Okay so I’m getting back to my neglected wips: (slight update on the art nouveau piece, still trying to figure out Shion *aaah*)

#kiawip #kiaart #kiaoc

Mysterious Swordsman sticker design for Fanfest 2026. Duskwight Elezen male in scouting gear on Viper job class wielding level 98 crafted weapons.

Everything was finished last night — @silver-streak.games made some additional elements to the sticker design and has already sent it off.

#kiaart #ffxiv

Sparkly!

Behold.

#kiaart #kiaoc #ffxivfanfest

finished lineart of Silver's Mysterious Swordman alt

god jesus christ and then five spleens and maybe half a kidney:

this has been the most insane art I've pulled off for @silver-streak.games

2025 Gateway Fanfest sticker of GNB Kiandra

This sticker has a particular error; forgot Kiandra's aether scar. PLD edition

previous Kiandra stickers:

#kiaart #ffxiv #kiaoc

Since Seiji was kidnapped for five years, an extremely annoyed Sakura has his ponytail in her hand. “You owe me five years of child support!” Tsubaki has nothing to say about the situation.

A really quick sketch of this scene stuck in my head. Tsubaki is speechless at how ridiculous her parents are.

#kiaart #fanart #yoroishindensamuraitroopers #yoroidensamuraitroopers #kiaoc

Completed picture of the Fanfest sticker, dancer Kiandra in Neo Ishgard of Aiming gear set (boots are from Far Eastern Maiden, gloves are ???) and Edenmorn Chakrams with Mephina’s earring visible. The butterfly hair clip is from the Garo crossover.

All done!!! The Fanfest sticker design is good to go!

#kiaart #kiaoc #ffxiv

Mostly done with a dancing spriggan. Need to finish the chakrams and the coloring will start then this gets yeeted off for stickers!

Yet another update before I crash for the night.

#kiaart #kiaoc #ffxiv #wip

More progressing on Kiandra dancer sticker for fanfest trade

Another update, this is definitely locked in, gonna have to figure out how to shove the spriggan in

#kiaart #kiaoc #ffxiv #wip

Wip of the newest fanfest sticker design (i am not asspulling, I promise. The design was in my head but trapped behind all the yst art that leaked out)

#kiaart #kiaoc #ffxiv #wip

Sakura in her civvies, 3/4 sleeve v-cut pink top with black capri pants nad black flats. She still has her golden quartz sphere necklace and now sports two sets of pierced ears as well a pair of cat-eye glasses. Slightly shorter hair which is manageable.

Updated look for Sakura. She doesn't have wrinkles (because I apparently don't have any despite being 43, go figure) but added in glasses

#kiaart #kiaoc

The troopers confused at a very blonde Tsubaki. Although, Shion is looking rather smug/unsurprised as if he’s known about that all this time.

A quick sketch because I haven’t done one of those in a long time where I’d draw troopers making various faces.

Now with YSST flavor.

#kiaart #kiaoc #yoroishindensamuraitroopers

A guy posing with Arago’s foot in the background. No, the context doesn’t make sense and it’ll be difficult to explain without the Elephant Foot

Okay so anyway I have had thoughts

(Mortal of the story: when Kia has thoughts, art happens)

#kiaart #yoroidensamuraitroopers

There are multiple pictures of Arago drawn over the years, holy crap. 27 layers in this picture alone!

It's done. This is like, almost every single damn picture of Arago I've drawn.

#kiaart #fanart #yoroidensamuraitroopers

a collection of various Arago artwork over the years

I'm not even done

this is so much Arago holy crap

#kiaart #wip

You know, Shin’s always had a knife on his armor and never used it until now. HE’S GOT A BIRTHDAY CAKE TO CUT.

Happy birthday, Shin! (Now actually put that knife to use!)

#kiaart #fanart #yoroidensamuraitroopers #mourishin #suikonoshin

Ignore the date, this is just several new layers to showcase what Tsubaki would look like in DST’s school uniform. Her hair is “shorter” and back to her original color (blonde). Eye color has been slightly updated/tweaked.

