Ah it’s been far too long since I’ve drawn Freik! I also had an argument after my last attempt in Photoshop, so I finally tried out Clip Studio Paint in earnest. The colours are much more muted but that green glow is so saturated! I need more practice with it!
I really need to practice perspective lines! But I’m happy with how Ris and Irutha turned out, and that’s what’s important to me.
I loved my original picture back in 2015 too, but I wanted to do a redraw of it, which turned out well enough for me to polish!

Over the past few years, I’ve really only been visiting the same places over again. Same cafes, on rotation.
I decided it was high time I branch out and try a few new things, and so far, my food and coffee discoveries have been great!
Then I noticed Tora Sushi had opened, a place with signage I had noticed while visiting Abacus coffee, but not open yet, until I read about it again in the news a couple of weeks ago. I am fairly certain that this is the first omakase sushi restaurant in Perth (Nobu notwithstanding?), and it feels very much like the omakase boom vibe that Sydney has right now. Which actually made me a little nervous – is omakase so ubiquitous these days, is it even an “experience” to chase anymore?

I never thought I’d ever visit Queensland again, and especially not the Whitsundays! But I had the good fortune to get this opportunity from work, which was pretty amazing! Never would I have ever imagined that I’d work for a company who could provide an all expenses paid trip like this! Especially because I could take a friend!
We flew out from Sydney, to Hamilton Island, which then had a boat transfer to Hayman Island. I’d done some preliminary research that showed it was a fancy boat, not dissimilar to the posh pit on the boat to MONA.

Carried on from my Sydney 2023 post (finally making some time in between drawings!), my first stop in Melbourne is almost always Brother Baba Budan. Having a 5PM closing time is handy!

I can’t draw him lol. I’ve tried and tried and something is always off. This is mouth attempt number 3…
Uuuugh I hate this so much I blame the lineart that I messed up multiple times, I was lazy and didn’t lineart it properly when I drew it in pencil and I only have myself to blame but I have to post everything right because how else will I get beetttterrrrrr
Can you believe I’ve been trying to get a colour picture of Saryel with a full (ish) costume design for over 20 years?!
I finally got something passable, having only recently completed the costume design. I’m not sold on the colours yet either, but it will do!
Saryel, my God of War, in her vampiric glory!
I’ve been too afraid to try this drawing even though I’ve wanted to for a while. There’s this fear that I won’t capture his likeness, and the main mission – drawing hands! These hands are hard! But it’s a style of hands that I’ve not drawn before and it was my main focus.

Everything about this drawing was impossible lol. What are abs and how do I draw them??? Also I don’t think those are his final tattoos; I am simply terrible with tattoo design and ideas because that’s art on art and that’s too much art for me!
