Here you go! Congrats on the decade! (forgot a contrast adjustment the first time)

Took a while, but I got halfway to my goal of reaching HR 999 with both of my hunters. Now to farm HR on my main.

Expanded upon the Beatkage idea by making her part of a group of ninja thematically based upon the elements of Hip-Hop: The 4のBeats (Shi-no-Beats). These character sheets were finished a while back, but weren't actually posted (with the exception of the first). Descriptions in the alt text. (1/2)

Character sheet for the Beatkage. A diminutive woman with black hair and blue highlights. Wears a short red sleeveless kimono with gold obi, and stockings that only cover the right leg. The left leg holsters several kunai. Also wears an oversized tek jacket with exposed shoulders and orange triangle patterning that fades around the hips. Each pocket of the jacket has equalizer bars that react to whatever sound is being output from her severely oversized noise-cancelling headphones. Additionally wears a large turntable kasa.

Each 4のBeats design is an homage to various styles of videogame shinobi/ninja -- and this one is an homage to Kurenai from Red Ninja.

Being the first of the 4のBeats created, the Beatkage represents the hip-hop element of DJing with a color scheme that evokes autumn. In a grander scheme, she is meant to represent "feeling" with each other member after her representing what follows from feeling. Where, if you look at her as the leader of the group, there is a progression.

I aimed to make an energetic character with this one.

Character sheet for the Flowkage. A black woman with white hair with icy-blue highlights. Proportionally, wide hips and thick thighs. Wearing a ninja-like near-black bodysuit that has white hexagonal patterning fading halfway up the abdomen and leaves the right leg exposed. Also wears a puffy white chest-high jacket with fur collar and blue panels on the sleeves that end in fur cuffs. Additionally wears a thick gold chain that terminates into a "4のB" branded piece of diamond-studded jewelry; and an oversized pair of sunglasses decorated with diamond-studded shuriken on each side. A harness worn over the jacket affixes a pair of straps used to carry her scroll of lyrics. Her exposed skin is covered in cyphered lyrics with a hexagonal seal on her thigh and back. Her weapon is a kusari-gama microphone with a gold head. As she raps, the icy sickle-blade of the kusarigama manifests.

Each 4のBeats design is an homage to various styles of videogame ninja/shinobi -- and this one is an homage to Taki from Soul Calibur.

The Flowkage represents the hip-hop element of MCing or Rapping with a color scheme evocative of Winter. In a grander scheme, she is also meant to represent "thought, writing and speech."

I wanted to make her the "effortlessly cool one."

Character sheet for the Tagkage. A tall woman (about 8 feet) with black hair with blue highlights. Proportionally, slender and lanky with a really big bust. Wearing a navy uwagi with extended loincloth that fades into a pastel blue adorned with geometric shapes meant to somewhat mimic sakura petals; and a white obi. Also wears a long, open tek jacket with unfastened straps that she has decorated with 4のBeats graffiti on the rear. The top portion of the jacket is patterned to look like storm clouds while the bottom portion is black with blue pinstripes to kind of look like rain. Jacket is equipped with a harness that holsters her spray paint cans. Covers her face with a half-oni mask respirator. Her weapon is a pair of spray-paint-powered tonfa. When the nozzles at the top of the handle portion are pointed in the direction of the indicator, she can use them like cans of spray paint. When the nozzles are pointed away from the indicator, she can blowout the cans for a spray-paint-powered rocket punch.

Each 4のBeats design is an homage to various styles of videogame ninja/shinobi -- and this one is an homage to Kasumi from DOA and Mai Shiranui from Fatal Fury.

The Tagkage represents the Graffiti art element of hip-hop with a color scheme evocative of Spring. In a grander scheme, she is also meant to represent "vision, aesthetic and propaganda."

I wanted her to be "the creepy one."

Character sheet for the Breakkage. A toned woman with wild black hair with vibrant blue highlights. Wears a tied bandana, a sports bra with a ninja-mesh boob window, and oversized hakama shorts with sunflower decoration affixed with a tied belt that holsters three kunai. Her limbs are wrapped in green cloth, and she wears geta. Also wears a light tek jacket with "4のB" decal on the right sleeve.

Each 4のBeats design is an homage to various styles of videogame ninja/shinobi -- and this one is an homage to Ibuki from Street Fighter.

The Breakkage represents the Breakdancing element of hip-hop with a color scheme evocative of Summer. In a grander scheme, she is also meant to represent "praxis."

I aimed to make her "earnestly joyous."

And here are some early sketches as well as thumbnails of background characters (the Investor Masters). It's been a while since I'd worked on an indie project (that wasn't my own). It was fun, and everyone was great to work with. I can be commissioned. dashxero.tumblr.com/commissions for details.

