I originally made this music box for my Sunflower Knight, but it works for Solaire too. Music box plays "You Are My Sunshine".

🔊🐦🌧

Sun shower on a June afternoon. The rain only lasted about 10 minutes or so, but during that time, the birds were still singing and the bumblebees still working

I could sit out here for hours 🍂

Continuing writing with the flex nib fountain pen filled with Iroshizuku Yama-Budo ink. At this point, I've diluted the ink three times (every time it's out, I just fill the convertor with water) and as it gets lighter, the shading becomes more prominent.

This time I was writing the subheads from a book about knights.

Finally got around to finishing up four new Hawthorn the Adventurer colorways 🎨. The painted patterns on their coats are little hawthorn leaves and berries 🍂🫐. The other two are a pearly/sparkly vinyl.

Love this Ink Institute Electric Blue Spider Lily with all the blue/purple variations

Reminded me of hydrangeas 💐

[darthasterisk]

Practicing different types of spacing/angles and this upright/tight one reminded me of those retro 1950s ads 😆

Ink was a mix of a bunch of different teals. I don't remember which ones, but wish I had this exact color

Hawthorn offers a cup of tea (or soup?) to the Berry Adventurers' predecessor, Grogu 😆

Hawthorn's design originally started off as a Grogu sculpt in 2022 that gradually morphed into what it is today, branching off into a couple more characters. A few things stayed with each new iteration, like the hood, gourd, and scarf.

Upcoming drop will include vinyls of the updated OG colorway and Arctic Hare colorway along with the pearl black and green/gold.

The sitting versions are part of the upcoming Dreamer Archetype Companions joining the Lumecluster Wonderlands Collection (https://lumecluster.com/collections/wonderlands-collection)

Happy Star Wars Day!

As a big Star Wars fan, I relate so much to this meme 🤣

Ink is Endless Alchemy Wizard's Pencil

Strangely tasty looking ink 😆

I usually wait for ink to dry before taking a photo, but this just looked so satisfyingly juicy 😆

Ink is Ferris Wheel Press Bumbling Blossom

Here's Mulberry, the third Dreamer Archetype Companion joining the Lumecluster Wonderlands Collection.

I've had Mulberry as a Berry Adventurer since 2023 as digital images and printed prototypes but never got to painting an actual version. This one's got more of a marshmallow-y looking face than the yellow bear version 😆

Berry Adventurers are getting a new look 😺🐰 Here's Juniper looking smug while Hawthorn holds up an umbrella to cover them from the rain 🌧

They're part of the upcoming Dreamer Archetype Companions and will join the Lumecluster Wonderlands Collection. The Hawthorn Curio and Prunus Curio Pendants (on the left) are currently available at Lumecluster

Finally picked up this Ferris Wheel Press LotR ink I've been eyeing for awhile.

I've been using chapter titles/subheads to practice writing, so here's one from Fellowship 🍄

There's a small section of my toy photography book devoted to a game I've never played-Touken Ranbu Online.

I was just getting into collecting nendoroids from various anime, but saw the Mikazuki and Tsurumaru figures and fell in love with their designs.

The colors of each nendoroid made them ideal to photograph outdoors among spring and summer flowers 🌸
