I was watching The Crow (the original one) while working on a painting... and I couldn't shake the idea that it would probably be less cheesy if it were an anime. So I doodled it. Hehe. I can't be the only one who thinks this, right?? #illustration #fanart #digitalart #Crow

I'm getting better at blending what I learn from traditional back into my digital, I think. 🤔 (This is from a project I'm working on right now) His shirt is via: eyepatchwolves.com/products/cro... @getinthegustaff.bsky.social #illustration #digitalIllustration #DigitalArt

OOOhhh I've been busy! Sorry for the silence! Here's something I've been working on for a bigger project I can't show you just yet. ;) #digitalArt #illustration #CharacterIllustration #blackArtist

Happy new year~! 2026

I’ve decided next year that the way I’ll try getting better will be the way I got better at digital art. 3 colors. Just 3. But I have yet to decide what those colors will be… 🤔

It’s way too easy for people to be mean to each other online. I’m trying consciously to not be that person. I hope more people try to, too.

🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS!!🎄 @kaato.bsky.social got me #holbein #Guache for Christmas!!! 🤩 Time to test them out!

A very handsom little lad :') #cats

Progress on the final piece. Slowly but surly coming along! My studio space is not hip or glamorous, sorry. 😅 Maybe I should do a very unglamorous studio tour someday? 🤔😅 #painting #illustration #SEL #LetsAllLoveLain

By no means am I good at sewing… but I’m proud of it!! To give you some context, this is Bongo! A character I created a few years back now when I was first getting to know my future stepson. He recently misplaced the original stuffy I made, so I thought I’d try to improve on the original. TRY. lol.

I might be terrible at this….

Working on a Christmas present. 🙈

It was a really fun commission!! Thank you Grint for the fun challenge! 🩷

BOWOWOW #e33

I find myself watching other people play #E33 just so I can vicariously experience the wonder of playing the game for the first time again. lol

Today's #watercolor #doodle is playing a game of fowl. 😏 Male peacocks get all the fun... but still, I wanted to play with their feathers. #illustration #sketchbook #traditionalArt #blackartist

Holy cow!! I can't believe we hit 1,000 so soon! Thank you so so so much for following me along on my journey to self-improvement. It's been really motivating. I've been super creative thanks to you. ❤️ Super quick one! This one is for you guys. ❤️❤️❤️ #doodle #sketchbook #illustration #TraditionalArt

Today is a #commissions kind of day. I worked on three different commissions all day haha. Here's one of the sketches that I really like the vibe of so far. Moody moods all around... PLUS corgi. <3 #sketch #digitalart #sketchbook #illustration #blackartist

The #FaeOfTheDay (yeah, it’s officially a thing! Hehe) 2.5 hours. This is my first time drawing in my big girl watercolor book instead of my sketchbook. Finally got up the nerve haha. How’d I do? I’m getting the hang of #watercolor again. #illustration #sketchbook #traditionalArt #blackartist

REVISIONS. What do you think? Which do you like better? This one or the one I did yesterday? I THINK I like this composition better? 🤔 #SEL #sketchbook #traditionalArt #illustration

A little bit of fairy doodle before bed. :3 Finding the harmony between my digital style and my traditional style is fun~~ #illustration #blackartist #fairyart #watercolor #marker #sketchbook

Working on a #commission. Can you tell what #anime? I don't always do fan art... but when I do, it's always fun. #fanart #illustration #traditionalart #watercolor #marker

Up next is Hunie!! My personal favorite. The MLM queen. She stays in the DMs of all of her contacts, and she’s always got a herbal solution to your delusional problems. I love her. :3 #illustration #characterdesign #sketchbook #gamedev

Just watched a video about NanoBanana3 and now I feel… depressed. 😔

Officially working on a big game project next year satirizing the skuzzy nature of capitalism! I’m doing all the art for it. 😱 Gonna need a lot of moral support lol! Literally drawing art for over 100 cards PLUS original art! First character design! #illustration #characterDesign #sketchbook

BONUS! Super quick doodle, trying to do my very best Amano impression. lol. Super quick. Janky hands. Shhhh. #Sketchbook #Doodle #blackartist #Illustration

#sketchbook page time! Another fairy today. I'm really in a fairy kind of mood recently. #watercolor #marker #acrylic #doodle #blackartist

This shit would be absolutely hilarious if I didn't hear executives chomping at the bit about how to do this for their own projects... INSANE. Anime dubbing has come SOOO far to only become this...?

Sketchbook page for today. #sketchbook #doodle #blackartist

I don’t always doodle fan art… but when I do, it’s when I’ve discovered a black main character in a mainstream manga! #Desscaras from #ichiTheWitch My heart!!! 💜 I’ve never seen a female black main character in a Japanese manga be so interesting and multifaceted, AND MOST OF ALL, CUTE! 🥰

Today's doodle. #illustration #sketchbook #blackartist

I quit Adobe today. It's just too FUCKING expensive man.

As I set off on this "traditional art journey", I'm remembering the hardest part for me... TAKING PICTURES THAT LOOK GOOD. D: Because of the colors I use, I am having just an awful time trying to capture the vibe. Any advice? (my latest attempt + style mods) #traditionalart #Watercolor #sketchbook

So the big project I’m working on is comic related. I’m trying to sort out which hair I like best. I have an idea of what I like… but I’m curious to know what you guys think? What’s your fav letter? #illustration #watercolor #blackartist

I’m working on something silly though. #sneakpeek

I has a sick. 🤧

Peace Lily

My drawing study of Nanaco Yashiro’s (one of my most favorite illustrators) eyes. I love how they feel like characters. #watercolor #illustration

The VOD of the emergency stream -- where I had to drop everything and bash my head against the bizarrely bad Silent Hill 2 movie trailer -- is up! Dunno how region-locked it'd be, but it's not monetized cuz I doubt that'd fly copyright-style lol youtu.be/LwW1OEFVRDo

Instagram is really giving me the blues these days. Been trying to fight the blues away by doing more traditional work. AI can’t do what I can do. 🦋🦋 #watercolor #traditional

Playing spooky games with summer on Twitch!! Come watch!! www.twitch.tv/summer_the_l...

I’ve been working my butt off a lot these days learning how to draw things I don’t usually draw… I’m trying to giddy up and get better at horses… how am I doing?? #horses #horseart #horsegirl #unicorn #fantasyArt

Join the BLACK PARADE. #myChemicalRomance

Hey hello!! I want to share something personal and I hope you’ll listen. My good friend’s son, and one of my models in the past, was diagnosed with Leukemia. He’s doing well, but their family is in need of additional support. If you can, it would be so greatly appreciated.

In your 30’s, It’s hard to find time to spend time with the people you love. I’m super thankful I got the chance to hang out with @voidburger.com , @chipcheezum.bsky.social , @shaodowmusic.bsky.social , @lotusjuice.bsky.social and @kaato.bsky.social in Tokyo this week, even if it wasn’t long.

Good time! Good vibes! Good food!! So awesome seeing all the cool people in one place. ❤️❤️❤️

1. Finally downloaded the app. 2. Finally figured out how to unlock my DMs. Internet be making me feel old sometimes. 🫠

I am looking for freelance illustration work! If there's something you need illustration for, be it character design, or a cool OC, message me!!

New video on the reality of Japanese women in 2025 Since a lot of English YouTube content about Japanese women caters to Western men's fantasy, I've always wanted to make a video about the mundane reality of Japanese women based dry facts, statistics, and testimonies. Enjoy! youtu.be/Mnn3cCbhTxk
