I think an important skill for artists to learn is how to simplify details for subjects that are small, or far away. Can’t just use a smaller pen size, or shrink a big drawing for it’ll just make the subject look muddy. Gotta know when to cut back on some details for the sake of readability.

Gina's shoulders were feeling stiff, so she asks Penny for a simple massage. She was happy to oblige, but knowing her tricky tendencies, Gina decided to sit backwards on the chair so that Penny could only focus on her back and shoulders. Surely this can't backfire, right?

Penny greets Kitty with her usual candor! Those updated drawings of Kitty and Penny weren’t for nothing! Just starting with something light and fun. Just easing back in. Kinda doing a little soft reboot, starting with Kitty and Penny, my two oldest OC’s.

If a tree has fallen asleep on the couch, has had her arms tied up and tickled, and no one is around to hear her laugh, does she make a sound? Won't know until there are noise complaints!

Finally got a new high score in Beatspell!

There are times optimism is more of a skill than a personality trait. But it always helps to stay positive!

I got really addicted to the side game, Beatspell. I really hope it gets spun-off into its own series. I want more!

Gotta love it when the game is just as fun to lose at as it is to win in!

2026 <- 2023 -> Funny how much an artstyle can change throughout the years, huh?

Lina's "updated" design is more of a refresh of her original look. Last time, I gave her a new jacket, but I decided to go back to a look more like how she was before, but more sporty. She also now sports a choker, and I gave her sneakers.

Some of my instructors from university have unfortunately passed on. They were very good people, many of their lessons still stick with me. One in particular gave me the encouragement I never thought I needed to pursue my major in animation. I hope to make them proud someday.

Uh… yeah, I meant to do that!

So what even was the point of revealing the boxart for Grand Theft Auto 6 if there’s nothing in the box?

Digital artists, have blue-light blocking glasses to protect your eyes from the screen. Take them off to evaluate your colors. Use a drawing glove. Helps your hand glide along the tablet, and prevents sweat and oils rubbing onto the surface. Get up and walk around often. Every 5-10 minutes.

Hey artists, let's share some helpful things in the community :) 🎨 What's one tip or trick you would give a new artist in your chosen medium? (Or just in general!)

This was made during the gold bikini trend of 2025. Serene caught wind of the gold bikinis, and wanted to try it out with her fellow Cherubs. Charity wasn’t too thrilled, but Prudence was all too eager. Of course wearing such risqué outfits call for divine punishment.

I don’t believe I introduced these characters here. Charity (pink)- the appointed leader Prudence (blue)- the clever one Serene (green)- the chillest one They’re the Cherub Trio, and Eden’s mentors. They perform angelic duties in cherub form, and like to cause mischief in their normal angel forms.

Some original designs of Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf I made a while back. And recently, I also did my own interpretation of Malon! Yes, it was because of the Ocarina remake. These designs would be for an original story that I may or may not do someday.

Can Bluesky get a proper iPad app? I’d like to browse and post on this comfortably on my tablet.

Really hoping the Ocarina of Time remake makes Link expressive. The last game where Link was expressive was Skyward Sword, and remains my favorite for that reason. You could really tell how he was feeling based on his facial and body animations alone, despite being silent. I love Skyward Sword.

What’s a bra?

I personally lose a little respect for artists I find tracing over 3D models. It’s good for practicing, but not good to use as a cutch for original pieces. It’s meant to be used as visual reference to aid in drawings, not to be traced. Pics often come off very stiff and rigid when tracing models.

Bawk Mitai has been watching that Nintendo direct on replay…

I do not expect to win bingo, but getting at least one of these will make me happy! Either way, I am excited!

I’ve grown fond of my joke character, Bawk Mitai. She can be considered as the unofficial mascot of my page.

Here here’s Prudence! She’s always up to play. Both in her normal and cherub forms.

Been a while since the last chapter of L’After Life… doesn’t mean Whim is safe from tickles.

Gina's shoulders were feeling stiff, so she asks Penny for a simple massage. She was happy to oblige, but knowing her tricky tendencies, Gina decided to sit backwards on the chair so that Penny could only focus on her back and shoulders. Surely this can't backfire, right?

It's Gina's turn for an update! Not much of a big change, just some added buttons to her sweater. They serve a very useful purpose. She now sports leg warmers. I thought it would look cute on her! Before you ask, no she does not have pants on. I also made her hair more yellow.
