I'm offering fully colored character art commissions for 50 USD through paypal. I enjoyed the "pay what you want" comms format done on stream but unfortunately recent developments forced me to try to raise as much money I can within the next couple weeks. Please share thank you.

Apologies for the recent inactivity.. life just came along and said hey... you're fat and stupid... so yeah that was pretty harsh... BUT I plan on streaming again soon. Thx for not ganging up on me and killing me and eating me.

I didn't expect this drawing to get much attention considering it was uploaded so late at night lol, but thank you guys. Like I said this was made live on Twitch during my "Pay what you want Commissions" stream. If you're interested, I'll be live again later today :]

Obviously AI is an issue that extends beyond the gaming space, but it's been so depressing seeing "recomps"/"pc ports" of games I love pop out every other day or so only to find out that they're vibecoded. The recent SoulCalibur 2 one made me so sad.

Might be out of my depth saying this because I'm not a software engineer or programmer, but seeing that most of this AI coded ports use the original emulator as some sort of gpu backend kind of defeats the purpose of making the port in its entirety. The x360 ports are like this.

I had been chipping away at this drawing for roughly a week and at this point I think it's about time I give in and start a new piece. I like the changes to his clothing alongside removing the pauldron, but man the sword has taken up so much time to fix. One step closer I guess.

I mentioned before that Duke's sword was basically a copy of Guts' dragonslayer and that's why I wanted to try to redesign it. Turns out it is REALLY hard for me. I spent 70% of my time drawing new versions of it which drove me mad lmao. Ah well

Another thing that's difficult for me is trying to make the color palette (for both Duke and his sword) less homogeneous. Different shades of black/grey can only go so far, and I feel like I'm overusing the blue accents. I'd love to hear suggestions lol

I need to draw faster because I lose so much motivation if I take longer than a day on a drawing

This is Duke. The drawing on the left is roughly a year old, and the right I did yesterday. I wanted to see if I could fit a pauldron on the coat, but unfortunately it's either I'm too inexperienced to figure out a way to make it look good or it's just not possible.

One final note I want to talk about is his sword. Originally it was just a futuristic/cybernetic take on the dragonslayer from berserk, but after looking at the weapons from guilty gear I wanted to touch it up and have it turn into an energy cannon as well

All of these redesigns (including Viktoria) are far from their end result but I feel myself getting closer with each drawing. Hope you think it's cool
