Hiya! My commissions are open, to a limited extent! Please send a message or email if you are interested!

I started playing around in zbrush for some practice :O I really like sculpting, but it's a process learning all the different tools and functions xD

[uppiguppi]

I did some Dusa sketches too :3

[uppiguppi]

Some Korrasami for pride! I managed to get some free time to doodle, finally!

[uppiguppi]

I wanted to paint something fun! And I love doing portraits like this!

[uppiguppi]

A self-indulgent stress relief self portrait. Been feeling very burnt out on art lately, so I’ve promised myself to only paint things I enjoy painting haha

[uppiguppi]

a bunch of Hades sketches I drew after playing Hades over christmas <__<

My friend commissioned me to paint her characters from a story she’s writing :3

[uppiguppi]

Did some pastiche self portraits for the 2D art course. Mine are on the left. The first one is by Leyendecker, and the second one by Anders Zorn.

Assignment on composition. Had a Lovecraftian theme going

[uppiguppi]

Did a material study! 

[uppiguppi]

An assignment in my 2D course, where we had to create a real life “product” (lamp in my case) based on a theme (fantasy). Really love how it turned out! :)

[uppiguppi]

Here was the first big assignment for my intro to 3D course! Make a Rocket League inspired car! Learned a lot making it :)

Alisaie and Alphinaud ended up being two of my favorites in FFXIV. 

In these heatwaves my room regularly hits 30C and my computer overheats and shuts off u__u

What is pride month without some korrasami??? I’ve been busy with commissions lately and haven’t had a lot of time to draw for myself, but I had some downtime and drew this sketch!

[uppiguppi]

I binged through all of She-Ra recently and I immediately fell in love with how unapologetically gay it was! So I sketched out a quick catradora piece for pride :3

ok so. I got “back” into playing FFXIV, which has been a huge time sink :D I played it for a month back in like 2013 and got a Black mage to level 50, but I lost that character since it was easier to just buy all the new expansions in a package deal, so I’m rp-ing that my new character is the older brother of my old character lmao
