Bringing More Old Hakuouki Art! I Drew This Quick Portrait Of Heisuke Wearing His Kendo Uniform In 2018

Bringing more old Hakuouki art! ⚔️🌸 I drew this quick portrait of Heisuke wearing his kendo uniform in 2018 and I still think it's one of my best drawings of him, haha. 💖

The last bout of Covid hit me harder than I expected and it took me a month to recover, so (now that I'm feeling better 💪) I sketched this figure drawing set as a warm up before returning to my RuPaul's realistic portrait painting! ✍🔥

This figure drawing session was made using references from the "Line of Action" site, each with a time limit of 5 minutes. ⏳ My personal favorite is the one of the buddy going up the trapezoid, lol, followed by the ✨fabulous✨ pose of the lower right corner one (which was also the hardest to draw! 😂).

It's been almost 1 month since I posted my RuPaul realistic portrait so (in case you're curious about what I've been cooking for the last month 👩🏻‍🍳🍳), here's a sneak peek of the 2 artworks I'm currently working on! 👍

The first one is an art meme (one of my favorite things to fill when I need a break from such ambitious projects as my realistic portraits 😂) featuring "The Artist VS Their OCs" (now halfway through the lineart stage).

And the second is a sketch of my take on a young Toriel (Undertale) as seen through the eyes of surface humans, who would regard her as the fearsome "Witch Queen" of monsters. 👹🔥 (I'm not drawing Toriel in PS but in Paint Tool SAI, I just opened the file in PS so the WIPs would look different, lol!).

In the end I couldn't resist the urge to draw a Country!Miku like everyone else is doing in that trending art meme. 👀 So get ready to see my take on Uruguay!Miku soon! 😆🌞 (Drawing her on horseback is proving to be difficult but very entertaining, lol! 🤣).

I'm so happy after (finally) deciding to stop posting my art on DeviantArt! 🤟💯 It's like 5 tons of weight has been lifted off my back, as I put up with the staff's hypocrisy/greediness and the constant dogpiling of AI shills since 2022, but the way they escalated this year (4 different incidents where Help Desk's pro-AI bias made them side with the harassers over and over again 🤡) ended up making me realize that dA is no longer the place I used to call "home", but one of the biggest havens of lazy, entitled, and manipulative AI art thieves out there. 💀

As I said in dA when I announced my departure (after 12 long years where I was awarded both Seniorship and Deviousness in recognition of the work I did for the community 🙃); unlike AI shills, ARTISTS don't depend on a site or a generator to make art, and our skills accompany us wherever we go without anyone ever being able to take them away from us. Art is FREEDOM, and it will always be. ✍️💖

A site as corrupted as dA doesn't deserve to receive a single drop of traffic thanks to our art (the one they're currently exploiting in their Stability AI/LAION-powered "DreamUp" generator 🚮), and the best way to punish the staff for their greed and cruelty towards human artists is to stop posting art there as millions of artists have done since 2022. 💪🎨 Can't wait to share more art with you guys in this new stage of my artistic journey!

(There's more info about the non-stop harassment I endured for being one of the few remaining vocal anti-AI Senior Members in my last 2 dA posts, which will be deleted after a few days).

Ohh, so I was looking at my storage and found these! I originally shared them on twitter before yeeting the platform. Anyway, feel free to use! Art memes for your oc :D
