Hello!! I’ve updated my commission sheet with new samples and better graphics!
If you’re interested, feel free to contact me for a quote.

Availability: My commissions are nearly always open, as long as a slot is open. (There may be exceptions).
You can check my slot availability via Trello !

Happy Halloween everyone!

I had so much trouble settling on composition and outfit and colour design for this – but I think I have a new OC now!! Look forward to seeing her again~
(Now to come up with a name for her… oh no)

I started feeling very… lost, this summer, and realized I needed a new project to help me get back on track with my art. So, I’ve started posting on youtube again!

Please like and subscribe to help support my artwork. ♥
I’d also really appreciate feedback on the video editing and such itself, since I’m so new to it.

Happy March everyone!
I needed to update my rates, so I gave my whole commission sheet a revamp, with a new design and updated examples of previous commissions I’ve done. ^^
How many slots are open is also available publicly this time.

As always, shares are really appreciated, and if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Preorders have opened for the KyoAni fanzine I’m in!! It’s a zine dedicated to those who were lost in the Kyoto Animation fire last year, and proceeds are going to Give Kids the World Village, to give children precious memories just like KyoAni did for us. The zine features beautiful artwork and merch inspired by many of their projects.

Physical and digital copies are available as well as merch, so please consider making a purchase! If you’re unable to buy it, spreading the word of the zine is a HUGE support!

Though I’m saddened by the sheer loss that happened last year, I’m thankful to see the families got the support they needed. Kyoto Animation has been a huge influence on both my art, and me as a person. And to be able to draw Hyouka, one of my all-time favourite anime series, for the tribute to their memories – it’s truly an honor.

Ehehe, this is a little late (oops!)…
But thank you to everyone who stopped by our tables at Ai-kon this year!

With all the nice people we met, the friendly familiar faces and the experiences we shared with our friends, my weekend was definitely made. Honestly, the support and appreciation for us and our hard work never fails to amaze me.

SO! Thank you to the Ai-kon committees and volunteers, all the congoers, the artists and vendors, our friends and table helpers for making our experience what it was. THANK YOU!!
This shaped up to be one of my favourite Ai-kons, personally, and it wouldn’t have been the same without you. ^^

I hope you all had a wonderful Ai-kon weekend and have a good rest-of-the-summer!!

JUST OVER A MONTH LEFT TIL AI-KON! ♥
Who’s ready for it? My mom, sister and I are all busy preparing for our tables! We’re right by the marketplace entrance/exit, so be sure to stop by and see all the new art and products we’re offering!

Just finished watching episode 14 of CCS: Clear Card! I think it’s one of my favourites yet. UwU

Ahhh!! I’m going to miss the first ending for the anime, though… they could have used it for another hundred episodes and I would not have complained at all. I mean, the new one is cute (albeit a bit spoilery) but I just LOVED “Jewelry” from the song to the aesthetics and nostalgic references.

I drew this because of that, but also because I miss the awkward, dorky, hot-tempered Syaoran from the original series, so I appreciate the moments when he still acts flustered~

I have some announcements, too!

– I’ll be opening some commission slots soon. Busts and half body in this style.
If you’re interested, keep an eye on my social media~

– I now have a Twitter account, you can follow me @designsby_sloan.
I’ll slowly be posting some older artworks to it, and new artworks as I finish them.

Thanks for looking/reading everyone – hope you had a great weekend!!

It’s no secret that I dislike winter, but it gets really difficult for me. It’s cold, dark, everything is dreary and the wait for spring long. I’m still waiting for spring to arrive – even just the other day we got another inch or two of snow.
So I wanted to try and give myself a break to draw a bunch of my favourite things to make the wait for spring easier… literally and metaphorically.

On another note, this morning I created a Ko-fi page.
I’m still working on setting it up and figuring out how to use it, but if you like my art and want to support it, feel free to leave me a tip! Every little bit counts and I’d really appreciate the help!!

I won’t forget this precious memory, between you and me.

I finally finished colouring this Inktober line art of mine! I didn’t intend to colour it so soon, but I ended up needing a break and it seemed like a suitable option.

The lines still have their own charm, and it was really well-received, but I really love how these colours turned out too. I hope everyone else agrees. ♥

I’ve actually been enjoying using this watercolour style a lot recently, so I’ve now created a Digital Watercolours category under Digital. I also changed my Manga Studio category to Clip Studio Paint to match the official brand name change.
