Excited to announce that my work is featuring in the Emergent 2023: Graduate Showcase Exhibition at Bunjil Place Gallery!!

This work was part of my final project for Units 3&4 Visual Communication and Design, a mockup book cover of a teenage fantasy novel 'Blood Hunting'. I'll go into more details about the story behind the project itself in another post later in the week <3

The opening night was last Sunday and dude it was a wild experience getting to see people looking at my work in person. The works of all the other artists in the exhibition are all so insane, seriously an honour to be among them wtff. If you're nearby I strongly recommend checking it out, it's going on until the 7th of April 💥

Thank you to Bunjil Place Gallery for providing this amazing opportunity. Special thanks to my VisCom teacher for his guidance (and constant critique) with this project and to my best friend for keeping me sane while we were working on it 💥

I created my OC Xariah back in 2020. They've gone through many redesigns throughout the years, but I thought it would be fun to draw their original design in my current style

Xariah actually still wears the yellow tank top present in their original design, it's part of their outfit when they were younger <3

IMARA NAKYANZI, the burly swordfighter who founded MAKARA; initially, her one-woman side hustle. She has since retired to the humble life of a fishmonger, but still oversees MAKARA's missions and it's agents.

Imara was once a selfish, prideful and vain individual. However, her previous job as a sword-fighting teacher to the young prodigy Vera initiated a change within her for the good of the girl. She is firm but fair, encouraging, protective. --- (Just a reminder, if you'd like to follow along with these characters, the synopsis in the teaser post puts them into context ;))

VÉRA KUKLA-SED'MAYA, an ex-prodigy, MAKARA's youngest and strongest agent. Her fighting style is precise and rhythmic, her mind is as sharp as her swords. Her manner of speaking, however, is quite blunt and uncharismatic.

She uses art (whether it be in her sketchbook or thrown up in spray paint) to counterbalance the calculated rhythms of the other aspects of her life. Furthermore, she marks the institutions that they raid with MAKARA's symbol to make their deeds known.

Véra arrived in the city alongside Imara Nakyanzi, her sword-fighting instructor from her time as a Prodigy. She trusts her like a daughter would her mother...

The manic laughter of SHĒNGGǑU YĚ can be heard throughout the streets, indicating the wild dog's thrill amid a brawl, even if he's on the losing end. The man is constantly hungry for a fight, with uncontainable energy and a seemingly infinite stamina.

Shenggou is often loud and rambunctious, doing things for his own amusement, trying to annoy his friends. He has a strong love for his family, especially his older sister; the perfect child he failed to be. To his parents, he's more tame, respectful and well mannered, though only to a certain extent... --- (Just a reminder, if you'd like to follow along with these characters, the synopsis in the teaser post puts them into context ;))

YAASHI M. MAHARAJ, a thespian of many faces; a byronic hero, a femme fatale and a damsel in distress. Her outfit is easy to manipulate, allowing her to quickly transform between these three (main) characters whilst on missions.

She utilises her acting skills in tandem with hallucinogens to manipulate her targets into believing that she truly is the character she aims to portray, in order to obtain vital information for MAKARA's missions.

Offstage she is just as dramatic and eccentric, often prompting her friends to play along. She's assertive but not controlling, which helps her with her job as well as living with her roommates. --- (Just a reminder, if you'd like to follow along with these characters, the synopsis in the teaser post puts them into context ;))

KODA KODA, a shape-shifter that can morph from poison dart frog to "human," Koda is an engineer of it's own poison. They've been able to modify their poison to be sweet in taste, work faster or slower, or reverse it to have healing properties, and in turn has become somewhat of a medic for MAKARA's agents.

Despite her flamboyant and bold personality, Koda is very much a hermit, she rarely ever leaves her lab, let alone MAKARA's headquarters, and even then she refuses to go outside in her human form. --- (Just a reminder, if you'd like to follow along with these characters, the synopsis in the teaser post puts them into context ;))

CYPRUS SIN-DÉFTEROS, a boy haunted by the whispers of his past. During his time as a Prodigy, he was scornfully compliant with The Professor that raised him, up until a certain point; he refused to use his strength to hurt others. A graceful war machine with a heart of gold.

