2020, 2025 Fuck 🖕 Al

I have been wanting to draw Shinobu for years and after watching Demon Slayer Infinity Castle I had to finally do it. I love an intelligent girl with an indomitable will 💜🦋 Back view and details are up in my Ko☕fi in the B l 0 #shinobu #demonslayer #demonslayercosplay #kimetsunoyaiba

Happy December! I can't believe we are already in the month of December. Have a seasonally appropriate post with a throwback to my Anastasia Once Upon A December gown redesign art 💛🩵 #anastasia #onceuponadecember #princesscostume #princesscosplay #costumedesign

Been catching up on Ranma 1/2! I love Shampoo's cat form so much. She is too cute! Have a throwback to my designs for Shampoo 🐱💜 #ranma #ranma1/2 #shampoo #animeart #illustration

Continuing my Demon Slayer butterfly sister design set with Kanao 🦋🌸 #demonslayer #demonslayerfanart #kanao #animeart #artwip

My Maomao and Jinshi stickers completely sold out at Neko Con! Just put in an order for more to restock my shop 🐸🐱 #apothecarydiaries #maomao #jinshi #sticker #stickerart

Had a great weekend vending in Neko Con's artist alley for the first time. Neko Con was actually one of the first cons I ever attended many moons ago, so this was a personally meaningful con for me to be vending at. #nekocon #nekocon2025 #artistalley #animeart #illustration

Oh, wow! 🤯 You all seemed to really enjoy this new sewing print. I will be ordering more and listing them in my Etsy after Neko Con. #artprint #illustration #sewing #rococo

All set up at Neko Con artist alley at table 66! #nekocon #artistalley #animeart #illustration #artprints

Jellyfish mermaid! Jellyfish are like nature's chiffon, so I had a lot of fun with the translucency and frills on the jellies 🪼 #jellyfish #mermaid #originalcharacter #characterart #illustration

Finishing up my Shinobu piece now that my original artwork table prep for NekoCon is done. I'll be there next weekend in artist alley at table 66! #shinobu #demonslayer #artwip #animeart #nekocon

Stargazer lily fairy! I really love these flowers for their name and beautiful bright pink color. I want to continue working on original work more, even after I finish fall table prep. Any other types of mermaids or fairies you would like to see me draw? ✨ #fairy #fairyart #lilyflower #fantasyart

Fuck me this is bleak. But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle this week! Who else is looking forward to seeing the movie? Have a throwback to my Mitsuri design. 💖💚 #mitsuri #demonslayer #animeart #fanart #illustration

Drawing a design artwork for best girl Shinobu! 🦋 I’m swimming in a bunch of art tasks right now, but wondering if I should just commit and plan out a design for Kanae too 🤔 #demonslayer #infinitycastle #shinobu #kanae #artwip #characterart #animeart

Jinshi and Maomao gold foil prints are now available over on my Etsy! 🐱🐸 #apothecarydiaries #jinshi #maomao #anime #artprints dessidesudesign.etsy.com

Jinshi and Maomao gold foil prints are finally fixed and are here!! Going to take photos and list them today. So happy with how these turned out 😭 #apothecarydiaries #animeart #fanart #artprints #illustrator

Yuna gold foil prints are now back up in my shop! I still really love this one and glad others have been able to enjoy her over the years too. She’s still probably my most popular print. #yuna #finalfantasy #artprints #characterart dessidesudesign.etsy.com

Working on drawing some jellies 🪼 #jellyfish #artwip #illustration

Who else is enjoying new Panty and Stocking? The newest episode has probably been my favorite so far. I think we are due for a Stocking focused episode though 🩵🍭 #pantyandstocking #stocking #animeart #fanart #characterart #illustration

Drawing some butterflies and creepy crawlies for a new character art 🦋 This character is pretty significant for me personally, so I’m making the time between all the original stuff to draw her 💜 #butterflies #artwip #illustration

Spider lily fairy! I’ve been working on a bunch of new original fantasy pieces and landed on doing a few lily flower themed fairies. #fairy #fantasyart #spiderlily #originalcharacter #illustration

Working on original artwork has been freeing and I can see it improving my work in general. I am starting a new character art in between all the original stuff I have planned and the compositional improvement has me so excited.

