Yuki has an all new look inspired by 90's rainbow school supplies!
Yuki is a new original character themed after snow leopards and that bright 90's colorful art that was always on school supplies. I named her Yuki Hyo, after the Japanese word for snow leopard and gave he the ears to match!
She is also a musical artists who just hit 3x platinum which from what I understand means really really good! I love my new gal and I have especially loved the print version of this piece which i have had for sale at conventions!
Do you prefer showers over baths? I think I have come to enjoy taking a bath over showering so I can have a couple moments of peace to myself without any distractions. Double it up with some nice epsom salt and bubbles and you have a recipe for a relaxing night. I've been seeking more moments of calm joy lately to escape the craziness, i think this drawing from earlier this year really personifies the type of peace I try to invite into my life!
I thought it was about time I did a fun little doodle of myself as I try out some new brushes!! I'm gonna try to be a little bit more experimental and really center my art around fun even more!!
I think you can really see my sailor moon and dbz influences with this piece,,, not a bad thing but I've been nerding out!!
I'm so excited to put this year behind me, its been a couple rough years for me and I am very hopeful that 2026 I can get back to the things I love the most!
This year I put a big emphasis on having fun with my art and really enjoying the parts of it that make me me! I allowed myself room to experiment and grow as well as put in real time practicing anatomy and composition.
I'm very happy with the direction my art is going in and I can't wait to reflect on 2026!
Celebrating my achievements has been incredibly difficult but this idea from @itskinotastic on instagram really helped me look back on all the amazing things i did with my art this year!
I have a couple pieces that feel like sparking points for growth, this is one of the first which I can identify as a changing point.
Mostly because this was intended to be a study combining aspects of other artists that I enjoyed + using a pose I liked.
It struggled a lot in the beginning , luckily i archived the progress on pinterest

I think atp I was pretty miserable with one of the 3 layoffs my family was going to face within the next 6 months. I dropped the piece in December 2024.
I was in the process of reworking another piece which turned out so well I wanted to challange myself to work on this further since i wasnt happy with it.
I don't know much about composition and backgrounds so this was really a stretch for me. After developing my skills a little further I can see this is far from perfect but I had some good groundwork to help me with later pieces.
This ended up one of two pieces that I think really brought me into the world of adding more graphic design into my work, a decision which still hold strong to this day and has made me happier as an artist. Even when I'm stressed.
Artfight has become incredibly popular in the last couple of years and with that there has been a lot of pressure to perform for others. Artfight is a game at the end of the day and its meant to be FUN!
These are my new rules for art fight to keep it enjoyable and still have fun! gone are the days that i felt like I had to revenge everyone, hurting my hands and burning out.
