Lil' gift for a friend of mine. This is her dragon boy~

I like drawing guys in suits/well-dressed gentlemen in general.

So. I discovered last night that the reason my linework has always been so shaky and shoddy is because I use Photoshop 7.0, which is ancient. And it lacks something called a "line stabilizer".

This was done with Clip Studio Paint free trial. Which blocks you from saving and is evil, but at this point I'm more than ready to throw money at them for the program.The difference is night and day. I've never had such nice lines. I'm over the moon right now. My art quality is going to jump up immensely. I have been struggling with it the hard way for the last 8 years of digital arting. The dark ages are over.

I'm so excited that I could barely sleep.

Taking a leave for awhile, but I'll be back!

Edit: With that impending AC:NH update, who WOULDN'T be back?

 

[Amissapanda]

Updating this thread for the first time in over a year!

I've been busy with art and things last year and this year. Here's a few of the things I've done!

Character reference sheet for my Vtuber character: Rashiira! She's an ice princess doggo~

Cute chibi version of my best friend Kaito as a pirate!

Chibi of Rashiira!

Hope you enjoy~ I may post more in the future, but most of them need to be resized, haha.

Don't know if anyone remembers me, but it's good to be back!

 

[Amissapanda]

Back with a bit more of my art~ I have done quite a bit this year and also quite a few last year. If you'd like to see more, let me know! I don't mind sharing them if people would like to see my work.

Gift art I did for an ice wolf Vtuber called Arctic Ayumi! She's really cool (pun intended) and was fun to draw.

Gift art for my Vtuber friend Alistair Forgall. I do like drawing handsome guys/bishounen~ And he's a good and kind friend.

Birthday gift art for Spica, another Vtuber. Her character Mint is really cute!

Annnnnd that's it, for now. Don't want to dump too much art here at once. But I really hope that you enjoy them! I'm so happy to be back into digital art and improving more and more.

I hope people here enjoy what I have to share. Thank you for taking the time to look!

Another little update~

This is when I was trying a softer paint-ery coloring style! It was good for working with quickly. I need to use it again sometime. I have this issue of taking hours upon hours to finish anything because I can't stay at just a sketch very often. I need to get better at drawing/sketching/painting quickly.

I love this peachy-pink color for Rashiira, though. Despite her blue and ice theme, the color really suits her and I have been using it with her in quite a few pieces and fashion styles.

Hope you enjoy!

Made this for my best friend, Kaito (Xiathe here on the forums), on the day he did his PNG streamer debut. He's a catboy and a thief, and a heckin' charmer, as well~ I really love his design and it will no doubt not be anywhere near the last time I draw him. (Heck, I already have several times since I did this.)

I hope to maybe draw our Animal Crossing villagers in the near-ish future, as well. We play together a lot. He's a joy to have in my life and always brings smiles and laughs. I was glad this brought him happiness.

More arts to come.

This is my sona, Chammy, who I ALMOST went for as a Vtuber model when I started Vtubing at the end of last year. I actually began with Chammy in 3D to livestream with before I saved up for a Live2D model of Rashiira that I now currently use. Chammy is a red panda girl, because red pandas are my absolute favorite animals ever and I relate to them way too well. Hahaha. I don't regret not using her for my final Vtuber, though. I'm having a load of fun playing an ice princess. Chammy is just... me. LOL

Then this is pretty recent art I did of Chammy to match my haircut! I like the short, breezy feel of it and it made me happy! I also challenged myself to do this one in an hour, so shading & coloring was done very quickly. But it's nice to challenge yourself sometimes, especially when you're pretty happy and proud of the results!

I'll share a silly thing today.

My Vtuber character, Rashiira, doesn't like being called cute. And all my friends and community/Twitch chat tend to bully her with it! But they just don't understand... a princess doesn't want to be 'cute'! Enchanting, ravishing, elegant, sophisticated? Certainly! But not cute!

It's a fun little back and forth, though. And I drew this with two of my close friends, my bestie Kaito (catboy) and my friend Fenrir (foxwolf boy) picking on Rashi. I drew this quickly as a little gift for them a month or two ago, but it was fun!

 

[Amissapanda]

I did a fair amount of ko-fi donor requests on my ko-fi late last year through the first quarter of the year this year, in my efforts to save up for a Live2D model. Through that, one donor in particular would often give me prompts to draw with instead of detailing an actual request or character that they wanted in return for the generous donations. I did my best with what they asked, but one prompt in particular really tripped me up.