He now exists as an echo of the man he once was, naive to the world due to losing a chunk of his memory, unknowing of how it happened... Despite this, he’s still maintained a lot of his fighting capabilities, albeit compromised, as well as his endearing personality; he’s easily excitable and incredibly sweet, though, for now, his indignance still sleeps…

Upon first meeting XARIAH DAICHI, they can be perceived as standoffish, overall unfriendly. Among those they feel safe around (which includes the other MAKARA agents), however, they’re playfully sarcastic and blunt. They can easily shift into being genuine if the situation calls for it and those closest to them find it easy to confide in them.

They have a knack for gadgetry and constructing weapons, which they wield in battle, these include: a grappling hook, guns, knives, throwing knives and occasionally, a battle-axe.

They harbour a dark secret; they were responsible for the partial erasure of their best friend's memory. This web of lies burdens them with immense guilt, though one that they dare not reveal the truth to anyone, for fear that everything they had worked to build would fall apart... --- (Just a reminder, if you'd like to follow along with these characters, the synopsis in the teaser post puts them into context ;))

MYKA IBAÑEZ, a sweet girl that can often be seen rollerblading around the city, her bright hair like a flame in the night.

She works at a local [Filipino] restaurant. The owners took her in when she appeared in the place a few years ago as a fearful teenager seeking refuge. Over the years they have become like family to her.

Despite her friendly demeanour, few of those close to her know of her past as a lab rat in a Prodigy institution, the only evidence of such the burn scars that snake down her left side. The girl keeps her cards close to her chest... --- (Just a reminder, if you'd like to follow along with these characters, the synopsis in the teaser post puts them into context ;))

LIAR LIAR, CHAOS FIRE: OC Debut Teaser

SYNOPSIS

Morality has long since been sacrificed for the pursuit of progress. A future where children are selected to become weapons known as ‘Prodigies,’ who exhibit the extent of science, technology and martial prowess. A world where deities are created by sinners.

Two survivors of one of the many laboratories specialised in raising a Prodigy, Xariah Daichi and Cyprus Sin-Defteros; a lab rat and a Prodigy. They find refuge among the members of MAKARA, a ragtag group of vigilantes fighting to erode the work of the sinners who remain unpunished for the atrocities they have committed. But who can you trust when lying is the only way to survive?

Ehe, hi hello, so I've been working on character designs/redesigns for my OC story that I've been developing for a while: Liar Liar, Chaos Fire. It's not a novel or a webcomic or anything, it just... Exists in my brain at the moment, but I will be using these guys for future illustrations that will hopefully hint at what their stories and dynamics and shit. Three of the characters I've drawn a few times before but the rest of 'em I've only shown to some of my friends, so I'm very excited to reveal them here, it's taken me ~3 months to finish this lineup, and that's not even counting the time it took to figure out their designs/redesigns.

I'll be revealing each of these characters individually over the next few weeks with a short character description, so if you'd like to follow along I'd recommend reading the synopsis (^) which puts them into a lil context ;)

HALO I'M ALIVE

Uhuh participated in a collab over at @sushushh's Discord server, hosted by the lovely @_lapelle (tysmsm for hosting it was really fun :DD <333).

We were each assigned a colour and we had to pick a live action screencap that was predominantly that hue. So here's Koda (sneak peak for the redesigns I'm working on? 👁️👁️) in a screenshot from MARINA's "Oh No!" music video. The song has nothing to do with Koda's story or anything but the eyebleeing and pink matched their aesthetic lmao

Some of the other guys' artworks are on the 4/5 slide, so go check em out they're all very yummy!!

Alrighty here we go~

They're a 10, but they might try to steal your eyeballs if they think they're pretty

He's a 10, but he's a dumbass and is definitely not interested

She's a 10, but she's about to make you blind due to the sheer brightness of her hair and outfit

She's a 10, but her social skills are down the drain and her only way of engaging in conversation is correcting you if you've said or done something the wrong way

He's a 10, but he has a hyena laugh that he will unleash whenever he says or does something stupid (which is 90% of the time)

She's a 10, but she's a thespian and you can't tell whether you're having an actual conversation with her or if you're apart of her improv

They're a 10, but they're a frog

She's a 10, but she's basically mother of most of the other idiots mentioned

I'm making my own "10 but" game that encourages reader engagement.

Post "they're a 10 but" statements about your characters. Don't state ANYWHERE in the post who the characters are you're referring to, let your readers guess who you're posting about. :)

Can be a fun way to see if your readers see your characters the same way you do.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to join in the fun and play.

Dawn Sin-Daichi in Tears of the Kingdom...

Guess he's losing another limb....

The last character you drew/wrote about is now stuck in the last game you played. How screwed are they?
