It's Summertime! Here's my contribution to @cosmiccandyart.bsky.social 's Summer Party Collab with floaties, flowers and bright colors! I highly recommend checking out the rest of the lineup in the thread below over on Instagram!

"Oh.. uh Elara? What if I wasn't from this world but like came from space? Maybe that's why you don't know?" Here's another big illustration for my friend Egypt's main OC for our main roleplay group of Oredia, Skylar!

"Pah! Can I fight? Please. Just gotta let you guys know that I can handle anything that comes my way." Another one for my RP group, here's my friend Cody's main OC: End Arkoh Sionnah! He's a homunculus with a green gem as his heart that can use up to four elements including fire and lighting.

ENG: "What is reality and fantasy anymore?" Yai_Sweetart's concept for her series "Incompletos" inspired me so much to create this conceptual cover art for a hypothetical OST album! Definitely helped that the character design for Sona looks gorgeous. I highly recommend checking out her work!

And here's the second mascot done for the local foodie app, Dabb Social, being a cool pizza guy! Like in the previous post, this was made back in 2024 for when they were launching the app. They served their purpose to make the app much hipper and more fun to use. Now onward to present work!

Flashback to 2024 where I designed a couple of characters for the local food app, Dabb Social, around the time they were starting off! The first of the two is this cute Burger Chef with a charming fry cook aesthetic! #burger #characterdesign #cutechef

Here's a conceptual romance book cover featuring two of my friend Sunshine's roleplay characters: Aurora the baker and Marcus the royal guard from the ice-themed kingdom Thilidia! This took a while but it was a ton of fun building this all together including the font choices.

One of my most ambitious illustrations so far, here's another work for the roleplay group featuring my friend Emily's character, Janette! She is a model from the kingdom of Puddinland who uses lightning and happens to be super hot. She also has a bad habit of smoking behind the scenes.

✨Covergirl! ✨ I finally participated in @chalkspider.bsky.social #chalks3k_dtiys celebration DTIYS challenge with their character by giving it a girl's magazine twist!

Here's a gift for my friend Egypt from the roleplaying group of one of her OCs, Cynthia! A teenage earth elementalist, her soul was trapped in a painting while her body was encased in a crystal for ten years until she was finally freed by newfound friends. ⬇️ Continued on next post ⬇️

Here's a redraw of Kanna from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid from a sketch request I did back in 2017! I couldn't bear to look at the original sketch anymore so I had to redo it in a way that shows my growth as an artist nearly a decade later and it's insane how much I have improved since then.

My account got sent into the red and I won’t get payed until next week. So I’m giving this a boost. Any help would mean a lot, thank you

To celebrate Manuel Martínez-Nazario’s presentation on Puerto Rican comic artist Ismael Rodríguez Báez, I created my own tribute to the artist! If you would like to learn more about him, I recommend getting the book "Ismael Rodríguez Báez: Padre del Cómic Puertorriqueño" from Casa Noberto or eBay!

I finally did PunPunArtz's #punpun1000DTIYS challenge featuring their OC, Punpun! This was a whole new challenge for me from the composition to how I dealt with the fire and it turned out awesome! I highly recommend checking out their work!

My friend Cody's birthday is this month so I've decided to celebrate early by drawing one of his roleplay OCs, the handsome and strong Speedy (based on his favorite UTAUloid Speedy Torane) with the mint fox as his stand-in! This was a challenge to pull off but I'm so happy with how this came out!
