A mutual friend of mine was helping me through a difficult time and as a sort of thank you gift, I made him my usual birthday cards and an origami. He’s a Taurus, likes BBQs, is Korean and is a bit more on the manly side, so I tried to keep the design not as feminine as my usual kind. And I know he likes to keep things simple, so I tried to keep it simple, but still fill up the negative spaces.

I made one of my usual kusudama and since he said his favorite color (or at least a color he preferred) was white, so since I didn’t want to make a full on white kusudame, I added in some gray to it to give it a bit of pop? More color? LOL The tassel, I didn’t use my usual crochet threads, instead, I used embroidery floss that was to mimic how soft and flowy tassels are usually made of. I added in the beads and the stars, as per my usual way.

Mermay #2 - Plumeria

I’ll try and redo do my W.I.T.C.H. mermaids for next Mermay. In the meantime, I did one of my CS Mermaids, my Maeriposa, Plumeria.

“The Maeriposa is an endangered clan of mermaids who have the ability to weave soulmate bonds, similar to the red string of fate of Asian legends. It was because of this unique ability that they were hunted to near extinction. Luckily, the Maeriposa were able to find sanctuary within the Realm of Seraphyx and they now aid the Seraphym with finding soulmate pairs”

- The Realm of Seraphyx is a world created by @Silverangel907 on DA that houses her CS and her primary species are the Seraphym; basically specialized Angels.

Plumeria has the special traits of double winged fins and long butterfly-lace fins, both rare traits, so she’s a RARE mermaid (😂). Plumeria takes her bonds seriously, believing that bonds are something that shouldn’t be taken lightly seeing as how they can be eternal; that being said, all other times, she is almost an air-head and floaty.

I actually work faster traditionally and it feels more fun. I DO however, want to get more into digital cuz it’s is indeed easier to be indecisive about things without restarting everything (😂😭)

Mermay #1 - Cornelia Hale

I am redoing as many of my mermaids for Mermay 2025. Starting off are my W.I.T.C.H. mermaids that I did in 2019. I started off with Hay Lin, but her skirt was giving me problems so I decided to work on Cornelia instead. I copied the skirt style I did in my traditional piece because I liked the way I flowed the skirt out.

Despite having a tablet for almost 6 years, I did almost all my drawings on bases or did them traditionally before digitally sketching the poses. I never freestyled a digital drawing before and I wanted this month to be my first few attempts.

February #2 - Zarina, my Pollibud.

Next up is my little hydrangea flower faerie. I originally had a different pose for her, but I utterly screwed up on her coloring so I decided to start over. The pose I used is from Clareesi on DA. For the hydrangeas, I tried my best to depict them in her hair, but I overestimated the black pen I used, so I attempted to fill it in with some sparkly red gel pen. I also realized as I was drawing her that I never got a clear file for the wings, so I more of less “winged” it. Since I don’t follow the CS’s lore that closely, her powers produce themselves via a sort of smoky tendrils with gold flecks sprinkled here and there. I didn’t add the designs on the darker parts of her outfit because I didn’t realize the designs were so small and the gel pen I wanted to use, it was at least a size 1 mm, which would have been too big for the small area.

I am proud of her eyes and the smoky tendrils that I put around her.

Since we’re in Faebruary, I’m going to draw my charas with wings and she’s the first to go. I’ll try and draw the others with wings, but it’ll take a while so I’ve started them back in January.

Meet Jessemin, my TeaBlossom of the Teamerean species from the Aermerea species. I completed her almost half a year ago but I don’t think I ever posted her here on IG. She’s a tea species and her scent is a Honey Lemon Ginger tea where the lemon is the dominant taste and the ginger’s the after taste with the honey mixed in. She’s a sweet girl who, on the surface is quiet, helpful and homely, but underneath, she’s spicy and sassy like the ginger she represents; annoy her and she’ll start hurling sassy insults at you to make you laugh but they serve as a warning too.

Her design is based on an adopt I got from @kuroneko back on DA and I ‘repurposed’ her for the species.

Chinese New Year is literally around the corner and I wanted to draw something for it. I’ve never drawn anything for Chinese New Years, so I wanted this first time to be good and since I feel more confident in my artskills. XD Since it’s the year of the Snake, I wanted to draw a snake-related character but the only one I have is a Winx character. But I only have her Bloomix, so I decided against her and went through my other characters. I found a character whose powers are “spirit control”, so she was perfect for the drawing.

She’s a character I got from @puripurr on DA and she originally had a side ponytail, but I didn’t like it that much so I just took it out. She has smoky tails and I’ve never drawn smoke before so I used a lot of his other works to replicate that smoky-look; and because his characters are sort-of chibi formed, I made my own design for the front, specifically the neck and chest area. The hand positions were borrowed from @eljenrosette work because she has one of the best artwork styles that I admire. I used a gold glitter gel pen to do the gold parts of the outfit.

One of my previous artwork, I colored her first then outlined her and I like this process instead of lining first then coloring because the lines can get smudged sometimes when coloring. So I might consider doing this technique for a majority of my future works.

My first art for 2025! Well technically, I have another one coming up, but I’m saving that one for later into January.

So there was a Fysaera MYO Event and I obviously had to join it. I had a bust that I bought from 2018 and my brain had been thinking of moonlight, so I chose to do a Fysaera with a moonlight-infused potion. I wanted to make her outfit a bit more complicated, but when I looked at it again, it felt like it didn’t need anymore that what was already drawn, though the only thing fancy I REALLY wanted on her was the jewelry on her thigh. She had body markings, but I don’t think IG will allow that, so it’ll be on her TH page; she has 5 body markings on her. Glory has these F2U bases on her Ko-fi page and I HAD to use one for my girl here. Her traits will be posted on my DA acct.

