Original Characters

of markers and endeavors

and also scary new wordpress editors Well I would say in the last few weeks I have officially begun getting the hang of my new alcohol markers…but the problem I have discovered today is that my poor old flatbed scanner is not. a. fan.  I never knew that losing saturation would be a problem for me […]

marker drawings of old people

July 24, 2018October 9, 2018 z.m. celestaire  Art!, Myoku Needs a Tag, Nikkei  Leave a comment

And by old, of course, I mean my old-ass Nikkei characters. Last night as I was sketching out ideas for full digital drawings, I suddenly decided to draw Myoku and Nikkei together. Then, I went on Amazon and bought a huge set of alcohol-based Copic marker knockoffs for $40. So I purposely held out on […]

So recently when I got super cranky about social plans changing on me at the last minute, I decided I wanted to draw a dragon lady. The idea ended up evolving into a full-scale, a bit risque dragon lady digital painting. I worked on it over the course of 4 days or so after I […]

sing-songy valentines drawings

Yet again, some 4 years later, I somehow ended up accidentally using Lee and Lucy for a Valentine’s drawing. Probably regret Levi’s hat. He’s not a hat kind of guy apparently. Not that it looks bad, it just makes him look so un-Levi-like. I fucking love both their cute little faces. And Lucienne’s glorious thick […]

dumb fairy

I’ve been in a slump lately so this morning I forced myself to sit down and draw. So I colored this shitty fairy.

myoku: master of the shadows

Earlier this week I was looking at some spotlight on “then and now” drawings that a blog posted. It made a super big deal about how cool those transformations were for these innovative artists who wanted to showcase their progress. And, being in a bit of a dry spell lately, I thought that would be […]

I’m annoyed because I decided the image is finished but I can’t redo the My Mental Breakdown layout till I’m off work on Thursday.  But anyway, here’s the Solveig Fire picture all shaded up.

Ugh this has taken me like six hours so far and it’s not done, so I need some kind of closure for the night. Here’s my WIP. My crazy ass decided to make an elaborate drawing of EVERYONE! Solveig, Lucy, Nikkei, Andrew, Micah, Ashlyn (and Pippin, being scared), Noeli, Siv, Rowan, Cirrus, Danny, Ingrid and […]

i do believe in new beginnings

I am thrilled to be able to add a new Emotia drawing to my ongoing series! This series is and always has been an evolution of self. It’s shown so many wildly different selves that began in July of 2014, two and a half years ago. Since then, I feel like I’ve gone through so […]

only one

lol so I’m a bit embarrassed but I’m going to write about my entire thought process behind this drawing anyway. This is not only not my first drawing of this color palette, but it’s not my first sad Myoku drawing, and it’s also not my first featuring Fall Out Boy lyrics. But like, I love […]
