Hey everyone! I am just posting a quick update to let you all know that I have caught the dreaded lurgie! 🤦‍♀️ I'm currently not -too- bad (fingers crossed it doesn't get any worse than this), but I am definitely not 100%. I am still doing commissions/working on them, as well as Inktober, but I am working quite a bit slower- due to feeling a bit poorly (headaches, shivers/sweats and aching doesn't go too well with drawing). Uploading may be a bit slow also, whilst I am trying to recover. Hopefully this will pass fast and I'll be back to my normal self to work on things faster and get all the things I have done uploaded to this page! I'm super sorry about any inconvenience caused for those of you expecting commissions, but I just want to make sure I give you the best I can do- rather than being distracted by how I am feeling.  On a side note- my replies to any questions may also be a bit slower.

Ok, I am a total derp - I’ve been meaning to upload this for literally ages. Commissions are open again! I’ve cleared my current queue and I  am open once more. :) I’ve included some T’s & C’s, as well as what I am both comfortable with and not so comfortable with (please note- if I am not comfortable with something, it doesn’t mean I won’t do it. It just means that I don’t have much experience with doing it and it and it may not be as ‘good’ as something I am more comfortable with). Prices are done with current exchange rates- from GBP to USD. I can do rush orders and work well within deadlines if needed. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to message me! :)

Inktober Day 2 - word prompt 'Tranquil', featuring my original character Shaab- the golden Shiba Inu! <3 I had a lot of fun doing this. Whenever I picture tranquil, warm summer days come to mind. Full of wildlife and colour. Some of my happiest and most relaxed times are during the summer months, hopefully I got this across with Shaab.

Inktober Day 1 - word prompt ‘poisonous’, featuring my original character ‘Shen Wu’ the Yutyrannus! <3

Ok, so, I don’t normally do this/draw this kind of thing (and I don’t normally upload a WIP), but I started watching My Hero Academia this weekend (despite being completely exhausted and not feeling too well). Initially, I’ll admit, I wasn’t keen, but as the episodes have gone on, I’ve actually really started to like it! :D <3 I love All Might for sure! So here is a rough sketch/silly little doodle that I managed to do. I might finish it/add some colour at some point.

A couple badge commission by someone on FB. :) This was super fun to do. Its designed to be worn by each character owner, but then be pieced together to make one whole image. I also added a shimmer effect that only shows up in the light. <3

A badge for someone on FB! :) Pre-lamination, as it can sometimes be a bit tricky to capture the colours after the lamination process- due to the sheen!

This painting was done for someone who is going through some terrible health problems. The original will be surprise gifted to them. I chose a Robin as they symbolise a loved one being near and watching over you. Although this usually refers to someone passed, I chose the symbolism to show that we are all here for her- to support her through this. Once I get a cleaner scan and my Etsy shop up and running, prints will be available of this. A percentage of the cost will be going towards a charity that helps both older patients and family members who are struggling through illness and bad times, offering support and amazing care ( Marie Curie ).

An Owl for today! I couldn’t sleep last night, so I started doodling Owls. Here is the first one. <3 I am thinking about making prints of them donating some of the cost to an owl/bird of prey charity. <3

Completed Manokit couple bust-shot commission for someone on FB! :) I loved doing these guys, they were super fun to colour and so cute!

Hi everyone! I'm looking for feedback/opinions on a project I have been working on for a little while. I want to make sticker packs of certain Dog breeds, where I can donate some of the proceeds to animal charities.

I've been playing around with designs, the packs will contain roughly three stickers each and I've got some breeds already doodled up.

Now, when it comes to digital I am a bit out of practise (and thats putting it lightly!)- would something in this style work for stickers/be something you are interested in? If not, why so? :)

Any critique/feedback would be very much appreciated! I'm in two minds about the shading style and would love to hear what you guys think. :D

Sorry for the lack of posts, I have been away and things were a bit chaotic when I returned. Luckily, I managed to find time to work on art in-between! Here are three Ko-Fi donation ‘thank you’ chibis for the lovely Rees!
