The Mer, The Myth, The Illustrator

Hello, human. I'm just another artist wandering the Earth leaving pretty little pieces of my mind on a page. If you like what you see, well... there's more to come. I hope you'll stay and see~

Catch me in a couple weeks at Tacoma's Arts at the Armory. I'll have a ton of prints, limited quantities of my acrylic pronoun pins, some acrylic keychains, and some acrylic standees. It will be my last pop up market of the year!

I hope you like my tiger.

Originally I had planned for this to have a really plain background with sparkles around, but then I felt like with the action lines, I needed a more interesting background and ended up adding Gwi-Ma flames instead.

Smokura Con Surviber (Sakura Con Survivor)

I was at SakuraCon all 3 days this year as an attendee for the first time since before COVID! And somehow life decided to be extra stinky this year with long badge pick up lines and a FIRE in the Cheesecake Factory! Plus my car broke down Friday and I had to pay a pretty penny to get it up and running after the weekend.

Anyways life moves on and I’ve grown a little more as a person through all this.

Although I’m opting not to pre purchase memberships this year and am just gonna hope I get into the artist alley lotto next year.

Hi tumblrs!

If anyone could help spread the word that would be appreciated! A local performing artist Wax the Producer is hosting a new event they call WaxCon! I will be a vendor there and we’d love to see some locals show up! There will be musical performances from local R&B artists, a smash tournament, and a cosplay contest!

I started this sketch last year I think? And never ended up finishing…. I’m hoping to pick it back up soon. I just have a lot going on rn

Bakunawa

Filipino Moon-Eating Dragon

This is my interpretation of a Bakunawa from Filipino folklore. It is a giant serpent-like dragon that eats moons. According to legend it has eaten 6 moons so far.

Finished my chibi sarimanok drawing. I love it so much! The sarimanok is a bird from filipino folklore (more specifically the maranao people). It is usually depicted as a large chicken with colorful feathers and a fish hanging from its beak. The sarimanok is a symbol of good fortune
