Melia Antiqua Dakimakura/Body Pillow Sketch Preview Hi-Res PNG

Hey guys! Not much to say. I'm sure as the people who support me on Patreon youre most likely in the loop about what has been going on with me, but today I was finally able to get through some shit and work on the Melia dakimakura rough design. In addition to the bestest on her FC side, I'm also considering adding a little flan monster for those who are in the know <3

I'd like to also do some work on a KOS-MOS mini chibi pillow and considering making some swimsuit variants to accompany the xc2 swimsuit dakis I planned on making last year!

Thank you for still sticking with me in spite of everything. I would not be here without your support, genuinely. I cannot promise a lot right now, but I will do my best to honor your support and do as much as I possibly can given the current circumstances. I also want to do a drawing of the new XC3 Hero, Masha so maybe look forward to something next week/a bit later this week :)

Thank you so much again, and please look forward to the NSFW variants of Melia and KOS MOS dakimakura designs :)

Passage of Fate: A Xenoblade Themed Fan Book

Hey broskis! Here's the official update I spoke about on Twitter regarding the artbook I'm putting together now featuring nearly every piece of artwork I've done for the Xeno series in general over the past ~3-4 years (including merch!) I know there's a ton of things some of you have never seen before that will be added in later iterations, but for now I just want to share the main attraction which is listed in the above photos!

In the past 2 days since getting in to Anime Expo, I've made a rough sketch of what I want the cover to be (which will change a bit as the printer I want to use will not offer gold foil printing, however all that will be changing will be the title changing a bit), the main layout for both the print and merch sections, as well as nailing down the overall layout of the book.

I hope you guys like my idea of making each page colorful, as I wanted it to be like flipping through a rainbow in a way ^^ I'm very proud of how the merch pages came out too! All thats left now is to make intro/outro and special thanks pages. Oh! And of course, we have so many amazing artists contributing artwork as guests! On the lineup are: @Kamaniki, @Blun_Z, @joypendant, @mitsuchiis, @Nithros, @Chirunuru, and @Kamuuei. I've also asked them to include short blurbs about what Xeno series means to them and how its affected their lives as I know a lot of us who have come in contact with the series have had our lives change in a lot of ways thanks to it <3

By the way, yes this book will be available after Anime Expo should there be any left over copies. For Patrons of July, I can also set up secret store where you can preorder the book along with the CON EXCLUSIVE cotton tote bag (A4 size or 8.3"x11.8") and shikishi board if there's enough interest. Would you be interested in this? Let me know!

Finally! If you are reading this and have not seen the notification in the subs channel on discord, your name can be added to this book! How? Just fill out this Google Form (if you have already filled it out please dont fill it out again!) and your name will be included on a page that I'm dedicating for special thanks ^^ Here's the link to that:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ePCYyQDtJYzGx42YnpPdKUdn-2wURIxYZ0fwUWqfsLU

Also Also, I completed the sketch for the Melia daki, so literally right now after I have another hot dog for dinner (I had one for breakfast lmfao) I'm going to get started on doing the color roughs for both her and KOS MOS. Melia I'm very excited about since I want to draw her laying on a bed of grass and flowers (like her private garden in XC1) rather than just plain white sheets! Let's see if we can do something similar for KOS MOS too! Please look forward to those updates hopefully tomorrow, but definitely over the weekend I'll be posting updates at the very latest ^^ NSFW variants to come after then!

Oh Oh! I keep having extra things to say since this is a big post...for anyone still here, I hired a helper officially who will be taking over Etsy! I'm handing the store over to her starting tomorrow, but she wont be packing orders on her own until sometime next month. If you have any questions, she'll be available to answer all questions and help with anything Etsy related. For questions about Patreon, Twitch, or art related questions please continue to reach out to me via Discord! 

Thanks again, and happy Friday! The weekend's almost here! Let's enjoy it!

Early Preview Sketch KOS MOS Dakimakura/Body Pillow Design + Other Sketches

It's late on weekday and I'm phone posting!
I drew KOS MOS for a preliminary sketch of a body pillow design I want to make along with a Melia! NSFW versions are in the works as well 💖✨️ please look forward to them!

NSFW Queen Nia dakimakura Illustration Preview NSFW

Happy New Year!

I was finally able to complete this Queen Nia nsfw variant for the dakimakura covers. I'm submitting it to the manufacturer as soon as I'm finished making this post on Patreon!

