Recent Works

The majority of my work is made using various paint markers, alcohol markers + other traditional media. Sometimes with a background/elements added digitally.I mostly draw my original characters + random made up fantasy girls.

Digital Artwork

My digital artwork is mostly made using Clip Studio Paint

Most of the work below was produced to promote the Sketch Request tier on my Patreon or for my Patrons of their own character requests.

I grew up reading the UK's Sonic the Comic and enjoy making fanart of the characters + contributing to fancomics and projects in the various worlds of Sonic the Hedgehog.
