Beg. Good luck negotiating with Yao 😁.

?: I've taken your loved ones hostage!
Yao: If they were incompetent enough to be kidnapped, I don't need them 🤣.

?: F-fine, then I'll unleash this deadly poison you created!
Yao: That toy project? I deployed the antidote while you were talking 😂.

Full color digital art illustration with a detailed background (actually a comic page) from my Out of Memory webcomic. It is a dark fantasy and horror comic (with a tiny slice of sci-fi) about a pacifistic warrior and his journey to find the truth about his family. The drawing depicts the morally ambiguous character "Yaoshe Baiqiao" (aka. "Yao") sitting leisurely in a traditional Chinese-style room. He is an influential politician and schemer who appears to be allied with the main protagonist. He is an elegant bishie (pretty boy) who appears to be in his late twenties or early thirties, with long, curly medium purple hair that extends past his shoulders and pink eyes with white pupils. He is wearing an elaborate red and purple outfit that resembles traditional Chinese hanfu and is holding a pipe that is shaped like a serpent's head in his right hand. Yao’s outfit is extremely expensive and is decorated with a good amount of gold and gemstones. His boots and sash are especially elaborate and have large, teardrop-shaped rubies embedded in them. Yao has an enigmatic smile on his face. A large wisp of pink smoke can be seen emanating from the mouth of the pipe. Created using Clip Studio Paint.

A warrior with reality-warping powers, Xinyi is a pacifist who sees violence as a last resort. Yao, on the other hand, is a charming and manipulative prince who can be ruthless towards his enemies. Xinyi and Yao have a complex relationship that departs from the standard hero - villain dynamic. Illustration of the Ardiente Royal Palace, an intricate white castle that sits at the pinnacle of Heap. From the Out of Memory - Prologue. Princess Sheng Feng is shown falling from a great height, as the building she was hiding in is shown crumbling in the background. The brooch she wears at her waist emits a powerful light. Shortly after, a small white phoenix emerges from the brooch, and Sheng Feng reaches desperately for her. The phoenix grabs onto the back of Sheng Feng's collar, breaking her fall.

Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for doing this 💕! Would love to join if there's still room~

I'm thankful to everyone who engages with me / my art, and especially the people who leave comments and critiques, my comic wouldn't be nearly as good without you ❤️.

(Will tag in a comment~)
Character profile / illustration from my Out of Memory comic. It features several major characters, paired with their enemy and/or rival. The top row feature “Makoto Kurosawa” / Zhen Xinyi and “Yaoshe Baiqiao.” Makoto is a man who appears to be in his twenties. He has blue hair and light blue-purple eyes, and is wearing a black sleeveless top with a hood. He is smiling and appears to be beckoning the viewer. A crow is sitting on his left shoulder, giving the audience a side-eye. “Yao” is a pale man who appears to be the same age as Makoto. He has wavy purple hair and pink eyes with white pupils. He is wearing a dark red outfit that resembles a Chinese hanfu, and is wearing gold claws on his right hand. A large, purple serpent is shown behind him. The second row features "Gyoku Kurosawa" / Jade Scorpion and a villain whose name hasn’t been revealed. Gyoku is a dark-skinned man with wavy white hair and jade-green eyes with a ring around each pupil. He is wearing a black sleeveless top with gold trim and fancy shoulder-length gloves. Pinned to his cloak is a fancy, green and gold brooch that resembles a scorpion. He is looking to the side and appears downcast. The villain is a light-skinned man with black, pupil-less eyes and crimson hair tied in a ponytail. He's wearing a white blazer with gold trim and black faux fur. He is looking over his shoulder towards Gyoku (off-screen) and sports an ominous grin. The third row features Aisling Jespersen and Alba Ardiente, the main characters of the Heap Arc.

The two characters are lying in a lotus pond, with Makoto lying on the surface and Yao being partially submerged. Makoto is wearing light fantasy armor with a subtle crow theme. He’s covering part of his face with his left hand, and a single tear is streaming down his face. Yao is wearing a regal black robe that resembles traditional Chinese attire. He is wearing snake-themed jewelry and light shoulder armor. He has an unreadable smile on his face, and his gaze is turned towards Makoto. From the Out of Memory - Prologue.

Xinyi doesn't trust anyone and will only divulge enough information to gain the other party's cooperation 😅.

