[Major spoilers for The World Ends With You; do not go further to avoid them] Description starts here: A digital illustration featuring Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu from the video game The World Ends With You, in his true form as Shibuya's Composer. He appears in the age the artist interprets him being, which is around his mid-30s. He wears an expression that's somewhere between placid and amused. His hand is outstretched as it calls down what appears to be a miniature moon, surrounded in flame-like energy. The moon is close to approaching the ground. He looks over his shoulder, and his back is turned to the viewer. Two emblems are visible, one below the haori's collar and the other on the back of its sleeve. These design of these emblems is a combination of the Shibuya seal in real life and a paulownia design. Lastly, his whole body appears to emit wisp-like extensions of itself. One of these appears to form a crown above his head.

leg leg leg leg time baby

#oc • #ocsky • #sketch • #doodle
Four drawings of graydemesne's character Leg in red ink on paper, along with decorative elements. Three out of four drawings feature Leg in a specific outfit. (A jacket worn in a way that shows off their shoulders; a spaghetti-strapped crop top; baggy, low-waist pants that gather at the bottom; and sneakers.) To the far left is a close up of Leg in the outfit, in a more detailed style. The drawing next to it is in a simplified, cartoon-y style, pulling back to show more of the outfit. The third drawing is a loosely scribbled chibi head of Leg in their Tamaraw kemonomimi form/design. The last, to the far right, shows off the whole outfit, in a simple style.

#wip
A work in progress by graydemesne, in Procreate. What is shown on screen is a zoomed-in sketch of a character as seen from the back, who wears a haori and seems to have a mist-like substance emanating from them. Due to the zoom, the character's face is obscured, showing only a single, long lock of hair in the way of a distinguishing feature. The reference window shows a close-up of another part of the same sketch, this time of the character's hand.

He wears a self-assured expression on both busts.

some old (hah) twewy art i still kinda dig

(also this is a nearly 20 year old game but like. bazonga spoilers if you squint or read the alt text. idk man just play the game it’s a good game)
#twewy #throwbackthursday #sanaehanekoma #joshuakiryu #yoshiyakiryu
A digital illustration featuring, from left to right, Sanae Hanekoma and Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu from the video game The World Ends With You. Both characters are drawn in a chibi-like style. Hanekoma wears a cat-like expression, and is holding up a hand in a peace sign. Joshua is “tuned up”; in other words, he appears as old he actually is (as interpreted by the artist, who interprets him as a man in his mid-30s). He looks amused, and his form seems to fluctuate a bit, as if his body is glitching in and out of existence.

A digital illustration of graydemesne's character Joe, who wears an expression halfway between amused and self-assured. Their hair is styled in locs that shift from their natural black to a bright, royal blue. They also wear a pair of red-orange tinted glasses, as well as a neck scarf in a matching color. The scarf has a thin-striped pattern.
