about this blog

kia ora! welcome to my blog, here's what I'm about ^^

I publish a webtoon called Tall Poppy - college romance, SLOW burn, friendships and sibling chaos galore (currently being re-booted)

I have another ongoing webtoon called Carrot-Head - high school rom-com (currently on hiatus)

sometimes I post illustrations or short comics - often related to my Webtoons

asks about my art, story, OCs, process etc are welcome

my fandom blog is The Sad Puffin

Carrot-Head episode 48

I'm trying out a new thing where I format some scenes from the episodes to better post them on socials. doesn't work perfectly, but it does look better than trying to chop the webtoon into something shareable.

I made a comic about being non-binary. posting it here first to work up the courage to post it on Instagram where people I actually know follow me lol.

a Tall Poppy mini comic with a scene that never made it into the main story! it's basically just Jamie trying to deal with his crush (really that's kind of the whole story in the Webtoon too now that I think about it LMAO)

episode 8 is up and it's another favourite 🤭🥰 you can read the full episode here!

I always wanted to make these kinds of posts with Tall Poppy characters, and now that the comic is underway I finally am! I have like a bajillion text posts saved up lol but some I can't do yet cos they're spoilers. anyway I WILL be making more cos this was so fun!

from episode 7 - important discussions about vanilla ensue 😆 you can read the full episode here!

art vs artist 2025 babyyy (previous years below the cut)

[polarbeararts]

snippet from the most recent episode of Tall Poppy - nerd vs geek, an important distinction!

I don't think I ever shared this little isometric drawing I made of Poppy's room, but I like how it turned out! drawing in this perspective was so satisfying

[polarbeararts]

Tall Poppy has officially relaunched, woo! Read it here

Kiko's twin brother Rei ✨

I def have some work to do to draw these two consistently ahaha but I'll get thereeee

[polarbeararts]

some designs for another Tall Poppy character, my pastel goth girl Kiko 👌✨

[polarbeararts]

I drew this in like 2019, based on a true story from my childhood - me and my brother did so much stupid shit like this. simpler times 😔

Jamie as a biker boy 😎 ref used for the bike and pose

plagued by thoughts of blond Aidyn

every year I redraw this character, as a way to see my progress and how my art style changes. all the past years are below the cut (goes all the way back to 2017!)

I hate most of them ngl but gotta respect the journey to get here!