Ironically his closest ally is one of the main villains (Yao), who is his mentor and informant.

Thank you for hosting, Happy Thanksgiving 💕!

I want to thank everyone who reads and engages with my comic (especially commenters!). Drawing a series is HARD, especially when I can only share a tiny fraction of my pages here 💜.

The deck is several stories above ground, as the sky and the upper branches of a tree are all that’s visible through the open windows. In one of the panels, crows are shown flying in the sky. Makoto is sitting at a wooden table. Both the table and the bench he’s sitting on have matching hand-carved decorations. He’s holding a teacup in his gloved right hand, and his left hand is partially hidden by the objects on the table. On top of the table is teapot and a plate of what seems to resemble real-life rice balls. His long bangs are covering his eyes, hiding most of his expression. Makoto is wearing a fantasy version of traditional East Asian attire. Even if his outfit were drawn in full color, it would all be different shades of black and white. The collar of his outfit covers most of his neck and ends just below his chin. His long, white cape starts at the base of the collar and extends almost all the way to the ground. Since Makoto is sitting, a good portion of the cape is tucked away and to the side. Dialog: ???: Makoto. Heap is in imminent danger of being overrun. Makoto: I see. From the Out of Memory - Prologue. Princess Sheng Feng is shown falling from a great height, as the building she was hiding in is shown crumbling in the background. The brooch she wears at her waist emits a powerful light. Shortly after, a small white phoenix emerges from the brooch, and Sheng Feng reaches desperately for her. The phoenix grabs onto the back of Sheng Feng's collar, breaking her fall.

Yao’s outfit is extremely expensive and is decorated with a good amount of gold and gemstones. His boots and sash are especially elaborate and have large, teardrop-shaped rubies embedded in them. Yao has an enigmatic smile on his face. A large wisp of pink smoke can be seen emanating from the mouth of the pipe. Created using Clip Studio Paint. Cover for Out of Memory - Chapter 5. It features Makoto Kurosawa (real name: Zhen Xinyi) sitting in a well-lit deck with Chinese-style windows, enjoying afternoon tea and snacks. The deck is several stories above ground, as the sky and the upper branches of a tree are all that’s visible through the open windows. In one of the panels, crows are shown flying in the sky. Makoto is sitting at a wooden table. Both the table and the bench he’s sitting on have matching hand-carved decorations. He’s holding a teacup in his gloved right hand, and his left hand is partially hidden by the objects on the table. On top of the table is teapot and a plate of what seems to resemble real-life rice balls. His long bangs are covering his eyes, hiding most of his expression. Makoto is wearing a fantasy version of traditional East Asian attire. Even if his outfit were drawn in full color, it would all be different shades of black and white. The collar of his outfit covers most of his neck and ends just below his chin. His long, white cape starts at the base of the collar and extends almost all the way to the ground. Since Makoto is sitting, a good portion of the cape is tucked away and to the side. Dialog: ???: Makoto. Heap is in imminent danger of being overrun. Makoto: I see. From the Out of Memory - Prologue. Princess Sheng Feng is shown falling from a great height, as the building she was hiding in is shown crumbling in the background. The brooch she wears at her waist emits a powerful light. Shortly after, a small white phoenix emerges from the brooch, and Sheng Feng reaches desperately for her. The phoenix grabs onto the back of Sheng Feng's collar, breaking her fall. They turn to face a large Chinese-style house, which has ominous wisps of smoke emanating from it. Illustration of the Ardiente Royal Palace, an intricate white castle that sits at the pinnacle of Heap.

Thanks for hosting! I'm blue and I draw a dark fantasy/horror comic (with a dash of sci-fi) called Out of Memory. I enjoy designing and writing good-looking but problematic OCs xD.

