✨🌘 Hi. Welcome. :) 🌘✨

˚₊‧꒰ა . ——— ˗ˏˋ ✮ ˎˊ˗ ——— ˖ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

I'm Ari, I draw sometimes and if I'm not drawing I'm either writing, having an existential crisis or playing whatever game I happen to pick from my library. I study software engineering whenever my teachers decide to finally schedule a lecture, I also crochet and dabble in tarot in my free time.

Ah, I'm also the co-creator of 🍄Spores & Petals🌺 (🌘✨) which is probably how you found me! I'm on "finish up the pages" duty and angst master. Everything I make for S&P will be on its own blog, over here you'll just see art I do for myself and/or my friends. If you decide to stick around, cool!! (I appreciate it a lot wtf thank u i cry on the floor)

Twitchcon nerfed my gamer HARD when they shoved him next to a literal speaker, but he did SO well all things considered. Couldn't be more proud and the vibes of the team were SPECTACULAR, never seen a team be so supportive of each other.

I know everyone and their mothers are saying it, but they better add the damn ramp next year oh my god- Let the man get on stage, he deserves it!!!

If you thought the Grian one was the only one I'll do, you're wrong.

The whole team deserves love 🩷🦜

I've never finished a drawing faster- Good job to the WHOLE team, that was amazing to watch!!! I'm so proud!!!

I was watching from home, but I never felt more regret not getting twitchcon tickets to witness this in person, maybe one day I will TwT

🌔✨️ Sketch -> 🍂🐾 Render (Collab!!!)

Part 2 of our wonderful collab we did bc the trenches of working on the comic got DIFFICULT.

I swear we're working on it, it's just going surprisingly slow. It's totally my fault, i got horribly stuck on the backgrounds and am currently experiencing a crisis of my background art 🙃

Even with that, though, we try our hardest to work on the comic, even at a slower pace. 💪

And with that, you can enjoy Ari's sketch here:

🍂🐾 Sketch -> 🌘✨ Render (Collab!!!)

While we're stuck in "finish the damn pages" loop (it's been rough on both sides lately, forgive us we are still working on part 4!!!), we thought it would be silly to do a lil collab and feed the blog demons a bit.

I (Ari, hello) yoinked Rai's sketch and added my own flare to it, which was sorta uncanny in a way (imagine working on something you didn't draw hello??), but it ended up way better than I expected (on both sides!!!) (we'll post my sketch with their render later!!! gotta milk it somehow)

Rai's wonderful sketch <3:

I posted this on Bsky ages ago and I was reminded a few days ago that I never shoved it here.

So now I shoved it here.

Back when Wild Life came out I made it my mission to watch all povs and surprisingly almost managed it!!! I fell off at the very end, but I did catch this bit, fell in love and had to recreate it (especially as a fellow D&D nerd). I still have Ren's singing stuck in my head <3

Ari try not to lose their mind challenge

˚₊‧꒰ა . ——— ˗ˏˋ ✮ ˎˊ˗ ——— ˖ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

I've been like "don't worry about it, you have plenty of time" for the past 2 weeks since I started this 1 (one, singular) drawing. Now I got like 2 days left, 2 more characters to add, color the whole thing, shade the whole thing-

This on top of college work AND the comic (go read it) was not my wisest idea.

BUT

Looking at the one I drew one year ago and

It just makes it so worth it.

Brikan again

˚₊‧꒰ა . ——— ˗ˏˋ ✮ ˎˊ˗ ——— ˖ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

Their campaign is starting today and the ref sheet thingy I gave to the other players is like very old now and I really didn't want them looking at it again

So I drew Bri again so the others have something decent to look at when they think of them.
