My wraparound cover assignment; I did Mario Galaxy! Had a lot of trouble with this one. I want to modify it according to my critique notes.

Listen sometimes a silly for-fun sketch of your blorbo comes out so peak you just gotta put it on your main account. Here's an alien Xeno I designed, very inspired by Rydart's xenomorph Xeno!
#drstone #dcst #fanart #digitalsketch #dcstAU #alienxeno #drxeno #xenohoustonwingfield
A greyscale digital sketch of Xeno from Dr Stone as an alien. He is sitting on his knees with his hands on the ground, looking up at the viewer. He has a spiky black tail curled around the words "ALIEN XENO" in a scratchy font. This design gives Xeno spiked arms, dark claws on his hands and feed, short black antennae, and translucent skin which slightly shows his organs inside.

The results of my character design assignment! I wanted to attempt a challenging layout inspired by Boichi's work. The second image is a two page spread.
#artsona #inkcomic #mangaart #harpycharacter #fantasyart #characterdesign #jackalope #comicart #multipagecomic
A greyscale manga-style comic. A small baby bird harpy is laying in the middle of a forest clearing and is noticed by a jackalope. The baby harpy is loud, and she chirps aimlessly as the jackalope approaches her and sniffs her all over, noticing she has a deformed wing. The jackalope curls up around her and falls asleep. The page fades to black. A double page spread of a manga-style comic. The harpy girl, now a child, yells her jackalope companion's name, "Chip!" Chip wakes up and scratches behind his ear as the harpy descends down her nest and puts on her bag. A wide panel shows them traversing the forest together. She uses a rope and her deformed arm to climb a tree, then picks fruit with her beak and puts it in her bag. It starts to rain, the two head home, and they share the fruit together and watch the rain safely from inside a bush.

For my Multi-Level Fashion Illustration course. Assignment was to redo a fairy/folktale as an accessories advertisement. The Little Red Hen" is the folktale, Devilinspired is the accessories!

I made a fankids AU: here are Xeno and Stan's twin daughters, Clarity and Tenacity, named them after two runner-up names in the 2020 Mars Rover naming competition. Xeno is trans and the one that had them.

They are sitting and looking away from each other. Text above them says "Xeno and Stanley's Twin Girls." Text pointing towards Tenacity says "Tennie, older twin, hair tuft points up." Text pointing towards Clarity says "Clara, younger twin, hair tuft points down." Underneath them, text says, "Tennie Tenacity Diego Snyder-Wingfield and Clara Clarity Francisco Snyder-Wingfield. Xeno and Stanley kept their own last names even after marriage, but their kids inherited both names. Diego is for San Diego, where Stanley was stationed in the marine corps. Francisco is for San Francisco, where Xeno and Stanley revived. Both have Xeno's silver hair and black eyes."

Recent family events have shaken things up. It's gotten me thinking about mortality and fear I have for the people I love. It's far, far harder on others than it has been on me, but I cannot lie and say it has left me unaffected.
#artsona #autobiographicalcomics #bugcharacter #pencilsketch
A sketch of Bug sitting on an unseen prop. She wears a romper and a sweater-jacket. She looks up, worried, arms crossed and a book on one hand, with her tail wrapping around her. She thinks, "It's all ahead of me. All my grief is ahead of me."
