Hello! I figured I should start showing my Xeno art in a dedicated thread. Ideally, I update it when I get a new Xeno piece done, with some commentary. I will be using the WIP thread for WIP stuff (I hope that's okay). Whenever there will be a general art thread or fanart gallery I will make sure to post there. To make sure my art falls within the Forum's Rules, I won't be posting any art that is beyond the suggestive limits of the Teen Rating from ESRB (I don't draw much NSFW, but there definitely are some pieces that crosses the lines of T-ratings).

I will also be answering any art related questions and requests, so feel free to ask anything! If I get a lot of similar questions, I will make some sort of FAQ in the first post.
Obvious spoilers ahead for all Xeno games!!!

I haven't worked much on any fanart recently, after dropping my monolibrary project, but I want to at least show a couple old pieces I've done as a half baked portfolio. All pictures have been resized to 200px in width with auto-height for portrait, vice-versa for landscape. Please tell me if there is an image amount/size total limit in this forum, I don't want to overload the servers with heavy images, I can compress or have a link redirect later down if I'm asked to.

2021・JAN・21 "Shion wearing Mythra's clothes." - I was trying some brushes and a more cartoon-ish art style, and uhhh I don't really remember why it ended up being Shion wearing Mythra's clothes really. Also I'm preparing to draw the reverse, because someone commissioned me to do so.

2020 "MONOLIBRARY PROJECT"

temporary covers. (tho that monado thing I did was real nice ngl, was supposed to add a custom kanji in the middle)

Back in early 2020, I kickstarted a small art collection which would contain 19 illustrative pieces for Xenoblade 1, X and 2 (one or two released each month).
I had to drop it because of IRL issues, so most pieces ended up unfinished or left as sketches. Below you can see some of the finished pieces. I wouldn't mind getting back into it (especially if I get financial incentive cos that was 100% free for people), but I also have a new art collection project coming soon to cover Xenogears and Xenosaga 👀.​

2020・JAN・19 "Melia Sweater." - I don't actually remember the reason behind this one.

2020・FEB・19 "Mythra β" - part of a raffle, was asked to draw one of Mythra's early concepts depicted in the XB2 Alrest Records Artbook.

2020・APR・01 "Juju's Day" - for context, many Xeno artists on twitter posted a bunch of Juju fanart on April first like a hive mind, might happen this year again wink wink.

2020・APR・04 "Female Zanza" - self explanatory title, I wanted to have fun, it's also my most ambitious painting ever, probably (monado 100% pain to make btw)...

MONOLIBRARY section ends here (there are more pieces, like a Sheba, Lin, Celica ones but I'm quite the lazy one to pull all of them and some need to be cropped anyway).

2019・DEC "Blade OC Liam" - fun project of mine where I created a Blade OC (OC standing for original character) for Xenoblade 2, creating mockups and even a pseudo quest to obtain her. (Btw Liam is an anagram of miel :)) - more pictures in this artsation link.

That's it for now! Unfortunately I do not have a place in social media where I exclusively post Xeno art, so I can't really say to look at my work or buy it somewhere else, because it's mixed in with my personal works. If you do want to commission me, feel free to ask me I'll hand out the links. As for requests, do not worry! I will make some polls really soon as to which next xeno piece I should work on, and I will be taking any ideas in the upcoming months.
 
These are really hecking gorgeous!! Thank you so much for sharing them.

This looks really amazing and the effort really shows. Anytime an artist pulls off that 'lineless but clean painted anime' look it blows my mind.

I also really dig how you draw folds and lines on bodies in general. Everything has a very defined shape!

This is the general art board, so feel free to post anything you feel like posting! We have a separate board for Xeno fanart, if you'd like I can move this thread to that and you can make a separate promo thread for your personal/original work. Or you can just keep adding to this thread. Either is fine by me so let me know your preference!~

Ahhh, I didn't really pay attention. If it is possible to move it over, I'd like so yes! That way I can make a separate promo thread for my original works.

Thank you all for the kind comments!!!

YOOOO this is legit 👌

Sweater Melia is something I never knew I needed in my life but I'm glad she is 😍

Shion in Mythra's outfit is too cute, you have a great style! Liam could fit right into Xenoblade 2 as a megalance blade!

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future! ^.^
