I haven't read it 🫣 I have heard this comparison before, though

Thanks for all the new follows! If you're interested in Project Margrave, I'd love if you stopped by my Discord. It's got references for all the characters + mechs, plus an illustrated prologue dropping very, very soon! discord.gg/margrave

THANK YOU 🥹 this is so so stylish and inspiring

I took a stab at drawing Ester from @apdoodles.bsky.social upcoming comic #PROJECTMARGRAVE

Wizard, his maid, and his wife

A robotic Arc-Synth lies peacefully in a coffin full of roses. She has long, wavy hair that partially obscures her face. Her eyes are are shut, but a bright green core within her chest still glows with eerie energy.

The illustrated prologue for my GL mecha comic, #PROJECTMARGRAVE, is coming soon! Please stay tuned 😉

Digital drawings in a sketchy style reminiscent of watercolor and pencil. In one doodle, Toshiaki wears a white tank top with blue aviator sunglasses hooked onto the shirt in front of his chest. In the doodle underneath it, Axellion also wears a white tank top and aviator sunglasses (perched on his head) while flashing a peace sign and grinning. In the largest doodle on the right, Axellion wears a cute black and purple outfit with a blue heart locket (inspired by an outfit in Tomodachi Life) while winking and smiling.

Toshiaki and Axellion outfit doodles... I'm excited for Tomodachi Life's release so that I can play with Miis of my characters while I work on drawing Volume 2 #bladeofseafoam

thank you!!

Illustration of two mechs, the BX-721 "Desperado" and RD-111 "Corvus" standing back-to-back. Their builds are similar, as they're both based on the same technology - they're slim and lithe, with angular, birdlike faces. The two are sworn enemies, but posing them together is fun.

Illustration of the MX-000 "Margrave," an imposing mech with ten arms. It is colored a stark white, black, and red, with turquoise beam emitters in each palm that crackle with energy. Beside it is a short background of its creation: "Developed by the Reingardt Institute with the blessing of House Lisianthus, the MX-000 “Margrave” is Au Galida’s last chance to reconquer the Ingram Union. It fights using ten palm-mounted emitters that produce beams of strange energy. Exposure to this energy has been known to cause adverse psychological effects."

Illustration of Lady Liatris's BX-888α "Monarca Absoluta" in flight. True to her namesake, Liatris's mech is purple and lavender, with a large armored booster cowl that allows it to fly. It fires a gatling gun from its wrist to intercept incoming projectiles while launching a salvo of its own shoulder-mounted missiles.

Illustration of Mother and Father, the heads of the Reingardt Institute. They wear black and gray robes that cover their whole bodies, crowned with ornate golden masks. Their masked faces resemble the heads of Dragoons, with angular beaks and thin eyes. Beside them is a short history of the Institute: From the ashes of the Petal War rose the Reingardt Institute: a secretive cabal of alchemists and machinists led by two towering, masked entities known only as Mother and Father. They wear the robes of the Consorts, those detestable occultists whose avarice destroyed the old Republic. At present they are sheltered by Duke Lisianthus, who insists that they alone have the knowledge needed to reclaim the Republic’s lost glory. Their obsession is singular: a new, perfect Dragoon, coursing with supernatural power: the MX-000 “Margrave.”

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm apdoodles. I draw mechs and techno-cultists for my original series, Project Margrave! I'm also
secretly hoping you'll read the lore blurbs in these illustrations 😉

Fanart of Noriko Takaya and the Gunbuster from Gunbuster.

Fanart merch design of the Wing Gundam (Endless Waltz version) as an acrylic keychain. The buster rifle shot is a pullable mechanism that makes the wings move up and down.

Cover art for Volume 1 of Blade of Seafoam, featuring the protagonist Toshiaki Mizushima standing in the ocean while the XG-01 Bhairava mech rises from the ocean in the background.

Fanart of Steel Haze from Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubcion. In the background, Steel Haze Ortus is visible as a cloud of smoke.

Hey, I'm Diurnal, and I'm an illustrator/comic artist/merch designer. I'm currently creating a mecha comic called "Blade of Seafoam". I like giant robots a very normal amount.

I'm open for both private and commercial commissions if you have a cool project in mind!

👨‍👩‍👧

“Ser Nele-Sin, of the House of Dust” “Lucifer-Class NHP” An extremely tall, extremely lanky Subaltern which resembles a doll stands centered in the image. Nele has their tail coiled around the framing box of their image, its blade pointed upward. Their hand is in a beckoning gesture, their three amber eyes glowing against their dark skin and peering through their pale veil of heat-sink hair.
