He/Him | Adult | Comic Artist & VN Writer I mostly draw art of my own characters! https://zelkova.carrd.co/

A drawing of twin girls eating watermelon
A drawing of a family of five eating ice cream at the beach.
My nine favorite/most influential games, (from left to right, top to bottom): .hack, Persona 2 Innocent Sin, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Fate/Grand Order, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Pokemon Moon, Hamtaro Ham-Ham Heartbreak, Final Fantasy X, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories
A drawing of two characters smiling at each other. Text says: "When It Rains."
A comic of my characters, Mardöll and Holly. Holly is a tiny little shadowy monster guy. Mardöll says "I made you...into a Labubu" and shows him the toy that she's styled to look like him. He is confused and a little repulsed, but in the next panel he is leaning against it with a soft (but still confused) expression. Mardöll looks on from a distance while thinking about a similar video she watched of a baby penguin cuddling with a stuffed animal.
A comic of my character Mardöll being handed a Christmas present by her dad, who is like a 7 foot tall monster man. He says, "Merry Christmas, princess," and then nervously watches as she unwraps it with a stern expression. She pulls a Labubu out of the present box and her face immediately brightens.
A drawing of my characters, Maya and Mardöll surrounded by pokemon. Maya has a Corsola, Munna, and Ditto. Mardöll has a Goomy, Galarian Corsola, and Mimikyu.
A drawing of two characters with text of their names, Mugu and Bo. Mugu is very shy; while Bo is completely deadpan.
A drawing of my character Millie dressed as a vampire, making a playful expression.
The cover of the PS2 game, .hack//INFECTION.
Drawings of my character Sasha modeling 8 different outfits.
A drawing of a two people walking through a subtly fantasy-ish forest.
A drawing of my character, Mardöll eating ice cream. She is glancing down at Holly (who is a little monster guy). He has an expectant expression.
A drawing of a group of my characters posing for a photo at the beach. One of the kids has clearly never done this before and is just standing there rigidly with an uptight expression.
A drawing of a girl knelt down and making small glowing sparkles float above her hand. The child she's showing the sparkles to is gazing in confused amazement.
An art reference for my character, Sofie. She is big and a little bit awkward in a cutesy sort of way.
A drawing of a guy sitting and reading a shoujo manga with sparkles in his eyes
An art reference sheet of my character Holly. All you really need to know is he is kind of a cockroach in personality, and it's reflected in his design.
A drawing of Tenna from Deltarune with his hands on his hips, grinning angrily. In the bottom corner is Tenna & Spamton drawn as little dogs with the caption "sorry."
Drawing of my little guy with a froggy little smile. Text reads: "Undertale helped me realize just how silly, yet somber I could be with my own writing. That I could make something 'overly' sincere, yet might still resonate with others."
A drawing of my characters, Emily and Amelia, standing in front of the ocean. They are smiling and waving little flags, as if they're posing for a photo. Emily is very embarassed.
A drawing of a father and mother holding their twin children. One of the kids is yanking on her dad's ear.
A sprite sheet of my character, Aster. There's like 30 of him making various expressions. The tiny text in the top left corner says, "welcome to the hall of aster..."
A comic page of my two characters, Jack and Maestro. Maestro is kneeling down talking to Jack. Maestro says, "If I didn't know better, I'd think you were here to read!" They then pause in thought for a moment. "...Are you curious about this place? Is that it?" Jack cocks his head in confusion. A book floats down magically off a shelf into Maestro's hand as they continue, "Jack, this is a library, you see! Each book here has a story; each story is a glimpse into another world."
A comic preview with two kids and a teenager reading a book. The text reads: "Not Here, Not Anywhere. A TMatM Prequel Story, Part Three." There is a collage of random comic panels in the background.
A continuation of the comic. Reed has taken the popped ball to an adult, Baset, to fix. Neither of them are particularly fond of each other. "You better bring jerky next time you visit..." Baset grumbles angrily as he sews the hole shut. Reed replies sweatily, "Yes sir! Thank you, sir!" Baset adds, "AND steak!" Reed counters, "I'm a ten-year-old with no income, sir!" Baset just makes indistinct angry noises in reply. Reed shouts, "I'll find a way, sir!!"
