One of my homegirls encouraged me to design her as practice. And so I took full creative liberty lol
I’m open to commission if anyone’s interested!

It’s been a long time comin’…but I’ve been officially working on my first one-shot! Using it more of a way to introduce myself to the world as a comic artist & writer ✍🏽
Stay tuned!

A self-portrait of artist, Thinz, aggressively drawing at his desk…he’s quite angry…probably needs coffee.
Sheesh it’s been a minute… I’ve been alive & well, just EXTREMELY locked into projects. Here’s a doodle of what that looks like 🙃

A female agent-like character in a scifi city jumping in the air, holding a futuristic great sword, & waving while saying “Hi!”
Close-up of the character
Scanned-in sketch of the character
“Hiii~” | Really tryna tap into my Square Enix bag with this one. Took inspo from a collection of FF character designs and designs from Nier: Automata, especially when it came to the sword ✍🏽

The process [ pt. 2 ]
I really enjoying taking the traditional route of cel shaded character & painting-like backgrounds. Much room for improvement but anywho…yall enjoy!

The process [ pt. 1 ]
I was so intimidated drawing a background entirely digital but after some tutorials & simply plowing loose with my pen I got the hang of it! It’ll show in pt. 2

A lone sniper rifleman sitting on the road railing surrounded by post apocalyptic city rubble
Close up of the rifleman
Traditional scan-in of the rifleman
Unblurred version of the background
“Lonesome.”
Aimed for a much more eerie & desolate atmosphere with this pin-up. It’s certainly not easy drawing rubble but for my first attempt I’d say I did pretty well! Yet another great learning experience ✍🏽

Neo-Japanese ninja jumping through building debris & laser beams
Close up of the ninja
Full view of the background. Everything was drawn from scratch on my iPad through procreate
Traditional sketch of the ninja character
“War front.”
Finally took a crack at a proper background! It’s not perfect but I got the job done. Definitely necessary to bring all my fundamentals full circle for my comic work 🎥🎬✍🏽

2 male characters that were based off 2 lions eating a human carcass. There’s blood on both of their mouths
Close up of the first lion-inspired character. He has braided hair & a paw emblem on his collar
2nd lion-inspired character who’s crouched over the carcass. He has beige highlights in his hair as well as his complexion purposely having a yellowish tint to resemble that of a lion
The traditionally painted version of the piece
If it wasn’t already noticeable, the tone of my work is VERY dark. It’ll only get more chaotic & twisted in a Tatsuki Fujimoto manner with hints of Yoko Taro….I wear my influences on my sleeve ✍🏽⏳

Exorcists sometimes have to be devils themselves in order to hunt. “The Fractured” are no average exorcists…but I’ll get into that later. Practicing a certain tone 🎬

“So the hunt begins…” | What was once meant for an age-old inktober turned into a completely new artistic direction. When in doubt, make it cinematic 🎥🎬

This is the original drawing done with traditional media (gouache paint & micron pens)
Sci-fi-fantasy is my cup of tea. Here’s a character design that captures that! Some of my influences are Blade Runner, IRobot, Akira, & Square Enix titles
