This is Urien from Even Keel, the wayward android.

Hope you don't mind. I'm going to be spamming most of the art I've done over the past couple months. I'm playing catch-up, I guess. I'd really like to start posting daily, just to keep myself drawing.

Here is some art that was supposed to be for my NaNo this year, but seeing as I've ditched sci-fi for good old fantasy, the outfits aren't quite applicable.

I hope to come back to the sci-fi story at some point. I think it has potential and is more in line with what I always envision Kai'Juricho to be.

That fantasy AU, though. No stopping it once it gets started.

Oscar with a war hammer, inspired by a playthrough of Skyrim.

I planned to get this guy up for Halloween. That obviously didn't happen.

I’ve been playing Fire Emblem: Fates and I felt nostalgic for good old FE7.

Matthew and Leila, my god. :(

This is the quote that has kept me going ever since I started to really struggle with my artwork. An artist I looked up to said these words to me when I asked for help and they have been practically inked into my soul ever since. When I am in doubt, shame, and even feeling helpless about my work… I say these words to myself.

Then I pick up a pen, and I doodle. Because that’s what I need to do.

Don’t give up. Keep drawing.

I gathered some sketches from the past months and finally scanned them. (It’s the only thing my printer is good for now, but let’s not get into that here.) 

Top batch is Even Keel, bottom is Star & Lionhearts / Fantasy Kai’J.

Rinth craned his neck back. Above him was his destination, three great towers in a swirling sea of gray. The Silet had beckoned and it was Rinth’s duty, along with those that remained of his peers, to answer.

Art from a comic idea I'd like to draw. The working title (this time around) is Stars and Lionhearts.

At least this Raichu’s better than the last one I drew. Look at that little snarl.

I think I say this every time. I love Oscar.
