I’ve always wanted to be an artist but never chose a niche, so I explore all mediums. In my recent works, I had to work on AP art, so I had to divert from my normal fanart-related topics. I combined my love of character design and scrapbooking with mythical creatures. My theme revolved around how we interact with water. To portray the subjects as real inhabitants of the environment, I composed the illustrations from the point of view of a photographer.
I create for enjoyment over prestige, so my free time is spent sketching fan art. Although real-life references are cross-checked to produce technically skilled works, I enjoy honoring the characters from the series I love. I usually draw from series like Dungeon Meshi and Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. I take inspiration from artists like Tatsuki Fujimoto and Yuto Sano for their use of expression, line quality, and overall design. Clarity is extremely valuable, so glancing at my illustrations lets you see homage to techniques the creators I love use while demonstrating my unique coloring style and layouts.
