An illustration featuring a lady knight dressed in plated armour with a motif of jagged geometric slots etched in each piece. Sharp gold accents jut out from the visor, gauntlets, and boots. She is standing in a defensive position with her hand ready to pull a sword from its sheath. Several silver swords float around her and her shadow grows tall into the shape of a fortress.

An illustration featuring a moth girl themed on a Pacific Green Sphinx. She is wearing several layers of green, gold, and black clothing to mimic the wings and overall fluffiness of the moth and posed jumping with her wings flaring out behind her. One hand is raised to hold a moth on her fingers which is looks up at with a smile. In the background is a willow tree with mushrooms growing at its base and fungus up along the trunk. Fireflies dance in the leaves as golden light filters in from above.

Another set of original collabs done with @armatages.bsky.social for future foil prints! These two were very complicated pieces that ended up with a lot of adjusting to get the balance right on each, but they turned out so cool D<