Full color digital art illustration with a detailed background (actually a comic page) from my Out of Memory webcomic. It is a dark fantasy and horror comic (with a tiny slice of sci-fi) about a pacifistic warrior and his journey to find the truth about his family. The drawing depicts the morally ambiguous character "Yaoshe Baiqiao" (aka. "Yao") sitting leisurely in a traditional Chinese-style room. He is an influential politician and schemer who appears to be allied with the main protagonist. He is an elegant bishie (pretty boy) who appears to be in his late twenties or early thirties, with long, curly medium purple hair that extends past his shoulders and pink eyes with white pupils. He is wearing an elaborate red and purple outfit that resembles traditional Chinese hanfu and is holding a pipe that is shaped like a serpent's head in his right hand. Yao’s outfit is extremely expensive and is decorated with a good amount of gold and gemstones. His boots and sash are especially elaborate and have large, teardrop-shaped rubies embedded in them. Yao has an enigmatic smile on his face. A large wisp of pink smoke can be seen emanating from the mouth of the pipe. Created using Clip Studio Paint. Character profile / illustration from my Out of Memory comic. It features several major characters, paired with their enemy and/or rival. The top row feature “Makoto Kurosawa” / Zhen Xinyi and “Yaoshe Baiqiao.” Makoto is a man who appears to be in his twenties. He has blue hair and light blue-purple eyes, and is wearing a black sleeveless top with a hood. He is smiling and appears to be beckoning the viewer. A crow is sitting on his left shoulder, giving the audience a side-eye. “Yao” is a pale man who appears to be the same age as Makoto. He has wavy purple hair and pink eyes with white pupils. He is wearing a dark red outfit that resembles a Chinese hanfu, and is wearing gold claws on his right hand. A large, purple serpent is shown behind him. The second row features "Gyoku Kurosawa" / Jade Scorpion and a villain whose name hasn’t been revealed. Gyoku is a dark-skinned man with wavy white hair and jade-green eyes with a ring around each pupil. He is wearing a black sleeveless top with gold trim and fancy shoulder-length gloves. Pinned to his cloak is a fancy, green and gold brooch that resembles a scorpion. He is looking to the side and appears downcast. The villain is a light-skinned man with black, pupil-less eyes and crimson hair tied in a ponytail. He's wearing a white blazer with gold trim and black faux fur. He is looking over his shoulder towards Gyoku (off-screen) and sports an ominous grin. The third row features Aisling Jespersen and Alba Ardiente, the main characters of the Heap Arc. Aisling is a young woman with short, wavy white hair and pink, pupil-less eyes. She is wearing a dark red winter outfit with a white cape, and is angrily glaring at Alba. She has her right hand on his shoulder. Alba Ardiente is a dark-skinned young man with brown wavy hair tied in a low side ponytail. He has orange eyes with white, flame-shaped pupils. He is wearing a white, gold-trimmed coat with a cape. Alba is looking back at Aisling and is smiling slyly. Cover for Out of Memory - Chapter 5.

I'd pick a more recent design, but I don't have a color scheme for it yet 😆. Here's Yumi, a warrior / knight from my comic. Her armor design and palette is inspired by hornets~
Illustration of Imperial Princess Yumi Kurosawa (弓 黒澤, meaning "bow black marsh"), an original character from my Out of Memory story. She is an attractive blond woman who appears to be in her early thirties, with pink eyes and her hair tied up in a braid. She is wearing a full suit of gold armor, with red and black accents - her spear has the same color scheme as her armor. She has a confident smile on her face, and is standing on a fallen pillar among sunken ruins.

Additionally, he is wearing a ornate purple sash and elaborate, gold-trimmed boots. He is wearing two gold bangles on his right hand and has a gold claw on each finger. He is holding a jeweled, gold and purple pipe that's shaped like the head of a serpent.

WIP. After three years I finally I get to draw a chapter that has massive lore drops...and my top priority is to make this guy look as hot as possible 🤣.

Work in progress sketch / line art for a page in my Out of Memory webcomic. It features a young man summoning a winged suit of armor. He has dark green eyes and long, wavy hair with that's parted asymmetrically above his left eye. His right eye is covered by his long bangs. There is a lightning-like effect coming out of both eyes, signifying that he is using his Instance (what superpowers are called in my verse). He is wearing golden vambraces with a large, diamond-shaped gemstone embedded in the center and two smaller gems on each side. He's also wearing a cloak that covers his neck and shoulders. The cloak has a cutout that resembles a keyhole. The armor has four wings on each side, and appears as though it is emerging from behind the young man. Three of the wings are short, metallic-looking, and around arm's length, the fourth wing is about the height of a human. The helmet is intricate and has three diamond-shaped gems embedded where the eyes and forehead would be. It also includes multi-layered shoulder guards and gauntlets with large gemstones embedded in the forearm, elbow, and upper arms. OOM is an original dark fantasy, horror, and sci-fi comic with a lot of action, drama, politics, and suspense. It features a cast of realistically flawed characters fighting against corrupt politicians with superpowers, eldritch abominations, and of course, each other. The comic is available to read on Tapas, DeviantArt, and Cara. Drawn in Clip Studio Paint.

