I participated in the #CafeDot 2026 game jam for my first game jam!

My contribution was to make a few character assets for this murder mystery visual novel from @budder28.bsky.social and @lordofgeckos.bsky.social 🥚.

#gamejam #gameart #characterdesign
Character design for Francesca Fettuccini, a pasta-themed chef with hair of strands of fettuccine. She is curvy in build with a round face, a sharp nose, and prominent lips with red lipstick. She wears a white chef's uniform with red accents, dark pants, embroidered tan shoes, and a short, floppy white toque. Her outfit is tied together with a red scarf in the shape of a large bow around her shoulders. She stands with an aloof posture, with legs close together, one arm raised to her shoulders, and the other arm concealed behind her back. Her face is angled away and she glances out of the corners of her eyes. She is depicted with three expressions: a distant smile, a wary glance, and a dissatisfied pout. Character design for Jacques Pfifferling, a chef themed after a chanterelle mushroom. He is tall and lanky with fluffy blonde hair and thin facial hair. He wears a simple white chef's uniform with a mustard-colored ascot, dark pants, brown shoes, and a comically tall white toque. He stands in a jaunty lean with his left hand in his pant pocket, his right arm raised in a dismissive hand gesture, his head arrogantly tilted upwards, and one leg crossed in front of the other. He is depicted with three expressions: a smug grin, a charming smile, and an angry scowl. Character design for Kari Bell, a starfruit-themed chef with spiky yellow hair that resembles the shape of a star. They have a shorter build, a sharp face, and broad shoulders. They wear a white chef's uniform with green and yellow accents, dark pants, steel-toed boots, and a white toque. They stand with their arms crossed, their head down, and their gaze looking upwards. They are depicted with three expressions: a scowl, a sullen glare, and a mean smirk. The smirk and scowl avoid eye contact. Character design for Sunni Benedict, an egg detective who wears a deerstalker cap and inverness cape in the style of Sherlock Holmes. He sports a curly moustache and smokes a pipe while squinting thoughtfully.

Another Street Fighter raccoon commission, but this time it's of JP in one of his alt-outfit color schemes.

#art #sf6 #streetfighter #jp #raccoon
A raccoon with greying fur and a white beard stands upright, one arm behind his back, the other arm brandishing a golden scepter. The raccoon is wearing JP's costume 2, with a purple fedora, teal suit, pink jacket, and purple scarf. The ensemble is intricately embroidered and adorned with shiny buttons and a bolo tie. The head of the scepter he holds is in the shape of a sitting raccoon, and it shines with purple psycho power sparks. The raccoon holds his head high in the air with an expression of aloof disdain.

I never shared this one by itself so here it it now!

A commissioned piece of Hygeia and Panacea, Greek Goddesses of good health and universal cures (respectively)🐍

#art #illustration #greekmythology
Illustration of two women dressed in luxurious ancient Greek clothing. One stands and hold holds a bundle of grapes aloft, while the other reaches to offer the first woman a glowing goblet. A large snake wraps itself around the bodies of both women, linking them together. In the background there are many decorative patterns representing Greek architecture and motifs. One motif, resembling a shield, frames the arm of the woman standing. The two women are meant to represent the mythological figures of Hygeia and Panacea, with Hygeia standing and declining Panacea's offering of her eponymous elixir.

Made-Up Places

#photography #streetphotography
A flat shot of a seaside boardwalk, facing the ocean. Small green islands can be seen on the horizon. In the foreground, two trees grow from the boardwalk, one angled towards the other in a gentle lean. Beneath their green shade, two bright orange chairs sit empty, looking outwards to the water. A flat shot of a colorfully decorated corrugated-iron wall, wooden trellis, and fence. A red-date tree is painted on the side of the wall. Numerous plants and bonsai are growing along the base. Above the wall, succulent plants are growing from colorful hangers fashioned from old tires. A night scene showing a dark street intersection from the view of a high-up window. The streets are shrouded in darkness save for a small area illuminated by a street lamp and a dull neon street sign nearby it. The great distance of the photographer from the street itself makes the scene seem small and unreal. A close-up shot of a architectural model building depicting a hall area with rows of seats, an upward-leading staircase, and rows of doors over two stories in the background. Colorful paper cutouts depicting people are interspersed throughout the scene. Some are sitting and conversing, some are conversing with or gesturing to one another, others are walking about en route to some unknown destination. The close perspective frames these paper cutouts in a lifelike manner, as the viewer inhabits the same space as them.

