Hello good people. Been awhile since I last posted an update. All has been going good. Admittedly, I had a major low point in March that greatly affected every aspect of my mentality and drive to make art. But as of now, been in doing good. Slowly been working on not only art but chatting with friends about not only various subjects and chilling, but also about some lore stuff for my Darkstalkers AU, Cryas Darkstalkers. Been a great time for my mind to work creatively.😄

In time I do hope to create more finished, rendered art to show off Cryas Darkstalkers and my OC stuff. Cryas Chronicles. But for now. Really need to work on designs 😤

Hope you all are doing well and will enjoy wharI have on offer for now.😄🙏

Hello everyone. Wow, made two new pieces of Darkstalkers art recently! Couldn't be happier with that. But for now, currently working on a gift art for an artist who has been a blessing to me with her dedication and kindness. She has made many wonderful pieces of art that I commissioned her to make, so I want to make a gift art for her. To entice you all, I'll share the sketch here. It is her favorite character, Elena from Street Fighter! Look forward to when this art gets completed. (>w>)c

Hey there fine folk, it has been a while since I last spoke. So, wanted to come on to give a quick rundown:

-Currently been working on my next big illustration. Been taking time, but I am on good track to finishing this month. Hopefully this week, if next at the latest.

-When I get that done, I need to get to work on finally finishing up some art I have had in my backlog. My Felicia and Auron pieces.

-However, I am also tempted to get the sketch and base down for two other characters: one of my OCs and finally redesigning Morrigan Aensland.

-I also want to work on some gift pieces for artist that I have commissioned cause they have made me happy. Luckily, nothing major and in my simpler concept style.

And yeah, that is about it. I am slow, but I am steady and getting better! Thank you for your patience and I hope you will be excited when I have new art to share!

Hey people! I know I have been generally silent. But honestly, I am not much of a talker. But, I am hear to give you an update! So as of right now, been working on what will be my next big illustration! Gonna take a bit, but it is making some good progress. Got the sketch done and wish to share. It is Hsien-Ko and Mei-Ling related!

Gonna be a big illustration, I can assure you. I am working on the lineart was we speak. However, I am itching to get something else going. But I will see where I go ultimately. For now, I bid you good day!

Really bloody cool to have an easy way for people to be able to play all the Darkstalkers games in an easy to access manner! I'll buy to support it!

Hey there people! Been a bit. So, currently working on my ref sheet for Mei-Ling's Dark Embrace. Hoping to get that done this weekend. The after that, kind of a toss-up. I want to work on an illustration showing them both in fully rendered glory. But I also kinda want to get started with other stuff. I still have Felicia and my OC Auron to finish up. But I would like to get another render project started. I think...I kinda want to get to finally redesigning Morrigan. And to go along with her, another OC as well. I kinda just wanna have things on standby. I don't know, doesn't sound like the best idea, but what I am feeling. In due time, I'll have some more glorious illustrations to share with you all! But for now, ask for patience and to perhaps revel in what I already have. Thanks and hope you do well!

For the past few weeks, been slowly working on an art piece that I am gonna submit to the UDON art contest. Slow, but excellent progress! Feeling good!

But just recently, an artist I commissioned finished the art I commissioned. But then she also went out of her way to also make a gift art as well...of my OC Norocier! It all touched my heart! QwQ

I'll share a link to my Twitter where I shared the piece and credited the artist, CASA. She is a wonderful and skilled artist and I highly recommend her!

AuraNova🆖️ on Twitter: "An amazing commission I got from @aoelena_3rd of Hsien-Ko and Mei-Ling. But also, she gifted me with a surprise fan art of Norocier! Casa is a wonderful artist for these incredible art pieces! She has my sincerest gratitude! Commission her! She is skilled and very kind! https://t.co/KeTMBziR2b" / Twitter

SO I woke December 1st to find out my Jiangshi among the Night piece was front paged! I dunno how that happens, if an individual or group pick or such. But if so, whoever you are out there, thank you immensely! It was nice for people to see my art in such a span of time! Especially since it is a mix of both Darkstalkers and my OC stuff! Made my day! Hopefully ya'll will stick around to see me make some more cool art! I got plans for the future. Till then, gonna relax as I got time off and my birthday is fast approaching. Cheers!

So for fun, decided to make a playlist consisting of songs that I felt encapsulate the spirit of Hsien-Ko and Mei-Ling based on my interpretations of them from my Cryas Darkstalkers mythos. Why not have a listen?

So after the great task that was my Halloween piece, I am gonna take a bit to relax. Kinda been going slow with working on a portrait piece I have been meaning to get to. But I am just chilling. But you may wonder what my plans are? Well, besides that portrait, I would like to get started in making a render for Felicia. While I already have one, I want to re-do her as I have some new ideas in my Cryas DS mythos and wish to update her look with these ideas. All in due time. Then I gotta get things going for a Christmas/holiday piece. Whatever that will be. Beyond that...well I wanna keep making renders of the Darkstalkers. But I honest to god need to get back to my OCs, besides Norocier. I love my OCs dearly, but I just haven't had the motivation or spark to make art of them. But gonna change that come 2022! Look forward to that!

Beyond that, just gonna keep going at it. Hope ya'll take care! I'll leave you with this silly thing I made for fun. Just a size chart of all the currently rendered characters.
