✨New Art// Dusa 🐍

The eyes of MedusaIt has been FOREVER since I drew any version of a gorgon or medusa and I felt like she would make a really good and cute drawing for October. I was in the middle of working on a commission and as a little break I decided to jump into this cute portrait and it was a fun one!I LOVE painting these colors: pale green skin with the gold accents! So satisfying! I also felt like she worked well with some rougher scritchy scratchy lineart, so that was fun!Anyhoo, I hope you like her! _2026 Calendars are HERE! 📅Upcoming Tutorial:...

✨New Art// Black Phillip

Kicking off October with a little spooky art! I'm currently cat sitting at my aunt and uncle's house for a couple of weeks on a VERY parred back workstation so I did this piece to try and get a feel for working on this different, smaller tablet and laptop. I'm not sure if the parred back setup will make my art feel a little different... maybe less polished because the screen just isn't as big, but we'll see! haha! I also think the screen colors are a little different, so that will take some adjusting on my end as well. I...

Life Update Blog 🍂(a full house, miso's dental work, a little escape, summer reading, childhood art)

Autumn ArrivesI can’t believe we’re already in the full swing of autumn here in the Northern Hemisphere. After such a hot summer, the temperature suddenly dropped!The last time I wrote, I mentioned that I’ve been living in a bit of a liminal space. That is still true. In some ways, I’ve fallen into a sort of routine, but in other ways, I still don’t feel completely adjusted.A Year Full of CommissionsThis really has been the year of commissions. I went a long time without taking many, and even now I don’t accept nearly as many as som...

🎬Cute & Cringe Middleschool Sketchbook Tour

Last week I helped my mom sort through her storage unit and found a ton of art I thought was long lost! 🎨I’ve got a whole tote bin full of artwork from kindergarten all the way through college to look through, but I think my favorite era might be middle school. Not because I loved middle school (definitely didn’t 😅), but because the art just feels so real and full of energy, even with all its cringe.We did a casual little tour through two of my middle school sketchbooks on stream today, and it was such a fun trip down memory lane. Thi...

✨New Art// Alchemy of Secrets Dustjacket

Oooooh! I'm so excited to share this with you!! I got to do a German special edition Dust Jacket design and edge designs for Alchemy of Secrets by Stephanie Garber! (yes, the same Stephanie Garber behind the Caraval and Once Upon a Broken Heart series! Ahhh!)Here's a link to the publisher's reveal post!The book is meant to have kind of art deco-inspired vibes, so I was tasked with coming up with a dust jacket design that isn't completely art deco but takes some inspiration from it. In the design, I needed to include some ele...

✨New Art// Lady of the Lake [NSFW Warning on some images]

The Lady of the Lake is a mysterious enchantress, often described as faerie or faerie-like, who presents the legendary sword Excalibur to King Arthur. Though often confused with the sword in the stone, Excalibur is a separate weapon, bound to Arthur by her gift. Beyond this, she is also remembered as the foster mother of Lancelot. After the death of his father, she carried the boy into her hidden, magical realm, where she raised and trained him until he was ready to take his place as one of Arthur’s greatest knights.It’s been a while since ...

✨Art//Lilith

Lilith, Goddess or Mother of Demons, embodies both the untamed essence of femininity and defiance against societal norms, challenging conventions and embracing independence.Hello my lovelies! 🌟 In honor of the supposed rapture today (🤭)Here is the public post of this piece of an older artwork of Lilith!Pledged Post +RewardsLilith isn't always who I first think of when I imagine mythological goddesses, but after a number of people requested her over the years, I decided to do some digging and learn more about her.

Here is the time-lapse speedpaint for Patrons🖌️ with music for: Dragon PriestessI had so much fun with this piece, I mean I ALWAYS have fun drawing girls with swords! haha! This piece came at a time when I was feeling really down and so decided to just start drawing live on twitch and see what came out.This isn't the first time that I've drawn an armored girl with a sword when I am personally feeling down and defeated. There might be some sort of symbolism in that armor that I always return to when feeling that way. Like, as I pain...

🎬Speedpaint//Diviner Number Six

Here is the time-lapse speedpaint for Patrons🖌️ with music for: Number SixI was completely sucked into the book The Knight and the Moth, so I HAD to do some art of Number Six. I feel like the book is so wonderful and paints dark and yet beautiful imagery. I wanted some of that to come across in this piece. The water in this piece was kept quite simple. I wanted it to feel smooth and almost like a dark void. After painting other water that was a little more beautiful and had more ripples, I kind of had to pull myself back from painting ...

✨New Art// Dragon Priestess

Chosen by dragons and forged in fire, the guardian and priestess stands ready to defend the ancient dragon gods of old.Last Sunday, during our live stream I was feeling quite down, and decided that, despite having other stuff to work on, for the livestream we would just start on something new and see where it went! This dragon warrior/priestess came out! The veiled version gave me the idea that she might be more of a priestess than just a knight. I really like both the veiled and the unveiled versions. The veil makes her feel more unique an...

My Go-To Hand and Wrist Warmups and Stretches for Drawing // VIDEO

If you’ve seen that already, this might feel familiar, but I wanted to give these warmups their own spotlight so you can find them quickly without scrubbing through the full tutorial.These are my quick, go-to stretches, simple enough to do before you start drawing, during breaks, or to wind down at the end of a session. Of course, there are plenty more out there, but these are the ones I personally rely on the most.Enjoy this casual little video!Check out...

✨Art// Venus and Mars

Mars and Venus' celestial dance of heated passion and love...Pledged Post +RewardsHello my lovelies! 🌟 Here is the public post of this piece of Mars and Venus!It is about time I try my hand at drawing Venus/Aphrodite, and Mars/Ares together! If you aren't familiar with the myth, Aphrodite has a husband: Hephaestus. But she has an affair with Ares, the god of war.Since the planets they are associated with do a little dance in the sky every 2 years or so (at least that's what I've read, but I might not have that 100 percent acc...

✨New Art// Diviner Number Six

"Your craft was obedience. You said the names of gods and how to read their signs. You learned how to dream—And how to drown.”― Rachel Gillig, The Knight and the MothOh.My.Gosh.
