For my course's most recent assignment we had to redo a bad comic cover. I ended up redoing the volume 5 cover for Ouran High School Host Club. (I loooove Ouran but what is my man WEARING)

Earthbound hierarchy cover for class! This one took an especially long time, I'm proud of how it turned out! The composition was difficult and I worked hard to push the pallete.

Bug fashion! Some outfits for my sona :> (the middle one is an outfit I actually have, yes that's the Pukicho Tax Evasion hoodie LMAO) Bug also has a magical girl outfit!! I really like the idea of a black magical girl transformation, where instead of their hair getting longer and more flowing, it gets braided into box braids!

My first acrylic charm is up on Etsy and Kofi!! I've actually had these drawn for a couple months, I finally got the chance to get them manufactured! Those of you who saw me at UI-Con have already seen these :> This first one features Marjorine, and has extra segments for the "future-telling device" and her little bunny slippers <3

Thank you! So sorry for the late reply, here were the main cards I used as references!

Another cover for class! The theme for this one was "mortal enemies." I did mewtwo fighting mew from the first pokemon movie :> This was my first time drawing energy and lightning like this, I referenced a bunch of pokemon cards.

All my filler stickers are available as sets now on Etsy and Kofi! People kept asking to buy the full sets, so I decided to make them their own listing :> I really appreciate the interest!

The last two events to close out this Spring! I finally got into my school's art sale (YES!!!!!), and I'll also be appearing at MightyCon Madison in May. To be honest, it's unlikely I'll be able to sell at another event until fall, so let's end this semester with a bang! <3

Made this a few weeks ago for my comics class! The assignment was to make a cover about love interests or a duo- and these two are both! I pulled an all nighter before it was due to get it done, after counting the time, it took me 15.5 hours to complete. I got a really good critique on this and I'm proud :D I sold this as a print at UI-Con, and hopefully will have it listed online soon!

Last weekend's UI-Con was a BLAST!! It's by far the best convention I've ever done. It was run incredibly smoothly, staff was helpful and kind, and it was so much fun! Super impressive for a first year event. Whether you're selling or attending, I'd definitely recommend going next year! Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello! It was amazing and surreal to meet people who are familiar with my work and I really appreciate all of the nice words :) <3

February 2024's stickers of the month! Shiny mew in it's cute cafe mix outfit, Jax suffering through minimum wage (relatable), and Tweek and Craig as pokemon trainers based off a team I made for them :> These stickers will be available to Kofi members!

Happy Pokemon Day!!! To celebrate, here are all the pokeball drawing I've done in the past two months! I made them based off shinies I've caught as well as requests from Anime ZAP. Stop by at UI-Con this weekend and suggest some more pokemon for me to draw! <3

I'm taking an awesome new class this semester about creating comic book covers! For our first assignment we each chose a character we liked and gave it to another student to draw. I was assigned Miraculous Ladybug, so here's my cover for her!

A Christmas gift I made for my wonderful cousin, Neko Alien! Both of us love Assassination Classroom, and they were the one that introduced me to it. Here's our favorite weird octopus dad being supportive <3 This was my first time using my new Ohuhu brush markers! They're so nice, I really want to make more marker art!

Here's a better look at the three January 2024 stickers for my sticker club! These were so fun to make (especially Ragatha) because I can make them more specific and curated to my own tastes.

I've spent a good while on this and now it's finally ready! I'm launching Kofi tiers and a monthly sticker club! There are 3 tiers, the Hatchling Tier gets you into the sticker club where you get to choose 3 new stickers I make and then receive them by mail each month! Since it just started, I designed the first three :> As for the rest of the tiers, I already have a TON of exclusive artwork hosted on my Kofi, including 30 sketched pages of a Kingdoms of Seasons comic and a bunch of pokemon drawings. I also have a handful of South Park sketches and animatics to upload there too!
