A while back there was an art meme/trend going around on Bsky and I threw my hat in while secretly resolving to draw something in return for anything I received (up until I made the reveal and posted the surprise, of course).

Here's the stuff I made for the sweet folks who replied with their creations for me.

First we have the quickie busts I made for the littler sketches I got, including Socks, Angel, Fiona, Dal and Lynn.

And here are the more detailed busts I made for folks who made more detailed pieces. In order, we have Melly Moona, Melody, Rain, Pommy, Pockets, and Tagaziel.

These were a lot of fun to make, especially in return for pieces of giftart.

Thanks to my friend Crow gifting me the DLC, I recently picked up Sin Kiske in Guilty Gear Strive to main, both for some variety as well as options for counterplay.

After running some especially fun sets last night, I felt inspired to make something, and given that I'd drawn Chocolate as my first main Nagoriyuki, years ago, this felt like the logical next step.

Sin is.. a simple boy, with barely a malicious bone in his body. When referencing his character art I paid special attention to his blank, dumb, but absolutely sincere smile as an important feature to carry over. With how this made me feel, I realized how much "naive bunny idiot wielding a flag" just vibes with me; more than I expected it to.

Drawing myself this way made me realize I'd very much like to better embody that energy; "Think Less, Smile More."

Also, that I didn't think I'd get so much out of some rough cosplay art.

Possibly the most vanilla of all the prompts thus far, Roleplay, Masturbation & Grinding, and Fluids. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but fairly unusual for me. The latter two terms were "Supplementary" as per the modifier cards played, which means that Roleplay was largely the sole focus of this piece. I genuinely considered making this one a sort of joke piece given the main term, but maybe next time.

Remma's having some fun with you, riding in your lap with a buzzy toy sandwiched between her crotch and yours. A little bit of cardio is good for your health, don't you know!

Anyone who's followed my work or watched my streams for any amount of time will likely know that I'm a huge fan of the Metal Slug series.

A while back, I noted the idea of drawing my OCs as members of the game's crew, and here they are; just a quick little project to fill in some time and keeping myself in practice while feeling low on motivation between things.

Choco always looks like a different character without glasses on and I love Ruby's glee at wielding her massive-ass handcannon. It was also super fun to dust off Isaac and Yas again after a longish hiatus from drawing them.

A few months back I made this sketch depicting Chocolate and Soul Choco as Nagoriyuki and Eddy from the Guilty Gear universe. Sigma then took the sketch and made the coloured version below as practice.

Redesigning the mask to fit Choco's rabbit features and tweaking Soul's appearance to mimic Eddy's were both fun exercises, and I think Sigma did an excellent job of bringing my rather loose gestural sketch to the next level.

A nice little smorgasbord of cushy foxes to be had from Wolfie's latest stream, as well as a bit of stylistic experimentation too.

Started out with a little warmup sketching of the dynamic duo; stopped at just the sketch before moving on to the first drawing on the task list, but I came back to give it a splash of colour. Quite the unusual thing to see in a batch of art from me; everything in this post is actually coloured and there's even a bit of shading in the final piece!

Wolfie had a pretty straightforward request for me to start out with, although the posing needed a little forethought to make it work properly. After I got it done, I thought a little narrative contrast would be fun to play around with, so I remade the scene with just a single change.

At least, a single change before the next, impending and unavoidable one of course.

With Halloween right around the corner, a little bit of cosplay and spookiness was due.

Having been primed into becoming a furry by Disney's Robin Hood, I wasn't about to shy away from a chance to draw a little fox giving props where it's due. The costume's also perfect for showing off what a cushy little fox he is, which is always a plus.

And although the original idea wasn't really meant to be so moody, I figured that a bit of contrast for the glowy bits would help highlight the main focus of the last piece I worked on for the night.
