My piece for @bambeptin's Generator Rex art telephone: promises!
I did many things differently here from how I usually work (the lineless color styling and many texture gradients + layout), so this was a lot of fun! Thank you for organizing this art telephone, Bamboo! The piece before me by Bean @forestryfae was so impressive in my mind, I had to find a way to represent everything in that, as well as make my own take on it and the whole piece became a fun challenge.
Previews, WIPS and close-ups below under the cut!

I enjoyed working and finishing this a lot, so looking forward to finding more art telephone's and other challenges to take part in again one day :)
Interactive digital experiment with the GameMaker engine (1280×720px)
2023
A group project, made in two days at Tallinn University during the GameMaker game jam on 9-10.12.2023. Our team happened to consist of just me and my two artist friends Ellis and Anni. None of us had used the GameMaker engine before, so we barely got it done. The theme we were given was “free at last.” We wanted to ask “what about after freedom?” The game story is that you play as a lab experiment who escaped and this is your freedom – unexciting life in a panel building with some other escapees, like a new prison. I designed the player character and did the pixel art direction.
Player character: (placeholder?)
Anni: @4nnih6 They teach game making at TLÜ and did the programming for this, putting it all together.
Ellis instagram: @ellis_bug He has partaken in so many game jams!! He came up with the lab part of the backstory, plus various character designs.
Here's a presentation about the game, which shows off more assets, including some things which didn't make it in. Hallmäe / Grey hill is an alternative title for the game, referencing Mustamäe and other panel building areas of Tallinn.
Yamato! One of my favourite One Piece guys. Been wanting to draw something new of him forever. (Saw a dream where he was wearing a hawaiian shirt and just wanted to draw smth similar right away)
Flats and sketches below!

Obligatory homestuck reference (I loved coloring these horns haha)
Some coloring!!
I'd answered an ask on tumblr saying, I'd probably wanna draw more Yamato from One Piece, so here he is! Drew this a few weeks ago but got so busy I neglected to post it (if it's a double-post, sorry!)
a little new years doodle I've been thinking of doing since new years eve and realizing it's... dragon year right after rabbit year... perfectly matching my 2022 and 2023 cartoon obsessions haha 😂
anyway, these were fun, just a casual crossover! I'm now realizing these kinda look like fighter game screens a la tekken or mortal kombat lol!! hope yall like em too :)
Experimental fanart doodles! Made a new ballpoint pen in Krita and played around with Pesi's watercolor brushes again for this combo.... Trying new things always makes me feel a bit better :)
Kitsune and Usagi walking somewhere.... pretend I didn't mess up their heights while just doodling without direction 😂
Jade Armor #phonedoodle for drawn on the 1-year anniversary on September 7th! It's a fun action cartoon I've been watching recently!
I haven't had the energy for anything bigger, so I've just been doodling things on my phone, but I like how this came out so maybe I'll continue it one day :D
Audio is the start of damn Right by the awesome Audrey Nuna, and the program is Blender3D (Greasepencil 2D), characters are from Stan Sakai's Samurai Rabbit cartoon on Netflix. It's a fun show that's been inspiring me, so I took a theory I had last year about a background detail and made it into an amalgam fanfic idea in january-february this year. I started making cover art for the chapters this week.
been on a health break so I had a lot of fun with this short animation! Working on this and the fic have been fun reminders for me to enjoy making stuff :)
fancomic/fic/animatic coming… I don't know when! but I'm excited to be working on this! it's just smth I've been writing on the side for a while and it's been fun! I want to attempt it as a hybrid of the different mediums I enjoy using to tell stories, but who knows, maybe I'll just post little tid-bits and sketches of it as well :]
I had a friend who doesn't know the comic, the series or the character, read the outline I have and they really liked it, even said it made them curious about the comic and series now??? And honestly, that is one of the biggest compliments I've received on my fanfic, so i'm really proud of what I've written and drawn so far.
If you missed a chance to get this zine (and the other merch) don't worry, there's still some leftovers! You can still get it in the Wicked X Lovely Afterparty sale! Just go to the profile to see more! The sale lasts until September 26th!
I'll be putting the process for this illo up soon as well, so look forward to that too :D
lol some rottmnt turtles warmup doodles! I drew this the same day the rottmnt reanimate collab came out on Dec 20th because I wanted to celebrate it a bit! ...lol u can tell the drawings get slightly better from Leo to Donnie to Mikey and Raph (my faves to draw haha)
link goes to my main artblog where I've posted about my own shots in the collab! I don't post there very often but I do try when I finish bigger projects or sketches.
Hey all! The ROTTMNT reanimate is finally out! It took such a short time compared to other reanimates but I'm happy to share both my earlier shot and a new one I got this year!
Please watch the "Clothes don't make the turtle" reanimate here!
I also posted the WIP videos for shot 199 and shot 13 this week so please have a look if you're interested ^^ And check out more posts @rottmntreanimated here on tumblr too! This was a fun fan collab to be part of that really let me stretch my blender 2D-experimenting wings a bit and I'm glad I got to see it finished :)
