🌊✨ WIP Update — Samudra & Celeste ✨🌊

Slowly sharing a new step of this illustration. Samudra and Celeste are finally side by side, and I’ve started working on the colors — figuring out the mood, the balance between them, and the atmosphere I want to convey.

This piece is still very much a work in progress, but I’m enjoying taking my time with it, letting it grow naturally instead of rushing toward a finish. Exploring color always feels a bit chaotic, but it’s also where the illustration really starts to breathe 🎨

More updates to come as I keep building this scene 🌊💙

Hello 👋I went through your write-up, and I really love it. How long have you been a writer?

Thank you!! 💙 I’m not a pro, but I’ve been writing for years, mostly on and off. It’s something I’ve always loved, even when I take breaks.

🌊✨ WIP Sketch — Samudra & Celeste ✨🌬️

A quiet moment beneath the currents of a restless world. Samudra and Celeste, lying side by side, their forms relaxed, breaths almost in sync — a fleeting pause in the tides of their lives.

This is still just a sketch, but even in rough lines and soft shadows, I wanted to capture the serenity that can exist between two souls who have wandered through storms. A merman and a harpy, from two very different worlds, finding a rare kind of stillness together — a place where neither pride nor pain demands attention, and only the gentle presence of the other matters.

I love the way art lets me hold these moments — fragile, fleeting, yet quietly monumental. Moments where the world can be soft, even when the shadows linger just beyond the edges.

What do you imagine they are thinking here? What whispers do the tides carry to them? 💭💙

🌊✨ Chapter 12 of The Last Song of the Sea is now out ✨🌊

Chapter 12 is officially live, and the journey continues. This part of the story leans into quiet tension, emotions beneath the surface, and moments that linger longer than expected 🖤

The Last Song of the Sea is an original fantasy story about bonds, loss, and the echoes we leave behind — carried by the sea, by memory, and by the choices we make.

If you’ve been reading along, thank you endlessly for being here 💙 And if you’re new, you’re always welcome to dive in — there’s a whole world waiting beyond the tide 👀

🎉✨ Chapters 8 & 9 of The Last Song of the Sea Are Here! ✨🎉

After taking a short break, I’m so excited to be back and to share the next chapters of my story with you 🌊🖤 Chapters 8 and 9 continue the journey of Samudra, and the world he inhabit — full of emotions, quiet moments, and a touch of angst that I hope will linger with you long after reading.

This story is very close to my heart, and getting to write it, explore its characters, and bring their world to life is a joy I can hardly put into words. These new chapters include some of the moments I’ve been most looking forward to writing, and I can’t wait for readers to experience them.

If you’ve been following the story, thank you from the bottom of my heart — your support and encouragement truly mean the world 💙 If you’re discovering it for the first time, you’re more than welcome to dive in — there’s still plenty of story to explore, emotions to feel, and perhaps a few surprises along the way 👀✨

🎄🌊 Ko-fi Christmas Special — Episode 3 🌊🎄

This week’s holiday episode of The Last Song of the Sea explores something quieter… and more fragile.

Samudra has always lived in the shadow of his older brother, Toru — the perfect son, distant, untouchable.

They rarely speak. They’ve never been close.

So when Toru suddenly seeks him out, offering a gift under the most trivial excuse… Samudra doesn’t know what to think.

Jealousy, pride, longing, and unspoken affection collide in this soft but emotional Christmas moment between two brothers who don’t know how to reach each other yet.

✨ A gentle, bittersweet chapter about rivalry, misunderstandings, and the small gestures that matter more than words.

📖 Episode 3 is available now on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/helysiums

🎁 Christmas specials release weekly throughout December

Thank you for following this story and these characters — your support truly means the world to me 💛

December theme submission (from Discord)

For this month’s theme, I chose to celebrate something quieter than traditions or decorations. This piece is a reflection on creation, doubt, and persistence — written as a small winter story, told from my own point of view. This year asked me to slow down, to sit with uncertainty, and to learn how to be gentler with myself as a creator. Instead of celebrating perfection or big milestones, I wanted to honor the simple fact of still being here, still creating, and still believing — even on the days when it felt difficult.

🌊✨ New Chapter Update — The Last Song of the Sea ✨🌊

The journey continues beneath the waves…

I’ve just released a new chapter of The Last Song of the Sea 🐚

📖 You can read it now on Wattpad

☕ And find exclusive content, extra scenes, and illustrations on Ko-fi

This story follows Samudra, a young sea prince, as he navigates identity, emotions, and the fragile line between the ocean and the surface world.

Soft fantasy, tender moments, but also shadows — this tale isn’t always gentle, and that contrast matters to me.

Thank you so much to everyone reading, supporting, sharing, or simply cheering quietly from afar. It truly means the world 🌊💙

🐾✨ Sir Pounce-a-Lot… with Justice’s blue eye ✨🐾

A new illustration is here!

Hi everyone!

I’m so excited to share my newest fanart inspired by Dragon Age: a soft, chibi-style Sir Pounce-a-Lot, proudly sporting a bright Justice blue eye.

This little piece was such a joy to draw — mixing sweetness, nostalgia, and that tiny bit of dramatic flair that Justice always brings. I wanted him to feel both adorable and slightly mysterious, as if he’s about to leap into a grand adventure (or simply demand more attention, as cats do).

If you love gentle fantasy vibes, soft lighting, and chibi animals inspired by your favorite characters, I hope this brings a smile to your face. 🩵

✨ More DA fanart is coming soon, featuring even more cute animal-style characters!

✨ And if you enjoy my work, sharing or following my Ko‑fi truly helps a small artist like me keep growing. Thank you for being here. 💛