Liminal Spaces

#photography #architecture #streetphotography
An upwards-facing view of a geodesic glass dome. A black cylinder reaches upwards towards the ceiling, where a green orb is suspended. A faint reflection of the room can be seen on the dome's surface. The gently curving white wall supporting the dome is decorated by an opaque black square on the left, while shadows cast by the dome criss-cross its right. Upwards-facing view of a brightly lit, open-air stairwell. The walls are painted a vibrant orange and an unconventional, dramatic perspective makes the stairwell features seem incoherent and abstract. The underside of curving stair steps can be seen near the top of the shot, a white-framed square window underneath. A lamp protrudes from a left wall that ends in a balcony bordered by metal guardrails. The right wall has a stone base and a pattern-inscribed face that reaches indefinitely upwards. Two levels of a completely empty highway road, seen from above. The road curves gently from the lower left to the upper right of the frame. The higher level of the road, at the the top of the frame, is painted with yellow lines and white arrows pointing in a leftwards direction. The lower level of the highway, partially obscured by shadow, is painted with traffic instructions and rightward-facing arrows. The walls of a blue and yellow apartment building form upwards-rising parallel lines against the backdrop of a blue sky. Layers of balconies from one wall cast 45 degree shadows on another wall, creating an interesting patterned effect. A man stands and smokes on one of the lower balconies. His shadow does not appear on the other wall, but the shadow of a houseplant on the level above him does.

Just some oc with goose
#art #oc #ocart
An elven woman with medium-length dark hair looks towards the viewer while gesturing enthusiastically towards a white goose standing on top of a dark-red vase. The elf is wearing a monastic style sleeveless blue shirt. Her face is tattooed and scarred, but she is smiling here. She stands in front of an abstract background consisting of a patterned frame and branch/leaf motifs.

Final stretch of #ArtFight portraits for @ghostietea.bsky.social 's magical girl Sacha, @kurogalaxy14.bsky.social 's assassin Kira, and @vadimsunbear.bsky.social 's huntress Lily!

#art #oc #artfight2025
A portrait of Sacha, a girl with wavy dark hair, cut short. She wears a purple dancer's outfit and a black hear earring. Normally outwardly cheerful, here she is looking off to the side with an expression of melancholic contemplation. She is framed in a circle with a blue anemone at the bottom. A portrait of Kira, an assassin. He has short, straight black hair that ends in messy strands. He has a notable scar over his right eye, but most of his face is obscured by a black face mask. He wears dark leather armor and is glancing over to the side with a cold, hard look. A portrait of Lily, a huntress with vulpine ancestry and features. She has long, straight, dark hair styles with short front bangs and long side ones. She has long vulpine ears with dark fur and a scarred right eye. She is wearing a metal breastplate over a padded coat, and appears to be glancing at the camera out of the side of her eyes as if she were sizing someone up.

#ArtFight attack on @skyestuff.bsky.social 's gull griffon Polaris! Polaris has a couple of different forms but I tried to draw him in guy formation🍟

#art #oc #artfight2025
An anthro ring-billed gull griffon with light bluish markings, a large ear piercing containing a greenish jewel, and a french fry in his bill (positioned like a cigarette). He is wearing a black jacket and a grey graphic T-shirt with the words "Lettuce Farm" written on it. He looks into the camera with a cool-guy smirk and poses with one hand in a crooked peace gesture. An anthro ring-billed gull griffon with light bluish markings and a large ear piercing containing a greenish jewel. He is wearing a black jacket, a grey graphic T-shirt with the words "Lettuce Farm" written on it, and a black cowboy hat. He is posed holding a box of french fries in each hand while he screams with his bill wide open, french fries falling out. He appears as a giant spectral vision over a desert landscape in a manner that references the viral music video for Kirin J. Callinan's "Big Enough".

