Nix by Mary Ngai is a digitized version of the original line art by Maksn in DeviantArt. Mary Ngai (Maksn) is a freelance illustration and concept artist and is currently working at a US-based game development studio. Nix is Mary’s rendition of my original SAD Star Soldier character, Ziro.

Digital Inks & Colors

Using Photoshop, I vectored out the lines and the shapes (or digitally inked and colored, as I call it) to give it a more solid and flat look.

About Me

I’m JP B. Bantigue—a designer, digital illustrator, and longtime comic art enthusiast. Inks & Colors is where I return to the craft of inking and digital coloring, often working over existing linework to bring characters and scenes to life. Whether it’s a commission, a tribute, or an experimental study, I find joy in tracing lines with purpose and layering colors to build mood and texture.
