Character design's my main shtick. I have so many original characters that hopefully you'll be able to find at least one that you like.

Day 26 of my October daily art challenge. Someone requested Bug infesting a person's kitchen. This is why it's important to keep your kitchen clean and not leave food out. Leave a comment or send me a DM if you have any last-minute suggestions before the end of the month!

Day 25 of my October daily art challenge. I got a request for the dragon queen waking up from her beauty sleep. I guess I must've done a pretty good job, because I keep yawning when I look at her lol. Leave a comment or send me a DM with your own suggestions if you have them.

Day 24 of my October daily art challenge. Since Lina's clearly not built for the warrior life, someone suggested she switch to a class that's more her speed, like a sorceress. She's also once again dressed as a game character, but I'm guessing this one's more popular lol.

This is a followup to this art from a couple days ago: bsky.app/profile/ding...

Day 22 of my October daily art challenge. I got an audience suggestion a while back for Lina as a valkyrie. If you recognize who she's dressed as, you get the senior discount lol. Leave a comment or send me a DM if you have a suggestion for what I should draw this month.

Day 23 of my October daily art challenge. Here's the dragon queen celebrating an important holiday...Flat Fuck Friday. If you'd like to squeeze in a suggestion for what I should draw before the end of October, leave a comment or send me a DM!

Day 21 of my October daily art challenge. Here's another shitpost, this time with my newest character, Alice. Please be gentle when handling the vampire girl 🙏 If you'd like to suggest something for me to draw this month, leave a comment or send me a DM!

Day 20 of my October daily art challenge. Another wonderful idea from my beautiful mind. This is why they pay me the big bucks (they don't pay me the big bucks). If you'd like to make your own suggestions for what I should draw this month, leave a comment or send me a DM.

Was busy today, but just made it for day 19 of my October daily art challenge. This is part 3 of the recent series of art I've made of my dragon queen character. Don't worry, she's fine...probably. Leave a comment or send me a DM if you want to suggest something for me to draw.

Day 17 of my October daily art challenge. This is a sequel to yesterday's art. The Queen of Monsters should perhaps choose a sturdier tower to perch atop...or find an alternative method of dispatching all the adventurers that come to slay her that doesn't involve eating them.

Day 18 of my October daily art challenge. Cat Eva's returned, now in loaf form! But is this form's power too great for the mortal world to handle? This was inspired by a silly cat photo I saw recently. If you've got suggestions for what I should draw, leave a comment or DM me.

Day 16 of my October daily art challenge. The Queen of Monsters perches...ever so delicately...atop one of the kingdom's tall towers. From on high, she gazes down upon the lands that...actually she's not gazing at anything. She's just striking a pose to impress the humans below.

Day 15 of my October daily art challenge. This was an audience suggestion for David as Luigi and Eva as King Boo (or I guess Queen Boo in this case). Unfortunately, Eva still can't get David to even pretend to be scared. Leave a comment or DM me with your own suggestions!

Day 14 of my October daily art challenge. Here's another of my characters as a villager from the original Animal Crossing. Roll was another easy one to match with an existing villager species. Funny enough, the hardest part was just finding a reference for the music notes lol.

Day 13 of my October daily art challenge. Eva disguises herself as a cat when people visit the apartment or to go out in public sometimes (she's not too good at turning invisible anymore). But even while disguised, she still manages to get herself into trouble now and then.

Day 12 of my October daily art challenge. I've had the idea for a while to try turning my characters into Animal Crossing villagers from the original game with all (ok, most) of its limitations. Here's Eva and Dawn to start with, since I thought they had a fun dynamic.

I thought the old N64 limitations would make for a fun challenge. Stuff like having to stick to a low poly base model and only use low-res textures for clothes and faces. But I made an exception for rescaling parts of the models for different body types because it felt more fun.

Day 11 of my October daily art challenge. I got an audience suggestion for David and Eva as The Monarch and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch from Venture Bros. I had a lot of fun with this one. If you have a suggestion for what I should draw this month, leave a comment or send me a DM!

Day 10 of my October daily art challenge. I needed a bit of a breather after going so hard for the last few days. So here's a few goofy little Uyos. This one was an audience suggestion. Leave a comment if you'd like to make your own suggestions for what I should draw this month.

Day 9 of my October daily art challenge. This one was partially inspired by how popular my dragon queen character has been recently. She's very popular in her world too...for better or for worse. I hope you all find this dumb joke as funny as I did lol.

Day 8 of my October daily art challenge. This is page 1 of a little 2-page comic. I'm holding off on coloring it until I have both pages done because I always fiddle with my colors at the end to get them just right. The plan is to have the full thing done and posted tomorrow.

Day 7 of my October daily art challenge. I got a request to do that "fat guy with binoculars" meme with Eva. Honestly, trying to match such a cartoonishly exaggerated body shape was more of a challenge than I expected lol. Feel free to comment with your own art suggestions.

