Just a guy who draws

A belated Valentine’s day drawing! And you know what that means? My yearly drawing of my ships! And in this case, my one and only crack ship (so far), Solaire and Lucatiel of Dark Souls fame!

Does it make sense in a timeline perspective? No.

Am I in it for the Broody Girl and Bright and Sunny Boy dynamic? HECK YEAH!

They’re also very physical companions who are with you for most of the game!

...

Plus I can see Solaire as being very caring to Lucatiel and remind her everyday how special she is as a person.

So... I reached 1000 followers. I gotta say, I never thought I’d see the day. I just wanted to say thank you so much everyone. I’m honestly a bit overwhelmed right now, and don’t really know what to say besides thank you all so much!

So I made a commemoration pic that focus’ on my first and current hyperfixations, that being Dark Souls and the Owl House.

I had a LOT of nostalgia while drawing this. It was nice drawing Solaire again!

I’m also on Instagram and Twitter ! Support me on Ko-Fi! as well!

A Dark Souls 3 related Commission, featuring @akitymh​‘s OC, Hanna about to make a choice.

What’s this?? I’m posting Dark Souls fan art after how long? IMPOSSIBLE!

But seriously, it was fun to do! I drew these as warm-ups during work.

And yeah... I shipped them. I’ve shipped them since I became acquainted with the fandom. It’s also interesting how much my style has changed over the years!

Why you say? Well...

1. They're your most frequent companions in both games.

2. Contrasting personalities, but ultimately good people. Heck, I love Broody x Optimist couples in general!

3. Stong lad and strong lass. They'd make a kickass power couple.

4. Solaire's sheer uncompromising brightness would help uplift Lucatiel's otherwise cynical nature. Likewise, if Bro-laire ever gets even the slightest hint of despair, I'm pretty sure Lucatiel would try her damnest not have this beacon of optimism suffer the same fate as she's going through.

5. Sun Motif (Astora) and Moon Motif (Mirrah).

Also... an excuse of me to draw a headcanon I’ve had of Lucatiel for a while now... She is buff. I mean... have you seen how big her sword is? Like... damn. Solaire’s no slouch either, he’s a tanky beast after all.

I may actually complete one of these for Valentine’s Day.

It’s almost Valentine’s! And yet I have not made any art for my ships... Which was supposed to be the entire point of February xD... But alas Life got in the way!

I might as well start off with some sketches of my OTP for my current game obsession, Don’t Starve!

I dunno, from the trailers, the promos for DST as well as the oodles of fanart and fanfics for them, Willowson has grown on me to become my favorite Don’t Starve ship!

Another doodle I did at work.

...

Look I don’t even know I thought short-legged Dark Souls animals would be funny :’)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 2018 everyone!

I hope you all are having a great day.

After one year after this piece, I thought it’d be great to do a remake. My style of drawing humans has changed quite a bit over the year. Plus, after attending a comic book workshop, I decided it was high-time I go back to my roots and ink traditionally... Featuring some fancy new brushes I got!

So, regarding changes to the characters, here’s what I did: - Gave Ornstein an even bigger sense of cockiness

- Made Smough more down-to-earth, and harsher, but also less cartoony

-Sulyvahn is now even more treelike... and a bit more mishapen

-Aldrich is now fully transitioning into blob monster, like his black goop is gonna burst any time soon

- Raime, more Gabriel Reyes, less angular-ness

- Velstadt... Not much has changed. Tried to make him kinder looking, but also a bit more aged... Ended up looking a hybrid Thanos and Captain Diomedes xD

- Lothric, a personal challenge to make him look more soft

- Lorian is now more proportional I believe.

Work doodle. After working on storyboards (and watching references for said boards), I just felt like doodling something for fun.

So hear, have Puppy Sif and Baby Midir... chasing a Crystal Lizard

Finally got to complete the first half of this piece for the Flame Endures AU. Set in a world where the First Flame still endures, Nameless successfully rebels and overthrows Gwyn, as Gwyn’s own megalomania and increasingly tyrannical tendencies becomes too intolerable (with no First Flame to limit Gwyn’s ambitions).

He rules a United Lordran that incorporates both Anor Londo and Izalith, via a Political Marriage set up, ironically, by Gwyn himself. As Nameless is the Heir to the Lightning, Gwyn thought it’d be most appropriate to tie his son to one of daughters of the Witch of Izalith. Quelana was chosen, as Gwyn thought that the combination of The Heir to the Lightning and The Mother of Pyromancy would be too good to let slip.

His plan worked... and blew up spectacularly in his face.

As a result of NK’s victory (here is refered to as Gwyntaran), dragons, gods and humans live in (relative) harmony. Of course, there are still those who stick to the old ways, and many who will never forgive him for allying himself with the dragons and ousting his own father, meaning a large portion of the original army of Silver Knights and other warriors departed rather than serve the ‘usurper’.

On the other hand, he still has the Storm King and Ornstein, who this time sided with NK as Gwyn’s flaws became more pronounced. And so, as NK’s first Knight and oldest friend, he sided with the son against the father. The Leo Knight now has the job being head of the royal guard and the overall commander of the armed forces.

Since he incorporates humans to his kingdom, he also finds a new source of recruits for the army... including a band of knights dedicated to jolly cooperation...

The second half will focus on Gwyndolin

Stress relief drawing! Played a lot of Don’t Starve (to pass the time after work)... And I noticed both Don’t Starve and Dark Souls have the same initials and amounts of dying... Yeah this happened.

I was commissioned by @gravelordynito to do a tattoo design with Darkeater Midir :).

One colored version, and another just in black and white.

Request from @knightinshiningundies Oscar of Astora vs Prince Ricard doing a “Anything You can do I can do better!” bout.

The Dragons of Dark Souls: A Tribute

Finally completed this beast in celebration of Dark Souls Remastered’s Release! 

Art Note: I changed Seath’s position from bottom to the top (seen here), as I wanted to parallel Seath’s introduction in the opening cinematic... as well as wanting to deal with all that negative space.

And now, for a jolly good explanation as to why I love the dragons of Dark Souls so much!

First and foremost, I love that each dragon has its own unique look at silhouette, where there designs alone tell a story or tells something about their powers. And all of them exhude a feeling of scale and power in different ways, Midir’s Size, Tattered Wings and Lazer Breath vs Kalameet’s sleeker, but iconic Black-and-Red motifs... And his middle eye.

Meanwhile, Seath for me is also a standout example of fantastic creature design. He’s a legless, scaleless pale dragon, who has tentacles instead of feat, with insectoid wings. THAT’S something you don’t see often in dragon designs. It works in-universe as well, as it just SCREAMS “different”.

As a fan of monsters and dragons, I always can look at the Souls Series for amazing dragon designs (and not to mention memorable boss fights as a result). Thank you FromSoft, for giving us such wonderful beasts!

Line Art for my tribute to the Souls series, specifically it’s dragons.

Originally I was going to wait until I was finished with the colored version, but I enjoyed working on the lineart so much, I thought I’d share it with you guys as well :).

One of my current Souls-related WIP, in anticipation of Dark Souls remastered. This time paying tribute to the dragons of the souls series.

For @ascertabus , who wanted me to draw Yorshka and Priscilla in the rain, singing a Pat Benatar song, while using their respective weapons as mics. I chose the song Promises in the Dark, because I thought it was really good, particulary the note at the 2:41 mark.
