A big part of what makes Kow Yokoyama’s photos of his models great is that he shoots them like they’re cryptids.

The Mighty Nien - Menagerie Coast

This is probably my most popular piece of Mighty Nien artwork and I have this piece in particular to thank for allowing me to do official work for Critical Role.

Began as an armour study, but started thinking about how to use it as starting point for other costuming.

Got it in my head to attempt drawing a mech. Not in my comfort zone at all but it's fun.

My assignment for Winona Nelson's SmArtschool class: Choose a favorite book and illustrate a cover for it.

I picked "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller, and my goal was to capture a similar bittersweet tone as the novel has.

One of my favorites! The Pilots outfit is also so good. Very happy with the design for this one.

Vague iconography across the mech is loosely inspired by the markings from Castle in the Sky. Might revisit this one again in the future...

I really like how this one turned out, the heels were a really fun design choice for the feet (hate drawing mech feet). Started trying some asymmetrical paint jobs, to confuse visual sensors and data.
