(my dumbass posted this on the wrong account but screw it lol)

Happy 2026, my peeps! As you saw with the “Date Completed” part, you can probably tell this isn’t my 1st art piece for 2026. Still, I wanted to post this for a while.

I stole the aesthetics from an artist I don’t like, which is something I love to do XD

I haven’t drawn my old OCs in a while

So she’s probably new to all of you, but this is my OC Melodie. I made her sometime between 2015 & 2016 for an art class. I basically copied an outfit from an anime drawing book I had and gave her “Mary Sue” coded hair.

I had some ideas with her stories over the years, like giving her a love interest (typical, I know lmao). But aside from drawing her on occasion, and a scrapped 2023 fanime collab, there wasn’t much I did with Melodie.

But I decided to bring her back for this fun little art challenge I gave myself. Besides stealing the aesthetic, I also wanted to give my girl an outfit change that fit her better and wasn’t just a clone from my anime drawing book. XD

Hopefully you peeps like her as well! I might draw her more in the future, but no guarantees lol. Be sure to stay tuned regardless! ^v^

thinking fondly of this meme I made for a coworker years and years ago

[burins]

this is going around again and the tags are full of people talking about printing it out to put in their breakroom or cubicle or sending it to their coworkers, which fills me with great joy. vast diversity of professions represented also. zoos. labs. summer camps. restaurants. garden centers. libraries. schools. many reports from the brave warriors of assorted retail. a truth universally acknowledged: if there is a sign a customer will not read it <3 and they don't read emails either <3

I'm sorry but JK Rowling has openly stated she uses the money she makes from HP to actively and purposely hurt trans people. She has stated she assumes anyone who gives her money agrees with her position.

You cannot be a trans ally whilst enjoying the HP franchise anymore. There's no such thing as "separate the art from the artist" when artist is still alive and using their money to hurt people. It's really that simple.

How to draw underwater settings: make everything floaty and weightless. Done! ✅ Unless you're a geek like me and want to learn all about how to paint the lighting: the highlights of the ripples, the bluish glow, the reflections.. there's a lot to think about but it's so satisfying once you get it right!

I painted these for last month's Patreon challenge on underwater lighting! If you like drawing challenges, join us: we’re studying wrinkles and folds this month. It's time to walk away from those face-smoothing filters and draw some textured skin!

I'm sorry... I can't help myself! Here's another piece of fanart! Chiyoko's smiling this time! :D And it's probably because... I shaded this piece?! Yes!!! It's not the best ever (as is with the piece overall), but it's decent in my eyes considering it's something I don't know much of! (It's especially better than going "ok let's just have a vignette/spotlight on her face and call it a day" like I did last time).

This was based on a piece of a character that, design-wise, reminded me of Chiyoko; the swimsuit here is based off of the one in that piece, as well as the magical girl outfit that briefly appears in Episode 2. I really tried to get the colors accurate as well, going off of the episodes and artwork I had saved!

I really wanna keep drawing Chiyoko more, and maybe the rest of the YinYang cast later down the line just for fun, especially since that spark was reignited for me earlier this month... We'll see, though~!

(EDIT 5/20/26 6:45 PM EST: I noticed a FATAL error and had to fix it. Also throwing in a textless alt for the hell of it. Enjoy~!)

I ended up finding the inspiration to draw another thing. I know, I know, you must be sick of me already - plaguing this tag with my lengthy posts and subpar fanart and all. This post is no better, so I apologize for the inconvenience.

So, I randomly remembered the scene in Episode 2 where Kuro finds a manga copy of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (likely Vol. 1 from the looks of it) in a closet...

...and I thought about how Chiyoko pointed out the possibility of Kuro developing some sort of addiction from reading too much... and one idea came to mind that kept appearing in my head.

And I knew exactly what I had to do.

So I fired up my art program and got to it. After a long night, an early morning, and a cycle of blood, sweat, tears, and finishing touches that repeated more times than there once were videos on the animestrawberrykitty YouTube channel all those years ago, I can now proudly present the final product:

THIS.

THIS is my masterpiece - my magnum opus - and possibly the greatest thing ever made in terms of YinYang fanart. Out of all the artworks I've submitted under this tag so far, I genuinely hope that this is the one that gets featured and seen. It shocks me that no one has ever considered anything like this, because this is probably the most accurate to Kuro's character in my opinion~!

Ok, in all honestly, though, I don't think this turned out well, but I'm honestly fine with that. I really hope my poor shading job doesn't take away from the rest of the drawing, but if it does then there's always next time! I mean, while this account's creation was more or less because of YinYang (you can tell that I'm looking forward to that fandub, right?), I also see drawing these artworks as an excuse to challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone in more ways than one, and again, I'm hopefully gonna continue that for as long as I can.

Oh, and... I must confess: I have never seen a single frame of Haruhi Suzumiya. I've seen some artworks, and I recognize Haruhi herself, but apart from watching one video about a certain arc, I've never actually seen anything else from the anime. I saw the famous dance for the first time last night - yes, in the Year of Our Lord, 2026 - and it brought me so much joy, as if I was taken back to the day 20 years ago when the whole world was first exposed to it. I think I might go ahead watch the series later this summer. Maybe...

Oh no, not another one!

I was a bit burnt out when making this, and had no clue about the direction to have it go in, but I wanted to follow through with it anyway and put it out there since I like it well enough to do so.

The original plan was for the drawing to take place in a sunflower field (*cough cough* CLANNAD refrence *cough cough*) but I didn't have the patience to draw one, and I also wanted to try my hand at more intricate shading but didn't have the patience for that either, so instead the setting is that blue and pink backdrop from the ED and the shading is eh.

Anyway, I'll probably post some writings about YinYang soon. I've got a few drafts sitting on the back burner, hopefully I'll finish one and muster up the courage to get it out there sooner than later...

[starlessdreaming]

I saw the announcement. It was completely by chance, but the moment I laid eyes on the YouTube link while googling "yinyang fanime", my heart skipped a beat. To say I'm excited would be an understatement; it genuinely makes me beyond happy that YinYang is finally getting something new after this long, and I will for sure be eating this fandub up when it drops in July!

Though, I have to say, judging from the preview: while Chiyoko's voice is almost as soothing as it was in the original, there's something about Mr. Sato's voice that bugs me. Perhaps it's because the voice a bit too... human. Whatever the case, I'm really wondering about how Hikaru, Kuro, and the rest of the cast will sound, too....

Oh yeah, and I made this. I was sorta going for a 2000s anime wallpaper vibe with it. It's nowhere near perfect, but I hope you like it!
