Hey I’m Cecil and here’s where I post my art! I’ll draw whatever comes to mind, can’t promise for any consistency on fandoms n' shit but I hope you’ll enjoy what I do!
This was like ~20 minutes into session 1, explaining to our boss how we fucked up our last mission as a cold open. I think we slid into... one of the dynamics ever really quickly.
Drew something since I wanted to contribute to the global strike week but can’t afford to miss class right now. I would like to make more, but I’m unsure if I’ll be able to.

I've been wanting to do poster parodies with our csm tabletop guys for a while now, and I finally finished the first one. Here's Mirror Devil (with Time Fiend trapped in the reflection of their golf club) on a poster based on the posters for American Psycho.
Whew! Been awhile since I’ve posted, recently have gone back to college so it’s been getting harder to do personal art, but I made an entry for @lchariott‘s DTIYS (linked on instagram here.). I had a super fun time playing around with colors and the pose; in general I’ve been trying to push perspective more so I’m glad i got an avenue to explore that. It’s also my first time drawing Jodio and Dragona so I hope I captured their likeness well!
Hey!!! You made a "how to draw wings" sheet, but— how on Earth do you draw horse!?!? The bane of every artists existence
Yeahhh horses are hard. They have lots of little nuances on top of complex anatomy and weird ass shapes (literally and figuratively). Drawing them requires lots and lots of practice. And this is like...entire art book levels of subject matter but here are a few tricks that I've picked up over time -
Key body shapes - shoulder, barrel, hip
I won't go too far into this one because Ken Hultgren does a much better job in his book The Art of Animal Drawing. But TL;DR - a horse's body has three main masses - the shoulder, the barrel, and the hip. Each one is tricky to draw on it's own since they're all weird shapes, but it's helpful to me to break a horse body down into simpler terms.
Key muscle masses
When I draw horses, I like to emphasis curves vs straights. Horses have that built in naturally as their body is often either "pure muscle" or "pure bone". There's some really nice details at the intersections of body parts, like at the front elbow and behind the ears along the neck (aka the "poll") where there's highly definable muscle groups that can help with visual clarity.
Fun fact, young horses grow hip-first. The horse in the photo above is 8 years old. That same horse at 4 years is below. Cracks me up how much taller his hip was at the time.
Ok so the muscles on the front legs combined with the shoulder mass is a fave combo of mine. The shoulder mass itself is something that I've found that is particularly horse-ish. For me, it's a pretty big visual signifier - almost more important than the neck. You can show a lot of tension/action in the body with the shoulder depending how you simplify it. Horses use their shoulders A LOT (too much if you ask any dressage rider or reiner), so emphasizing the shoulder can make a horse more expressive.
Legs. Oh heavens, the legs.
Yeah ok so again, Hultgren goes into fantastic detail on legs and hooves (I still follow how he simplifies hooves to this day my gosh that guy is a genius), but I often break them down like this for quick sketching. Are horse's legs realistically this emphasized? No, but I like the visual language; believable but expressive. This can apply to any size/shape from arabians to drafts.
And finally...
A few head details -
Overall horses have SO many variables. The fun part about that is that they're highly customizable and able to be endlessly stylized. The tough part is that they're hard to draw strictly because of all of the little things to keep track of to make sure the horse reads as "horse".
And so because third time's the charm, Ken Hultgren's Art of Animal Drawing really is one of the best I've seen for breaking down, simplifying, and applying horse anatomy to active drawings.
But most of all, the more you draw horses the easier they'll be.
DTIYS entry for maso.pi on instagram. Link to their page + OG Piece. More info/rambling under the cut
Ooo I had a lotta fun on this one. Trish and Mista post-canon is one of my favorite hypothetical dynamics? Following Purple Haze Feedback, on one side we’ve got Mista, whose sort’ve mad at everyone and everything for having Giorno betray him and use his (already heightened) anxieties against him. But he doesn’t really have an outlet for it since he’s still stuck in the mob as Giorno’s right hand man. On the other hand, you’ve got Trish, who, after this whole journey of finding the courage to actively fight against Diavolo instead of hide, once again has her agency taken away from her with Giorno cutting her off from the mob completely and banning her from going to Bruno’s funeral. Whether or not this is the right decision, the important part is she doesn’t have a say in the matter and is brought back to square one. To me, Mista and Trish are both bitter and just need an outlet and sometimes the best outlet is calling your bestie up at 3am to bitch about your boss <3
The idea of them doing Abbacchio’s make-up to cope has been an idea of mine for some time now. It’s something kinda macabre in a sense where you steal a dead guy’s makeup then try to copy how he looked, but they’d also 100% do it in good faith. Mista also keeps Narancia’s lil headband close to him as a good luck charm, hence why it’s around his neck. And for both ideas, the prompt of Trish wearing Mista’s hat gave me a good opportunity to properly do something with it.
Work I made as a DTIYS entry for cri.sis on instagram! Link to their page + OC Piece. More Info + Ramblings Under the Cut
WOOAH this was a lotta work to create! The main rules for the original DTIYS were just to include Giorno’s outfit and the green theme so I took the opportunity to go all out haha. Thought process going into this was to have a lil botanical garden scene a lil bit post canon. Perhaps it’s Giorno’s birthday or they just wanted to have a nice outing together, but either way they’ve found themselves here. I wanted to give everyone alt outfits as well so they could bounce off of Giorno’s energy, though Trish’s is the only one taken from canon. Think this was a good learning experience considering I don’t do perspective and backgrounds that much but it was definetly worth it
Second Artfight Attack I made for soyy’s character Clementine on artfight! Link to their page: https://artfight.net/~soyy
Another Jojo OC that I really enjoyed drawing!! I tried pixel art this time around and I put a lotta work into tiny details and such. Another character who was super fun to draw and try something new with.
Thinking about how Vento Aureo’s OST is so influenced by queer music and how it flabbergasts me every time some dude-bro says that Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure cannot possibly have ANY queer interpretation at all
So,,, I watched the Barbie Movie the other day. The Ken Power Ballad has not left my mind. First movie I’ve seen in a long while that made me wanna watch it again immediately after it was over. As is with anything I get into these days, I had to find a way to incorporated it into Jojo. Plus I was a lil rusty on my anatomy, so I did a quick sketch of Mista with the Kenough Hoodie. I would say Mista would never bring patriarchy to Barbie but idk he prolly would. Zero hesitation, he has the audacity
