A Fletchling with Gracidea flower for my sister. It's based on a very old art I drew for her when I first started drawing digitally.

A sakura branch for a friend, fulfilling a years old request. Featuring my sister's fun inclusion haha

Hello

Sorry for the lack of activity on this blog. I have been drawing a lot but most are stuff I am not exactly proud to post on here (ie, sketchy draws and an abundance of wip screenshots). So they'll most likely stay on my main @/kaimukiwahine.

Been reblogging some things from there here to not flood the tags of the respective community. Those that have their own posts are older art or has been long enough it's lost in the tags.

Hope you all are doing very well.

This man would weaponize stale bread and flirt to romance a giant Russian cop all in order to gain his freedom.

While I do love the idea that the Player character does genuinely love the Militsioner (if you go that route), still have to remember that the devs did say at one point basically "romance or go to jail". But I want to believe they're sincere acts and the player is an awkward flirt with a rough exterior!

Had to do a very quick sketch for the 8th PoGo Anniversary.

I still have my very first pokemon: <FIRST!> the Squirtle.

Caught him on the 7th because server issues and there was no spawn points in my neighborhood at the time. Now we have a good handful!

... Opinion from a literal criminal.

I have to unfortunately scrap this project because it was reaching my breaking point. I couldn't get things to look how I want through linework and then the render for the last three. Hoping I can pick it back up when I get a bit better at drawing eyes and expressions and drawing the Militsioner.

But you can see the intended spread below the cut. Hope that's okay...

This is my attempt at that one concept art. Tried to redo the face but I just couldn't get it to look right with my current amateur skillset.

So gonna call it here.

My two favorite male bachelors in Stardew Valley: drunk but relatable chicken guy and Trevor Hills of American Arcadia

Last thing for now. My entries to the @ hlvrai-twh Art Gallery contest featuring Sunkist and Tommy. Tried to do something Van Gogh-like but didn't work.

Still trying to figure out how to do colors properly.

[sketchesfromaoxymoron]

Second to last thing I wanted to share for now. I had the honor of doing a few art for the @ hlvrai-twh blog for the Joshua segment. Still have a lot to learn about colors and background but I think it looks okay.

Also since May, I have presented my MS thesis, finished my manuscript (totaling about 113 pages; most are figures/tables/appendix/references), and graduated with my Master's in Tropical Plant and Social Science (TPSS).

Hard to believe 10 years ago, I walked with my bachelors in architecture. Now I have that, and now a BS and MS in TPSS and will start my first part-time job outside of academia tomorrow.

Maybe one day I will do a PhD in Botany but will see.

Some sketches I did since my last post in May. I probably have more but can't find them.

[sketchesfromaoxymoron]

Some draw requests I did on my main. "A lil banana slug eating a leaf"

"Just regular kitty cat doin' a sleep"

"Bees on a flower :D"

[sketchesfromaoxymoron]

Was taking a break from a big draw project by drawing @ Pistachi0art’s Benrey and Gordon as Yakuza boys (Majima and Kiryu). Also an excuse to draw them in suits because yes.  

[sketchesfromaoxymoron]

Dabbling on varying degrees of pin up poses on Gordon and Tommy from HLVRAI, specifically @pistachi0art designs for them (please follow them; they are a wonderful person who also makes amazing art and better pin ups haha).

Quickly made a red panda because my friend couldn't attend a plushie event on campus to get something for his gf. Hope she likes em!
