Messsnower Week 12
Some quadrupedal birds, landscape and coins concept art

Messsnower Week 11.
Mostly some little stuff and a tribute to a famous painting by J C Leyendecker but with Casey and Bobby

Messsnower Week 10
Some more concept art stuff and a little fanart for Look Outside

As i'm posting this, all 13 weeks of Messsnower have been done. Might take some time to post them online, knowing my speed, but if you're interested to see them early, they're up on my discord server (link to which can be found on Itchio pages of ELoNR and Casey)

Messsnower Week 9
A Pathologic 2 Fanart and some concept art stuff from work on ELoNR stuff

The first non-messsnower art of 2026 is a commission for @scribblekit.bsky.social and @manedjackal.bsky.social.
Really happy with how the environment shaped out in this one. Always miss working on comms like this after a while

Casey Noir and Carved Pumpkin's Latte on Steam What's this? A Point and Click, "Who Done It?", Murder Mystery Visual Novel, set in a Gothic Hotel on top of a lonely hill, during the Night of Halloween?

For the beginning of the 3rd week of Messsnower, I did a scene of a bunch of OCs of @sitaart.bsky.social hanging out in a cafe

Messsnower Week 8 became another themed one
And the theme?
"What if Oranges had Coffins in them?"

Was quite busy during Messsnower Week 7, so decided to go for more minimalistic arts during it, with them shaping up to be a "week of shadows," as if to say.

My first ever published comic is available for order online! Consider picking it up there or if you'll see it at a convention in a wild, if you're interested in my works

Messsnower Week 6 was kinda feeling down due to serious internet troubles, so didn't do much impressive stuff but enjoyed making another trio of Koi Koi card designs

When Kevin sees a giant flying fish, he reaches out to a friend, describing it hoping their art will depict the fish, but he has no luck. He tries drawing it himself, starting a journey of self-discovery. Grab "Muse with Aquamarine Scales" by @nikrouz.bsky.social fenrispublishing.com/product.php?...

Had a bunch of internet issues following my complaining about internet.

So here's the Week 5 of Messsnower.

A gift fanart of the modded darkest dungeon character - matriarch, some concept art and a character design for an edutainment mascot

and Messsnower Week 4 Arts 1 and 3

Messsnower Week 4 Art 2
Some familiar faces

Messsnower Week 3 Arts 2 and 3 are mostly concept and asset art for various projects

Took it easier the rest of the week, so second art is a Fear and Hunger x Night in the Woods x Disco Elysium shitpost and the third is a rendition of mine for another art of Eijin Suzuki, an artist strongly associated with the Japanese City Pop genre

But yeah, another excuse to work on ELoNR's steam release stuff. This won't be the final version of animation, but I think it gives a good idea of what I'm going for here nevertheless

Wanted to spend more time on the first "art" of the messsnower's second week but due to combo of power outages and poor time management, I'll call it an end for this one here.

For those interested to read the play, you can find it at page 168 here suburbanwitchcraft.com/issue10

An art gift for Chase, based on their play about Northern gods - Eostre, including (from left to right): Idunn, Osterhase, and Eostre herself

This is among many WIPs of the big ELoNR thingy I mentioned during its last anniversary. Figured there isn't much point to be secretive. I suck at promoting my works as is. Expect ELoNR related arts during Messnower and onward. Hoping to do interesting stuff with ELoNR when it'll come to Steam

Really enjoyed cleaning the line art of the background on this one. part of why I spend as much time on cleaning line art as I do, is 'cause I can be more comfortable with coloring

I might post the arts out of chronological order. Some will be posted one at a time, some in sets of 3-4 and I may skip posting others 'cause I won't feel like they're good enough. If you want to see all arts in real time, visit my discord server. You can find it on the itchio pages of my games.
