Those of you who follow me or know me personally know I’m a LGBT+ ally. How could I not be with my bisexual vampire OC Azra and his gay brutish boyfriend Falco? I wanted to participate in DeviantART’s Pride flag project this year, which means you select a color and then draw based on that color and theme. What do you know? I chose green, which was nature, which is actually where those beastie OCs are from!

I’ve been meaning to make a new time lapse video of me working on a new digital illustration, but honestly, it keeps slipping my mind by the time I get to actually sitting down and working on the work.
This one… Hmm, I didn’t really go into it thinking about much. I was thinking about pain, how I don’t really draw my character Azra showing pain (he doesn’t; he’s one of those people that kind of swallows it down) in any sort of physical sense.

I’ve done fanart for my favorite anime before, but I haven’t done anything really incredible, in my opinion. (I still don’t think this one is incredible, haha). Anyway, I wanted to spend a little more time on a work with the new Ghost in the Shell movie being released. While I don’t agree with the casting choice for the new movie, and I definitely had a different idea of where they should have gone with the legendary IP, I still enjoy the IP and original content.
It’s no secret that these two vampires (Falco and Azra) of mine were in the military — in more than one way. They both grew up in a militarized environment and joined up with the Durandalite military. Later one, far further down the line, they separately joined their respective armies to help fight during World War II. Since they’re both fluent in German, they were helpful in translating, amongst other things.
