Hi! Thanks for stopping by. This is my little place where I share the artworks I made over the years since I picked up painting as a hobby. Feel free to grab a snack and chill here for a few minutes, maybe you'll see something you like :)

I am honoured to have participated in this! I loved working on this continuously for the past months, and feel really proud to see my paintings alongside the many other amazing ones! Can't wait to post Primrose, Stia, Agnea and Eliza tomorrow!

25th of June 2026 Alongside the character designs, I also really wanted to try and design a uniform for the Strixhaven setting, and purposefully avoided referencing the official designs. In the end I came up with 4 variations, which my friends and I got to choose from for our character clothes:

18th of June 2026 My friends and I started a Strixhaven DnD adventure, and here are the portraits of the characters :) I was heavily involved in the PPA community collab for the 8th Octopath Traveler anniversary at the same time, so it's only head portraits for now.

08th of April 2026 To celebrate my friend groups return to our DnD campaign, I made this painting of our characters! I love how fancy everyone turned out! It also gave me a good opportunity to do a more ambitious painting, since I've only been making single character artworks for a while.

It was a lot of fun to participate in the PPA Octopath Traveler 0 countdown, and I loved getting the opportunity to paint my DnD OC Soleil as the protagonist! I actually ended up playing the game with her as the protag :D

1 DAY LEFT until the #OctopathTraveler0 release on December 4th!! 🐙🎉 This countdown drawing of the Chosen One/Protagonist was drawn by Simon #OctopathTraveler #OctopathCotC

A drawing of the Chosen One/Protagonist from Octopath Traveler 0.

The drawing is made in a normal style, full body. The artist's designed the protagonist using the feminine base with blonde hair tied back in a ponytail. They are wearing the game's starting outfit and posing with the Fem. Type 1 Path Action which as them standing confidently, one arm resting behind their head and the other outstretched to the side. The expression has a wink and a smile.

In the middle left of the image is text that reads "1 Day Left".

29th of November 2025 I fell in love with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 really hard, and it made me want to try "realistic" painting. So I tried my hand and a pencil portrait of Gustave, and was really happy with the result.

10th of November 2025 (1/2) This DnD batch was the toughest (but arguably most fun) to design yet! I'm really proud of these designs, and I feel this is the first time where I properly did something in "my" style. I'm excited to see how it evolves from here!

BildBildBildBild

7th of May 2025 (1/2) Kinda based on the style from my last post, I made another batch of DnD character artworks (and two NPCs) this year (and will probably continue to do so for a while haha) I really like how colourful they all turned out!

BildBildBildBild

14th of February 2025 (my most active year yet!) I saw a cool format for character sheets online (credit to DahliaWilder on VGen) that I wanted to try out. Also wanted to draw Rise Kujikawa because I made my Stardew Valley character look like her (that one hairstyle was just too perfect xD).

Bild

23rd of July 2022 I somehow forgot to post these! My bad These were a birthday present for a dear friend who's also a big fan of City Pop! Some of their favourite City Pop album covers redone with Persona 4 characters (their favourite Persona game).

31st of December 2024 And here's the second one. This one went to a friend with whom me and other friends played Outer Wilds, and also enjoyed many campfire evenings. They had moved abroad to Sweden this year, and so I wanted to feature both in this painting.

31st of December 2024 We're wrapping up 2024 with two christmas gifts, this being the first. I really love Castti's gentle personality and had a lot of fun painting this. Having to figure out the folds of her dress, apron and cloak however... 🥲

Bild

2nd of August 2024 (1/2) The second time I painted DnD characters for my friends, this time I wanted to do them in action poses with cool effects. Kind of inspired by the bosses in the Octopath Traveler series.

27th of April 2024 I really love the first Jujutsu Kaisen Ending song and animation, and here I had the idea to make a crossover with Persona characters :D I actually had two t-shirts printed with this design, and regularly wear them during summer.

Bild

7th of February 2024 This one I'm still really proud off (even though I probably could do the anatomy slightly better nowadays) Still a big fan of BD2 and Octopath Traveler, so I dearly wanted to make a crossover fanart. The outfit swap was really fun as well.

Bild

11th of November 2023 This was the year me and my friends discovered tabletop rpgs, so as the resident artist, of course I offered to paint the characters. Having learned from my previous overly-ambitions endeavours, I tried simpler artstyles.
