Thank you so much! I'm glad you think so! π
I love drawing biblically accurate angels and peculiar creatures! I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, but I was particularly influenced to draw strange creatures after playing Pikmin, and that kinda stuck with me! Typically what I do is to just draw whatever image is in my head and I'm particularly fond of things with lots of eyes or none of them. Some ideas come from dreams wheras others arise spontaneously. Others come from simply messing around while sketching.
I use Paint Tool Sai 1 for all of my drawings. It's an older program but it's very lightweight and also has a really good pen stabilization and pressure system! I honestly wouldn't trade it for anything else.
Megaman X will always be my fave, still has one of the most difficult end bosses though! I wonder if he beat the game. And I absolutely love that Fireside Angel omg!! I didn't know about it until now but I totally get you and it really is a vibe! π I'm glad you enjoy my art and thank you for showing me that picture too!
I can absolutely imagine these as Pikmin bosses that wipe half my team while I'm desperately blowing my whistle across the arena. Amazing!
Oh my gosh you have no idea how much that means to me seriously π Pikmin was such a formative piece of media to me and I'm so happy you're getting Pikmin vibes from it! Thank you so much!!
Does that mean your Wounded Angel is biblically accurate? Like the Bible describes it as a series of interlocked rings circled by eyes? If so, the old testament (I assume) is wild.
Yup! Ophanim are my fave, I love drawing interlocked rings!
