May 2023 sketch previews! Anime Expo preparations. (Patreon)

Hey! I wanted to share some rough drafts for some new designs that I'm working on.
Anime Expo is coming up, and I realized I have an abundance of stickers, charms, and standees, but what I could really use are some new prints! So that's my focus for right now.
I'm aiming to make about 4 new prints, including 2 new One Piece pinups (to match the Nami and Robin prints), A Spider-Man animated poster, and a Metal Gear Solid 1 poster. I've got a bunch of other designs sketched too, but these are the 4 that I feel like working on the most at the moment. That could change later.
You can get a look at my current process: I do a very rough sketch to get the general idea, then I use clip studio's 3D modeler to work out the poses. Then I flatten them, adjust the proportions some more, and begin the final rough sketch with the proper character proportions.
I've also started working on a Yamato standee and some more Sonic stickers. I've actually been meaning to make more of these classic-style sonic stickers for a long time now. I don't think I'll print all of them right away though. Maybe for now, I'll just finish up Tails, Knuckles, Eggman, and Shadow.
I also have some other secret work that needs to get done this month. That's gonna be my main focus, but I'll try and get all of these done before mid-June so I can have them printed for Anime Expo. They'll all wind up in the online store after AX.
