You know I've been thinking about Mantra's phidia features....

Mitas' bday was the 30th of march so we did a little (slightly late) drawing-hangout session with shuuzaar to celebrate !!! [Mitas (the cat) is mine and goes by he/him] [Rhithin (horned-one) is shuu's and goes by they/them]

I really enjoyed the last story chapter... (Mantra & Raidian live rent free in my head now)

So... after struggling years to finish my previous ongoing sketchbooks, I FINALLY started a new one recently ;u;

I chose to treat it as a fresh slate and name it the "Training Arc Sketchbook" . The goal is to do my best to draw & practise more regularly to fill it and to try to reconnect with why I started to draw in the first place !! I'm also trying to disconnect from "the dopamine boost of sharing everything I drew instantly" so I'll probably be sparse on Social Media(s) but I WILL try to come and share bundles of pages or sth every now and then !!

hi, i’m not sure if you still draw them but a few years ago (like maybe 4 yrs ago at this point?) i got SUPER obsessed with your sylvaina fanart and i wanted to say that they still inspire me when i draw 😭 i just wanted you to know that i think your art is SO beautiful !!!

Omg thank you so much for your kind words ! ;;;;;;;; I don't draw them much anymore but I still think about them from time to time and I DO have a few WIPs of them I'd like to finish eventually someday / still poke at ever so slowly... So while I can't really promise new art of them I can't also say /for sure/ that it will never ever happen x,) I wish you the best on your art and creative journey !!! And I am sure your art will inspire people in turn. Thank you again for this message ;;;; means a lot

what traditional pencils/mediums and sketchbook brands do u like to use? i really like the recent sketches!

I'm answering a bazillion years late BUT !!! First of all thank you for your kind words !!! Now about the pens and sketchbooks. - Pens : I tend to draw a lot with fountain pens and even more with ballpoint pens. For the recent Arknights sketches I used on my "4 colours" Bic ! I have a few of those and I love them because it's really handy to have multiple colours ready on the go to make doodling fun

- Sketchbooks : Most of my sketchbook are either Moleskin or Leuchtturm sketchbooks because I enjoy knowing they can take a beatup (and let me tell you that one survived being completely drowned for multiple hours so yknow (the drawings inside didn't but that's another matter)) BUT I also buy any sketchbook that I find nice / pretty / that seem fun ! I recently bought one when I visited a store in Sweden while traveling etc So I'd say... try different sketchbooks and find the papers you enjoy most ! I also have a sketchbook with thick paper designed for watercolours !

Tell us about your paracosms!.. Please?

Hi ! Oh man haha, my paracosm is just where I bundle my oldest OCs (in a world that has been called "Symphonia" because when I first started making OCs when I was like... 12 years old I REALLY fucking loved Tales of Symphonia :,^) ) The OCs that I still draw the most from there are, of course, Lana and Rena !

For the past few months I've been reworking their story in my head (when it comes to me... mainly when I walk to and from work) and I'd say I have reworked about 80% of their "story beats"... Their relationship is very rocky and tumultuous and grows from a toxic abuser/dependant dynamic to two people who grew into respecting themselves and the other person too and (re)discover each other through that new lens.

There's also a bunch of older lil guys (Felyx, the previous main character ; Edhel, Zero, etc etc) but I haven't gotten around to reworking those (though I'd say I did develop Edhel's family and little corner of the world more than anything else haha) And of course there's also Rena's family, but that's also under the reconstruction work because, well.... I grew up and I realized a lot of the initial choices I made at 15 years old were wonky at best and shady at worst :,^)

Hopefully I'll be sharing more about all this little thing living in my head in the weeks, months and years to come as I try to reconnect with drawing and creating and having fun through art !!!

Another rough year but we persist… Wishes for 2026 are : rougher art (actually putting ideas out on paper), composition & colours practice, self-indulgent art (OCs & ladies) !

Sketchbook Drawings from back in October !

Dunno if I'll manage to keep the energy of the sketch while cleaning it up a bit so I might as well share this WIP Eppy squishy babygirls...

We cleared Pilgrim's Traverse for the first time yesterday ✨ The last boss was so scary but we prevailed !!!

The strongest saddest most selfish and selfless mewmew in Arknights...

In 2019 I’d started a ‘Pokemon Huevember’ (>> you can find the post here <<) - This year I decided to continue it a little ! Hopefully I’ll keep adding more to it next year >8^)

Always wanted to doodle a lil Kai'Sa… definitely wish her armor was more hunger/void themed and that they made her look scarier/creepier when her helmet is off ;;;;

Hornet has been really enjoyable to doodle during meal breaks at work.

"When people talk about Her Highness, they treat her like the unattainable future of the Sarkaz. But to me, she is who she is. She trips over her dress, she intentionally "forgets" certain meetings, she gives me hugs."

Channeling my sadness about the fact that my girl Ascalon didn't get to say goodbye to Theresa along all the other daughters (and the wife) ;-; I'm so sad for her...

A Delta Rune fanart combined with Huevember o9 - I like it enough to make it stand on its own on here >:^)
