L'isle d'Art

An island of art

I'm planning on putting together a shop in the upcoming year, selling stickers and prints mostly. If you like what I do and want to be the first to know when it goes live, you can join my mailing list.

We art, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

Developmental sketches for a new project. Also moved over to a new sketchbook (this one's hand bound!) and figured I should mark the occasion.

It just so happened that Lunar New Year, Mardi Gras, and my birthday all fell on the same day! Let's celebrate with the Noceda siblings!

(Want this as a print? Join my email list to find out when you can!)

A quick comic practice sketch with Birds Fly in Different Directions (by @litfeathers), chapter 42. I might have shortened some of the dialogue a bit... but I wanted this exchange to fit into 4 panels!

Gonna try to catch up on this rad fic while I'm frozen in this weekend. Maybe do some more fanart?

Tokiha Mai from Mai-HiME

Watched Mai-HiME recently and really enjoyed it! Gave me similar vibes to Symphogear, which is good. Though, considering all the technical issues, Crunchyroll absolutely did not want me to finish it.

(I'll probably put this up for sale as a sticker once my shop is open; if you want to know when it becomes available, you should join my email list)

Abstaining From Existence

What if you were to follow the advice of every art tutorial video you come across? What if you only followed the eye-catching and inflammatory commands and suggestions shown in the thumbnails?

There are no shapes because shapes are bad.

There was no sketch because sketching makes you reliant on sketches.

I did not practice before making this piece because practice actually hurts your skills, don't you know?

I did not use any digital brushes because only traditional art is real.

I did not use a traditional medium because everyone knows that would fade with time and disappear.

There is no background color because colors could influence the creative process, and we don't want that, now do we?

When all of this advice is followed, what am I left with? A transparent image—a perfect square of empty pixels.

Got some alcohol markers for Xmas, so I tried coloring in an old inked sketch. It's an interesting flow, but I quite like it.

[lyledraws]

Apparently I never exported this Casual Mavuika sticker design? I mean, I know why: I never shaded it.

I dunno. Might go back and finish it up, might just leave it as is.

New character for a new story

A fiery warrior who discarded virtue to save her friends

Veemon for Victory!

I happened to sketch a bunch of Veemon for a Digimon/Owl House crossover idea, so I tried making a straightforward sticker/emoji design.

[lyledraws]

Tieria dressed as Virtue.

Originally planned to be a charm design along with the other 00 mains. I only just realized I never posted it!

[lyledraws]

Think Fast!

I've been wanting to get into sticker design, so I've been experimenting with some designs. This is by far the most complicated one I've done.

10/3/25 vee zine magma dump

The Castoff trio from memory, Shedinja (kinda sorta haunted), and I put Kamina into Hollow Knight (I don't play Hollow Knight)

[lyledraws]

Hey, y'all! I wish I had a neato graphic for this, but I would really appreciate it if you could help me out in becoming financially independent.

To that end, I'm working on some stickers, charms, and prints to sell online (and eventually in person), but in the meantime you can help out by commissioning me!

DM me for a quote

I love flipping between the flat and rendered versions of a piece. You can really feel it come to life.

My half of an OC art trade with @lunar-jewels, featuring her OC Mara! She's a octopus-like shapeshifter hanging out on the California coast after a run-in with a fishing net.

This was a lot of fun and hopefully I can do more art trades in the future.
