The wheel has decided and Arielle is the subject for this week's drawing! I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make her a catfish inspired mermaid. I cannot resist drawing Arielle showing off her claws.

I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to finish this week's drawing in time because I've been busy but I got it done. Thankfully, Leith ended up being an easy model that I could draw quickly. Ngl I love the excuse of drawing flowy lines in these mermaid drawings. #mermay #oc

It's May, so time to bring back the mermaids! I let the wheel decide which of my OCs gets to kick off the month this year so we have Hepsiba. I really love how this turned out. The arm fins are a nod to her usual shawl. #mermay #oc

Back to doing fun drawings again! Castalia has the ability to manipulate wind so here she is floating. Used this opportunity to play with coloring techniques again.

Finally finished that big drawing I was working on but didn't have time for a more involved drawing this week. Thought it would be fun to do another quick chibi so the wheel chose Calder for this week. Decided to let him much on his favorite food.

I was still working on the bigger drawing since the deadline was extended. I’ve shared this drawing before but not by itself. This is from OC birthday drawing series from 2018-2019. I really want to revisit drawing Denise’s tattoos at some point.

A couple years ago, I signed up to participate in a MAP. It ended up being delayed due to low participation but we began it last year and I illustrated this background based on the animatic. I did a rough pass but the MAP seemed to fizzle out so I'm sharing this at least. (I finally caught up!!!)

A couple weeks ago, I had a silly idea for a drawing, so here's my werewolf OC Kane sneaking some snacks at night. Since he's a werewolf, his eyes would reflect light in the dark and I thought it would be funny for something so mundane.

I was looking at the cover art for the First Take for Omokage by milet, Aimer, and Lilas Ikuta and wanted to draw the pose. It was a no brainer to use my spy trio: Techer, Simone, and Rielee. The pose just fit them so well. This makes me want to find other thumbnail poses and redraw them.

I'm getting really close to catching up to my posts on Tumblr and Instagram 😩 Once I catch up, I hope I can keep it up. I need to be better at posting on my accounts in general

Utilized the OC wheel again and it selected Mason. I decided to show him off brushing his hair since he has a lot of love for hair. Since it's a simple pose, I tried some brushes I haven't really used before. Not sure I'll use the markers for lineart ever again and the pastel was tricky to manage.

Last month, I went and saw GOAT and it made me want to do a drawing with my OC Arielle. I wanted to show her off angry and then decided to try some new coloring techniques, not sure if it made much of a difference but it was nice to try out.

Oh man am I excited to finally share this one. Last month, I saw Mamoru Hosoda's newest film Scarlet & finally finished watching The Rose of Versailles (1979), so naturally I was filled with the need to draw women with swords.

I posted this back in Feb since I was booked and busy so I felt a bit tired. I just did a quick doodle to give me a break.

I made some art to vent a lot of feelings that have been bubbling up over the past few years and currently. I haven't felt as passionate about my art in recent years because I'm just drawing my silly lil drawings of my OCs meanwhile people are struggling to survive.

The weather back in January made me want to draw something a bit cozy. So here's my OC Odeda enjoying a warm beverage while doing some reading. I know I'm overdue for a binge read and some hot chocolate or tea would go nicely with it.

I decided to make a spinning wheel of all my OCs to help me out when I'm stumped what to draw and my first spin chose Alisa. So here she is working in the forge. It was nice showing her doing her specialty for once.

Ok, last one for the night: I had an idea of what I was going to post this week and ended up tossing the idea to color an old sketch. Gotta love when dogs try to beg you for your food.

Another late one, I was looking at an art tip that suggested skipping the lineart phase and coloring straight from the sketch phase utilizing the lasso tool so I wanted to give it a try. Not really sure if I actually drew faster but it was nice doing a drawing of my OC Pari.

A late Happy New Year! Started 2026 off with a full illustration of the Senon Protection Squad watching the first sunrise of the year at the beach. This is inspired by a tradition my mom and I started back in 2020. 2026 has already been a lot; I plan to make the most of this year one way or another.

Here's my art vs artist for last year that I'm finally sharing here. I feel last year, I really went through the motions just to have something to post every week. It's also been tough staying motivated when so much has just been going on and doing art just doesn't feel as much of a priority.

I was looking at an old drawing and decided to do a little redraw. I considering drawing all 4 elementals at once but decided to take it slower. So first is my favorite element, fire. Last minute decided to edit the skin tone so we have two versions.

Was feeling exhausted all of last week so added color to an old digital sketch instead of what I originally planned on drawing.

I was planning on drawing something else and then I saw this drawing trend going around and decided to join in. I don't usually draw fanart so this is a nice break from the usual to draw #Frieren. I have attempted angles like this in the past and try to avoid it but can't improve if you quit, right?

Decided to challenge myself to draw an expression that I usually don't. The pose is also slightly different than usual. Then I decided to do lineless just cause. Ashton was the lucky OC chosen for this exercise which is very needed as her previous drawings are not my favorites.