I wanted to give my boys some love so I chose a random colored pencil, matched it with Adel and googled some semi-actiony poses. I found this AI pose and I remember watching a reel where the user was like "Draw your characters IN the AI pose”, it was sort of like flipping the bird at AI, I guess. Well as you can see from the AI pose, the hands are all wrong.

I also have a custom outfit from puripurr for Adel so I used that and I fixed the fingers. Tada!! One of my rare male poses!

There are 3 different lightings to show the different 'shades', sort of.

I knitted a scarf for my mom and crocheted the scalloped edges. At first she didn't like the width, so she asked for a scalloped edge; she wanted it....twice what's in the pictures and it didn't look good, so I shrunk them. Granted, I didn't know how to crochet so YT helped A LOT. I originally bought QUITE A FEW to make a sort of landscaped scarf, but it got too long so I left it this long; and by long, I mean it can wrap around your neck like 3x.

This is the sketch that had prompted the staff at the jewelry store in Macau to request the dragon sketch. I wanted to do her in an action pose, so I tried to do her in a running-ish pose. I had this pose imagined for her as I was sketching it, so I tried to make it as natural as possible (MAY have failed that though 😅)

Charmine is a #BBPP, a #blowballpompom, a species that have ‘fluffs’ in their ears and tail that are sensitive to the wind, but they have an aura to protect them to prevent them from flying. She’s a mix between a feline and an equine, so not only is she fast but agile as well; she also enjoys running in heels as much as she enjoys fashion and her nails.

FB Sketch Commissions are Open if interested.

My mom and I went to a jewelry store in Macau and she saw some pretty bracelets for my sister and I. After she basically haggled for a lower price (she does that), she didn’t have enough money, so she went to the bank and before she went, she had me stay there and ‘safeguard’ the bracelets while I also acted as, I guess collateral? (😂) Before she left, I ran back to our hotel room and grabbed my sketchbook and stayed there until she came back with the money. As I was drawing, several employees noticed and asked if I drew as a living/went to school for it, I said it’s only a hobby; one guy short-stopped next to me before grabbing one of their catalogs and asked me to draw their dragon. I did and it took me almost the entire wait time to work on the head before my mom came back with the money.

I finished the sketch, but I took pictures of with and without the scales for comparison. I forgot to stamp the without scales one cuz I was gonna stamp somewhere else. And the color’s blue because I was already working on a sketch in blue before the guy asked.

I wanted to draw my Winxies, but didn’t know who, so using a number generator, I got Midori and I decided to redraw a drawing of her from 2022 when I did an art challenge. The Ritual from the #fallowinx challenge by @annetsumi . I wanted a similar half-body pose so I googled some images.

I started off with a green-colored sketch and I originally wanted to do the ENTIRE lineart in a single color, but I decided to try and experiment with different ‘colored outlines’ and luckily it looks good!! Except for the hair, I think I should have done green instead of brown, but I forgot which color I used in the original 😅. I left the sketched lines in the BG b/c I decided it looked good that way and with my sparkly gel pens! Last two pictures are the green sketch and the original.

I FINALLY finished a Winxy for @gloryart_w #glorysMYOevent and I chose her transformation Virtix; Originally, I had a Winx chara in mind, but the sketch colors I used didn’t make sense for her, and since it was a cool palette, I decided to go for my Fairy of Winter, Chione.

I used @zeple base because if I had sketched this MYO out, my paper would have been ruined due to all the erasing I’d have done. Due to existing Virtix designs looking like they had more substance and because I was short on time (also because I knew I would have spammed the design with a million ideas), I decided to keep it as simple as possible, but still with “a lot”. I didn’t know a lot of flowers with winter lore attached to them, so I winged it a bit. When I get the chance and once it’s been approved, I’ll render it (most likely traditionally) and flesh out the flowers if I find any with lore to them. With her wings, I originally wanted to make them snowflake-like, but also curvy (I was looking at a lot of Glory’s other wings and they all looked so curvy and delicate that I wanted them like that too) so with the layered sketches I had done, this is the result! A sort of “stained glass” look, which was what I was trying to go for and as per the requisites. I colored the top part of the wings silver to try and mimic snow on top of branches. The shoes, you can’t see it from this angle, but on the other side, there’s a flower acting like a ‘clasp’ shoe.

This is a redraw of a Winx challenge I did 2 years ago of my Fairy of Water, Mazu. It was for the #fallowinx from @annetsumi and it was the first challenge. I don’t know if I’ll do redraws of the other 4 challenges, but we’ll see. I did some minor changes to her MW and the pose, b/c it was really bothering me.

I was initially sketching her in blue, but as I continued her, I realized, I didn’t really want the bother of inking her when I like how the sketch turned out. So I might make this a commission type, depending on the interest and how many I do (MAY do this for the rest of the redraws if I decide to). I also kind of like how it turned out, just colored within the lines and such.

From 2022.

My friend/coworker’s birthday was a month ago (I know, seriously late) and I had the card sketched out and everything, but I was stuck on the border designs FOR A WHILE.If you saw my story, you’ll know how much planning goes into a personal card.

He’s a Gemini and an actor. The designs were more on the filigree side because it struck me late to be Greek-inspired. For June, it’s the Strawberry Moon and flowers,I just used strawberry flowers and lilacs; the lilacs I am especially proud of because this was a technique I imagined, then attempted. After I finished it, there seemed to be a lot of white space, so I ‘doodled’ some extra designs.