They asked for something to fit "Rage". And for an artist like myself, who was used to drawing a lot of cutesy stuff and romantically-themed art, it was way out of my wheelhouse and the norm. But. That made it a great challenge for me to take on. I had one OC in particular who really fit the bill for the potential with 'rage', as he happened to be a half-demon.

This is my OC Yune Hiraze, after the last thread of his patience is utterly diminished. He's usually quite patient, but has an insane rage button if it's actually hit. He's also a bit of a pyromaniac that can summon fire through magic, so the inclusion of fire gave me the opportunity to work with some fun lighting and shadows! This ended up being one of the pieces this year that I'm most proud of. I had a great time with the prompt, the donor liked it a lot, and I feel like I got a good grip on using CSP more. I have a version of this with text, as well, but I really prefer the version without.

But considering how happy I have been with this piece, I wanted to share it here, as well.

Time for more arts!

This was the birthday gift I made for my wonderful friend Dot! She's an artist as well and we've been friends for a few years now. She's wonderful. Her pomeranian girl was recently changed into a pom-dragon girl and the design is so cool and cute that I definitely wanted to do something with it for her birthday. I had a lot of fun with the coloring~ Her char is so cute!

Hope you enjoy~

 

[Amissapanda]

Here's an art piece I did for Vtuber Olivia Crowley! Her character is vampire. Though I think she might be revamping soon into a new persona? Either way, hers was on a PNG list drop on my Twitter where I picked some people's characters to draw. She has a lovely character! The darker tones and colors with the contrasting bright blue flowers was really fun to play with~ It made for some really nice tones and contrasts!

More to come in the near future!

Here's a ko-fi donor commission that I did for a friend this year:

I have mixed feelings about this one. I'm actually really happy with the art and I really love how it turned out.

But the commissioner's response to it was very lukewarm and almost despondent, despite specifically asking for something of my sona (Chammy) with their character and to make it cuddly/romantic.

I worked really hard on it, though, and I enjoyed doing it. This person hasn't talked to me in months, so I'm starting to think the problem is that I wasn't actually romantically interested in them despite them confessing to me...

Mixed feelings aside, I think it's okay to still feel proud of it. I have a few other arts I made this year with similar emotional baggage in them.

 

[Amissapanda]

Here's a little gift I made for a fellow ice-themed Vtuber~

This is Yuki Hatsu, an ice dragon! She's pretty 'cool' if you know what I mean.

I had a lot of fun with her lovely hair. She's got a super cute outfit, too.

Fun fact: Whenever I made these gifts on stream, I always called them "sketches" and yet they would turn out as finished colored pieces basically every time... I just have a hard time leaving things not more fully 'done'. lol My community/Twitch chat gives me flack on it sometimes (playfully), 'cause they know if I say I'm doing sketches, it's probably gonna be a bit more than that.

 

[Amissapanda]

Here's a gift I made for my friend Fenrir's birthday this year! It's a little talking PNG of his OC! Fenrir is half fox, half wolf (or foxolf if you will)! His hair and tail are verrrry fluffy and really fun to draw and color.

And now if he ever decides to stream in the future, he has a PNGTuber all set up for him~!

He really liked it, so I was very happy.

 

[Amissapanda]

Thank you to the people who dropped me some likes and such, though. I'm glad some people saw my works and enjoyed them.

 

[Amissapanda]

Some recent-ish art from this year:

Rashiira and (a sleepy) Willow enjoying some ACNH on the ACNH Switch!

Reactive PNGs for Phasmophobia streams with my bestie. This is the part that lights up when we talk (and turns the devices on). I figured posting both would be a little redundant. But I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I hope you all have been doing well. Thanks for stopping by~

I did these as a Christmas gift for friends and people in my Vtuber community a year or two ago. It was fun designing each of their unique villagers! I let them pick the types they wanted to be and colors and went from there. They were a lot of fun to make, even if it was incredibly time-consuming!

Thank you so much! ;-; I'm glad you liked them! It was definitely a challenge, since I struggle with animals, but at least ACNH makes them cartoon-y enough that I could get by, haha. I really wish they were real villagers, too!

Funny fact about the galaxy deer, though... That is actually made after a user on this very site, who I met here many years ago! I don't know if you're familiar with Jinglefruit, but that was made for him!
