    uniE621 Dethrone
    This one was designed to illustrate that you don't need to be the best at something to get the win. Even the pawns can overcome the rest of the pieces on the board if they're set up properly. Its a message you can apply to all aspects of life. digitalillustrator graphicdesigner logo anime y2k darkart posers tshirt illustrator flyer 2dart procreate positivemessage positivity…

    Another anime fan art I did for one of my posters. This one was super time consuming and drawing that many hands was weird for me but still fun. No deep meanings here!

    uniE621 Self help
    This was a negative depiction of self help that I drew, original from the ground up. It's actually a positive meaning to me and hopefully it is to you too. The other meaning I give to a lot of my art is to not judge a book by its cover. graphicdesign digitalillustration illustration illustrator designer graphicdesigner branding selfhelp darkart animeart originalart realism hyperillustration blackwork houstontx cybersigilism…
    uniE621 Haku the dragon
    More fan art in my style. A client of mine actually asked me to design this for them and I went way overboard with it. A lot of my work is very high detail. So each piece takes a good bit of time to complete. dragon digitalart digitalillustration creatureare creaturedesign realism blackandwhite characterart characterdesign anime videogames miazaki stylized illustrator…

    This design was made to be a representation of how we should appreciate the living while still alive instead of after death. Heavily influenced by my love for anime and dark art. I'd upload the timelapse but the app won't let me. Timelapses for all of my art are on my Instagram.