First panel of a comic with two kids, my characters Reed and Aster. Noteworthy that Aster has cow horns, ears, and a tail. Reed is holding a ball, while Aster frantically waves saying: "Reed! Pass it to me! I'm open!! I'll catch it this time, I swear!!!" With a slightly annoyed smirk Reed thinks, "Who else would I even pass it to."
A drawing of two women in witch attire looking towards the camera.
A drawing of my character, Aster trying on a witch hat. It is probably relevant to mention that he is five and the hat was clearly meant for an adult. It covers over half his face, with the accompanying text: "Perfect Fit."
A drawing of a very sad guy
A 3x3 grid of little pixel character profiles. They contain information like pronouns and DnD-like stats, along with little personality blurbs. Character info (left to right, top to bottom): Chris - A rude and stubborn amnesiac. He actually does mean well. James - Uptight goody-goody is a look he's intentionally curating. 100% mom friend. Jay - Depressed and repressed. Speaking style feels like a computer that's low on RAM. Millie - Tends to experience emotions in extremes or not at all. Will fight you. Lena - Spunky gamer girl. Typing that out physically hurt me. Jack - A normie forcing himself to be a bully. Unfortunately fairly good at it. Emily - 1% evil, 99% hot gas. Really wants you to hate her, for some reason. Amelia - Stepford Smiler. Really wants you to like her, for some reason. Kade - Free-spirited loner. Doing trust-falls with them isn't recommended.
The moment Piemi was talking about Aldis building a snow angel, but it shows Eliane's internal monologue instead. Her face is placid, but her thoughts read, "Uh wait, shit... Did I...swear in front of him a minute ago...?? No, there's no way... I would have definitely noticed the moment I messed up... So why does it feel like I did?? It's been so long since I last fucked up on that, there's no way I-- No, I definitely said, 'goddamn'...GODDAMMIT!!"
A drawing of my character Eliane dressing her son Aldis in winter clothes. She says, "Aldis if you still get cold even with four layers on I'm going to eat both of my shoes."
Doodles of my characters, Piemi and Eliane. In the bottom right drawing, Piemi says, "I need you to eat all the (live) slugs in this jar...For science," with a plain expression that suggests this was a very normal request to make. Eliane glares daggers at her as she speaks, then proceeds to smush Piemi's face with both hands. The text beneath Piemi reads: "Genuinely has no idea why this is happening."
Doodles of my two characters, James and Millie hanging out with each other. In one drawing, James is very obviously struggling to give Millie a piggyback ride (because he's only a little bit taller than her). She is clearly enjoying herself. In another drawing, she is hiding behind him while glaring daggers at whoever's in front of them.
A drawing of my characters, Piemi and Eliane. Eliane is princess carrying Piemi and wearing a scowl, while Piemi makes sparkle eyes at her. Eliane leans in and kisses her on the cheek. The background is full of cutesy hearts, with the word "LUV."
A drawing of my characters, Stoke, Mimi, and Leila. The two older sisters are helping Mimi stand (because she's a baby). She is ecstatically holding their hands.
First panel of a comic. The textbox reads: "I got into houseplants a few years ago..." accompanied by a drawing of me proudly holding up a tiny plant in the palm of my hand. The background text reads: "I didn't want to do Hourly Comic Day but I wanted to do something like it"
A reference sheet for my character Aster, who is a little boy with cow ears, horns, and a tail. The side text reads: "Cape optional (it's like his security blanket)"
A collage of doodles of the characters Ingo and Emmet from Pokemon. Most notable points are that Emmet named his Joltiks "Emmet Jr" and "Emmet 2;" as well as him saying: "Someone will die-" while Ingo claps his hand over Emmet's mouth in a panic and says, "OF FUN!!"
A screencap of my website, with a visual list of characters from my story.
A drawing of a shy-looking stage magician with a magic wand raised, creating sparks in the air. The text in the background reads: "The show must go on!"