DashXero@dashxero· May 25

I did some character design work for a fighting game currently in development called "R.U.S.H." (Rival Ultimate Steel Hand), and I was given clearance to post this. You can check out the RUSH demo here: alcratz.itch.io/rush-proto These are character sheets and thumbs for the two main characters.

The other night, I thought I saw something while playing. I looked over the footage tonight. So... Apparently, Steve/Seregios' projectiles can be hit out of the air with an attack... This is news to me. Is THIS why Perfect Guarding those projectiles is so punishing? #MonsterHunter

DashXero@dashxero· May 7

I'm all late and shit... I was convinced to draw Golden Deca. #oc #ocsky

DashXero@dashxero· Apr 30

NOW LIVE! twitch.tv/DashXero Continuing work on that Shinobeats piece. Blocked in colors for the Flowkage. I think I wanna take another crack at the Beatkage's pose. I think we can make it so that she looks like she's having more fun... Drop on by.

DashXero@dashxero· Apr 23

*Try not to draw something* *Wind up drawing something* The more I think about it, the more certain I become that Manji probably has some of the best pull-up game in manga.

DashXero@dashxero· Apr 12

Another day, another one of these pops up… Another chance to evangelize for my favorite games. And you can too: grids.fun/t/about-me-v...

DashXero@dashxero· Mar 28

The end of quest screen shows up, and that's when I found out that I was in the Free Challenge Quest. And apparently, the three of us had gotten a time that beats the time I got solo by about seven minutes. I hadn't gotten a time that low on AT Arkveld since I SOS'd in on that one Korean squad.

DashXero@dashxero· Mar 18

Random torso. Random Anura.

DashXero@dashxero· Mar 12

Okay. Here's the deal. The graffiti design took up the whole night. Any graffiti connoisseurs out there got any tips for how I can improve graffiti designs moving forwards? If I'm gonna work with this character in the future, I'm gonna have to learn how to design some decent graffiti.

DashXero@dashxero· Mar 5

Easy. my9games.com

DashXero@dashxero· Feb 18

I beat Proof of a Hero. And I have proof... The nameplate. Had to do it solo, took a few bumps. But I did it.

DashXero@dashxero· Feb 10

HOLD THE FUCK UP. TEN STAR?! 10 STAR?!

DashXero@dashxero· Feb 6

Timelapse. I should probably edit together a timelapse of a few more recent pieces... But that's like 16 hours of footage.... Do I have to?

DashXero@dashxero· Feb 6

The Beatkage. Fast and loose. I should probably try doing more fast and loose stuff - as it might improve my finished work going forward. By the way, if anyone's interested in adopting this VTuber design, hit me up. There's an interview required, though. Need to be certain she's put in good hands.

DashXero@dashxero· Feb 2

My entry for the Robot Master Design Contest. I gotta stop entering these things.

DashXero@dashxero· Jan 30

It's my birthday, so I'll post a piece (the diptych I've been workin' on). "To Her/To Him" Characters from my card game. Check out the demo and join the mailing list while you're at it: www.girlswithickythings.com #oc #ocsky #girlswithickythings

OC Lore Train! Explain their lore in the worst way possible: Drunken, pot-smoking, perverted, necromancer fighting game nerd makes a living solving magick-based crimes for the Police because the world's government can't hire mages due to more lucrative opportunities being literally everywhere else.

DashXero@dashxero· Jan 17

Last month, I decided to try my hand at VTuber design again -- as it could be a lucrative way to expand my current commission business. This was the best one I'd done, I feel. I may decide to make this design adoptable in the future... Though, I couldn't just sell it to anybody.

DashXero@dashxero· Jan 16

Eh, what could it hurt? I think these are my most recent works that are kinda T-Shirt-ish...

DashXero@dashxero· Jan 15

Redesign of an old character from a PolyCount contest I dropped out of over a decade ago: The Blitz Widow. I couldn't decide between the pixie cut or ponytail. The old design and lore drop should still be on my Tumblr. dashxero.tumblr.com/post/8934622... Haven't actually posted in a bit.

DashXero@dashxero· Jan 2

Kinda hard for this to be my word for 2026 when it has been my word for all time. Such is life.

DashXero@dashxero· Jan 2

I was today years old when I found out that Juri and Mai share the same birthday. Huh. Might as well repost some older art…

DashXero@dashxero· Dec 18

Hmm... According to my Steam Replay for 2025, I am the worst kind of shill there is -- An Unpaid Shill. I will continue to recommend Monster Hunter because I'm having such a good time with it.

DashXero@dashxero· Dec 3

My buddy @thediepod.bsky.social had a birthday sometime this month. So, I drew his character Red. Happy birthday, Diepod.