…updated Tsubaki’s right eye to make it a little closer color-wise

But also designed her appearance in the DST school uniform (colors might not be exact)

…needless it should go without saying that she’s almost unrecognizable without her pink hair.

#kiaoc #kiaart

"What do I draw???" in pencil in 1997

"What the f do I draw?!" (note you can see that I didn't even bother with inking in the full curse word) drawn in Krita in 2022

time honored tradition of "what the hell do I draw" going on since the 90's

this has not even improved in the slightest even across physical and digital mediums

#kiaart

A process with Tsubaki in mucha stylization

Even more Mucha stylization

Now trying to draw a kneeling Shion and wanting to eat my keyboard

Accidentally started new wip instead of you know, finshing the older wips -_-

#kiaart #kiaoc #fanart #wip

Samurai troopers trying to cook turkey. Seiji is somehow not present in this picture? (He's probably trying to steal a pumpkin)

Forced to stop scanning because I ran out of sheet protectors for my artwork but it's incredible with these finds:

#kiaart #yoroidensamuraitroopers #fanart

Kia Purity sitting on some sort of hill (or earth?) being over the moon happy for the dvds with the troopers making various expressions.

RIP Suncoast. The one place where I got all my DVDs from. Wufei is here for some reason. Kia Purity is rendered as camping out for the dvds.

Kia Purity finding out about DVD release date, being so happy with "wai~" written in hiragana Superdeformed trooper faces.

By the way, there's exactly three artwork pieces of me being hysterically happy over the DVD release.

Later, I would be slightly disappointed to learn that there was no subs/captions for the dub dialogue. But that didn't matter because I had subs for YST!

#kiaart #yoroidensamuraitroopers #fanart

SD/Chibi Ryo as a ninja with a throwing star in his hand

a snippet of super deformed/chibi Ryo dressed up as ninja with "l33t ninja ryo"

...how many times has fate laughed at me by now with all my art pieces...?

Yoroi Shinden Samurai Troopers undergear armor study because it’s very different and it’s making my muscle memory go insane with trying to draw

YST subarmor flavor with Sakura in pink/white version.

Finished my study of YSST’s undergear which has a great deal more details/lines compared to YST’s sub-armor =_=

The only immediate comparison I have is with Sakura’s reference which I drew from memory… go muscle memory!!

#kiaart #kiaoc #artstudy

For some reason I chose to draw Gai in his under gear with a fish in his mouth. Fish does not look happy. Somewhere, Musashi is sharpening his knives.

If you know that image of girl with fish in her mouth

kind of did a redraw with Gai with fish in his mouth (would probably make more sense if it was a weird flavored ramen box in his mouth instead)

#kiaart #fanart #yoroishindensamuraitroopers #gaiofheat

Naaza and Rajura dressed very nicely while Anubisu looks like he crawled out of a trash can

I haven’t drawn the Masho in a while and I came up with a stupid skit idea:

Prince Naaza, even more princely Rajura, and Anubisu who crawled out of a trash can

#kiaart #fanart #yoroidensamuraitroopers #rajura #naaza #anubisu

Byakuen/White Blaze wearing a tie. No reason.

Kia Purity threatening to eat a hat if Gai isn’t a Sanada. The new show seems to like to show closeup of Gai’s eyes and that is a very particular shade of blue isn’t it?

you get two quick sketches from me today regarding YSST

#kiaart #fanart #yoroishindensamuraitroopers #yoroidensamuraitroopers

A couple wearing kimono among the cherry blossoms. One is Seiji and the other is Sakura. This is supposed to be of them as older adults.

I thought I’d draw slightly older Seiji and Sakura together.

#kiaart #kiaoc #fanart #kiaartwork #yoroidensamuraitroopers #seijidate

Gai throws a muppet of himself at Ramaga because if Ramaga wants a puppet so badly…

After that episode… well. Gai has a solution for Ramaga.

#yoroishindensamuraitroopers #kiaart #kiaartwork #fanart

Art from 1999, a comic about Arago eating lemons and everyone noping out

look I can make this joke run for decades

(note this is using RW dub names)
