Triple Digimon

The heat here in AZ is really wearing me down. Mixed with the physical labor of my day job I’ve been coming home exhausted and really just feel like crashing on the bed and playing the switch. So it’s a little hard to sit down at the computer and work.

Well here’s a few more belated art works, all centered around Digimon. Yes, Digimon was my bread and butter as a child, and it’s kinda that special thing from childhood that I continue to invest in as an adult, similar to Power Rangers or Pokemon to others.

So we got my two favorite Digidestined, Tai Kamiya and Rika Nonaka putting the throttle on Digivolution. We also got one of my favorite villains Puppetmon, which is actually a remake of piece I did MANY years ago. This is kinda meant more to represent Puppetmon as he was in the original Japanese version of Adventure 1. While the American dub kinda portrayed Puppetmon as a somewhat goofy, yet still lonely, villain, the Japanese version was far darker. The original portrayal of Puppetmon was more like a sadistic psychopath with the mentality of a child. He loved playing rather dangerous games with his prey, such as a game of war with real guns, and relished in drawing out their suffering. He was also prong to temper tantrums and was more than willing to kill his own minions if they upset him, making him a somewhat more scary threat to be around.

MermAy 2024

Long time no upload. This may was kinda getting hyped for Fan-Fusion and working on other illustrations that I haven’t had a chance to upload. So it’s time for some major super pack uploads. So here’s the art for Mer-May 2024. Didn’t really have much planned this past month so I pulled out two quick ideas involving She-Ra and Ariel. Also there’s a crossover involving Amber and the Gill-Man (Creature from the Black Lagoon). This originally meant to be Amber’s piece for last years Halloween Draw Off, but it was passed on one because of time constraints and it kinda clashed with the all the other drawings cause it was more silly than scary. Also the joke doesn’t have much relevance to the actual Creature of the Black Lagoon film and I felt it was just kinda a desperate grab for the Halloween season and I kinda felt I’d get bored with it and just rush through to get to the others. Still it was kinda a cute idea, so I decided to save it for Mer-May.

Luigi’s Mansion

A little spur of the moment based on a old game I love. While I haven’t always been a fan of the Mario World in general, though my opinion has changed very recently, I have always loved Luigi. Mainly this is due to the video game series Luigi’s Mansion in which the little coward is facing his worst fears in order to save his captured brother Mario.

In particular the original Luigi’s Mansion has a special place in my heart as it was a launch title on the Game Cube, and I got both the system and the game on Christmas Day 2001. Every time I turn on the game and see the title screen I’m flashed back to the Christmas Day when I first played the game on our first new game system in years.

This is kinda a little darker and more mature take on the game, hence why I’ve tried to make Luigi a little more proportionally correct and the Boo more fierce.

Extraterroresstrial alien encounter

For those Disney park fans this might be a little familiar. So this is vicious alien from the now closed attraction ExtraTERROResstrial Alien Encounter. It’s widely considered to be scariest attraction Disney has ever made, as it was sit down theater ride that encloaked the audience in total darkness and used binary sound and special effects to simulate this vicious beast moving about the room. It was so intense that there were warning signs all around the the attraction warning it might be too intense for younger children.

These signs however didn’t stop the attraction from gaining notoriety as being too scary and it was shut down after only eight years. It was later replaced with Stitch’s Great Escape which quickly became an unpopular attraction that closed itself, leaving the theater at Magic Kingdom currently deserted. While I never rode the attraction myself, I do remember seeing it when I went to Disneyworld back in 2000. I was only ten years old then and I was scared to go on many rides, so of course the signs chased me away. I’ve since kinda become fascinated by the attraction cause I’ve grown up to be a horror lover and really just eat up anything scary. Though I admit I’m not a fan of haunted house attractions just cause I don’t like people jumping out at me.

Kalwa Japanese Festival

This was a little piece I designed for my studio featuring Kalwa, Zack, and Reko enjoying a Japanese festival with many other characters they’ve met along the way. Group shots like these can be a little nerve racking as I feel I can get tunnel vision and get a tad sloppy. Still I think it’s a real pretty piece.

Izzy Snake Dance (again)

I haven’t drawn dear old Izzy from Total Drama in a while. Everytime I draw her it’s always in the hypnotic rattlesnake dance pose. It’s just a fun pose play with and all you can do with it. This time I wanted to put emphasis on the hypnotic nature of the dance with a couple of wild effects to build on it.

Evil Belos

New Illustration of Belos, the main villain from the Owl House. Just wanted to draw him in a really dark and menacing way just cause I was in the mood. Kinda putting some emphasis on his genocidal plans.

The Phantom

Took a shot at drawing Lee Falk’s famous character the Phantom. I’ve kinda become a fan of the character quietly since reading finding books of the old comic strips in a second hand book store. Kinda got a little nervous and fussy over the the physique of the character. I was also trying to get a but of wrinkles from the suit in there, the whole time I was using my Phantom figure from NECA that sits on my desk.

Kohaku POV Beach

New Kohaku POV, this time for the beach. Once again these pictures are meant to be from the perspective of the viewer who is on a date with Kohaku from Dr. Stone. Got more planned for the future so they will be on their way.