Stargazer lily fairy art progress! #fairy #fantasyart #illustration #originalcharacter #artwip

Working on another original flower fairy illustration. The theme for this one will be stargazer lilies ⭐️✨ #artwip #illustration #flowers

Maomao and Jinshi matte mirror stickers are now up over in my shop! 🐱🐸 #apothecarydiaries #maomao #jinshi #animeart #stickers dessidesudesign.etsy.com

I’m disappointed I can’t list my Maomao and Jinshi prints yet because there ended up being some issues with them. Thankful the printer I work with is understanding with good service to get them fixed for me. Gold foil prints are coming after they are fixed 🥹 #apothecarydiaries #artprints #animeart

Ordering stickers as an artist with sticker placement anxiety feels so ironic 😂

Working on prepping new Apothecary Diaries stickers! #anime #fanart #apothecarydiaries #maomao #jinshi #stickers

A winter mermaid for the summer heat ❄️ This is actually an unfinished piece I found on my iPad from 3 years ago that remain unfinished from life happening, so I decided to finally finish it up. #mermaid #fantasyart #originalcharacter #illustration

Been having a lot of fun on this spider lily fairy piece. Prioritizing original work for future artist alley tables, so I’m planning several new fairy and mermaid pieces. #fairy #originalcharacter #fantasyart #illustration #artwip

Drawing spider lilies for an original piece. I can hear the season 1 Inuyasha closing theme while drawing this. #artwip #artprocess #illustration

Happy 25th anniversary Final Fantasy IX! 💖 Have a throwback to my Princess Garnet redesign. I drew inspiration from the summoner village with the eidolon wall inspired details on her skirt and horn headpiece ✨ #finalfantasy #finalfantasyix #finalfantasy9 #ff9 #princessgarnet

Final Maomao and Jinshi art! Morning glories seemed thematically fitting with their poisonous nature and the themes of rebirth in the show. Jinshi also features plenty of moon details. Really excited for the prints for this piece 💜💙 #maomao #jinshi #apothecarydiaries #illustration #art #fanart

Seven year difference between these two pieces. The first is from 2017 and second is 2024. Really feeling creatively burnt out right now. I miss enjoying uploading stuff like I did in 2017, even though my work was much weaker then. The internet was actually fun then. #artjourney #artimprovement

Art versus Artist ✨ #ArtvsArtist

Drop something yellow! 💛 Best bird, chocobo! Kweh 🐥

Working on drawing the finalized artwork for Jinshi! #apothecarydiaries #jinshi #animeart #fanart #artwip

I have two sides of art 🪽🦇 Show me yours! ✨

Looking forward to getting more foil art prints made soon, including my new Apothecary Diaries artwork! Love how the gold turned out with my absinthe fairy. You can find this print and other prints of my art over on my Etsy 💚✨ #fairy #fantasy #artprint #chatacterart www.etsy.com/shop/DessiDe...

Lady Amalthea rough design sketches! I need to actually create a finished art for her at some point 🦄 #thelastunicorn #amalthea #unicorn #fantasy #characterart #illustration

I’ve got Magic Knight Rayearth on the brain today. Clamp’s 90’s artwork style was really influential for me when I was younger. I’m excited for the reboot, so that the new generation can also discover and enjoy the series ❤️💙💚 #magicknightrayearth #anime #magicalgirl #illustration #art

WIP of my winter mermaid and Maomao back view are now up over on my Ko-fi! #maomao #mermaid #illustration #characterart ko-fi.com/dessi_desu

I was surprised how much interest there still was in Genshin at Anime Boston. While I have no plans to ever draw more characters for this series (there are just too many and there are other subjects I rather focus on 😅), I do still look back on Ganyu with fondness, especially. #genshinimpact #ganyu

Mermay might be over, but I’m still going to draw some mermaids! #mermaid #fantasyart #illustration #artwip #originalcharacter
