I exclusively draw fan art because all my finished works serve as a ‘thank you’ for the joy the subject brought me. Honestly, it’s hard to remember my last piece that didn’t include inspiration from preexisting media. Humans are so interesting; why wouldn’t I want to grow through others’ perspectives?
I don’t draw much, so I constantly visualize new ideas and break down my surroundings. I take observed scenarios and insert my beloved characters to portray an accurate “slice of life”. Warm tones are then added to convey the message of being alive.
My art is entirely done as a source of enjoyment. Realistically, it’s the only career I wish to pursue. My ultimate goal is to learn every art medium by the time I retire. Similarly to the way I speak, my art process is very scattered and choppy. I wish to still have a varied uniqueness to me but with skillful execution. Until then, I’ll work as an artist and pursue happiness.

Favorite mediums: Digital, Hair styling/coloring, painting
Favorite subjects: Anatomy, composition, fashion design

Digital: I usually draw when I'm stressed or supposed to be doing other work. When I do so, it feels like I'm the creative kid I used to be

Digital: Jolyne Cujoh, Ermes Costello, and F.F. from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, in beach attire! Anatomy is my favorite art subject :)

Printed the earlier digital illustration onto opaque shrink-e-dink paper for stability and put them onto a cardboard/construction paper set

Sculpey and acrylic paint: my favorite parts of dim sum!

Oil painting: Wanderer from Genshin Impact after he was reborn

Acrylic yarn crochet tapestry using a pattern: Pochita(ポチタ)and Makima(マキマ) from Chainsawman!! I love making these, but they take so much time, and the material makes them hard to block
