Current State of NaLu:

The new 100YQ chapter just reaffirms the current theory of Natsu thinking him and Lucy are dating without asking her or knowing that she doesn't think the same 😭.

NaLu was never "will they, won't they", it's "when will they (realize that they're totally not on the same page about their relationship despite having mutual feelings because one is thinking about marriage while the other is convinced her feelings are unrequited)"

Anyways I'm free from exams so I'll have free time!!! I'll try to improve my art lol. Toodles—!

Based on: "A Mage, A Dragon and A Baby" by crystalisedglyth on AO3

Guess who found out about the photobashing method for backgrounds? Me! I smashed a bunch of stock photos together and painted over them to make that background. Funsies.

Close-up of the art down here!

I did lineart btw, be amazeeeedddd 😔

Welcome to Giltina!

HEHEHEHEHE Happy FT 100YQ anime announcement! I made this as tribute! Please don't ask about Natsu's arms, I don't want to remember.

[imnothereokuwu]

they're everything to me, your honour

Bye, I'm changing my profile picture. It's practically the same picture anyway.

✨🔀🔥

Inspired by the new Lucy figure and also an old picture I found on Pinterest

I'm pretty sure the source was Tumblr but I can't find it sadly.

《My Fairy Tail Fanart Collection! (Pt.5)》

August 2021 to September 2021

Pastels, pastel colors everywhere!

Looking back, some of these are embarrassing 😃. But that's not gonna stop me from posting it lol.

You maybe thinking there's an oddball in this one with the coloring, the humanized Grandeeneey and Igneel. Well that's because they're matching coloring with another thing entirely, the artwork I'm still most proud of to this day lol. It's going to be posted separately after all of the other 2021 art so look forward to that!

Let's go on a date under the Sakura Trees. 🌸

This is a redraw! Of one of my first Fairy Tail fanart. It's been 3 years since I made it, time sure flies.

The side by side ⬇️⬇️⬇️

This was certainly an experiment ✨

I'm literally so weak for baby human!Happy and grumpy Natsu (Lucy loves her boys so much rehdjmtjehmewh).

《My Fairy Tail Fanart Collection! (Pt.4)》

June 2021 to July 2021

This is the desaturated colors and Me vs. actually sketching era.

I have no idea why I was against myself these two months because everything was amiss and I struggled big time 💀.

Oh well, this consists of attempts of big artworks (that failed tremendously), a bunch of small artworks, a silly comic, a new AU (that got a bit of a revamp on 2022), and something inspired by the City Hero omake!

Natsu's hair is a pain back then and now, difference is I can't draw him with his bangs down now 😩🤌🏼

《My Fairy Tail Fanart Collection! (Pt.3)》

May 2021

We skip from March to May! I was pretty busy on April so I didn't draw anything (I remember it was junior high graduation exams back then). So I pretty much went ham on May xD.

Zervis is THE best. If it wasn't for NaLu they'd be my top 1 ship. The 100YQ Beta Heaven chapter gave me LIFE.

There's that one Jerza art I made as a DTIYS entry @/cagysole16 on Instagram! Jerza is my 3rd favorite ship after NaLu and ZerVis.

It's interesting but expected to see some different coloring styles here, I've always loved experimenting. I should do that more actually...

《My Fairy Tail Fanart Collection! (Pt.2)》

March 2021

March 2021 was a productive month smh 💀. It's so weird seeing how many artworks I'd make in a span of a month when right now I'm struggling (watching FT again really helps tho)

The Frosch art was made because it was apparently Frosch day and the buff one is just a manifestation of "Lmao what if Frosch transformation turns out buff like Lily's?!"

Please Ignore Natsu's janky abs 😩 I'm on my knees begging for you not to look—!

The sketch one is inspired by the many Chaos!Natsu AU fanfics I consumed like a madman back then. I wanted to make my own, I have other stuff regarding it but I'm never ready to commit to something that big lmao

When you ask your dragon slayer boyfriend things right after he gets off a train:

Thought I should post this reel on Tumblr as well! 💕

《My Fairy Tail Fanart Collection! (Pt.1)》

January 2021 to February 2021

Woah! So I found out Tumblr has a limit of ten photos. Not good because I have like a hundred of these and they're not even the recent ones 💀.

I'm starting to regret my decision but my friends would hunt me down if I don't keep my promise 😭

Hi! I hope everyone had fun today with the NaLu gift exchange! Thanks to @allaboutnalu for hosting the event, it was a great experience for me and I just know I wouldn't have done it without this gift exchange 🤭. I mean, I was introduced to Fairy Tail at the beginning of this year and I just fell in love with this pairing right at the start 😅... But this is my first time drawing them 🤭

This is my gift for @imnothereokuwu! First of all, happy holidays! 🎉💐 Second of all, I hope you like it! 🥹 I had a hard time trying to decide what I wanted to gift you. I saw your art and I really loved it, especially your AU pieces! 💜💜💜 They were very interesting and they got me thinking that I wanted to write a little something along those lines "There are some people destined to love each other across every universe", hence this piece and all those words 😅. Also, I like to draw, but I'm still not very good at it 🫠 and I can only do it traditionally, so sorry about that 😭! I have been trying to learn watercolors and it's still not great, but I decided to try with your gift 🤗. So yeah, just wanted to give you a little fluff today! 💜

It's NaLu gift exchange ✨🔥

Thanks to @allaboutnalu for hosting the event! This gift is for a long-time mutual of mine (I somehow got them by chance) @hollie-artz! Hope you like it! Thanks for being my mutual ever since I was sorta awful at art, you were a true trooper 😔
