a drawing of yunaka from fire emblem shadows. the ears kind of make her look like an umamusume instead of a squirrel but we persist...

Hiya Papaya 💫

A drawing of umamusume (horsegirls) lyn and florina embracing on my attempt at drawing the sacae plains with elibe mountains in the background.

May 28th, 2023. Clip Studio Paint. Ib. Technically a redraw of an older piece. A drawing of Mary from the Japanese Horror RPG Ib. She has a friendly expression on her face and is reaching her hand out to the viewer. She's holding a palette knife behind her back and is surrounded by vines growing from the floor. The vibe is ominous.

February 25th, 2024. Clip Studio Paint. An unfinished drawing of my shiny bellsprout OC, Goldie, who is leaning against a banister overlooking a sunset at a beach. I was experimenting with painting but lost interest.

January 9th, 2024. Clip Studio Paint. FE Fates / FE Heroes. A drawing of "Winter" Charlotte who is wearing a fur cape, bralette, booty shorts, and boots. Her weapon is an oversized candy cane. She's also wearing a headband with antlers attached and sticking her tongue out. I copy pasted a FEH battle background for the background.

Rapid fire round because I barely drew anything digitally in this period.

January 7th, 2021. Clip Studio Paint. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. A composition of humanized Charmander (bottom center), Treecko (left), Absol (right), and Gardevoir (top center) with outfits inspired by the then-new mobile game: Arknights. I remember loving the composition but being lost on what to do for the background, which is a common thread in my art with background being an afterthought.

June 3rd, 2021. Clip Studio Paint. Skyrim. A drawing of my Khajiit thief/assassin, Naz'ita, along with her wife Ysolda and their two adopted children. Based on the fact that I made a Skyrim file and filled my house with nothing but women. I chose Ysolda for the fact that she wasn't prejudiced against Khajiits like most of the Skyrim natives. I lost that save file years prior but I managed to save screenshots of Naz'ita and put together a version of her here. She was part of me realizing I was bi and thus I drew this for pride month.

June 4th, 2021. Clip Studio Paint. A drawing of my oc, Nadine, who started as a RWBY oc but it turned into its own world. Nadine is a black woman with unnatural white hair that turns orange at the tips. She's preparing to cast magic while surrounded by a blizzard, a look of rage on her face. Her personal palette is a combo of whites and blues.

September 3rd, 2021. Clip Studio Paint. I'm The Grim Reaper. A fanart based on a fancreation challenge the author posted on her twitter to make your own reaper. I got 'magenta' and 'alligator' and made a demon based on my own appearance. I really like the composition and the drawing of the gator. Plus the strong use of magenta/pink.

April 12th, 2020. Clip Studio Paint. RWBY. A drawing of Lie Ren and Jaune Arc in a cafe in Mistral, touching hands and looking into each other's eyes. I joined a small RWBY fangroup (less than 10 people) and made some friends who really stoked my waning desire to produce art. It was a volatile friend group that ended within a year but its what I needed during early lockdown.

May 14th, 2020. Clip Studio Paint. RWBY. A drawing that references a meme of two people kissing and a third is sipping from the straw of one of their drinks. In this case, Ren and Jaune are kissing and Nora is stealing from Ren's drink.

July 30th, 2020. Clip Studio Paint. Fire Emblem. A drawing of Rinea from FE Shadows of Valentia in a witch themed costume flying on a broomstick through the night sky. Technically started in 2019 but finished in 2020. A love the soft shading and line-art. The color palette uses more cool tones than I usually use.

December 4th, 2020. Clip Studio Paint. RWBY x Genshin Impact. I combined my two major interests at the time and created GI-themed outfits for JNPR. I was really big into character designing at the time and felt pretty proud trying to combine their personal aesthetics with GI elements. I also tried to use the same colors throughout the designs when I could to create more cohesion. Jaune is visionless to start but eventually gains a hydro vision as hydro was seen as the element of justice and Jaune is based on Jeanne d'Arc.

February 19th, 2019. Clip Studio Paint. A drawing of Karla from Fire Emblem Rekka no Ken. Karla is kneeling and look off to the right with an unamused expression. Her skintone ended up a little too yellow in my opinion.

November 1st, 2019. Clip Studio Paint. A drawing of Charlotte from FE Fates in FE Three Houses, pre and post timeskip. In my mind she'd start with the Blue Lions but her true route would be with the Black Eagles. She'd fold instantly for Edelgard, let's be real. As a Blue Lion, her post-skip look incorporates a lot of fur elements and tights to keep her warm.

November 1st, 2019. Clip Studio Paint. A drawing of Shade from FE Cipher but in an alternate FE Three Houses timeline. Done mostly for my friend who loves Shade. I remember not wanting to draw her shoulder gauntlet because it was too hard... I've come so far.

