I used a lot of "filter shading" for the presents on the floor. Filter Shading is something I do where I use a single color over multiple layers and set the layers to "Multiply". It potentially makes for duller shades, but it's faster.

Also used this pic to thank all the people I met and interacted with on Twitter and JSRL by making ornaments based on them. This is actually the reason why this whole pic was delayed as each chibi ornament was drawn on a separate canvas.

Ended up ringing in the new year with a late pic. I drew my OCs Chelsí Pleinair and Belinda Cauldron in some Christmas outfits.

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community

go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

In the middle of working on Piranha and going to my full-time job. I've been sketching on a notebook during my lunch breaks and a little bit before clocking out for the day. At first it was all with pen. Once I got to Rhapsody, I started bringing a pencil to properly prepare them.

Working on this Piranha pic for THIS FUCKING LONG has me really thinking about investing in 3D models of buildings, just so I don't have to draw shit like this again.

The NAS is now up and running. The Read/Write speeds are good over wired LAN, with Clip Studio Paint loading and saving the Piranha pic's .clip file (w/ timelapse) in under 20 seconds each on desktop. But i can make it faster by adding an SSD under it. I'll likely do that in the near future.
December 9, 2025 at 2:53 AM
Update: I got my NAS, and I'll be using 8TB. I was on vacation for the week, but I'll be setting it up on one of my off days (Mon/Tue). I saw that it can be directly connected to my desktop in my bedroo. But then I'd have to get a wired LAN card to make it happen.
So I gotta transfer the file from desktop to laptop over wifi, then continue there since it'll save normally. But then I gotta transfer it back to the desktop if I decide to be on that for the day.

So I think I might just get a NAS so that I can put projects in there without further fuss.

Okay, I said I'd SHOW why progress is slow on Piranha... but I really can't be assed to go on the comp when coming home from work. I have a drawing laptop along with a drawing desktop workstation. But of course, both need to be on for them to access and share files with each other

The amount of time it's taking me to finish the Piranha pic (especially with work wiping me out when getting home) is telling me one thing: I gotta utilize 3D models more, especially with buildings that detailed. I'll try showing what I mean when I get home later today.
November 20, 2025 at 7:35 PM
So I finished doing the signs, so now I can work on the buildings. As of now, the left side of the buildings have their flat colors. I still have to do the right, center, vehicles, and pavement.

The signs that were too blurry, I'll still use as they appeared in JSR as long as they're further back.
#WIPArtwork Time!

I finished the 2nd Sketch for Piranha's background. But Before I start doing the Flat Colors, I gotta do some of the signs that'll be visible. I'm having some success tracing some of the more legible ones, Like Ken and Mary and Bom Bom.

Israel is now added to the Blocked countries list for the Blue Fish Apartment. Can't stop them from visiting the other galleries, but I can at least tell them to kick rocks from visiting the BFA.

It is done. I'm sorry to my UK peeps. But I gotta block ya'll from the Blue Fish Apartment. You already know I draw NSFW artwork, and I got age gates up for artwork that needs them. But the UK wants me to see your ID, or give it to a 3rd party. I ain't about that life.

Continuing with my OCs for 2021, here's Harriette. Before this, Harriette had only two pics for Easter, and both NSFW. Now, she has a job!

Home of the Nameless Mermaid

Around this time, I was nearly done with building the new BFA website and had some time. So I draw up one of my other OCs, the Nameless Mermaid. It had been 6 years since I drew her.

Sharing The Love ~ Lunar New Year and Valentines Day

After many silly sketches, I did a full render of these two together. I was inspired to do this from a photo by Wakura no Camera.

Oh this schmuck! He took my Belinda Cauldron design from Redbubble and is selling it on his own merch on a different site.

Report this bum!

Remember, I only sell merch on Redbubble and nowhere else. Accept no #ArtThief, no imitations!

Finished shading in Piranha. Now onto the background. I actually did this before shading in Piranha, and it took a lot of trial and error. I booted up the game to get some shots of this section of Shibuya-cho. But it didn't go so swimmingly.

Azuki Pocky - Azuki-tan (Pocky Day 2020)

My final pic for the cursed year, and my only self-started pic that wasn't a commission for the year. The idea to create Azuki-tan came from a co-worker of mine.

Looks like the twitch in my left hand is keeping me from drawing anymore tonight. I'm right handed, use my left hand for my Tartarus V2 for told and functions.

I'm currently (finally!) working on the full render of this now. Did the sketch in 2021.

WIP Artwork ~ The Creation of Piranha (Jet Set Radio)
Another in an overdue list of characters I plan to draw, here’s Piranha from Jet Set Radio. And a rare move, I had to do this digitally after I botched the traditional coloring session.

So I might change up the Back-Art posting since I still have quite a bit to post, and I need a place to just talk about what I'm drawing now, and not constantly subjecting myself to brainbleed over on Shitter.

It's also gotta line up with my Full-time job schedule (when I'm cleared go back)
