Sketchbook Shoutouts – 41

Three more shoutouts for my Private Collectors! I’d finished rewatching the original Trigun back in 2022 and boy, it’s so incredible! I’m so glad I got to draw some Vash. I also love drawing folks’ OCs for these requests, it’s so fun seeing how other people make characters.

Every month that someone’s pledged to my Private Collector tier on Patreon, they get an inked request that appears in my monthly sketchbook The request acts as mini commissions and folks can ask for their OCs, my OCs, or any kind of fanart.

January 2024 Lupin Weekly Art Prompts

Rectangular image of a grey scale drawing. Zenigata is at his desk without his coat or hat, just in a tie and button-up shirt doing paper work. He’s holding a fancy looking fountain pen in his right hand and answering like someone just asked him about it. He says “Oh, my pen? It just showed up on my desk one day. I don’t know the name, but it fits in my hand perfectly and it never skips!” to the right of Zenigata is a narration bubble that reads “Zenigata is unaware that his “every day” pen is actually a Nakaya Tamesukashi, worth $2583.00” under this is a little chibi head of Lupin winking with his tongue out.

I started hosting the weekly art prompts over on lupiniii.club which has been really fun! I’ll post them weekly over there, then make a compilation post to post every where else.

January 15th: The gang gets the wrong rental car

Okay if you haven’t seen the pea car, you need to see the pea car! Also excited to really do all the weekly prompts in a similar way to how I did all my advent calendar ones.

January 22nd: Zenigata’s favourite pen

I went with a fountain pen because, like I said, I’m a big pen nerd! I did some looking in to old Japanese pens. It was tough to pick between Zenigata having a really shitty pen, or a stupid expensive one. In the end I went with this one.

Lupin Canon vs. Headcanon

Saw this template on twitter a while back and had to try my hand at it! It’s very fun style matching, especially since I’m doing that for my day job right now.

I drew my version first then tried to match various Lupin styles that inspire me and put the characters in the same pose/expression.

Give it a try, it’s a fun challenge!

Lord of the Makas

A square image of a drawing, showing Darumaka as the Eye of Sauron, also done in a traditional colouring style.

Had been working on this one for a little while. I’d drawn the Gandalf right before my wrist issues last year and a lot of my personal drawing had been put on pause. A few months ago I felt good enough to come back to it, since I don’t normally colour art traditionally, it took a while but it’s DONE!

I’m really happy with how this turned out. I’m such a big LOTR fan so I had to do a crossover!

Lupin Advent Calendar 2023 Days 16-24

The last 9 Advent Calendar drawings I did based on prompts posted over at lupiniii.club and what a fun event that was! It felt a lot like when I’d do inktober every year, which I do kinda miss. So many I’ll do another Advent Calendar for 2024!
