illustration of the persona 3 protagonist, minato arisato, laying down in a pool of water while basking in warm light. he is surrounded by cherry blossom petals and has a peaceful expression. the piece is inspired by march 5th, and is also a redraw from a piece i did at the end of 2023.

A fantastical reptilian creature that resembles a mix of a tortoise and armadillo. It's very round with a rocky rust-colored hide.

An anthropomorphic otter, squirrel and mouse dressed in medieval-style clothing sit among rocks. Each one checks a weapon - a javelin for the otter, a sling and stones for the squirrel, and a dagger for the mouse. Next to each one is a bowl of food: shrimps for the otter, nuts for the squirrel, and berries for the mouse.

A screencap of my visual novel. The character speaking is a little bug guy begging not to get squished by a flyswatter.

I made a little point-and-click visual novel... Explore a conservatory on a dark, rainy day to help a (sorta) grandpa (sorta) vampire (sorta) find his stolen memory. It's about 20-30 minutes long; free to read and playable in browser!!

an illustration of Honey's elfsona. he's floating in a pink and purple nebula with constellations surrounding him, one of which he's drawing out, these constellations are his big three astrology signs, Piscen sun which he's drawing out, Leo moon which is on the viewers right and Capricorn rising which is on the viewers left, there's also a 4th constellation in the bottom right corner that makes up a birthday cake with a candle and has some text on the top of it that reads "happy birthday" 
he's also wearing his regular outfit, however it's been updated and changed little, primarily his shorts which are now black and pink with some little designs added, on the right side of the shorts part of the Pisces constellation is shown, and on the left are the 3 symbols used in astrology for Pisces, Leo and Capricorn respectively

silly landscape illustration of a nui of yosuke hanamura from persona 4 being taken away by drifloon. a nui of the persona 4 protagonist is gazing wistfully. a pachirisu is there too, since the background was inspired by valley windworks from pokemon diamond and pearl.

Hey friends! πŸ’œ

Life has hit hard with the flooding in my area, and now I'm looking at a 10K repair.

I'm in need of extra money and I'm more than happy to draw your OCs. I also have a ko-fi! Shares are welcome! πŸ’œ

watercolor painting of Mosslax, a new form of the Pokemon Snorlax all covered in moss. He is snoozing in a little forest area, light is coming through the leaves above him. A Paras and some Morelulls are sitting around and on him. Everyone looks very peaceful.

Ever since they revealed Mosslax I wanted to draw him!
So here he is.

Image (Art): This is a piece of fanart of Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy. It is a waist up sketch featuring Rosalina who is smiling warmly at the nearby Luma. This is a traditional sketch which I've added colour to digitally, just to make it look a bit more interesting. For example, I also decided to include a circle for the background behind Rosalina and the Luma, which features a purple-pink gradient to make it look like space; I even added a few sparkles here and there to make it look like stars. I also used the default Star brush from GIMP around the edge of the circle (small in size) in a white opaque overlay, and within the circle itself (which are a bit larger and are of a lighter opaque.) It's actually been quite a while since I drew Rosalina, so I just left this as a basic quick sketch. I was going to base it on her new amiibo figure's artwork, because I absolutely adore her expression in that piece of art (and I really hope that Nintendo releases the image in full) but I thought I'd just keep it simple....since her shoulders and the top bit of her dress was causing me a bit of grief. I still don't think its totally correct, but I'll sort it out (along with a couple of other things I've noticed) when I eventually get around to doing a digital version... || Artist: yesbutterfly (Image tags, included for clarity for the subject: supermario, supermariogalaxy, nintendo, fanart, rosalina, luma, sketch)

Image (Art): This is a piece of digital artwork that I did, which is fanart of a friends OC called Flyla, who belongs to @FierceTheBandit. Flyla is a cute bird-girl, whose species is known as a Cresent Owl. I decided to keep this piece simple, seeing as its just from a sketch that I did of her, it is a full body piece, with her standing there - but almost like she's either taking a step forward, or maybe she's just landed. I drew one of her wings (which act like arms) raised, whilst the other one is by her side. She's also looking towards the viewer. For the background, I kept it simple, with a double round circle - with the inner one being off-centre, which makes it look like there's a crescent moon in reference to her being a Crescent Owl. It's purple and light pink in colour as a contrast to Flya's colours. It's also textured with diagonal lines, and stars. I also want to add, that I was also slightly experimenting with the lineart and the colours that I've used, although I might tweak them a bit at some point since the "Night Light" setting I have on makes certain parts look a bit strange to me, but it probably looks fine for you. She looks very purple, although more blue without it on, so its a bit confusing for me about whether it looks right. But I'm still happy with how she turned out! || Artist: yesbutterfly.

Image (Art): A piece of cross-over fanart which I did in 2024, featuring Yumetaro from the video game Gimmick! (also known as Mr. Gimmick!) by Tomomi Sakai /Sunsoft, and Kirby from the Kirby series by Hal Laboratory Inc/Nintendo. I called this piece "Star Friends" as I believe that they would actually make good friends, Kirby is on his warp star looking at Yumetaro who is waving happily from his own star; which he can create himself to ride on. The two are surrounded by stars, alongside a couple of clouds to indicate they are airborn. I kept the center background (within a circle) soft and light almost pastel-like colours (blue/purple/pink) as I wanted the main focus to be on the two characters. || Artist: yesbutterfly (Image tags, included for clarity for the subject: gimmick! , mrgimmick , yumetaro,  kirby , nintendo , sunsoft , fanart digitalart )

Image (Art): This is an old piece of digital fanart that I did in 2019 of Chrissy and Francine from Animal Crossing using their pre-New Horizons 'designs.' It's just a simple piece with the two characters doing cutesy poses that I thought would be appropriate for their personality types. The background just features a circle, using the contrasting colours from each other (so Francine's blue, is used as the background for Chrissy's section, and the Pink from Chrissy is used for Francine's portion) to compliment the piece, with dots around the edge. I wanted a nice clean feel to the image to make it look like it could be on some sorta merch or something. || Artist: yesbutterfly.