#ArtFight revenge for Jasmo from the Cafe Dot art discord! I drew their mermaid Talia swimming amidst a school of fish 🐟

#art #oc #artfight2025
A school of fish swims by with glowing yellow eyes shining through dimly lit green seawaters. Amongst them is a mermaid with greyish skin, blue fins, blue gills, and large, dark green eyes. As the mermaid swims by, she turns and makes eye contact for a brief moment before being obscured by the fish that she swims alongside.

#ArtFight revenge against @psephrain8.bsky.social 's cryptid-hunter (and daytime veterinarian) Sybil Harlowe.

#art #oc #artfight2025
A pale-skinned woman with red contact lenses, dark lipstick and eyeliner, and a beauty mark high on her right cheek. She has long, straight hair worn with neat bangs in the front. Half of her hair is colored a bright pink, while the other half is black. She wears a wide-brimmed back hat adorned with a red ribbon, and a dark studded choker around her neck. She is dressed in a brown trenchcoat over a pink shirt, short black skirt, and fishnet leggings. One of her arms brandishes a silver cane, while the other holds her dumbo rat Avocado close to her face. The background consists of a yellow and white starburst pattern and a black nameplate with the woman's name, Sybil Harlowe, displayed in that one font that the Yakuza games like to use :)

#ArtFight portraits for @saltynametag.bsky.social 's space pirate Skip Intro, @gryffoon.bsky.social 's mechanical angel Empyreal, @spiritcrowart.bsky.social 's gryphon Modesty, and @cmykristyart.bsky.social 's wyvern rider Perry.

#art #oc #artfight2025
Skip Intro, a Corellian space pirate. A woman with curly dark hair tied in a ponytail. She wears dark eyeliner and lipstick, square earrings, and a grey cape with a fur collar. She winks and smiles as she produces a blaster from underneath her cape. Empyreal, a great mechanical angel created under circumstances at the limit of human understanding. A pale being with dark eyes, ornate forehead and cheekbone decorations, curved horns extending horizontally from the sides of its head, and long, flowing white hair. Two pairs of angelic wings extend from its head, one large set from the sides, and one smaller pair from the back of the head that bend upwards to form a halo. The entity turns to look at the viewer with an expression that conveys acknowledgement but little else that can be clearly interpreted. Modesty, an immortal demigod gryphon. He has the features of a gryfalcon (bird parts) and a maine coon (cat parts), with a yellow, raptor-like beak and pale plumage with dark stripes. He has distinctive bits of fluff at the end of his ears, and dark markings above his eyes that resemble thick eyebrows. He glances warily at the viewer with an expression of faint annoyance. Perry, protector of a timeless citadel along with his lifetime wyvern companion, Malchior. A man with short, light-colored hair dyed red at the front. He sports a short beard and wears ornate armor of crimson and black that is styled to resemble the frills and scales of his wyvern companion. A silver necklace hangs in front of his breastplate, and his gaze is directed away from the viewer as he regards something in the distance with a quiet determination.

I drew some of my characters wearing a few of my irl outfits on a whim after seeing someone else do the same thing. I kind of think they're cute.

#oc #sketch #art
A tall wood-elf with dark hair tied in a large bun and long bangs hanging off the sides of her head and a burn scar on the left side of her face. She is wearing a pink button-down shirt with the lowermost button undone along with a pair of denim shorts and light brown loafers. She stands in a relaxed, forward-facing position with her hands in her pockets, but her gaze is averted and distant. ALSO PICTURED, a red-skinned tiefling with yellow irises, a short bob-haircut, curled horns similar to those of a ram, golden scales on their cheeks and brows, and a silver nose-ring. They are wearing a close-fitting light green Tshirt with a open navy blue shirt-jacket on top. They are also wearing a pair of light grey jogging pants and black-and-white sneakers. They are posed with their profile facing the viewer as if in the middle of taking a step, while they make eye-contact out of the side of their head with a cheerful expression. Also, they have a tail that is a live snake. It it also making eye-contact with the viewer.

#art #oc #artfight2025
A small froglike creature sits atop the head of a blue-haired tiefling woman. The tiefling looks up at the creature with an expression of joy while raising her hands palm-up. The background consists of a yellow crescent moon motif on a navy blue background. Gold lines and light blue halftones radiate outward from the center of the composition, and the top of the picture shines with stars and sparkles. A golden crown symbol hovers above the frog creature's regal head.

