More #SpooktoberVNJam concept art! Ninja-like character of the bunch with wings! They are probably the most detailed because of the wings alone ;;

I just want to gush over Kazuki Yone's newest artbook ugh, I love itttt

This makes it my first actual bought artbook from an artist and not just for a series as well!! Without Yone's work in the old version of Hakuoki, I would have never considered being an VN / CG artist so early on 💕

So glad to draw them as adults as well!! Thank you @endysis.bsky.social for commissioning me and entrusting me with your sweethearts again 🏵️

#VGenComm | #artcommission | #TheLastWinterKnight

An illustration of a female and male knight (characters belonging to Endysis from their series "The Last Winter Knight") stand on a battlefield in the sunset, with the woman holding a sword, blood covering her face and armor. The man looks worried down at her, setting a flower into her hair as she stares up at him blushing and holding his arm. It conveys an intimate scene at sunset with a banner and a castle in background.

Thanks for @/NightAsobu for commissioning me! Character design of a (long-haired!!!) vampire priest

#VGenComm | #art | #artcommission | #characterdesign

Commissioned character design piece of a vampire priest, named Lazarus, the Vampire of Penance. His key features are long white hair, pale skin, red eyes with long eyelashes and long black nails. He wears a cross necklace and flagellant whip, along with a see-through veil. The character was designed for the indie game developer NightAsobu for their game, Skin Tailor, a horror fantasy game set in medieval Hungary in an alternate universe where vampires and other supernatural creatures exist.

In the meantime, if you do have a NSFW otome / queer game that I've yet to cover - please do send them to me alongside the social you'd like me to credit. I can't get to everything, but I'll try to showcase what I can.