Kinda long personal Update but for anyone interested:

After moving I thought everything would change for the better but I'm realizing that there's a lot I need to work through. That's why I'm really happy and relieved to soft announce that I'm hiring helpers to take over the business side of the store. I'll still be drawing, streaming, and interacting on Patreon/Twitter/Discord, if anything this change will help me get back to DOING those things. The business side of maintaining the store is actually taking so much, its making it difficult to even do my drawings...so by early Feb, I'll be introducing the new helper(s) who will be assisting on Etsy/my new online storefront and will also be handling all packages <3

Thanks so much for supporting me through everything. I am truly grateful for all the support you all show me. Thats why I'm so happy to finally say I need help and take that step towards getting back to what I really love, which is interacting with yall, this community, and also just with DRAWING!!!

Please enjoy this Nia, and moving forward in February I want to start taking weekly (maybe monthly to start) polls with who you'd like to see me draw ^^ Also, it will be time soon for me to release the old (original XC2) dakimakura artwork psds. Please look forward to that, and happy new year again! May the new year treat you well and be full of happiness and hope!

NSFW Eunie dakimakura Illustration Preview NSFW

On to Queen Nia!

NSFW Mio Dakimakura Cover UNCENSORED Medium Resolution

Cant write much right now due to deadline crunch, im jumping right into doing Eunie right now, but heres the full uncensored artwork of Mio for her NSFW variant Dakimakura cover!

NSFW Mio Dakimakura Illustration UNCENSORED

I was able to start progress on the NSFW daki artwork today! The second image is of Mio completely uncensored ^^ the rest of the illustration (her legs, feet) don't have any other changes, but I'll post the full artwork tomorrow night one I finish the back side illustration too!

thank you for sticking with me throughout this process! I just needed a short break once I submitted the majority of the files to the manufacturer to get a head start so that they can get everything done before I leave for Australia in Feb!! Lots of updates this week including VOD uploads!

Also an update for January/Feb: I'm going to get regular polls up and running for which characters youd like to see me draw starting at that time! So be on the lookout for that too. I'll also be creating individual discounts for Patreon members to use on my store on all purchases ^^

Thank you again and see you again tomorrow! Hope yal had an awesome Holiday and are surviving :)

Eunie the BUS FULL Resolution PNG + PSD (Working File)

Same as the last post lol but I attached the psd to this post for anyone who wants to download and see all the goodness in its layers as I was working on it! If you guys are interested in me sharing my brushes btw let me know and i can make it a point to include that in posts in the future :)

Just to be thorough btw, I'll be posting both VODs once theyre up on YouTube in one post. And on Friday's stream I want to get a head start on Hero Melia's illustration! If you havent seen it yet, her sketch is on Twitter still!

Thank you again, and seasons greetings!

Hang in there to all my service worker/retail worker bros! Thank you for your hard work and for keeping our communities running!

Eunie the BUS FULL Resolution .png

HI!!! 

We finished Eunie today!

I did some edits off screen with the bg, but Eunie herself was completed on stream today <3 I will be uploading her video process very soon to YouTube once I get caught up on the other VODs! I shared some Momo V-Tuber proto-designs and artwork too, so be sure to check it out when its up!

Thank you to everyone who joined and see you again on Friday, where we will get started on the Melia Hero print ^^

Queen Nia Illustration Twitch VOD Lineart Process + PSD

Heya! Here's the twitch VOD for the lineart process of the Queen Nia print I just posted! I've also attached the .psd file to this post as well ^^

I'll be posting the VOD from yesterday most likely tomorrow, once I have a chance to upload it to Youtube!

Queen Nia Illustration Full Resolution PNG

Hey guys!

Sorry for the lack of updates. Here is the complete Queen Nia illustration that I made as a trade with Zee on Twitter! Then, I was approached by Gigi to guest in her Nia Bible, a Nia dedicated anthology that she will be selling at Comiket!

I am quite proud of how this Nia came out! It was really nice to do an illustration of a print for once, and honestly I think I really need to focus on doing illustrations like this again. Of course, I also want more time and energy to focus on doing some nsfw content as well since my side account on twitter has been getting kind of dusty lol. And the dakis, while feel like an accomplishment once theyre complete, take a lot of mental energy to work on! Prints are much easier for me right now, so I think i'll be working on the sketches I have left over, and work on new XC2 prints too!

In a separate post for Cronchy Peach subs and higher I have included the VODs from the twitch livestreams as well as the psd, so if youre that tier go ahead and check out that if youre interested!

