Hey there all! I wanted to start to share some more of my artwork I've been doing after posting some of it in my EVA-Trek fanfic thread.
I actually got back into drawing early last year as a way to boost my creative energies after 2020 sorta kicked my ass, just like everyone else on the damn planet. After a few months of trying to figure out what style I wanted to go with, I got back into watching anime big time, which had a major influence on my drawings ever since. This week, I drew my 268th piece since January, 2021, with no plans to slow down or stop any time soon.
I won't post all of the 268 drawings here, but let me put up a few of my favorites here before this becomes an ongoing thread as I complete new ones.
Drawing #28 / 2021 Artwork # 28: A simple tailor...
Drawing #32 / 2021 Artwork #32: An assortment of my favorite anime pets...
Drawing #33 / 2021 Artwork #33: Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner in TrekToon Adventures...

Drawing #245 / 2022 Artwork #108: Commander Katsuragi catches up with old friends on Deep Space Nine...
A very Trekified grouping of drawings this week after taking a couple weeks off from the franchise. Finally got around to drawing a couple Galaxy-class sets I've been wanting to do for a while.
Drawing #268 / 2022 Artwork #131: My humble rendition of Lt. Ortegas from Strange New Worlds in my style.
Drawing #269 / 2022 Artwork #132: Misato and Gendo in Nerv's observation lounge on the next EVA-Trek.
Drawing #270 / 2022 Artwork #133: Pen-Pen, Hyuga, and Misato relax in Nerv's Ten-Forward.
Drawing #271 / 2022 Artwork #134: A simple drawing of Evangelion's Rei Ayanami, to prove to myself that I can still draw Eva fanart without turning it into a Trek crossover piece. Although, where's the fun in that?
Drawing #272 / 2022 Artwork #135: Nino Nakano from The Quintessential Quintuplets.
Drawing #273 / 2022 Artwork #136: Proving once again that I'm unable to separate Star Trek and Evangelion these days, here's Rutherford from Lower Decks, inspired by a drawing of Rei Ayanami.
Drawing #274 / 2022 Artwork #137: Urushi Yaotome from When Will Auymu Make His Move.
Drawing #275 / 2022 Artwork #138: How it's felt to be a Nebraska football fan in the Scott Frost era. Hell, it's how it's felt for the last twenty years.
Drawing #276 / 2022 Artwork #139: Just a typical day in Shinji's classroom aboard the USS Nerv. This one was a pain in the ass to complete yesterday, taking about seven hours altogether. I kept having to draw and redraw multiple characters to get them to look right. You have no idea how exhausted my eyes were once I wrapped this up.
Drawing #282 / 2022 Artwork #145: Uryuu and Yuna from Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister, a manga that I'm really hoping gets an anime adaption. Consider this drawing an offering to the anime gods to make it happen.
Drawing #283 / 2022 Artwork #146: Akane Hououji from Megami no Café Terrace, which thankfully just got announced for an anime adaption!
Drawing #284 / 2022 Artwork #147: Ensign Tendi from Lower Decks, based off a drawing of Rei from Evangelion.
Drawing #285 / 2022 Artwork #148: Ensign Mariner from Lower Decks, finally completing my portrait collection of the four main characters.
Drawing #286 / 2022 Artwork #149: On this week's EVA-Trek, Misato and Kaji take an Aaron Sorkin-esque walk-and-talk through Nerv's corridors. After doing this piece, the only major TNG set I've got left to draw for the series is the Junior Officer's quarters. I've done the rest of the sets from Stages 8 and 9.
Decided to attempt to draw every day this month... and I'm already regretting that decision, because I'm also having to carve out time to work on scripts for EVA-Trek as well. I ended up missing yesterday's drawing due to the new covid booster wiping me the hell out by lunchtime. So to compensate, I did two drawings today.
Drawing #290 / 2022 Artwork #153: Detective First Class Kiyone Makibi from Tenchi Muyo.
Drawing #291 / 2022 Artwork #154: Hayase Nagatoro from Don't Toy with Me, Nagatoro-san.
