#portfolioday Hi, I'm Aleksis, a Finnish-Chinese Illustrator + comics artist, I do anything that catches my fancy, which in this case are historical+fantasy art and 90s anime-inspired art and characters.

My character Moumou in the summer against background somewhat inspired by 80s-90s summer pop album art.

Detail of one of the pages of the comic book I'm working on. ^^

Detalhe de uma página de quadrinhos. Dois quadros mostrando três aventureiros descendo uma escadaria e entrando numa dungeon. Na frente um homem com uma capa preta estilo Batman, um elmo fechado estilo corvo com tubos de respiração como uma máscara de gás saindo das laterais; ele ergue um pingente com uma joia brilhante que ilumina o caminho. Atrás dele seguem dois irmãos: uma mulher portando uma espada e escudo e um homem levando um arco e flechas. A parede ao fundo mostra uma cena em relevo ilustrando uma batalha entre dois guerreiros alienígenas emunhando macuahuitl (armas astecas semelhantes a espadas de madeira com discos cortantes de obsidiana); esses dois guerreiros alienígenas lutam contra algo como um wyrvern com face tentacular.

this Eco Fighters cover/poster art is one of my all time favorites, but I'm really having a bad time actually finding who painted it, maybe i'm looking in the wrong places, does anyone know?

It's like the ultimate closing of the Hideaki Anno circle. www.zimmerit.moe/evangelion-u...

Fly Me to M-78: The Evangelion-Ultraman Connection

When discussing Evangelion, Western fandom ignores the fact that its esteemed auteur, Hideaki Anno, is a total goddamn dork for tokusatsu. Specifically, Ultraman.

The best parts of the Black manga is mainly the general twist & ideas it has, plus the ending, but it never quite reaches the same highs as OG.

Black Swan Ace (1/4)

a short #comic pilot to test the waters with this new character & story concept, 'cause I got into horror, pulp stuff & Showa aesthetics #art

pg. 1

Lan O. :
"I want you to think about dead trees. To you and me, they’re exactly as is. Just sitting there, in the wild, slowly decaying, and nothing more. But beneath the surface, it teems with life that You cannot see, eating away at its insides, slowly changing the husk from within...
Now suppose, that the same applies to any places people aren’t looking at. Not just in nature, but everything around us... Cities, houses, rooms... There are 6 billion people, with more places filled up each day. More walls... more corners... more places away from direct sight... Places that can hide anything, and before you know it, become something else it wasn’t before.

So suppose once again, when you turn your eyes away..."

pg. 2
Lan O. :

... How would you know, what is happening behind you?

pg. 3

Introduction:
Inokawa Luke (age 17) - Straight-A Student/Part-time shelf-stacker
Method-Master Lán O. (age 17) - Detective/"Part-time" student

LUKE: "No."
LAN: "No? No?!"

LUKE: "Yes, hell no. My shift ends at seven. We talked about this, Lán! I’m not gallivanting around on another case until the term is over."

LAN: "Gallivanting?" Rubbish! You would choose to abandon this responsibility?! Forsake Your duty, LUKE, to your fellow man, to aid in these desperate of times? just to pack shelves all night?
LUKE: "I hate it when she talks like that..."

LUKE: "Yes, and maybe pass my A-levels too! We have tests tomorrow! YOU have tests tomorrow!"

pg. 4

LUKE: "To put in your terms, maybe us common clay need to work twice as hard because we gotta live with half of what you take for granted. Sorry, but some of us are not privileged enough to be born with genius brains and live on the easy street like you are...
... or afford to throw my life on your amateur hobby sleuthing."
LUKE (thinking to himself): ("No no no you idiot! stop talking! You are going to upset her you dolt, Why do you always do this?!")

LAN: "Fine! Forget it! I will go alone!"

LAN: "If I don’t come back tomorrow, you will know what happened."
LUKE: "I- You are not gonna die, LAN..."

LUKE (thinking to himself): ("She might, she might, she might…
#@€%&# damn it...")

This is going to sound weird, but this is genuinely why I’m a firm believer that Cybermen should have visible human hands & eyes like in The Tenth Planet

A horrifying constant reminder that there is someone under that suit; someone who’s had everything that made them human ripped from them

A husk.

artwork of the character Jane Doe from the video game Zenless Zone Zero. she leans forward with a smug facial expression, pointing at the viewer with her right hand while her left is held behind her back. her tail curls around the backs of her legs, the tip moving upwards to hover near her right hand.

I had read Kid Eastwood #27 without any prior knowledge of what it was, and it was very enjoyable and excellent read! One of the highlights of that day

Felt like this combo of One Piece and cool Cartoon Network shows, and carries those parts really well.

I've only known of Bleach in theory but I think I could prob get along with Rukia Likers

CSarracenian @ COMMISSIONS CLOSED @sarracenian.bsky.social · 2d

It adds genuinely a lot to the character and the comedy that she can speak Chinese decently
