True artists will draw with whatever they have available. Artistic ability doesn't come from the tools—it comes from the PASSION.
Screenshot of a dialog from Granblue Fantasy between an artistic prisoner and a guard. Paleta: "Hey, can I have my backpack? Or at least my brush and my sketchbook?" Guard: "You're a prisoner right now. We can't have you drawing." Paleta: "Whaaa!" Guard: "No whaaa-ing either!" In his cell, Paleta drops to a crouch and sees a small rock by his feet. He picks it up and begins scritching on the wall. Guard: "Wow... How do you draw like that with just a rock?" Paleta: "Using a rock has its own advantages. It gives a texture that's different from a brush. That can be fun too!"

Karteira (Granblue Fantasy)
カルテイラ（グランブルーファンタジー）

I swanny, this is the first time I've ever drawn proper art of her. Low-key one of my faves.

Enyo (Granblue Fantasy)
エニュオ（グランブルーファンタジー）

I like how the GW boss buffs with Reflect first so whenever I try to remove its buffs, Enyo KOs herself when her skill procs. 🙃

All comm types are open again! Continually getting pressured to move out, so I'm going to be advertising these more frequently.

Shares are helpful too! Thank you.

Daisy (Super Mario)
デイジー（スーパーマリオ）

I saw this art and just had to draw my own take. Love the design of maid Daisy here. Added a color alt with her normal dress color.

Quote your art with glasses on!

Incidentally I have drawn quite a few characters with glasses over the years, so here's some of my favorites.

Mejiro Ryan (Umamusume)

It came to me in a dream.

Colored bust of Mejiro Ryan wearing Fuji Kiseki's clothes. Both characters are from Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Microsoft Windows often disappoints me, but this window always lifts my spirits. Text: メジロライアン Mejiro Ryan KageRyu798 十一月 2025

Konne (My OC)
コーン（オリキャラ）

New OC! Well I've had her a short while, but this is the first formal concept art of her. She was designed for some Game Maker projects I've been dabbling in.

#kageryuart #kageryuoc
Colored doodle of Konne, one of my original characters. She is a sword wielder with a very simple outfit design with a red-and-black color scheme.

I mean I guess the bunny Aliza from last year wasn't bad, but I'm mostly talking about these two from 2021 and 2023 respectively:
Colored thigh-up art of Aliza from Granblue Fantasy with awkwardly smooth novice shading and a very wonky facial structure. Drawn in 2021. Flat-colored full-body art of Aliza from Granblue Fantasy in her water alt appearance. The line art is nicely detailed, though the facial structure still looks a bit off. Drawn in 2023.

Rough Doodle commission. There is not enough sexy Bastet art out there, so I am very happy to contribute.

Colored thigh-up doodle of Bastet from Granblue Fantasy in her summer summon attire. She is posed in a playfully seductive dakimakura-style composition, with an accompanying white cloth background. Text: バステト Bastet Thanks for the commission! KageRyu798 十一月 2025

Aria (@paroro.bsky.social's OC)

Haven't drawn her in a while so here she is again. She really should be more careful walking around ink floors!

#kageryuart
Colored waist-up of Aria, one of Paroro's OCs. She has slipped on the floor and landed on her tush, with one of her two-scoop choco mint and vanilla ice cream scoops having slipped off the cone and landing in her lap, but not before bouncing off her voluminous chest. It has left quite the sticky mess, so much that one wrong crop could create a very misleading picture. The janitor can be seen cleaning up the inky floor behind a very clear warning sign, but alas, it was too late for her. Whoops! Text: KageRyu798 十一月 2025

Mako doing the tights trend...

WITHOUT THE TIGHTS.

(She is now eligible to enter the Salty Spitoon, but is still not allowed to for entirely different reasons.)

#kageryuart #kageryuoc
Rough colored render of my OC Mako doing a recent trend in her own way. She is without her cape, lying prone in a seductive manner, looking toward the viewer with a smug expression and her legs up, the closer of which is has her stiletto heel purposefully caught on her dress, raising it up to show off more of her bottom (the trend she's imitating normally does this with tights instead).

Julia (Fire Emblem)
ユリア（ファイアーエムブレム）

Soft bust commission of Julia in the Fates Witch outfit. As a bonus, I gave her a Heart Usurped spin on the idea. Thank you very much!

Soft-rendered bust of Julia from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, dressed in the outfit for the Witch class from Fire Emblem Fates.

I LIVE.

What I thought was a weekend of moving was me packing my computer days before we were even ready, and then we didn't even bring the Internet on the first trip. So yeah. Was off the grid for two weeks.

BUT I HAVE RETURNED.

Sailor Mercury (Sailor Moon)
セーラーマーキュリー（美少女戦士セーラームーン）

Commission. She wins the award for "most confusing canon hair color".

#kageryu798 #SailorMoon
Full-body soft render of Sailor Mercury from the Sailor Moon series. She's in her typical lineup pose* in front of her transformation sequence's final background. *I specify "lineup" because it's different from her transformation pose, and as one who has not watched Sailor Moon, I am unsure which is more "canon". I am also unsure what her canon hair color is meant to be, but that is beside the point. Text: セーラーマーキュリー Sailor Mercury Thanks for the commission! KageRyu798

Katalina (Granblue Fantasy)
カタリナ（グランブルーファンタジー）

Is that new bonus artwork for SR Summer Katalina???

Sadly no, it's a commission. But I'm sure in a few millennia I'll get to that level. Thank you very much for commissioning me!

#kageryuart #VGenComm #グラブル
Soft-rendered full-body art of Katalina from Granblue Fantasy in her summer outfit: a plain white bikini with her gauntlets still equipped. She's sitting on a towel on the beachside under a white-and-blue umbrella watching Lyra (also in her summer swimwear) play in the shallows in the ocean. The composition is set up to replicate the style of the bonus/uncap artwork typically used for summer characters in Granblue Fantasy, using a faded border and slight fisheye framing.
