I finally drew my favourite villain!!! Makishima Shogo is the best! And this is my favourite scene too!
Too bad I have no concept of depth so all the blood is blurred in different ways that don’t make sense lol
Fruit plate – speed sketch with a one hour limit. Not bad, though I spent far too long on the plate (which is skewed too); I went over it 3 times which wasted a lot of time, leaving me less time to go into more fruit detail.

Yay it’s finally done!
I thought my hand was totally going to die since I don’t use a tablet enough to use it well; I keep death gripping the stylus and my hand was twitching uncontrollably.
I can’t wait to go back to some pencil drawings and destroy my back instead!
The Ethereal set – Ristrel, Syndrafiel, Yverrine, Fool. I wasn’t sure if I wanted a four character panel or more/less; when I was looking through my records, I had the option of adding Entropy (who I’ve never drawn, even in concept) and the Ethereal Angel (I forgot her name, it’s too long and I never mention it), but I also didn’t have design for her. So just the four main ones it was!
I drew each one separately so their heights and sizes aren’t quite right, but the whole goal of this was to get a standalone yet flowing background for each of them, that was definitely fun to do!
Just a colour comparison in this post! The original Yverrine drawing pre-dates 2018 but I’ve been happy with the pencil versions through the years, so this is just reflecting on how she looks in colour, since these are the only two versions I have. I would still like her to have a few more leaves than what I drew in this time, but she lost the extra tendrils and leaves over the iterations of her design. I think in this case, simpler is better! She looks crosseyed in the 2023 colour, because I’m still bad with faces.
I managed to get more shine and saturation in compared to Ris’ panel, but the wood armour is lacking depth and definition.
Maybe I’ll get to work on her again in a few years!
So much progress, but still so far from where I want to be!
It’s also cool to see what I kept and what I changed! The only thing I forgot to carry over was the beads for the crown (I was debating whether or not to keep it anyway); instead of it being held up by physics, I guess it’s now held up by magic!
I gotta figure out how to make a more saturated piece using Clip Studio Pro. It was easy with dodge in Photoshop but I’m trying to create my own colours now and it’s hard!
