Why did you start creating art for Allegiant/The Divergent Series?

As part of my nerdy love for books, I usually channel them through fan arts. Reading this series was an instant ticket to being a life-long devoted fan, thus, the start of the art journey for Divergent.

What drew you to this fandom?

This fandom is emitting like a big ball of endless energy filled with diverse, creative, and witty people. I’m attracted to this positive energy.

What was your process for creating art for the Divergent Collector’s Edition like?

Making the art was a series of trial and error plus the need for an unlimited supply of creative brain juices and cups of coffee. But with the help of the Divergent creative team, this process was an enjoyable learning experience.

How does it feel to have your art included in the Allegiant Collector’s Edition?

I feel ecstatic and thankful for this opportunity again. It will always be a favorite chapter in my life as a fan.

How does the Divergent Series inspire you?

This series has continuously taught me that bravery comes in all shapes and sizes, that every one is capable of creating their own legacy despite all odds. It’s just a matter of choice and your determination to push through it.

I wish there was an undo button in real life. There would be less cursing and more working. 😅 Quotes by Tennessee Williams

Hi! Where are you from? :)

Hello anon! Why are so many people asking me this question? Are you guys planning to send me some goodies? :D If you must know, I’m from the Philippines. ;) You can also go to the FAQs section :). Just click here and here.

Hey I love your designs and I was wondering if you sell your designs as prints ?? :)

HI anon! And thank you! :D Unfortunately, I’m not selling my fanart designs as prints. I make them purely as my hobby and as a channel for my inner fangirl. But I usually allow people printing them for personal purposes (such as bookmarks, etc.) and not selling them. Don’t forget to be awesome anon! ;)

How do you make the quotes with the design? They are so amazing.

Hi anon! Thank you! I usually start by sketching them on paper then transfer to Illustrator where I start matching colors and making final touches. :)
