Artist's Introduction

Yo, visitor! Welcome to my corner of Tumblr. I go by the alias [PaperBag]. I’m a digital artist who mostly makes fanart of characters I’m obsessed with… usually in black and white, since coloring and I have a very complicated situationship. I’m still learning, not that good yet, but hey… fumbling through is half the fun, right? This page is both my creative space and my little experiment lab, where you lot are the adorably feral lab mice I test on as I attempt to figure out how the socials of art and fandoms work. ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ I promise, I'm more professional on my other platforms. Feel free to drop me a question or if you want to be art buddies, come say hi. I might be awkward and… a little shady, but I swear I’m not the type to suddenly bonk people on the head and drag them into my space… without, you know? Anyone seeing. Maybe? Don’t be afraid! Jokes aside... likes, reposts and follows are greatly appreciated!

Other Interest:

➵ Reading fanfictions ➵ Playing online games (LoL, Valorant, Apex, Repo… tried Dota 2 once and never played it again) ➵ Sleeping, of absolutely course!

You can also find me on:

Haven’t posted in a while, so here’s an illustration of Enjin.

It’s my first time trying something like this, and I had to lower the resolution since Tumblr only allows up to 20MB per upload, so please pardon the messiness.

Also, carefully dropping this here (Gachiakuta OC Art Trade Event for Artists and Writers)...because why not?

Yo! Dropping a simple colored piece for the generous soul who let me kidnap their OC for a while.

Huge thanks to 「 ✦ @muerder-snail ✦ 」 for lending me Toby as a muse to help wrestle my art block into submission.

He’s such an incredible character, and while I’m not sure I did him full justice, I definitely had fun trying! (‾◡◝)

Here’s the [Link] to the post where I stumbled upon him alongside two other equally amazing OCs. Now then, onto the next victim: The winged supporter, Aven Waldvogel, 「 ✦ @blueavian-draws' ✦ 」 OC.

Don’t mind the sudden pop of color!

Monochrome drawings have their own appeal to me and honestly, I've got commitment issues with coloring.

Might do it later, might not.

Do you know that feeling when you can’t focus on anything else because you have to get that one nagging thought out of your head? But all of a sudden, you just can’t draw?

Yeah, that was me for the past three days.

<(＿　＿)>

Turns out, all it took was a new brush to finally… finally get it done with.

So here are some headshot sketches of Team Akuta’s combatants along with Gris and Follo… all of them somehow frowning at you lot, for reasons you probably already know.

Maybe?

I desperately need more fanart and headcanons of these characters!

Here’s a timelapse, too. Wish Tumblr had an audio-stuff option like Instagram mobile for lazy peeps like me.

Update [9/28/25]: Lazy no more! Do be kind enough not to judge my song choice… because trust me, there are plenty more questionable ones coming your way. (ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ)

Guess who’s running away from coloring another art piece due next week… by drawing Hakuji and Koyuki instead?

Guess who did it on impulse until 2 a.m., banking on there being no classes just a few hours away?

Guess who still showed up to school late and exhausted?

I’ve been a digital artist for quite some time now, mostly working on illustrations for school projects and the school magazine. I wouldn’t say I’m particularly good at it, but recently I thought it might be a good idea to share my work beyond campus... whether through commissions, art communities, or simply connecting with others who enjoy the craft.

So, here’s my first post! This piece is part of a commission sheet I’m building for my portfolio in Kirke. After rewatching Mo Dao Zu Shi--thanks to a TikTok edit that reignited my inspiration--I decided to use its visuals as reference material.

This icon features Wei Wuxian in Mo Xuanyu’s body (Episode 1) alongside Muzan Kibutsuji from Demon Slayer. They’re meant to demonstrate two styles I’ll be offering: one in monochrome and the other in a full render (or at least my version of one).

As for Lan Zhan… he’ll definitely be there beside Wei Ying--but I’m still debating whether to make him a chibi or a standard illustration.

What do you all think? ˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗ ˏˋ ୨୧ ˎˊ ˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗
