Thank you! It’s funny how editing this all together made me realise how simple brush strokes can produce something we can recognize, like a dog! About the half way point I wondered whether it’ll look good at all!

My boss just spotted this on my desk today and asked "Why have you drawn Pikachus' goth ex-girlfriend"?

From start to finish. This (and the previous one) was a delight to paint!

An alcohol marker drawing of my OC Gabriel, a Filipino with curly hair and blonde highlights. Gabriel has freckle-like pigmentation all over his body, shown off with a t-shirt tied up into a crop top. The shirt is pink, and her pants are green, colors which also appear in the background flower-shaped doodles and the markers in the top corner of the image.

Back at it again (putting my OCs in Wicked-inspired fits for absolutely no reason)

[Gabriel, any pronouns]

A digital painting of an angelic figure who is gripping a beautiful incandescent sword, this blue-skinned figure is wreathed in cosmic light and shimmers with possibility. His gaze is firm but fair, filled with wisdom.

The world feels heavy today. When I created ‘Lightbearer’, I received a message about the unextinguishable light within us all. In dark times, our job isn’t to fix everything, but to tend our own flame. 🕯️🧵

Yeah, it is inevitable! But I think if you just focus on grammar and vocabulary, you’ll come across the kanji that is most common and useful and either you sit down and study those or just wait for them to be absorbed into your brain. That’s what I hope will happen for me anyway!😅

Watercolour and pen drawings of owls and herons in a messy fantasy style.

I really have been enjoying owls lately.
(And a stray heron in there too).

The two bigger ones are on their way to the US at the moment, the smaller ones are ACEOs up for auction until Saturday 🎉

I had a spark of inspiration to draw owls recently, and I think it’s because of your work…🥰

FF8 was my first FF game and it sits comfortably in a special place in my heart…but I know it’s not the best. I can’t even tell you what the game is about!! But I think I just enjoyed the world, the fighting (I’m probably in the minority where I write like the junction system!), the characters…

Not sure what you know, and also what you want to focus on but do that!! Focus on something like either listening, grammar, writing because doing everything at once is A LOT! As for me, I’m focusing on listening and speaking, forget kanji! I’ll deal with that later!

I’ve known about them for a while - SIL bought me some lil blank Artist Trading cards and I was like “wat dis?” And she explained that you can draw lil pics and trade the art with fellow artists and I was: “that’s a thing!?” But I haven’t really been interested until recently….

ACEOs…what’s your opinion on them?

I’m thinking of doing some but would like to hear from seasoned artists! What kind of subjects are good? Where do you sell them? How much for? Etc etc. Tell me everything!

I also would like to hear from collectors. What do you like? What’s important to you?

I’ve always joked that he’s secretly my dad (coz he kinda looks like him, normally, not as Walter White!). And now this just confirms it, because he has the same birthday as my dad!

Also, please check out this awesome artist’s work!!

Yes and no. You need to do the heavy lifting when it comes to promoting your services. But I believe I got some commissions because those commissioners have accounts on Vgen. I also feel it’s adds a safeguard for those who are nervous about commissioning - verification, reviews, portfolio etc.
