(2025) OC art I did for @clownfetti.bsky.social on #ArtFight.

Xochi guiding the dead to their eternal rest. Xochi is ClowntyHunter's #DnD cleric to Kelemvor, god of death.

Art style is inspired by ukiyo-e artist Takato Yamamoto (R18 content warning for his work).

(2023) Goatsucker

The nightjar hangs close to the sheep to suckle milk. In turn the sheep eagerly awaits the night, and her nightjar's whisper of newfound secrets.

Closeup of my art style challenge No. 11, inspired by Takato Yamamoto. His art fuses Japanese ukiyo-e with gothic art (R18 content warning for his work).

Featuring my OCs Adlai Tiernan and Zephaniah Will.

(2023) Passing Along a Treat

Art style challenge No. 12 with my OCs Adlai Tiernan and Zephaniah Will.

Inspired by the art style of #StudioGhibli. #Ghibli contrasts simple character design with its detailed worlds, so this piece was 90% background painting lol.

Aw, thanks! I’d been doing some art style studies with my OCs, and I decided to go all the way and make full compositions out of them too.

I have some more Kaneko-style pieces that I’ll eventually get around to posting on Bluesky, too 🤭

Closeup of my 2nd art style study inspired by Kazuma Kaneko, the OG artist for Persona and Shin Megami Tensei.

Kaneko is primarily known for his 'gothic doll' style: porcelain skin, lower eyelashes, and black upper lips.

Bonus character sheets.

Seeing how Kaneko goes hard with his character designs, I added blood to Adlai's cut horns. I also exaggerated the size of her horns and curls, to give her a distinct silhouette.

As for Zephaniah, I simplified her design in favor of readability.

(2023) Sunlight is the Best Disinfectant

Art style challenge No. 8 with my judge OC Adlai Tiernan.

Inspired by the art style of Alphonse Mucha. While #Mucha painted realism in The Slav Epic, I went for the look of his iconic art nouveau posters.

(2023) L'acquiescement

Art style challenge No. 6 with my OCs Adlai Tiernan and Zephaniah Will.

Inspired by 1800s artist William Bouguereau. Bouguereau likes to paint women being 'assailed' by cherubs, but I might have switched up the roles here...

Bonus art process for my "Look Up" illustration, inspired by Ruan Jia.

Given the unsettling feel of Ruan Jia's work, I went for a gothic, God-fearing mood.

(2023) Look Up

Art style challenge No. 7 with my judge OC Adlai Tiernan.

Art style is inspired by Guild Wars/HALO concept artist Ruan Jia. He paints most areas in limited silvery hues, which contrasts sharply with his intense neons.

(2022) Pacisci

Art style challenge No. 5 with my OC Adlai Tiernan.

As Tiernan is a pacifist, she is cutting her horns (her natural weapons) in an act symbolizing that.

Inspired by the gothic art style of Castlevania artist Ayami Kojima.

(2025) Contradictions

My main OC Judge Tiernan and my new dragon OC, Cruel Existence.

His dueling heads of fire and ice represent all the moral contradictions with the world, and he wants you to know it (and despair!).
