Portrait of Manji from Blade of the Immortal (Mugen no Jūnin).
Traditional Indian ink drawing, based on a panel from Hiroaki Samura’s manga.

One of my favorite manga series of all time.

Sylvanas Windrunner
A pencil drawing finished with colored pencils and a light digital polish.
I went for a softer look — hood down, 3/4 pose, slight smile, white background.

Full piece below. Thanks for checking it out!

New on CoolJapan.es, a deep dive with anime director Naomi Nakayama (in Spanish). From action & shōnen to delicate character dramas, she talks about her vision, process and ambitions. Great read for any anime lover.

New artwork: Morrigan (Dragon Age).
Tried to capture her sharp presence and witchy mystique.
Really proud of how she turned out. ✦

Pencil drawing of Morrigan from Dragon Age. Morrigan has pale skin and dark hair tied back, with loose strands framing her face. She wears her iconic outfit with layered fabrics and feathers. Her expression is calm, confident, and slightly enigmatic.

Etching study of Catiua Pavel based on her official Tactics Ogre illustration by Akihiko Yoshida.

Handmade printmaking — no AI, just line, metal and ink.
Really enjoyed translating the original design into an etching.

Rei Ayanami — Early Digital Vector Piece

Sharing a remaster of one of my first digital works.
The pose was inspired by a fanart I found years ago — still hoping to rediscover the artist so I can credit them.

Lineart study — Floki (Gustaf Skarsgård) from Vikings.
Traditional ink, no AI, just hand + pen + obsession with clean lines.
His stillness in this scene is so striking I had to draw it.

Hand-drawn ink lineart of Floki from the TV series Vikings. He is resting, holding a small woodworking tool in his right hand. The drawing is made only with clean, confident black lines, emphasizing his sharp features, beard, and intense eyes.

Happy Anniversary to Xenogears (PS1)! 🎂🎉

Released in North America on this day in 1998, this masterpiece from Square pushed storytelling, philosophy, and music to new heights. It's still one of the most unforgettable RPGs ever made!

Ten years ago, when The Witcher 3 launched, I grabbed my pencils and ink to draw Geralt — the White Wolf, caught between dusk and steel.

Still proud of this old sketch. 🐺

I agree, and I hope they remake it. I just wish they do it the right way.

If the rumor is true that the upcoming HALO reveal will be a full remake of the original game...

Honestly? I'm 100% on board.

HALO is on life support. It could inject new interest into the franchise and if they keep the soul of it intact, it might save it.

I think it's the right call.

She sat in her bag, staring right at us with the funniest look. Stole the show instantly! 🥹💕
