A redraw of a much worse picture from 2017. I sometimes feel that this was my first "good" drawing, where I'd finally cracked a decent balance of anatomy, proportion, line strength, colouring, and lighting. This is far from flawless, but it feels like everything is finally clicking.
The pose feels powerful, and I'm particularly happy with the palette; it exclusively uses red hues, with rich saturated tones that I think contrast marvelously against the off-white and gray. The blood looks very wet in a rendering technique I hadn't tried before.

Ray in powered armour, standing on a hill. For a time this was my favourite work; the drawing is unusually well finished. I particularly like the blood: the splashes feel realistic, the drops on the sword look viscous, and the trail leading from the foreground combines with the wide background to create an uncomfortable disconnect with the subject. Or at least I think it does.
The design has some interesting qualities. At this time, Ray was strongly associated with the colour orange, and had a halo for some reason. You may notice her human legs sticking out the back of the knees, this was the workaround I came up with for having long mechanical legs. It helps the suit feel more like something you drive than wear.

Valentine's day special: Sig and Annika embracing, half asleep. This drawing is based off an old painting that I can't remember the name of. Despite the extremely rough lines, and the messy palette, I still quite like how tender this came out.

An old room I used to inhabit inside the worst house I've ever lived in. I moved in during the lockdown with my at the time girlfriend as it was the only place we could afford that would let to a student and an unemployed person. It was small, terribly built, and smelled like the burned meat from the shop below. I left on my own, graduated, and never looked back.
There are 2 gunpla on the bedside, which helped me through a rough period. A piece of card protects them from any sunlight that slipped past the shutters. The bed is characteristically unmade, with clothes on top to help me "nest". Beside is a huge crack in the plaster which I named Andy Wallhole.
The room was actually smaller than it appears here, I'm just bad at perspective.

Annika without any clothes. She looks about halfway between how I wanted to look, and what I felt attracted to. I'm particularly happy with the shimmering quality her hair has, and the shape of her body feels very real to me.
