I'M BAAAAAACK Sorry for being away - it's been 100 days since my father's passing and the past 4 months I've been travelling all over the world. Soon I hope to show you some highlights of my journeying. Raking in money, raking in air miles and looking like a rake 😎 But I'm every woman

Frieren Looking Up - ifykyk lol Real talk though, it is a genuinely tricky angle, especially if you need to streamline it down to clean lines in a simpler anime style and stick to flat colouring. Anyway, that's today's warm-up before I get onto my real work...

It was busy yesterday at Thought Bubble! Despite this much stuff on my table, I still couldn't display everything I wanted, lol Today's the last day, try make it here before 5pm! So many creators to see, so much cool stuff that supports real human artists/writers, get your Christmas gifts done!

Well after Neuvillette I had to draw Wriothesley. Him and his wolfy hair, high boots, handcuffs, loose necktie 👀 I was torn between making him drink tea and this pose but obviously this was more alluring #wriothesley #genshin #genshinimpact #genshinimpactfanart #sketch #wip #artwip

Our favourite Hydro DPS king Neuvillette from Genshin Impact - this took me way longer than I thought it would 😭 Stabilo fineliners, coloured with various felt tip markers #neuvillette #neuvillettegenshinimpact #GenshinImpact #genshinimpactfanart #sketch #myart #genshin #art

It's my birthday today so I thought I'd show proof of life! The world is exhausting at the moment, and I've been really busy with work recently so I've only had the spoons to decompress with playing video games instead of updating all of my social media. Will treat myself properly this weekend tho~

Just so we're clear here, the UK Supreme Court ruling is not carte blanche to discriminate against trans women. I am angry with how transphobic bigots are weaponising it. You don't improve cis women's rights by eroding trans women's rights. Oppressed groups need to work together to find solutions.

Here's a marker sketch commission I did of Assassin's Creed Shadows Yasuke and Naoe surrounded by tanuki ♥️ #assassinscreed #assassinscreedshadows #acshadows #sketch

Off-duty part-time model signing in with a post fashion-shoot sweet treat! Should have some fun shots to show you all soon!

Another Chinese New Year artwork from me! Rua from my Chronicles Of Ciel fantasy light novel series, dressed as a traditional Feitian fairy from Chinese legends. I used fineliners and felt tip markers #chinesenewyear #ChineseNewYear2025 #YearoftheSnake #YearOfTheWoodSnake #oc #originalcharacter

Happy Lunar New Year everyone! 2025 is the Year of the Wood Snake, so being a Genshin Impact fan, I couldn't NOT draw Baizhu and his snake companion, Changsheng! Baizhu is also a Dendro user, the element for plants and wood! #genshinimpact #Baizhu #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear #yearofthesnake

Happy New Year! Forgot to post my Art vs Artist 2024! I've returned to traditional media hence why there's less digital pieces in there. It's a great way to compete as a human artist against the slop of generative Artificial Inelegance / plagiarism software 😉 #artvsartist #artvsartist2024

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year! See you in 2025 ♥️🎄🎉 (Rua and Silas from my fantasy light novel series The Chronicles of Ciel, drawn with coloured fineliners and felt tip markers) #christmas #xmas #art

Thought I'd upload a digital sketch vs final today, here's one from a few years back! I like drawing my OCs in cosplay during Halloween, so it's a Good Omens parody / homage piece #sketchvsfinal #goodomens #originalcharacter #ocs #art #digitalart

Wednesday is great for art WIPs, here's one from a while back I did of one of my original characters Rua (she is a foxgirl/kitsune) with a cat. fineliners and markers Chameleon AP, been featured in many things in case this piece looks familiar! #sketchvsfinal #artwip #artprocess #art

I cut my own hair myself into an extra long wolf / hush with disconnected layers, I think it works! Gotta keep up my reputation of looking like an anime character 😄
