Made eye makeup with pride colors! For them to show up properly you gotta pick white ingame, but you can play around with other colors, there’s some neat non-pride gradients that can show up
Outfits for Valerie! My new V is a street kid, hot mix of a katana-lover and a netrunner. She’s not a sweet girl, more like arrogant, straightforward and tough, but she’d do all in the world for her loved ones. Valerie loves bright colors, fashion and freedom.
After roughly 8 hours, I’ve finished recreating another Magazine cover with my nonbinary Corpo V!
This one was alot of fun, and I love how it turned out:

Of course, I’m still having to redraw/draw everything myself, but having the base there as a reference makes the process alot quicker.

For this one, I changed a few minor details, but also completely changed the colour palette. The original was a mix of gold/red/navy blue, and that just didn’t scream Cyberpunk to me, so I went with what I call ‘soft neon’ which I feel fits the vibe more.
Here’s the condensed process:
You can see I only coloured in one figure at a time. As with the original, I was drawing duplicates of my V. So I just had to render one at a time, then copy/paste and flip.
One of the many joys of digital art! I did toy with the idea of a brighter colour scheme for the hair, but ultimately ditched it for the white.
I think that was a wise decision, as it better fits the sleek/avant garde feel of this cover/piece. And it keeps the focus on the outfit, which I absolutely loved making my own.
Here’s the timelapse (warning for flashes of colour):
Unfortunately, I’ve been having issues with the quality of the timelapse videos from Procreate. Should be fixed now; I sorted things out as best I could after finishing this piece.
Regardless, this gives you a more extensive look into the process behind my work.

After 10+ hours, my latest project is done! It’s a recreation of a Harper’s Bazaar magazine cover, but instead of them its Jinguji, and the model is my nonbinary badass- my Corpo V from an AU I’m working on.
I’m lowkey proud of how this turned out, and it was alot of fun:
To see the process behind this, as well as a brief write-up of this V’s story, and a colouring timelapse…check under the read more!!!
In the AU I’m tinkering with, V comes from the Vesper family. The Vesper Corporation works on weaponry and armour, as well as a private security outlet. In terms of power, I’m putting them up with Militech; making them a decent rival for Arasaka because of the spiciness and potential for conflict/angst.
V has their dad, the CEO of the company, which was passed down to him from his father, and his father before him. So it’s been passed down through several generations. V’s Mom is a famous actress, formerly a BD star. They have an older brother, who is being primed to take over from their Father in the next decade or so. Then they have a younger brother, who is hoping to become an actor and has starred in several successful flicks. And finally, the twins; both girls, one wishing to go into business and the other pursuing modelling.
And as for V themselves? V is a well known, as in globally known, supermodel. They take on shorter contracts or even singular modelling gigs, to allow for a sense of freedom. This takes them all over the world. And eventually lands them in Night City.
The Vesper Corporation will eventually form a sort of partnership with Arasaka, for reasons I’m still working out. And as you can guess, it won’t end well. But before that, it’s gonna be alot of fun. V will eventually meet Jackie and see another side of life, and true freedom…and will at some point meet Takemura, their initial love interest!
So, to say I’ve put some thought into this V is an understatement. But that’s what OCs are for, right? Making stories and figuring out their role in their world. It’s fun, and I’ve definitely got brainrot for this OC. But no regrets, I love Vex.
Here’s the process (condensed bc Tumblr photo limit):
You should get an idea of how long this took. As with…most of my Cyberpunk pieces, it seems, it was pretty labour intensive. But a labour of love, and one that paid off; I am pretty proud of how this turned out, and it was super fun to do.
I also enjoyed the challenge of working with a limited colour palette, and giving my V a different hairstyle, as well as different jewellery and eye makeup!
Here’s the colouring timelapse (warning for flashes of colour):
I believe you can see here that it took me a while to kinda settle on gold or silver. Eventually the silver/darker palette won out, because the Jinguji logo is black and red and I wanted to kinda make sure the outfit meshed with that. The jacket is one you can get in-game, I just shifted the colours…and added the roses…and changed the pocket handkerchief design.
Still, I think it turned out pretty great- tune in for future posts with some detail closeups and a look without the complicated background/logo!!!
So after a long time in the shadow of other obsessions, I’ve finally gotten around to drawing my Nomad V again!
To see the process, as well as a brief write-up and colouring timelapse, check under the read more!!!
My Nomad V is, as I like to call her, a disaster Lesbian. Kind of a gremlin, can and will tear apart any stuffy formal clothes you try and put her in. This jacket is one she considers one of her fanciest; in that it isn’t stained to hell with dirt and motor oil.
She’s an extremely skilled Sniper/crafter/mechanic, made doubly impressive by her distinct lack of cybernetics. She’s kind of like Claire; loves machines, loves working on them, but doesn’t want to become one.
This V loves rock and punk music, though she won’t say no to a bit of Johnny Cash. Many of the bands she likes are my own favourites, who would be very much considered retro by 2077, but she loves anyway.
Her bracelets are just random ones she’s collected over the years; the wooden one is one that was crafted by someone very dear to her. The rainbow sparkly one was made by a younger member of the clan who looked up to V, and the pearlescent one is one V came across while on a supply run with the clan.
As for the bandana around their wrist? This V has a collection of those, and they are used to keep their hair away from their face when it isn’t styled/they’re working on machines/engines. Sometimes worn tied round the belt or wrist as a fashion accessory.
Here’s the process for this piece:
This was supposed to be simple, but as usual I couldn’t help myself. Didn’t pay too much attention to the lighting because, as I said, this was supposed to be simple. I’m still really happy with how this turned out. Especially the little Depeche Mode references.
And I love her freckles so much. She kinda has fainter ones all over her body, but the most distinct are what you can see crossing her face. Also…I really like her eyes; I feel like they shine really well here.
Here’s the colouring timelapse (warning for flashes of colour):
You can get an idea of how long this piece took. The lines took about 2 and a half hours, with the colouring taking an additional 5 and a half; putting the total time spent on this up to 8 hours. Feel like it was worth the effort- I love how the textures turned out, and how bright her hair and eyes look.
Detail closeups coming in their own separate post!!!