Here's a drawing of my current dnd character, Tempest. The party is attending a party and the DM had us roll to see how sick our characters' outfits will be. I rolled real bad which the DM mercifully flavored where Tempest had a good fit but she threw her varsity jacket on top of it lol.

Back to posting art I did last awhile ago. In the last two weeks of October I had time gotten back to my regularly scheduled program of OCs in Halloween costumes! For Halloween Crystal and Mason decided to switch places with Crystal dressing as a vampire and Mason dressing as a siren.

Time for the final set in the series! Here is Calamity aka Peyton. As I was drawing this, I realizes I've never done a full bodied drawing of Peyton before but I made it work. It was fun figuring out a pose for her.

I ended up breaking my usual October tradition to continue this series with Sophia aka The Green Thumb. The beloved hero and former best friend of Leila. She's always been a bit self-absorbed. She misses fighting crime with Leila but she downplays her impact in the Incident.

Finally posting my backlog of art, starting with the mini series of drawings of civilian vs alter egos. I began with my favorite villainess OC, Leila aka the Black Butterfly. I wanted to overlay the two versions and have breaks to reveal the other below.

#artvsartist2025 It's that time of year again to post art vs artist. I feel like this year, I really went through the motions just to have something to post every week. Majority of what I drew this year were redraws and while I enjoy revisiting old art, that's not all I want to draw.

Did some doodling this week and updated Maura and Khiara's designs a bit. I may continue to update Khiara's design a bit further. I have changed this girl's hair several times but I like how I updated her hair to have some similarities to her sister's. #ocs

It's been minute since I drew my OC Alisa. I was debating what to draw and really wanted to draw one of my OCs so I went through a file I have dedicated to them and finished an old sketch. The og sketch was made before I updated Alisa's design so it was nice adapting it. #ocart

I decided to look into an older sketchbook to do another redraw and really expanded on it. I need to share the original sketch later. I think this is a sketchbook I had back in high school. It was also a great opportunity to play around with color which I haven't let myself do in a minute.

Completely forgot to schedule this post so it's a little later than usual! Another sketch redraw, where Fidele and Heather are gushing about how much they love their partners while Naomi and Vance just look at them blankly.

Finally had the chance to draw something new! This is a redraw of an old sketch of my OCs Rena and Luca. Luca got really excited and Rena is not a touchy feely friend.

Yet another late post: I haven't sat down at my cintiq all month so time for some pics from one of my sketchbooks for today. I'm really hoping I can do some new art over the weekend so we'll see what happens.

Now that artfight is over, it’s time to share this fun commission I got to do for one of my oldest friends! She’s been getting back into collecting pokemon cards and started a tiktok channel (pocketnemi). I had the honor of doing her profile picture. Go check her out!!

Doing Art Fight again this year. I had a commission at the start of the month so had a slow start. I hope I can pick up the pace from now. Here are my attacks from week 1 & 2. IdolFan85 belongs to sigmaeichi Sunz belongs to Claiborne Forget-Me-Not belongs to marinscos Cherry belongs to Breadstore

Started playing a new #dnd campaign last week so it's time to share my new character! Meet Tempest Stormclaw, a bronze dragonborn paladin with a fatal flaw of just really wanting to help folks. She has some intense scarring and people feel the presence of death if they hang out with her too long.

I'm always avoiding drawing my OCs in profile so this was a way to push myself. Can't improve if you don't practice, right? Heather's enjoying a rainy day. I actually drew this a month ago and delayed posting because of mermay. I almost forgot I never posted this. #oc #ocart

To end mermay, I thought it would be nice to do a little animation. Here's my boy Jaheem swimming. #mermay #animation #2danimation #mermaid #merman

I was struck with the desire to do a jellyfish mermaid. This was the second version of this drawing and like how it turned out. #mermay #mermay2025

This week is the shadow twins Khiara and Maura. Maybe I should've used a more contrasting duo for this overlapping pose but it was fun drawing them. I really like how the sketch came together in the end. #mermay #mermay2025

Time for some catch up again: This week we have a mer zombie with Mas. He's also has his skelekitty. One of these days I'll draw these two's anatomy accurately. #mermay #mermay2025

It's time for some OC Mermay art! I'm looking forward to having a theme for this month. Starting off this year, I have the friend duo Parivash and Cherry. I want to explore more interactions with OCs that have connections that I don't draw together consistently.

I had a post for last week that I accidentally didn't schedule and that's going to be another week now. Instead, I'm running late to an art trend but that's what happens when you ghost social media like I have. I could not pass up an opportunity for an anti ai trend. This was fun! #starterpacknoai

I drew this awhile ago as one of those drawing trends to make a demon or angel OC based. I don't even know how to find the audio because I barely remember it. I ended up not sharing it for some reason and now he finally gets to see the light of day. Not sure if I'll add him to the official line up.

Whoops I'm a couple posts behind again, let me fix that real quick.