Thanks as always for showing your support! Being able to focus on things like this means a lot to me, and I'll be working hard to maintain a more regular schedule here soon 

Queen Nia Dakimakura Body Pillow BACK Illustration (Medium Res)

HI IM GETTING THINGS DONE ALSO VERY EXCITING LIFE THINGS HAPPENED IN THE PAST FEW DAYS IM GOING TO AUSTRALIA IN FEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But enough about that......Nia back side illustration is complete! I'm working on NSFW ones now starting tomorrow evening. I will be doing my first art stream in a long time tomorrow btw! Starting at noon PST (Monday for those of you on the East Coast) and VODs will be reuploaded here with an expected delay of 1 day since the stream. I'll leave streams up on Twitch for one week before deleting them, so yall will have access to those as well! I'm excited to start streaming again you guys TT_TT I hope I'll see you guys there, and if not see you on here with the VODs!!

Queen Nia Dakimakura Body Pillow FRONT Illustration (Medium Res)

I am all over the place so I dont think I can make much of a caption for this? Do u guys read these lol...

I think we finally got through a network issue at my house so I can focus completely on submitting files to Twitter and my manufacturer! There's not any super interesting story about this Nia outside of the fact that I'm really excited and proud of how she came out ^^ I think this illustration is by far my best dakimakura illustration, so I hope you all enjoy it, and enjoy the files when I can release them after orders get sent out late next month!

I'll actually be traveling to Australia next year, and wondering on what project to start on that is accessible while overseas. I'm thinking that after this merch drop is complete, I'd like to focus on drawing illustrations again (like prints but not necessarily to sell) and also try and enjoy my new NSFW alt on Twitter. If you haven't seen it already, the @ is @kur0k4 (kuroka, black flower! meanwhile momoka means peach flower)

NEWAY HAPPY GAME AWARDS LETS GO XC3

Queen Nia Dakimakura Preview

Still chipping away at Queen Nia atm! She should be done tomorrow afternoon, i was trying to push myself to get her done by tomorrow so I could place the order with the manufacturer but Etsy has been slow with depositing the funds into my account, so I'm taking it a BIT easy on her coloring. Wanna take my time and make sure I do her justice ! The order either way is going through on Sunday evening, so everything will be available at that time!

Mini Cheeb Pillows Medium Res Preview

HI I have not updated in a while because I havent been sure about what I can post here without giving you guys TOO much of the same things in the discord server/twitter. But I was excited to post these finished pillow designs here without any watermarks and in a higher res than I've been posting on twitter!!

I was really happy to finally finish these, especially because the old designs from 3 years ago were...rough to say the least. I personally am a big pillow whore and one of my favorite pieces of merchandise to get in artist alley was always a little character pillow like this. So I hope you guys enjoy them too! I'll try to post the Queen Nia front side illustration today for the dakimakura as well, though that will be out a bit later in the evening!

XC1, XC2, XCDE Chibi Character Pillows WIP

Its late again :) I worked basically all day on these (Pyra/Pneuma are from last night) and I'm tryin my best to get these done asap TT_TT Eunie, Mio and maybe Sena are still comin but I wanted to post an update for today with the work we got done!

Happy 5th anniversary btw! I cant wait for a break to be able to play Xenoblade again....

Mio Dakimakura/Body Pillow BACK Illustration (Medium Resolution)

SHES DONE! WE DID IT!

I'm setting aside Queen Nia coloring for this weekend, so I can focus on finishing these cute little mini chibi pillows (30cm/12inch) can be completed with this order as well. Everyone except for Queen Nia will be up for preorder, along with non-preorder items like a restock of Eunie, Melia, and Ethel mousepads!

As for NSFW variants, I'm on a time crunch to get those done for Mio and Eunie by mid December. I may need to leave the order for physical NSFW dakimakura for Queen Nia, but that wont be too far behind.

Thank you guys so much and please look forward to the little character pillows I'll be working on today and tomorrow!

I'll be making pillows of: Mio, Eunie, Sena, XC1 Melia and FC Melia, Driver and Blade Nia, as well as Pyra/Pneuma and Mythra/Pneuma! I added a picture of the sketches for those gals under Mio if you're interested in peeping a preview!

Finally, after this preorder period I'll start taking polls for which characters you'd like to see me make merch of moving forward that is only available to you guys on Patreon! So look forward to that in the new year!

