Final colors for Reina, a #gencon #kingdomdeath community survivor. Shout out to the Lantern's Reign gang. Gaining more confidence with every new piece. Even if I only bother to make one every few months haha

#inktober day 5 cooked. Finally getting around to my main character 11. Some things I rushed through, but I'll tidy that all up when I revisit it after inkrober to do a proper composed illustration.

#inktober 2025 Day 2. Rushed this one a bit more than yesterdays entry. Wanted to keep the lines looser and get the thing done quicker. Spent entirely too much time detailing the weapon when I knew it would be essentially unnoticed in the end. Oh well.

Last night's color sketch of some eo58 work. Over-rendered it a bit in some spots, leg got that careless airbrush look to it. But all in all a good sketch session

Cant decide if this or the hololive more recently is your best yet. this is probably it, gun to my head.

Love the looseness and freeness of not only the lines but tone work. Great stuff!

Xaqsi @xaqsi.bsky.social · Aug 28

The subtlety is perfect.

Xaqsi @xaqsi.bsky.social · Aug 28

The most recent. It's almost always the most recent. Putting in the work to improve. Daily. Long road.

Since the expansion is now in the wilds, it's safe for me to post this now!

I drew a special piece of pixel art for Kingdom Death's new release "Wanderer - Aeneas," a project I've been blessed to collaborate for.

You can preorder the expansion here:
