An illustration of Kishiko Bushido, made by DudemanjoVT. Kishiko (an orange haired fox girl with green eyes, wearing a teal patterned jacket over a blue and white ruffled dress) sits perched atop a grey stone wall, backlit by a full moon.

(Re)Introducing my character, Six!
My OC of ~8 years. He doesn't have much of a lore as a lot of my lore-building is being reserved for my project "In Tears", so he's more for personal art now.

A full-body illustration of Joybilance's original character, Six -- A man with blue and black hair in a long wolfcut, a white coat with metallic detailing, a dark blue top, and a grey wetsuit. Gills line the side of his neck and he sports a pair of white glasses. Six appears as though he is floating in midair, one hand poised in a friendly manner as he gives the viewer a bright grin. A design sheet for Joybilance's character, Six. A front and back view of Six's design is displayed, with seperate views of the cuffs of the sleeve, the back of the coat collar, and a profile view of Six's bust to display the gills on his neck.

Happy Thanksgiving, Hightailers!

Writing this as I’m on the way to visit family, but I can’t forget my other family…

Thank you guys for making this community what it is!

I’m super grateful for all the people who look out for me, and have stuck around to support me through my journey!! 🧡
A screenshot of Kishiko Bushido in a 3D train station environment. Kishiko (an orange haired fox girl with green eyes and orange hair) waves enthusiastically from the platform, winking playfully. The sky shows it’s night, but the atmosphere isn’t too dark, and it’s easy to see everything. Bushes grow on the sides of the track, and the station lights glint, illuminating vending machines, a partly filled bike rack, and station seats.

#VGenOpen #commissionsopen #vartist
A promotional post featuring Rime, Joybilance's sona; a girl with short hair, a pale yellow beret, a pale blue coat with a capelet, a silk undercoat, and navy long pants. A yellow flower-like brooch with a tassel hangs on her right chest, and she holds up a pen with her left (our right) gloved hand. On the left is an image of Joybilance's VGen username, with the text "VGen Open!", "25% Discount!", and "sale ends 11/29". The text next to it reads... "I can do... - Digital Paintings - Lined Illustrations - PNGtubers - Outfit/Character Design - Semi-Chibi Characters ...and more!" An illustration featuring Mizuki Akiyama from Project Sekai. Mizuki is the figure in the middle of the composition; their back is facing the viewer while their head is turned sideways, as if glancing away from the mirror in front of them. They have curly pink hair with long sidebangs and a high side ponytail, and their dress is majorly white with layers of black ruffles, a black corset, a portion of a crinoline, ribbons decorating the outermost layer, and a red layer that shows from the openings on the back and rips in the fabric. A rose is perched on the right side of their head, and there seems to be a large blindfold wrapped around their head and obscuring more of the face. Within the mirror, there is another Mizuki completely surrounded in pink that is mostly hidden, but their hand is wrapped tightly with a ribbon. Only their eye shows within the reflection, and they look warily at the viewer. The Mizuki in the foreground is surrounded by dress forms and mannequins, and the mirror glows brightly, keeping the mannequins -- and Mizuki -- completely in view. A portrait, half-body illustration of Kishiko Bushido. Kishiko is a Half Kitsune with orange hair & ears, green eyes, a green dress with rope lining, a blue-and-white underdress with ruffles, and an Inari Key attached to her side with an extra rope. Her arms are raised half-way, conjuring green magical "foxfire" from both hands. The foxfire swirls around her in a fashion almost akin to a magical scarf (as commonly seen in Asian Mythology). The right hand is raised higher than the other, and Kishiko looks directly at the viewer in a confident, determined smile. An illustration of Genie, the mascot of VGen. Genie is a girl with bright green hair, a black beret, a purple sleeveless top with a white capelet, a dark green skirt, and black shoes. She has a green side pouch containing a paintbrush and a sketchbook. One hand is posed in a peace sign, the other reaching out to the viewer; she has a playful expression with her tongue sticking out. The green blob next to Genie is VG; another one of VGen's mascots.

I made these chibi illustrations for Kishiko (kishikobushido.bsky.social) every year as celebration for her anni-birthday --
and in true Genshin form these are stylized as their chibi squares!
This year's with the butterflies came out really successful.

A trade piece with Sacri of their sona Xyir! Their character page had so many great emotional beats that inspired this piece -- I wanted to use a Sunshower as a backdrop to highlight conflicting emotions.

A digital illustration of Sacriheid's sona, Xyir. Xyir sports dark hair with two purple strands on the front of their bangs, a black beret, a dark sweater with large sleeves and decorations of stars and lavenders, plaid pants, delicate glasses, and 3 flower petals on their face. Xyir's eyes are narrowed in frustration as they stare down at their curled hand, a tear streaming down their cheek and the other hand gripping an umbrella. Xyir's surroundings consist of two bridge railings on either side, and large trees looming in the back. Despite there being heavy rain, the sky is bright and the trees glow on the sunlight.

Definitely doing more style replications in the future.

A part of the work I had to do during my VGen closure was re-figuring out this lineart style --
I was struggling with deciding how to color my illustrations without overpowering the details in the lineart, but I think I now have a good balance of both!

A digitally-painted illustration of Joybilance's original character, Six Song. He is a man with black and blue hair, thin glasses, gills on his neck, a white coat with metal cuffs and a waistband, a dark blue top, and a wetsuit underneath. The scene is set with bright, summer vibes, with a bright sky and clouds. The water comes just up to his waist, and he seems to draw power from the water in his right (our left) hand. He greets us in a pleased, calm smile.

FOR: Miaki
Another VGen sample! This was a more open-ended request, so there was a lot of exploration before coming up with this staff-parasol fusion! For the aesthetics of the character this came out very lovely.

---

#propdesign #conceptart #vartist #vgen
A design sheet for Miaki, depicting a short staff. The title on the top reads "Miaki's Parasol Staff". The staff itself features angel wing motifs and has 2 ruffled ribbons with small wing charms on its side, as well as a tassel hanging below the handle. The user is able to summon a canopy akin to an actual parasol, except it is in the shape of two angel wings curled into each other. The side panels include front and side views of the staff, a size comparison with Miaki, full views of the tassel and wing charms, a full view of the wing canopy, and two sketches featuring Miaki using the staff in 2 different ways; one for magic and one for defense. A design sheet that shows off the process behind designing Miaki's parasol-staff. The sheet includes initial concept sketches for a staff, a sword, and battle fans, rough sketches of the parasol itself, more refined sketches of staves and prasol handles, and color tests of the final sketch.

A screenshot of a large brooch. It has a flower-like shape, and on the center is a Korean Maedeup -- specifically the Dongsimgyeol Maedeup. Hanging from the brooch is a simple Norigae, with a charm in the same floral-like shape as the brooch. The tassel itself is a pale blue. A screenshot of a simple Norigae hanging from a button. The tassel and the charm above it is a pale blue. A screenshot of a Norigae hanging from a hole. The Maedeup -- known as an Angyeong Maedeup -- is a pale cyan and the tassel below it has a dark blue gradient. A bead hangs in the middle between the Maedeup and the Norigae. A screenshot of a large Norigae, hanging from two cords. Above the tassel and the Maedeup -- the Angyeong Maedeup -- is a dark-blue-and-silver charm that looks like a Lilypad. The Maedeup is a pale cyan and the tassel below it has a dark blue gradient. On the side of the tassel is a small charm that resembles a teardrop.