TUTORIAL: Mio Daki/Body Pillow BACK (Unfinished WIP/Medium Resolution)

Hey Guys!

I dont think I'll be able to promote the finished Mio back side because she still needs a bit of rendering, as you can see. That being said, I thought it would be fun to post an addition to yesterdays written description of how the texture on the tights were made. I can make a video of the process in the future too if you guys would be interested in seeing it in action! Just let me know in the comments below or on Discord if you'd like a separate post for a video!

Attached below is a very low res copy of the working file for the dakimakura/body pillow of Mio's back side. As you can see, she is still not fully rendered. But I attached the .psd for you guys to check out if you're more of a visual learner! That way you can see how it was implemented along with the written description ^^ I'll be sure to post again tonight once her back side is complete so look out for that soon!

Mio Daki/Body Pillow FRONT (Medium Resolution)

I love tights :) Sorry I got kind of wiped out energy wise over the weekend, so I'm a bit behind schedule....as usual...lmao rip...but I'm glad i took the time to make sure I did her tights the way I ended up doing them. It was a really easy trick too! Just roughly draw out individual lines, copying them so they stay as uniform as possible. Then, once one direction is complete, copy the layer, reverse the orientation and you have an easy mesh material! from there, you can use a "stroke" effect to add an outline to your tights, and do it one more time, offset it in one direction and use a blur effect to add an easy shadow! It really makes it pop imo!

thanks again for being patient with me by the way. I really do appreciate yall being here and supporting me in this community ^^ please look forward to her back side tomorrow! Will try to have everything (except queen nia) up on Etsy by Friday!

!!NSFW!!Mio Daki/Body Pillow FRONT SIDE WIPs

This is the first NSFW illustration I've posted online before. Just wanted to share progress and show what you guys can expect from the NSFW variants. A changed expression, and bared breasts/genitals!

This is obviously still incomplete, for both sides, but I still wanted to share an update with yall before I turned in for the night. Let me know what you think!

Eunie Daki/Body Pillow BACK Art (Medium Res)

This one was very difficult TT_TT yesterday I was struggling with a tummy ache I think I got from eating chicken in the morning...and in between that even though I was feeling really good about the rendering in general, I kept tinkering with the head, hair and face. Finally I decided to lay her to rest LMAO and above is what I decided to settle with.

I hope you guys like her! Her, and Mio will go up for Pre-Order on Monday with the mousepad restock. Queen Nia is still coming, but will most likely go up for Pre-Order next Friday along with a few other goodies!

As for NSFW variants, they will go up mid-december once I get a chance to do paint overs. Question: for NSFW dakimakura, do you want both sides to feature NSFW content, or just one side? Let me know! My original plan was to just do one side NSFW but it could go either way ^^

Eunie Daki FRONT SIDE Full Art (Medium Res)

I CANT BELIEVE WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BACK SIDE TOMORROW IM GONNA TRY MY BEST

NSFW variant coming after I complete all the SFW variants (Mio, Queen Nia) so look out for those in December OO

psd will be posted in a few months once the covers have had a chance to be on sale on Etsy!

(Also happy turkey day to my fellow american bros, please eat some yummy pies and treats today!)

Mythra and Light High Resolution .png + .psd

Mythra! Again, apologies for not posting yesterday. Not much to say about this Mythra honestly, I'm excited to work on a replacement print of her once I get through the dakimakura. Tangentially, I'll be posting more updates for the in-progress dakis, mousepads and other pieces of merch starting soon!

Until then, please enjoy this high resolution .png of Mythra, and the .psd too for anyone curious about my layer/drawing process! I do include the entire file, so sketches, lineart, coloring, effects etc. You can check that out by downloading the .psd from this google drive link!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/18OZO5F3Py_1Nr1i_NWF57UbEQEJEXEuT/view?usp=sharing

Mythra and Light High Resolution .png

Sorry for not posting yesterday, I totally spaced while organizing orders and shipping labels TT_TT There were about 100 to go through and it ended up taking like 3 hours and by the time I realized it was already super late.

Mythra! I drew her as a companion piece for Pyra. She may have not been as well received but she is still one of the best Mythra's I've ever managed to draw so I'm still happy to have her ^^ One of the first completed illustrations on the new computer/tablet set up too which I was able to invest in thanks to the initial merch drop I did in tandem with Enel!

