My migraines and everything flared since I saw the skz movie on the 6th, so I've felt like death😅 there were more people there than I expected for my small town and several people were handing out freebies! There was some screeching, but I still had a lot of fun🥰

Finished the matching #skzoo plushies! Now, I'm working on designing skzoo photocards as freebies to hand out at our #dominATEexperience screening. I need to work on Leebit's perspective since the reference looks much more possessed😹

My cat, Cece, napping while wrapped up in my crochet cable cardigan panel I recently finished Sketch on canvas board of a vase of flowers inspired by the Pantone color of the year choice. The flowers are lily of the valley, petunias and aralias.

Working on several projects and getting back into more casual doodling. I just had to make my broke person version of the #Jureomi keychain from that #skz pop-up store😹
I hope to make this "platonic love" painting idea into a series, since I have several other sketches I didn't use for this one.
A sketchbook spread of my new cat, DJ. The page background is a hand drawn grid box. He is drawn in the bottom left, sitting on a metal crescent moon with heart-shaped bolts, a plush bird toy dangling from the top point over his head. There is a large, pink star hovering in the top right corner, more pink lines the right-most side behind it. Another DJ cat is curled up, sleeping, to the left of the star. Ther are 2 blue lined clouds on the other 2 corners of the page. A sketchbook spread of a Hyunjin Karma teaser photo. Hyunjin's portrait is in a paper star frame over a larger box in the background. Hyunjin's name is spelled out like stamp letters in the top left. The Karma album logo is in the bottom left corner. There are bubbles and more "paper" stars of varying sizes scattered around the page. Work-in-progress of a painting based on a self-made theme of "platonic love". The painted sketch depicts 2 people wearing (soon to be) yellow rose flower crowns, holding each other while resting their foreheads against the other's. My work-in-progress Lee Know SKZ pop-up shop plush keychain using felt. It still needs the noodle arms and legs and the bottom skz logo piece.

#WIP of a painting I started while listening to Hyunjin's Quill Pen on repeat for 3 hours straight. I didn't realize until I stopped to wait for a layer of paint to dry that the person looks kinda like Hyunjin, so I added Dahlias which represent passion and some accents from their album photos
A grayscale painting of 2 overlapping rectangles: the back one depicts the reflection of blue colored smoke, the 2nd depicts bright magenta Dahlia flowers with grayscale stems in a clear glass vase. A person in simple street fashion stands to the right, infant of both rectangles. Their bag is shiny rainbow colored foil, as well as the 5 stars lined up on the top left of the canvas. The color pallete of the black to white and the gradient of magenta to light pink line either side of the piece as colored circles with shadows, almost like they're floating. A magenta separated yin and yang with dark blue accents and shadows, similar to the Stray Kids Karma album logo, fills the upper right corner.

Been working on some #skzstay shrinky-dink charms and started reading Vultures of The world again. I'm also recreating the charm design digitally. My hyperfixation on birds has awakened from its century long slumber. Also, the april fools event in #crk is better than I could've imagined.
#artist
A polaroid style image of cookie run kingdom inspired stray kids charms. They're are 2 STAY Cookies, both with a magic candy in skz brand colors (black, white, red). A polaroid style image of a stack of 2 books and over-ear headphones decorated with stickers and a red crochet bow. The books are 'Vultures of The World' (top) and 'Illustrated Atlas of Wildlife' (bottom). A polaroid style image. A progress photo of a digital character sheet for STAY Cookie with their Nachimbong inspired weapon that has a beaded charm tied to it. The Nachimbong is made to look like a candy globe with an ice cream cone style handle. Stay Cookie is wearing an outfit inspired by the Case 143 performance video (cream, light "denim", pink, red colors).

Making freebies for the #straykids dominATE DC show in June. I've run out of cute beads, but I've had fun working on them. I'm also distressing some jeans for my #Changbin inspired outfit, which is similar to my vtuber outfit

I haven't shared progress photos in a bit, but I finally started shading everything and doing a bit more detail for the hair🤗 I kinda wat to change the eyelids to be more down but I don't want to redraw them😅
#artist #vtubermodel #queerartist
photo of my Vtuber model that I'm working on. The have short, messy brown hair; thick eyebrows; blue eyes with white flower shaped pupils; a sort of realistic nose; sketchy blush marks, and a beaded necklace with a guitar pick that says "they/them". They also have dangle earrings of my old dog and cat that passed a couple years ago with purple hearts.

Microsoft sucks. I am now writing my #mhaoc story on my notes app on my phone. My thumbs hurt. But here's a WIP of Briar #mha #fanart #oc
A work in progress of my MHA OC Briar. They are posed ready to slash mid-air with feather blades and they have flame wings that go from coral to a darkish cyan. Their hair is black with a coral pink dyed fringe. They wear a dark magenta crop top with matching boots and black pants that are detachable at the knee with buckles. They have silver arm sleeves as a special support item.

Sometimes looking at all the before and after frame outlines underneath the current frame line art hurts my brain. I also finished jjk manga and it was kind of underwhelming but I won't go into that here😅
Photo of my animation w.i.p. Multiple images are essentially layered over each other in the animation program to help draw the movements.

I'm almost finished with the #jujutsukaisen manga and I dunno how I'm feeling about it but this was one of my favorite scenes, so I decided to make art based on it. I plan on making a YT video explaining the process and stuff. Also, my weekly blog is up on my Kofi! #artist #fanart #makizenin
Artwork of Maki Zen'in and Toji Fushiguro from a JuJutsu Kaisen manga panel. Maki is in front, Holding Toji's sword and Toji is behind her in shadow. The background resembles a fire-like aura around Maki. There is text on the top right that says "Destroy Everything" quoting Mai Zen'in.

My first weekly blog was posted yesterday! This one is about my spring gardening plans. I've written down a few topics for future blogs, as well. I'm going to rest my wimpy little hand now.

I'm working on a crochet maxi skirt based on some fairycore/forestcore ones I've seen on YT and I'm really liking it so far! I'm thinking about getting different shades of green or maybe some sparkly yarn. I might add some charms too, either way this thing shall be whimsical!

Ship queerplatonic-ed successfully! Am I about to queerplatonic more ships? Maybe. My headcannon is that all of them are housemates and some are in college, others working. I feel like Marco would major in literature and be a writer or teacher🤷 #aotfanart #queerplatonic #queerartist
A drawing of Jean and Marco from Attack On Titan (post time skip age) with their arms around each other's shoulders laughing. They are wearing casual clothes with long sleeves and slippers. The two are surrounded by 6 hearts with the colors of the queerplatonic flag. The background is periwinkle with small dots of a lighter shade.

My first #AOTfanart
Hange is one of my favorite characters so I had to draw them first🥰
I'm going to draw Marco and Jean as adult QPPs next because they deserve happiness😤
#fanart #attackontitan #zoehange #queerartist
2 sketches of Attack On Titan characters: The left is Hange doing a Queencard pose. They have the scout wings on their back and text next to them saying "Eccentric Enby Icon". The right is Marco and Jean as adults putting their arms around each other while standing side by side. The queer-platonic flag is to their right.
