nah sorry, I have no idea how to call this one. I guess the base idea is too silly anyway, I'll have to go with something that makes more sense next time.
April WIP's (2 Sketches + 1 Timelapse attached)
Alright so, since I haven't been able to post some finished pieces in a while, I thought I'd let you know once again that I *am* working on some stuff ! (Quite a lot simultaneously to be honest.)So there is the Chun-Li x Juri rough sketch from last month's poll and also, a clean sketch f...
Morrigan X Bayonetta (Commission)
Phew~I did it !It was challenging but I found a way to make it work, that the client liked and that I am quite proud of too. (I tried to go for a mix of soft and hard edged shading, while trying to keep a better 'control' over my colors and I think it worked pretty well !)
Commission WIP (Sketch + Timelapse)
Alright, so I know I don't often share WIP's but I feel like it would make sense here (since I previously mentioned I'd have a slower art output for the upcoming times... gotta post some content somehow~) This is the penultimate commission I got and it is going to be a fairly challenging...

Belle & Funky (Ms Bellum)
It seems that every time I try to meddle with a soft rendering technique, I feel the need to come back to strong, hard edged cel-shading immediately after. It is what comes to me most naturally after all but I still tried to go a little "further" with the colors this time. Tried to make it &...
Slow and busy times ahead (?)
Hello everyone ! I hope you are all doing fine.I am writing this post because there are a few things I've been wanting to address for a while now.You might have noticed that February has not been my most productive month. There are multiple reasons for that, and while I don't really like sha...

Anti-Aqua's Special Night
As promised, a small alternative version from my last drawing !
Aqua's Special Day
Aqua getting ready for a special day !I'm still trying to meddle with my rendering style, constantly hesitating between hard-edged cel-shading and softy-softness... but I'll just keep drawing and see where it goes for now.(I'm also preparing a small alt.version for this, so stay tuned !)

Her Majesty's Oasis
Welp, I tried something a little different with the rendering this time. I tried to keep a hard-edged cel-shading for everything but the skin, which I tried to make look "smoother" than usual (using almost only soft-edged brushes for the specular highlights). I think it worked pretty well, b...
Happy Holidays !
A little late for Christmas, but I couldn't finish 2020 without drawing my OC Miss Tira one more time, Happy Holidays everyone !
Lisa Minci (Genshin Impact)
Well, that one sure was long overdue.I knew going back to a full drawing after a month-long break would be a little tough, but hopefully I managed to make this look decent enough... Hope you like it !Also, I wanted to credit Umeko J (@umekoj0910 on Twitter) for the alternative costume design since I...

Hiatus update
Hello everyone !As we’re reaching the half of this month of November, I thought I could give you all a little update on my hiatus. So, let me start this by saying that I do feel a lot better today. I also feel like I should be able to resume things pretty soon.So far, this “break” has been pre...
Now on hiatus
Hello everyone.As you might have guessed from the title, I have decided to go on hiatus (for an undetermined length of time.)I have previously mentioned on my Twitter that I wasn’t feeling the best mentally and unfortunately, it hasn’t gotten any better. I could go on and explain why I don’t l...