Hope you guys enjoy, and tomorrow I'll be releasing the Pneuma Booty full resolution image, along with her .psd as well. After that, I will likely be releasing dakimakura files, but those will not be at full resolution (for obvious reasons.) I will definitely post full res soon once I am able to remake the main XC2 cast along with NSFW variants, but for now I'll be releasing them at 1/4 full resolution, along with the .psd for the Cronchy Peach tiers and above!

Pyra in the Flames Full Resolution .png + Full Video Process (Lineart + Coloring)

Yes its Pyra!! 

You can see a cute story in the other post with just the .png file about her so check that out if you get a chance!

Here you can see there is no .psd file TT_TT That is because this was one of the last illustrations I was able to draw on my old tablet before the battery went bad. The file is unfortunately still stuck on my old tablet, but I will try to contact someone and see if it and a couple other files can be recovered from it. Until then, I thought it would be a fun replacement to share my process in a way: I saved the old VOD from Twitch when I linearted, and colored her all in one sitting!

Its a 7 hour and 40 minute long video, but you can download it from this google drive link and enjoy it either in its full original run time, or by speeding it up in VLC! Unfortunately I couldn't successfully host this video on YouTube due to copyright issues with the music (Bleach music lmao) but its a good watch and worth checking out still! Here's the link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1txDCZA7te7EV4RpXkA93jqd7GoGuFl3X/view?usp=sharing

Thanks again, and I'll be posting a few polls soon asking about how you'd like to stay updated and connected in terms of me posting WIPs. For now, I was thinking of keeping updates relegated to the sub dedicated channels in my server on Discord until I'm able to upload a few more print illustrations here. What do you guys think? Would you prefer I post updates for WIPs here immediately, or is posting in #subs-are-gods good for you?

Pyra in the Flames Full Res .png

Pyra!! The fun story about this illustration is that it reached within the top 20 trending tweets in the entirety of Japan when it was first posted. I was so excited when I got the tweet notification and it was an illustration where I really pushed myself to try and include some effects.

I actually have a real-life friend named AJ who first started doing Artist Alley around the same time I did, and I always admired him for his amazing coloring and mastery over creating awesome effects. We don't really talk anymore, but whenever its time to draw lightening, fire, water, or any other particulate effect I always think of him and his art! If you love Shounen Series, check him out at AJ Touch Art!

Anyway, I also have a video saved of me linearting and coloring her all in one sitting during one of my old livestreams! That's uploaded to Google Drive and will be available for the Cronchy Peep tier and up! Its pretty fun and a total blast from the past, so check it out if you get a chance!

Blade Nia High Resolution .png + .psd

One of my favorite illustrations ever! This Blade Nia started out very different actually, which you can see once you download the psd file. Funny enough Patreon says the .psd file is too large to upload directly, so below is a link to that!

The original illustration was actually supposed to be of Nia in her blade form resting on a small pond surrounded by a few lily pads. I kinda still really love that idea and want to revisit it for another illustration. I hope you guys enjoy! Coming up next will likely be the high resolution copy of Pyra. Unfortunately that psd is missing, but I do have a copy of my livestream where I linearted and colored the sketch to completion with a lot of really dumb commentary lol. With my old mic too! Hope you guys are excited to check that out ^^

Oh, and before I forget, here is a link to that psd on my Google Drive!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/10NLcoT1TlawXUMG04dTZz8rURE34-5zj/view?usp=sharing

Blade Nia Full Res .png File

Nia in her blade form under the water in an ocean setting!

The story behind this illustration was I saw an image with a similar posing of a female character in a bathing suit on the beach, and I thought that I could draw something similar featuring blade Nia to complement the Driver Nia I drew a few months previously (the last post!) I also wanted to draw some fish to add dimension, and added the bubbles at the last second to push the underwater effect :)

Driver Nia Full Res + .PSD Working File

HI IM TESTING SOMETHING DID IT WORK

Basically I'm testing out to see if the illustration + .PSD are downloadable and visible to you guys? Cronchy Peaches, Peach Pies and Sky Jewel Tarts fill me in on if it works or not......if it werks I'm gonna start finding and uploading my old prints in full resolution. Unfortunately Pyra is on my old PC and I'm not sure I have access to the original .PSD for her anymore, but I do have the full resolution illustration available. I definitely have Blade Nia, and Mythra. I checked and it looks like the .PSD for Pneuma is missing as well, but I do have the bootylicious Pneuma one so......i will upload her instead....thanks again bros and let me know what u think...

Hi What Am I Doing

I Have No Idea What I'm Doing But I'm Glad You're Here With Me On This Journey :)
