Can't believe it's been 10 years since I drew the Aang that started me on my animation journey. I entered it into an open call for submissions at Gallery Nucleus during their Avatar Anniversary show and was blown away to hear Bryan himself purchased it. And after all these years, I'm now a character designer on the next entry in the series 🥹🧡 I couldn't be more grateful for this fateful encounter

Sketches of some of the Character/Streamer designs I'd seen from the character introductions on the POWCreations tiktok page while I watch Ren's POV of Day 1 :D

Legit a real dream I had recently, and it was so funny I had to draw it out.

A bit of necessary backstory you probably weren't taught in western history class: During the 1800s, western Europe along with Russia, USA, and Japan were trying their hardest to colonize (and terrorize) China (which culminated in what was called the "Eight Nation Alliance"). The most symbolic tragedy of that era, that every Chinese kid knows about, was the burning of the Summer Palace, or "Yuanmingyuan". French and British soldiers set fire to everything and looted as much as they could, and around 300 maids and eunuchs perished in that event.

I dreamed that a maid and a eunuch were holding each other in that fire, with the maid tearfully promising the eunuch that she would find him again. I don't know what their relationship was - platonic or romantic - but they felt deeply for each other. And then my dream skips a thousand years where they're reborn. The ex-eunuch (lol) realizes that the scary, big man that always hangs around him is the cute little maid that he had an ambiguous relationship with in that previous life.

I was so shocked and amused by this plot twist in my own dream that I woke up. It's such a good concept that I am drawing more parts, and part 2 is on my Patreon @ januarysun!

Cowboys happened to be a recent subject of fixation so I was very happy to learn of this SMP through Scott lol.

The thing about the "white cube" style of art gallery display is that it's actually not letting you appreciate the art in a vacuum. Art looks different in different displays, and I appreciate the attempt to solve that problem, but a blank white wall is itself an aesthetic, it has its own cultural connotations and background and associations. It is not devoid of extraneous meaning. A white cube is not a vacuum, it is a white cube. It looks sterile, empty, industrial. Not all art was meant to be displayed in a white cube. Leonardo Da Vinci never intended for the Mona Lisa to be displayed in a white cube. There is no such thing as a vacuum.

‼️My parents need help‼️

I’m not one to make these kinds of post, but here we go. My parents are currently running a cat rescue, all of their money goes to helping the cats in any way they can and they are running out of support.

My sister and I can only do so much to help them. They really make such a difference in their community, and we need to help them any way we can.

If you can spare any amount, please donate, check out their Amazon wishlist, or take a look at the adoption pages below.

Please spread the word if you can. It means the world to me and my family and all the cats they care for.

Thank you so much for reading. I apologize again for having to try this out 🫶❤️

A few weeks ago I finished a chapter for a Code Lyoko manga fanfic. It is 100% just a fan-work that I've been doing between commissions and not official in any way, but it is still one of my favorite things I have made this year. So, I went ahead and created a concept cover for the first volume of the manga (in the event that I get to keep making more of it).

If you wanna check it out on Webtoon, here ya go

Also, I have a patreon in case you guys wanna see my art early 👉👈

Reblogs are appreciated! Please let me know if this is something you guys would wanna see more of <3
