Today marks 6 years since we posted the first episode of the podcast. It honestly feels like both yesterday and ages ago since we started this thing. All I have to say at this point is thank you. Thank you to all the guest that gave me an ounce of their time. Thank you to all the people showing love

Here's an old illustration I did for Paka Planet back in 2023 way before the relaunch as an app. While I love how it looks now, part of me hoped that I've gotten the chance to work more on these characters. But after I upload the remaining works, I can properly move on from this property.

A blue Alpaca with hair covering his eye and ninja gear plays the ocarina under the moonlight  while fireflies fly around him.  Meanwhile,  two pink Alpacas are watching him with intrigue.

ENG: "Forever Boricua: The Lost Taíno" will be released as an E-book on October 2nd over at my Ko-Fi page! If you want a great way to support an independent artist who wants to tell stories about their island's culture and history, then keep on a lookout for this release when it debuts next week!

Natasha showing Post some colorful magic!

This past week has motivated me to get myself out there when it comes to voice acting, mainly because if the podcast isn't gonna get me away from this warehouse job, maybe I can creatively express myself with some fun voices & acting. I've always wanted to get myself out there, better now than never

"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!

Two blonde women, one with blue skin with stars all over it and the other in human clothes, are reaching out to each other while floating by a galaxy.  Their touch initiates the birth of a star.  Meanwhile, a blue star necklace is floating close to the camera while a space-themed notebook is nearby.

"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.

A slightly bulky man with long hair looks on at the camera with his Morningstar resting on his shoulder and his other hand resting on his glowing chest.  Meanwhile, fire and lightning swirl around him.  The text reads the following:

"You must not miss this wild ride." - ERICA PALAZZO

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!

A pink haired magical girl in a pink, gold and white dress sleeps in the middle of an interchanging background that switches between the sky and a field of grass with each section.  Meanwhile, parts of the background are missing and replaced with black and red bits.  The text reads:

INCOMPLETOS

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!

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.

A pink-haired woman in a baking apron and a tattooed man with an apron are looking at each other lovingly at a kitchen.  On the background is a window with a view of a pair of blue birds cuddling each other.Textless cover

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.

In a city street, a sunglasses wearing long gray haired female model smokes by a street clock while a crowd of peaople pass her by.  At the opposite side of the illustration, a curly haired young man excitedly looks up at a billboard featuring the same model promoting a new fragrance, Firebolt.

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 ⬇️

A blue haired teenage girl in a royal black lace dress leaps out of a painting with vines and red shattered crystals flying out of it.

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.