A drawing of my characters Piemi and Eliane in wedding attire with the text "Just Married" above them.
A robot fairy girl in the dark. Her wings are illuminating the giant flowers surrounding her as she looks forward with curiosity.
The first panels of a comic involving a little girl, Lena, and Maestro, who is basically her dad. As Maestro sits at his desk working, she leans up and asks, "Hey, can I get the latest Xbox for Christmas??" With a subdued expression he replies, "...I will give it some thought." The next panel she says, "Yaaaaaaaaaaay" and begins skipping away with a huge smile while humming. Maestro stiffens in embarrassment, "I said I'd GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT! It's NOT set in stone?!" But also she does is say "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" again, as if she knows the Xbox is all but guaranteed at this point.
A drawing of a Final Fantasy viera wearing a green santa outfit and glowering about it. Surrounding them is a festive wreath and text that is intentionally misspelled as "Season's Greason's."
A comic involving my two characters, Evelyn and Sasha. Evelyn, wearing a Santa outfit, has Sasha sitting on her knees. With a big smile she says, "Now tell Santa, have you been naughty or nice this year?" The text box indicates he is 31 years old. In the next panel, he blushes slightly and replies, "Wh...What happens if I say 'naughty'..."
A drawing of my character Evelyn wearing a Santa-ish outfit. To the side is Mardöll, a little girl who is tearing the arms off her newly gifted bear toy with a soft expression. The image is designed like a gacha character illustration, with the text "SSR" in the corner and 5 stars at the bottom.
A drawing of a little boy and a teenage girl decorating a small pine tree outside with Christmas decorations. Their names are Aster and Elysha.
A continuation of the previous comic. Piemi and Eliane are now lying in bed together. The mood is awkward. Piemi sits up angrily, "Okay, this SUCKS actually!!"
The first panel of a comic involving my two characters, Piemi and Eliane. The title at the top reads "Unplanned overnight stay." Piemi raises a pink frilly outfit in the air, "I found some old pajamas I think will fit you!"
A drawing of Maestro and Lena. Maestro is holding a bag of Xbox Game Pass Doritos and Mountain Dew Code Red. Maestro says, "I've brought the (clears throat) 'Gamer Fuel.' Though, if you do actually eat the doritos, I will have to insist you wash the cheese dust off your hands before handling the controller again!" He pauses, then adds quietly, "Y...you were recording what I said just now, weren't you?" Lena replies while still looking down at her phone. "It's my new notification chime!" He simply says, "I... I see." Small "Gamer Fuel" chimes can be heard coming out of her phone repeatedly.
A comic involving my characters Maestro and Lena. Necessary context that Maestro is basically her dad. Lena approaches Maestro with her hands on her hips, "Hey! You promised to play games with me today!" Maestro pulls up a copy of Animal Crossing, "Oh not to worry! I haven't forgotten." Lena wags her finger with a grin. "Uh-uh! I've let you pick what game we're playing the last three times!" She pulls out a copy of Resident Evil Village. "Today we play...a REAL video game." The comic panel zooms in on the intense guy glaring on the cover. Maestro gulps. The scene changes to a dark room where Lena is playing the game with a huge smile on her face, while Maestro is sitting in wide-eyed fear with his hands cupped over his mouth.
Sequential drawings of my characters Lena, Jay, and Jack. Lena rolls up Jay's shirt sleeves so that they'll match with Jack's, causing Jack to clutch his chest.
Various beach-themed drawings of my characters Piemi and Eliane with their son, Aldis.
A comic where all the speech bubbles are blacked out except for when the word "diarrhea" appears.
A drawing of my characters Piemi and Eliane wearing wedding attire while holding hands. The text reads: "Just Married."
A comic with my character Aldis, holding his sleeping daughter Mimi. He is writing in a journal. The text reads: "How nice it would be...if I had a book on hand, that could fill you in on all the things you've missed since then. So I think that's how I'm going to use this. ...I hope that someday, you'll get to read it."
A collection of blank speech bubbles.
A drawing of my characters Stoke and Aldis walking through the woods at sunset. They are being watched by a small forest creature in the bottom left corner.
