"Evil Izumi (Inuo) AU"

Date Created: January 4th 2023

Original

Dialog Ver.

I saw a post on Twitter, challanging artists to make an opposite version of their OCs.

(Old Canon btw, outdated) In Wanderlust's Old Canon, Inuo is heir apparent to the throne after his father. Due to his impatient nature, he did at one point joked about assassinating his father to get the throne (pretty poor taste), but eventually sucked it up and decided to explore the world instead. But what happened if the joke was real?

In this AU, Inuo actually called a hit on his father and proclaimed as the new chief of Waiso. As his corruption grows, his sanity and symphony decreased. He then went on to conquer the Hazuia Union after proclaiming that Hazuians are better off being under one chief instead of five. The Waiso Empire was soon formed, with millions dead. (Inuo be like: Billions Must Die)

"Izumi (Inuo) HOI4 Portrait"

Date Created: April 16th 2023

I was bored, need of a new Discord PFP, and I love Hearts of Iron IV, so I drew this.

"Khmer New Year 2023 Artwork (Year of the Rabbit)"

Date Created: April 17th 2023

I drew this as celebration of the Year of the Rabbit for Khmer New Year 2023! (Also, don't you know I'm Khmer? lol)

This is also the first digital drawing of my new art style.

"'I Love My Country!' Meme"

Date Created: May 21st 2023

Original (Hazuian Flag)

Bisexual (Bisexual Flag)

A redraw of a Twitter meme! This is also the first artwork of Inuo in the new art style, I'm mostly proud of my shading, I'm on the edge with the EXTREME eye glare.

"Arnea Ukallik Reference Sheet"

Date Created: June 18th 2023

The reference sheet for Arnea Ukallik for Wanderlust!

(Fun fact! Arnea was a result of a rework in the Wanderlust lore, with his story now being the first story to be told (previously a prequel), and came to life for an Illustration assignment!)

"Inuo Ukallik Reference Sheet"

Date Created: June 20th 2023

The new reference sheet for Inuo Ukallik for Wanderlust! This was created for Art Fight 2023!

This is the day when Izumi became Inuo, the name change was made bc the name "Inuo" is inspired by Inuits (Which Hazuians are based off from) instead of the "Izumi" Japanese name.

"Fredric Langford Reference Sheet"

Date Created: June 24th 2023

The reference sheet for Fredric Langford for Art Fight 2023! He's more of a character I just created as to diversify my category.

"Lol Inuo Goes to Space"

Date Created: June 27th 2023

A nod to the old LOL Internet Meme from years and years ago... This is also my first animation! :D

"PFP Guy (Izumi)"

Date Created: June 27th 2023

Izumi (not to be confused with the old name of Inuo), my internet persona, was created for my Art Fight account orginally, but I figured he can be my internet representation :)

"Arnea and Alzena"

Date Created: June 30th 2023

Made from the Art Fight 2023 Prompts before the big event! Alzena Baxer is the love intrest of Arnea Ukallik. Alzena lives in Triflorida, a kingdom close to Hazuia and Yarrin. An unstable state, Alzena's village was overrun by corrupt merceraries, and her way of trying to survive was to be a thief, until Arnea came along and liberated her village. Alzena soon became the first member of the Ukallik family to not come from royal blood.

"Artfight 2023"

Date Created: June 30th 2023

An artwork to celebrate my entry to Art Fight 2023!

"Artfight 23' Card"

Date Created: June 30th 2023

My card I made for AF 23'!

"Arnea and Frere"

Date Created: July 10th 2023

My first (and only) Art Fight 23' attack! In canon, Arnea after the Waiso Massacre, had visions of his lost ones from time to time. This deeply disturbed him. In this artpiece, he seek peace in a religious setting, where he met Frere Ange, a character by Scratong, where he was able to comfort though prayer.

"A Plan for Barbieheimer"

Date Created: July 11th 2023

My suggestion of how to enjoy "Barbieheimer", yeah not alot of people took the deal.

"FEMBOY IZUMI"

Date Created: July 11th-14th 2023

Embarassing, but for some reason, the art was too good to not share. If you like femboys click here

Version 1

Version 2

Version 3

Various facial edits of "Femboy Izumi" from "A Plan for Barbieheimer". Self explainatory.

"The 'Wanderlust' World"

Date Created: July 15th 2023

Blank Version

(Attempted) Borders Version

The offical map for my OC Project, "Wanderlust"! I wanted to construct an original world, so I basically did the "rice" method, where you put a handful of rice onto paper and move it around until you're satified, then trace the paper around the rice.

I then took a photo of the map and traced it, I didn't consider proper geography, so theres some oddities. Didn't finished it obviously, it was hard to think up nations that sounded like it came from something not from Earth.

"Gas Station Meme"

Date Created: July 28th 2023

Non-Edited Version

Edited Version (Date weird due to In-World Calendar System, Date is 43rd Day of Autumn, 1986.)

An attempted drawing meme based on the "Youtube Play Button In a Gas Station" tweet.

"Izumi Wishing"

Date Created: August 2nd 2023

Izumi wishes for more medieval stuff.

"Alzena Baxer Reference Sheet"

Date Created: August 8th 2023

The reference sheet for Alzena Baxer for Wanderlust!

Alzena was created as a response to an Art Fight 23' Prompt of an OC being with a loved one! Alzena is bascially Arnea's companion and later, wife!