Day 6 of my October daily art challenge. Even with all the clouds, the moon is probably still the brightest thing in the sky tonight... This was an audience suggestion for Roll as a witch. And you're welcome to make your own suggestions for what I should draw this month as well.

Day 5 of my October daily art challenge. A lot of you REALLY like the dragon queen. Unfortunately, she's not accustomed to having human admirers. So it's probably best to just admire from afar... Feel free to suggest other things for me to draw this month.

Day 4 of my daily October art challenge. Open your heart for kaiju Chu (or Kaichu, if you will). This one was an audience suggestion for "Chu as a kaiju". If you'd like to suggest something for me to draw this month, just leave a comment or send me a DM.

Day 3 of my daily October art challenge. This is another of my own ideas, this time featuring my dragon queen character (yes, I'm still working on the name lol). I'm also taking audience suggestions for things to draw this month. Just leave a comment or send me a DM.

Day 2 of my October daily art challenge. Roll's going for a more classical look today. This is a dumb idea I've had in my back pocket for a long time lol. But I'm also taking suggestions for things to draw throughout the month as well. Just leave a comment or send it as a DM.

I'm trying something a bit different for this October's art event. I want to work on my output, so this year I'm aiming to post something every day. And I'm taking suggestions as usual, starting with Eva as a boo, suggested by someone who made some cool fan art of her recently.

In the pre-Halloween spirit, I cleaned up and colored the design for my new character, Alice. She's a vampire who became an online celebrity and pretends she's just a cosplayer playing a character so she can "hide in plain sight" and get easy access to blood from her fans.

It's not quite the spooky month yet, but here's a colored sketch of Uyo trying her best to look approachable and make friends. I wanted to experiment with a bunch of different things here, like dynamic posing, dramatic lighting, cel shading, etc. What do you think?

Happy "We Finally Got Details About The Ocarina of Time Remake" day to all who celebrate 🎉 OoT is one of my favorite games of all time, but somehow this is the only OoT art I've done, which is something I really need to fix lol. Maybe the remake will inspire me to draw more.

And the game does kinda look a bit "Nintendo hire this man" at first blush. But I like how they seem to have utilized the stronger hardware to flesh out the characters and environments a lot more. I really hope the non-Hylian races can get more variety in designs/personality too.

I'll withhold judgment until the game comes out and I get to experience it. There've been far too many lazy, misguided, or just disappointing remakes and reboots for me to be optimistic about it. But I'm at least cautiously hopeful and looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I'm always skeptical of remakes. And there are a few things shown in the direct that I'm not quite sold on...like why do smartphone integration but then randomly decide to be purists when it comes to keeping in loading screens? And did they replace the c buttons with an item bar?

Got the urge to replay Advance Wars 1. I did the Advance Campaign and went for the Rivals route, because I hadn't done either before. I ended up S ranking Rivals in the funniest way...by parking a single guy at the end of a long bridge and causing the world's largest traffic jam lmao.

Damn, I didn't expect a simple sketch of Lina to pop off that hard (relative to my other posts on Bsky lol). Guess you really never know what's gonna be a big hit. I think I'll try doing more sketches between big comics and stuff, which'll allow me to post more art and be a bit more consistent.

Remember when I said I need to do more art of Lina and then didn't? I've also noticed I haven't really done much with Lina aside from pinups lately. So I want to at least do some sketches here and there that show off more of her personality and character...starting with this one!

Took the week off from art to relax and organize my reference folders. So this week's update is just a heads up for anyone that may not have seen it that I'm doing a community event where you all can suggest outfits for Eva to wear in future comics/art. Details in the post below.

Dingberg@dingberg.bsky.social

The comic is complete, and a new chapter in Eva and David's story begins. It's also finally time for that fun announcement I teased earlier. Eva's officially an online influencer now...but in reality, you're going to be the ones influencing her. Check the reply thread below for details.

Thanks everyone who came to hang out at the test stream. No major problems with the stream afaik, and I won all my Isaac runs, so overall a decent test run. For the first real stream, I'll try picking a time that's not super late on a weekday lol.

May do a test stream this evening on Twitch to make sure everything works. Maybe play some Binding of Isaac and let chat tell me what to do with my runs lol. I'll make another post with a link to the stream when it happens.

And I've already got the first audience interaction event ready to go! As has been GLARINGLY obvious for a long time, Eva is in DESPERATE need of some new clothes. And what better way to build a new wardrobe than with gifts from her generous fans? More details in the next reply.

All you have to do is send me your suggestions for clothes, accessories, or full outfits (here's some examples). Submit them via a reply anywhere in this thread or DM. I likely won't be able to get to all of them. But if yours doesn't appear in the next comic, it may still appear in something later.

Essentially, you all will be acting as Eva's online followers. I'll come up with ways for you to be involved in how things play out. And I may even incorporate things people say/do outside of the planned events, kind of like when I did my comics based on fan mail from Tumblr.