Hello #PortfolioDay I am Shu, and I mainly do character design with a focus on stuff for games and 2D animation. I also build Harmony rigs, illustrate, and animate!

I am interested in helping people out with their game and animation projects.

#art #gamedev #animation
Illustration of two women dressed in luxurious ancient Greek clothing. One stands and hold holds a bundle of grapes aloft, while the other reaches to offer the first woman a glowing goblet. A large snake wraps itself around the bodies of both women, linking them together. In the background there are many decorative patterns representing Greek architecture and motifs. The women are meant to represent the mythological figures of Hygeia and Panacea. Illustration of a woman in a thick fur cape, gazing upon a ruby. The background is a complex geometric one with a sundial that frames the woman's face. Golden rays radiate outward from the sundial, dividing up what appears to be a swirling sky full of stars. In the bottom half of the image, areas cast in shadow by the woman's large cape also appear to glitter with stars. Portrait of a large, imposing man with a wide grin that is equal parts ferocious and playful. He has messy dark hair tied into a ponytail, a curly moustache, and a thick beard. He is dressed in a black armor that is decorated by many biological motifs. The pauldrons have a chitinous texture and appear to be rimmed with bone. The breastplate contains elements that resemble teeth and musculature, and in the center sits a large red eye. Character turnaround for a beleaguered sovereign. He is a small, frail, and tired-looking man. His clothes are plain except for an opulent red robe with fur linings. He wears a comically oversized and very heavy-looking crown that is beset with large jewels. The character is shown from 5 different angles, and additional references are provided for the character's underclothes and bare head.

Mazu Barenda, wood-elf elemental monk. She has medium-length dark hair tied in a bob with side bangs that frame her face. He looks far off to the side, exposing a large burn scar that crosses the left side of her face. Her forehead and right cheek are marked with monastic tattoos. She wears robes decorated with beads, metal discs, and ocean wave motifs. Alainne Coster, draconic bloodline tiefling sorceress. A red tiefling with curved goat horns, yellow pupils, black sclera, and golden-yellow scales on their cheeks and brows. They have straight, black, shoulder length hair, a portion of which is tied into a small ponytail. They are wearing a lamellar cuirass over a loose teal turtleneck shirt. They have a yellow bandana tied loosely around their neck, and have a simple silver nose ring piercing. Their expression is equal parts inquisitive and mischievous. Mamil Carillo Arriaga, half-orc open hand monk. His skins is a medium gray tone with reddish accents, and he is bald with a short brown goatee. His brow is furrowed and four tusks protrude from his closed mouth, bending the llps into a mild frown, and his eyes are contemplative. A plain gold piercing decorates his left earlobe, and he wears a simple but well-made shepherd's outfit with a brown coat, red vest, and plain shirt.

I did more character portraits, this time for some discord art friend OCs.

Characters belong to myself, @hobocufflinks.bsky.social, @whiteswordmoon.bsky.social, and others.

#art #oc #dnd
The Entrepreneur, an intrepid young woman with dark brown hair worn in a short bob. She wears a bright red beret, a light blue tunic, and a gaudy red robe with large puffed sleeves and a fur collar. Her expression is inquisitive and friendly, but faintly unhinged. A take on Hobocufflinks' Loki inspired character. He is a young man with sharp features and long, dark hair that ends in a long braid at the right side of his head. He wears a fine green tunic with a brown vest and a thick fur collar, and sports decorative silver adornments and piercings. His eyes are accentuated by dark eyeliner and his mouth is twisted into a wide sneer. Cirella, Whiteswordmoon's tiefling ranger. A light blue tiefling with upward-pointing horns and hair tied short with distinctive tufts near the ears. She is wearing a dark collared shirt decorated with white embroidery. Her eyes are golden with black sclera, and she is glancing over her shoulder with an expression of ethereal calm. Gareth Ironmane, a character from a Discord acquaintance. A middle-aged half-elf with short brown hair that curls at the front. He has solid, squarish face, a short beard, and a scar running across his left cheek. He wears leather armor over chainmail with padded sleeves and bright blue gemstone earrings. His gaze seems distant and melancholic, as if he is reflecting upon his tragic old man yaoi backstory.
