Kenji LaSalle, one of my longest used original characters! He's a 22-year-old Japanese-American who was born in Hawaii. His dad’s brief time in the army sparked his interest in mechanics (such as hot rod cars & the inner workings of firearms), while his mom influenced his eccentric fashion taste & ocean-loving nature. A lifelong beachgoer, he hates socks and most closed-toe shoes. Despite his rebellious look, he’s a laid-back, kind-hearted pacifist—and a little bit of a crybaby (and a glutton.)
Kazue LaSalle is Kenji's female counterpart from another dimension! Though they both have the same character traits & personality (since they're essentially the same person), Kazue is more athletic, has more of an affinity for "normal" clothes every now and then, and is less of a glutton. (behind closed doors is a different story..)
Despite being in completely different dimensions, I love creating art where these two hang out together! I see their relationship as a set of siblings who fluctuate between being the "big" and "little" one. Kenji decided to change up his wardrobe and head out with socks & sneakers, and regrets it..
In the art where I feature these two together, I like to use the same palette for their outfits, but with one color used more than the other. (Ex: This artwork features them in purple and teal. Kenji's outfit uses more purple than teal, and vice versa for Kazue.) This drawing gives an idea of their character traits. Kazue's got more motivation for being athletic than Kenji does. There are just times he'd rather be snacking..
I created this piece on Valentine's Day 2025!
It features Vera & Vincent Edwards, who are Kenji & Kazue's girlfriend and boyfriend respectively. Both are inquisitive late college students (age 23) who love to tinker with things like old toys & small electronics. Kazue's very casual about her relationship with Vincent, but Kenji sort of acts bashful, as if him and Vera haven't been dating since high school!
Ambitious but a little stubborn, Jam is the leader of the "Heavy Arm Unit", a team of heroes who protect the world using their bionic "Heavy Arm" attachments.
-Really strong, despite his lanky body. His physical and emotional strength make him a great pillar for his team to lean on.
-Loves baseball and watching boxing, which inspired his bat & boxing glove-like "SlugDriver".
Ceylon's the second-in-command of the team, and is there to keep Jam's stubborn nature under control. She's respectful & empathetic, but a bit timid when the going gets rough.
-The smartest of the gang!
-Loves all things with wheels or wings, such as motorcycles, F1 cars, and all sorts of flying machines, hence her plane-like "Mystic Ace", which she can fly & control freely from her arm.
Scotch is #3 in the team, and is more like a "wild card". He takes a little TOO much pride in his appearance, and is pretty hotheaded (making him and Jam good fighting buddies). Despite all this, he's energetic, kindhearted, and fearless to a fault, being there to support Ceylon when things are becoming a little too much for her.
-He loves keeping up with his self-appearance, cute ladies, extreme sports, and punk rock. His spiky, dynamic nature inspired his "Voltic Star".
Battle of Neo Town, 2019
"The Battle of Neo Town" was one of my first full pieces drawn in the app Procreate! It features a girl standing against a fiery city, preparing to face her brainwashed boyfriend, who has been turned that way by the leader of an evil organization.
The Fall of Neo City, 2023
4 years later, I came back around to this piece to do a remake, called "The Fall of Neo City." I had included a more complete background with a full city silhouette, a more heartbroken expression for the main character, and a normal version of her boyfriend, suggesting that he's still inside the brainwashed form, crying out for help.
A piece I drew back in October 2023!
On a night where clouds draw eerie circles in the sky, a mysterious professor has melded the components of long-gone androids into one body, and activates it in the "Android Graveyard".
His joints click and rattle, and the only speech his electronic brain & vocal cords send out is a warbled moan. His one good eye gives off a staticky buzz, and his artificial skin could tear at any moment..
What are the android's motives? What shall the professor do with him once he rises?
"The Monochromilitary VS. Prismiasma"
A monochromatic group of heroes (each hailing from completely different worlds), known as the Monochromilitary, go toe-to-toe with the Prismiasma, an evil, polychromatic "multi-matter" lifeform that encroaches on their world.
A piece featuring an early 2000s-inspired couple named Kim and Aaron Daniels walking around together at the mall! Their outfits feature my fictional brands known as "Diamond Sigma" and "COSMIQ" respectively. The mascot on Aaron's hoodie is called Orbit.
"World Hunter: Percy Takahashi"
Read the bio in the drawing to learn some more about the electric cyborg, Percy Takahashi!
A courageous yet nervous young man named Arden and his avian steed Talos rescue a beautiful princess named Jewelia as three castle guards try to stop them. The Boarbarian yells out an order for the "Burgun Dragon" to spit flame, and the head of the Black Spirit Knight skitters after our heroes.
"Aster, Sylvia, and Flux-Nova"
I'm a big fan of the idea of characters fusing together in some shape or form, so I decided to create a fusion between Aster, a little alien who's essentially a living star, and Sylvia, a human. Aster melds his alien genetics together with Sylvia's human DNA using the "Bond Emblem" on her chest. This is known as a "Galactic Unison", and the two become Flux-Nova.
Flux-Nova's design and the idea of the two fusing is inspired by Ultraman! In most Ultraman media, most Ultramen merge together with a human so that he can fight on Earth.
Three members of a futuristic biker gang!
Rev Connector is the stoic & smart mechanic of the gang who sees his ability to fix and improve his fellow gang members' bikes as an art.
Flint "Flamebelly " Rowes is the rowdy, caring leader of the gang who has the ability to spit flames at any time through a cybernetic implant found in his stomach.
Sean "Striker" Robinson is the newest member of the gang who's quick-witted and has a need for speed, but can be a bit too cocky for his own good..
"Cyborg of the Cosmic Ocean: Galleon"
Galleon is a cyborg hero who works for the "Space Marines", a team created for the purpose of exploring the "Cosmic Ocean" of deep space and protecting the people of Earth.
His true appearance is unknown, but we know for sure that there's a human with cybernetic enhancements in there. He's inspired by real-life naval captains, and transforms using a mysterious crystal known as the "Lunar Larimar".
An eclectic mix between an alien, a jester, and a toy, the Lunar Lunatic's only aim is to make people across the galaxy laugh and smile!