Fine, I'll list some redeeming qualities too 😆

Patient
Egalitarian
Self-sufficient
Respects nature
Decent leader, looks out for civilians
Keeps other corrupt politicians and criminals in check

Why is this guy a villain again 🤣

You want just *one* red flag? 🤣

Vain
Corrupt politician
Expensive taste in clothing

My #ocs already have powers & the way they use them is morally gray overall xD.

For example, Gyoku (Jade Scorpion) uses his to threaten corrupt elites who don't pay their taxes (among other crimes). While he cares about his people, he is willing to get his hands dirty to achieve his goals.

Here's Gyoku (aka. Jade Scorpion), an influential politician / prince who threatens to burn corrupt elites who don't pay their taxes (maybe he's actually incinerated a few, who knows). His palette is inspired by different colors of jade.

Makoto is sitting at a wooden table. Both the table and the bench he’s sitting on have matching hand-carved decorations. He’s holding a teacup in his gloved right hand, and his left hand is partially hidden by the objects on the table. On top of the table is teapot and a plate of what seems to resemble real-life rice balls. His long bangs are covering his eyes, hiding most of his expression. Makoto is wearing a fantasy version of traditional East Asian attire. Even if his outfit were drawn in full color, it would all be different shades of black and white. The collar of his outfit covers most of his neck and ends just below his chin. His long, white cape starts at the base of the collar and extends almost all the way to the ground. Since Makoto is sitting, a good portion of the cape is tucked away and to the side. Dialog: ???: Makoto. Heap is in imminent danger of being overrun. Makoto: I see. From the Out of Memory - Prologue. Princess Sheng Feng is shown falling from a great height, as the building she was hiding in is shown crumbling in the background. The brooch she wears at her waist emits a powerful light. Shortly after, a small white phoenix emerges from the brooch, and Sheng Feng reaches desperately for her. The phoenix grabs onto the back of Sheng Feng's collar, breaking her fall. They turn to face a large Chinese-style house, which has ominous wisps of smoke emanating from it.

Congrats on the milestone! I'm blue and I draw a dark fantasy/horror comic (with a dash of sci-fi) called Out of Memory. I enjoy designing and writing good-looking but problematic OCs xD.

Full color digital art illustration with a detailed background (actually a comic page) from my Out of Memory webcomic. It is a dark fantasy and horror comic (with a tiny slice of sci-fi) about a pacifistic warrior and his journey to find the truth about his family. The drawing depicts the morally ambiguous character "Yaoshe Baiqiao" (aka. "Yao") sitting leisurely in a traditional Chinese-style room. He is an influential politician and schemer who appears to be allied with the main protagonist. He is an elegant bishie (pretty boy) who appears to be in his late twenties or early thirties, with long, curly medium purple hair that extends past his shoulders and pink eyes with white pupils. He is wearing an elaborate red and purple outfit that resembles traditional Chinese hanfu and is holding a pipe that is shaped like a serpent's head in his right hand. Yao’s outfit is extremely expensive and is decorated with a good amount of gold and gemstones. His boots and sash are especially elaborate and have large, teardrop-shaped rubies embedded in them. Yao has an enigmatic smile on his face. A large wisp of pink smoke can be seen emanating from the mouth of the pipe. Created using Clip Studio Paint. Cover for the first volume of my Out of Memory comic. It features Kurosawa Makoto (黒澤 誠, "sincere black marsh") / Zhen Xinyi (真 心意, multiple meanings) and Baiqiao Yaoshe (白橋 妖蛇, “demonic snake of the white bridge”). The two characters are lying in a lotus pond, with Makoto lying on the surface and Yao being partially submerged. Makoto is wearing light fantasy armor with a subtle crow theme. He’s covering part of his face with his left hand, and a single tear is streaming down his face. Yao is wearing a regal black robe that resembles traditional Chinese attire. He is wearing snake-themed jewelry and light shoulder armor. He has an unreadable smile on his face, and his gaze is turned towards Makoto. Cover for Out of Memory - Chapter 5. It features Makoto Kurosawa (real name: Zhen Xinyi) sitting in a well-lit deck with Chinese-style windows, enjoying afternoon tea and snacks.
