Nemesis summing up where I'm at rn with redoing/designing this GUI from scratch
next time I'm gonna do a placeholder til the very end so I don't waste time (well, it's my first game, I'm learning)
not mad at it but gahdamn this is gonna be a lot of work
this is just a mockup still, too 🥲
a mockup of a visual novel screen with two people talking -- a blonde woman in armor and a creature made of static. "Nemesis" is saying, in the dialogue box, "Fuck graphic design."

boy this has been a "trust the process" piece cuz when I blocked in the colors/shapes (on the left) I was like damn there's no way I'll be able to make something of this lol (and it did need a Lot of tweaking)

not quite done yet but I'm not mad at how it's going

A screenshot of the same piece of art next to each other in two stages of completion: the left, very rough, and the right, much more complete. The art is a rendered portrait of a person with dark blue skin and light blue hair in a bob cut. They are staring disconcertingly at the viewer.

Workin' on some of the last assets for the Nemesis VN and I wasn't sure how I wanted to represent a specific effect. This was a reject but it's super fun so here have it anyway!

a wip of a blood-colored static being with eight purple eyes and a twisty neon green thing at their core.

I'm dying at the glowup.
Left: July 2022, right, Jan 2026.
Left took me... literally months to finish. (and I was so proud of it at the time.)
Right was done at 1am in an hour.

Keep practicing, folks. Don't give up. You'll get there.

(esp with that nose. Rendering anime-inspired illustrations realistically is. a trial 😭)

Ilya underwent a redesign and here’s his current incarnation. I need to let it sit to see how I feel about it but pretty happy with it so far! Probably the most flamboyant character I’ve ever designed, but it fits his annoying ass lol

Thinking about doing JJK pins for 2027 as a non-Metacosm side thing. Theme might be biblically accurate main cast but I love the half and half designs a lot. Hmm, decisions.

Merry Christmas for those who celebrate and happy Thursday to those who don’t! Here’s a sneak peek of something I’ve been working on. (Been drawing some pretty nice hands lately if I do say so myself)

Yes hello I am vibrating to announce The Fractured Balance was nominated for the Indie Ink Awards!! Really looking to nab that ND award since I really threw my whole autistic ass into Pheonix and his (literal) Justice complex.

This week has been awful but I managed to scrape up enough energy to at least do this! 2025 was sure ... something. I, weirdly enough, did more art this year than I have in many. And I think my faces/rendering got better. So that's cool 😁

#art #2025ArtSummary
A graphic of N. Soleil's 2025 art summary showing 13 different pieces -- one for each month of the year and a 'masterpiece of the year.' The characters drawn range from Jujutsu Kaisen fanart to original characters.

Y’know how people are like “oh this painting is in the ugly stage”? This piece was in the ugly stage for 90% of the time I was working on it 🫠 Liquefy tool, my beloved, saved my ass.

ISO (human, no AI, never) #GraphicDesigner!

halp.

Info is in my best frog-attempt at graphics! Can give examples of what I'm after re: the posts themselves, theme, and what kind of lore will be included. Serious inquires only!

#ISO #paid
A terrible black and white graphic with comic sans text that reads: ISO human graphic designer hopefully to partner with for many future (paid) projects. halp me design some metacosm lore stuff I am drowning here. Dark sci-fi/cyberpunk visual theme, either a PSD with movable unique elements or several templates I can plug info into, final graphics will be a mix of text, text + image, and image-heavy. Click for terrible sketch examples. A terrible sketch example of a rough layout titled "Lawblades" with several placeholder images and text boxes. A terrible sketch example of a rough layout titled "Angelic Horns" with several placeholder images and text boxes.
