Smile!

31 December 2016

Here’s a picture I drew of Gwin I drew this year. I’m currently using this as a facebook header, and various avatars across the web. It’ll also become my business card and website header when I get a chance…
So honestly, this is old artwork. And it’s kind of simple since it’s just a portrait of Gwin’s face. But I was really proud of how this turned out, so I wanted to post it as a proper artwork before 2016 ended.

Thanks for looking and Happy New Years! See you in 2017!

Unique Christmas

26 December 2016

Here’s the card I drew for my sister this year. ^^ Some of her favourite characters this year are Yohane and Hanamaru from Love Live Sunshine… they don’t really fit the Christmas theme, but that’s another reason I chose to draw them. Because they’re so unique, just like my sister~

I hope you’re all having a wonderful holiday!!

A Little Break

20 December 2016

I’ve been kinda obsessed with Animal Crossing ever since November… -v- Nintendo did SUCH a good job releasing the Welcome Amiibo update. I recommend it to anyone who has Animal Crossing New Leaf, for sure!

Anyways, have an oldish doodle of Isabelle I drew, since it’s her birthday today!
She’s taking a well-deserved tea/coffee break~

Thanks for looking!

Natsume Yuujinchou collection

18 December 2016

Hey, long time no post! Things have been… well. I don’t know how they’ve been. But I’m hoping things will turn around in 2017.

Anyways, about the artwork.
I was so, so happy when it was announced that Natsume Yuujinchou would have a season 5 after years of hiatus… and it did not disappoint! I missed this series SO MUCH. It was definitely a highlight of my otherwise bleak autumn. It kept me excited and I’ve doodled a fair amount of it <3

pic 1 – I just wanted to paint Natsume in an autumn setting for the aesthetic. Originally I painted him with his anime colours, but realized that his manga colours popped more (plus, more manga!natsume art is always good). This was drawn maybe in September or early October. There’s a video of me painting some finishing details on youtube.
pic 2 – Drawn more recently, inspired by one of the recent episodes of Natsume Yuujinchou Go. Natsume is so lucky to have Touko and Shigeru as foster parents… but what if they adopted him as a child rather than a teenager? It would’ve been so wonderful. So I wanted to draw it! Now excuse me while I go deal with intense Natsume family feels kthanks.
pic 3 – Recent picture. I just started drawing and it turned into Natsume lol~

(I wish I had a 3rd pic to put beside the last one for pretty formatting… but alas I don’t. sigh.)

You’ll be seeing a lot more posts from me over the next two weeks, since I have a bunch of doodles/artworks I want to post before the new year hits! Yeahh!!
Hope everyone’s having a good time~
