As mentioned in my rebrand post, I'm working on setting things up to start taking commissions in July! Thank you for your patience, and your support. :) I can't wait to collaborate and create something that's truly unique to you! 🤗 #retrorainbowsart #commissions #digitalillustration #90snostalgia

I've rebranded! Welcome to Retro Rainbows, my independent illustration business run by me. 🌈 My art and approach will remain the same, but everything will be consolidated under a soft pastel umbrella. Credit to Sonic Bark in Chilliwack BC for the branding designs! Thank you!!

Back in February, I did a two-piece tribute to my favourite 'mon, Eevee, and my favourite Eeveelution, Sylveon for Pokémon's 30th anniversary! Who's excited for Winds & Waves next year?? 🥳 And which generation was your first? #retrorainbowsart #pokemonfanart #pokemon30th #90snostalgia

Happy 40th to the Legend of Zelda! Diving back into traditional art with this modern!AU Princess Zelda portrait. I used Copic/Ohuhu alcohol markers and Enmy acrylic markers. They're super fun to paint with! ✨ #zelda40th #legendofzelda #fanart #pastelaesthetic #chilliwackartist #copic #enmy #ohuhu

New sticker designs! The "Magical Mini" set is based on my lovely void, Mini. <3 I tried to keep the painting simple, but the details & colours were just too fun! xD #voidcat #blackcat #stickerart #pastelaesthetic #chilliwackartist #rainbows #digitalart #digitalpainting #krita #stickerdesign

The Legend of Zelda: Rebuilding Hyrule 💖 The Pokopia announcement made me excited for a Zelda x Animal crossing game, so I spent like 9 hours over the weekend drawing this 😅

Last Outfit of the Day! The universe decided to challenge me with this one: I've been busy lately, and it took a long time for the drawing to fall into place! I'm happy with how it's turned out though :) #ootd #krita #digitalart #pastelaesthetic #90snostalgia #y2k #copics #creativechilliwack

Third Outfit of the Day! Getting more into stuff inspired by my outfits now xD I smooshed several of my tops together to get this GameGirl shirt! (The katakana reads "Gemu Gaaru") :3 The original was very different to start with! #ootd #digitalart #krita #pastelaesthetic #90s #Y2K #copics #gameboy

Second Outfit of the Day! I wanted to do new characters in outfits inspired by my own this time, instead of always drawing myself. The sweater is true 90s vintage, with art by Ken Done! #krita #digitalart #pastelaesthetic #90snostalgia #australia #creativechilliwack #ootd #copics #traditionalart

More concept art study sketches! This time I referenced Yusuke Nakano, lead artist on the Zelda Oracle games and Ocarina of Time. I'm loving getting back to this sort of drawing! Used to do this a lot as a kid. <3 #zeldafanart #sketchbook #oot #oracleofages #oracleofseasons #sketching #fanart

Outfit of the Day! I was inspired after playing #FashionDreamer on Switch again :D I have this outfit IRL! Maybe one day I'll have the hair, too :3 #ootd #krita #digitalart #creativechilliwack #pastelaesthetic #nintendoswitch

I've been kinda busy since Chilliwack Pride! Mostly with life things - I'm doing okay :) I recently took some time to go back to my roots with these full pose sketches! These are inspired by Ken Sugimori's concept art for Pokemon gens 1 & 2. #sketchbook #pokemonfanart #characterdesign

I love finding other illustrators on here - I've seen some incredible work! Aadorah's style is so flowy and consistent, and the way they use COLOURS?? Unreal <3 Super adorable and inspirational! ✨🤌

If you're in Chilliwack this weekend, I'll be tabling at Chilliwack Pride on Sunday! My booth - purple booth #9 - will be on Victoria Avenue, right between the foodtrucks! There'll be loads of other amazing vendors and performers there as well! #chilliwackpride #pride2025 #creativechilliwack

Hey guys! I'm alive - just been busy getting everything ready for the Chilliwack Pride Festival on the 13th. Turns out I *still* need a few more things to get my setup as good as it can be 🥲 I'm excited to see how the final setup will look though! ✨🌈 #chilliwackpride #pride2025 #textpost

I have an Instagram now! It's still pretty new, but I'm mostly using it to connect with my local art community. :) You can find me at www.instagram.com/siraea.art/ ✨ #instagram #socialmedia #pastelaesthetic #pastels #digitalart

Material study - Metal Man, turns out trying to paint metal as a sphere is super challenging?! I'd like to revisit this later on, but I still had fun! Looking forward to doing more of these with different materials - especially ones of faux fur and crystal! #DigitalPainting #MaterialStudy #Krita

I said this to my friend last night and I think it's a good thing to think about: If no one else, make art for your younger self. Make art of your ocs that your younger self would have dreamed to be able to draw. Make art that would make them keyboard smash an excited reply to. Make art for you.

Retro Rainbows 2025 It's been 3 months, and I'm finally done for now. <3 I hope this series has made some people smile, & that they can see themselves in one of the pieces. I'll see you at Chilliwack's Pride Festival on July 13th! (Will say a bit more in the comments.) #RetroRainbows #Pride2025

Retro Rainbows 7: Hero of Time (Gay) Last but certainly not least! Ocarina of Time was my favourite game growing up. :) The pose was referenced from a stock photo by @adorkastock.com ! #RetroRainbows #QueerArt #OcarinaofTime #fanart #90s #Krita #DigitalArt #nostalgia #pastels #Pride2025

Retro Rainbows 6: Netrunner (Trans) This one took so long, but it was worth it! I'm super jazzed/proud of how it turned out ☺️✨ One more piece to go for Pride, though I want to do more in the future! #RetroRainbows #QueerArt #Pride2025 #Cyberpunk2077 #80s #90s #DigitalArt #Krita #Scifi #fanart

You do the best you can for yourself and hopefully people like what you do enough to help you keep doin’ it! 🫶❤️ If you make cool stuff people with similar good tastes will find you eventually this is how the ‘net is supposed to be.

thought this was really beautiful

Retro Rainbows 6: Netrunner (Trans) [WIP] I've been very inspired by the 80s/90s cyberpunk retrofuturism for this one! Colours and lighting are WIP. :) #RetroRainbows #QueerArt #cyberpunk #pride2025 #Pride #trans #80s #90s #nostalgia #DigitalArt #Krita #WIP

Supurrvisor Mini says Happy #Caturday ! :3 If she's not chilling on top of my PC (soaking up all that vented heat haha), she's on my husband's lap, or gently munching on all my office supplies xD #blackcat #pastelrainbows #voidcats #caturday #kawaii

Pokemon fanart sketch from 2017 for #FanartFriday this week! My first Pokemon game was Red/Blue on Gameboy Colour, back in 1999. :) I'll have new art to post soon! Just been getting over a nasty cold. D: #Pokemonfanart #pokemon #traditionalart #sketchbook #kawaiiart #fanart #eevee #sylveon

Old ACNH fanart timelapse I did in 2021 on Procreate of myself and two plushies I turned into villagers. I can't find the image now, sadly, and my iPad seems to have gone to Valhalla 🥲 (Forgot to charge it for ages & now it won't turn on...) #FanartFriday #ACNH #fanart #digitalart #art #kawaiiart