June 21st, 2019. Clip Studio Paint. Technically a redraw of an older piece. I experimented with a 'lineless' style with a more cohesive, pinkish color palette. She's listening to music on an ipod btw, I'm that old.

March 12th, 2018. Clip Studio Paint. A redraw of an older drawing involving my shiny bellsprout oc, Goldie. A woman with brown skin and auburn hair is surrounded by vines. She's wearing a yellow dress with a green belt.

May 18th, 2018. Clip Studio Paint. A drawing of Lyn from Fire Emblem Rekka no Ken. She's wearing a Sacaen version of a pegasus rider's uniform, implying she left for Ilia with Florina after the events of the main game.

September 23rd, 2018. Clip Studio Paint. A drawing of Charlotte from Fire Emblem Fates in the Fates version of the Witch uniform. I love the soft coloring and shading used here.

October 18th, 2018. Clip Studio Paint. A drawing of Undyne from Undertale using a limited color palette. I was also experimenting with shading 'leather' on the overcoat and pants. I like the combo of the limited palette and stylized shading.

Start of the decline in art.

April 2nd, 2017. Clip Studio Paint. A drawing of a humanized Gardevoir OC named Toshi. She is kneeling in a white dress with a pink breastplate strapped around her chest, a contemplative look on her face. Something about the way I drew her here has stuck with me through the years. I received Clip Studio Paint from my mother for my 18th birthday in December 2016, so this was done with that program.

April 15th, 2017. Clip Studio Paint. A drawing of Azura and her deceased mother, Arete, mirror over each other like a playing card. Azura is looking determinedly to the left while Arete's face isn't visible, and the background behind Arete is shaded in red to symbolize her deceased state. Inspired by Fire Emblem Fates.

May 24th, 2017. Clip Studio Paint. A drawing of a humanized meowth with brown skin and scars. She's wearing a matching bralette/pants combo and fixing bandages around her wrist and hand. I love the striking use of green in the background and shading.

May 27th, 2017. Clip Studio Paint. A drawing of Robin and Grima-in-Robin's-body from Fire Emblem Awakening. Robin is grabbing at Grima while Grima looks at her with an amused smile. Truthfully their brown skin looks quite a bit ashy to me which is unfortunate. However, I still love the idea and the composition of the piece.

February 8th, 2016. Paint Tool Sai. A fan-art for Alice: The Madness Returns. Alice is staring to the left, surrounded by an overwhelming amount of black. Red drips in the background. The text "I've done Nothing" is written in the background above her. White doll parts peak out of the black vortex of Alice's hair. Baby's first vent piece? Alice is deeply personal to me.

June 4th, 2016. Paint Tool Sai. A drawing of Neimi from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones. She's striking an odd battle pose with the text "Fight me!!" in the corner. I was obsessed with Neimi back then. I was experimenting with using just straight lines and coloring in bits of the line-art, to an effect I still like.

June 22nd, 2016. Paint Tool Sai. A drawing of one of my dragons from the website Flight Rising. Titania, an Imperial dragon, is staring behind her to the right through a volatile cloud of red and green. My original graphics tablet died and this was drawn completely by mouse. I'm still impressed by the smokey background and the effect I managed to achieve just with mouse.

October 16th, 2016. Paint Tool Sai. A drawing of Cynthia from Pokemon done using a limited palette of brown and yellow. Feedback my friend gave me: "Why is she sitting on nothing and floating?". He didn't see the vision.

May 9th, 2015. Paint Tool Sai. A drawing of my Animal Crossing: New Leaf mayor, Kitty. A drawing from the waist up of a white girl with white hair, a red bow, bandaids on her face, a red t-shirt, and a black jacket. Her eyes are closed and she's sticking her tongue out. Chosen because I was experimenting with using pictures from the internet in an overlay layer to add texture to the image.

November 23rd, 2015. Paint Tool Sai. A drawing of a woman with vitiligo, wavy blonde hair, and wings. She's wearing a white shirt, light blue cardigan, and blue jeans. Another experiment with using overlay for line-art and some shading. Shows my Maximum Ride manga influence with the wings.

November 24th, 2015. Paint Tool Sai. A drawing of a woman with brown skin, somewhat straight brown hair, with her eyes closed. A set of brown and white wings open up behind her and there's a subtle yellow halo above her head. I love how soft the shading and line-art are. She really does look angelic.

December 6th, 2015. Paint Tool Sai. We were reading The Scarlet Letter in my AP English class. Mostly drawn out of a desire to appeal to my english teacher who I really looked up to. A woman with brown wings is holding a baby while wearing a red dress with the titular scarlet letter, 'A', embroidered on it. I was going through a tumultuous time in the middle of my junior year of hs with finding out we were moving, having to drop out of classes after the end of the semester, etc, so I think I related to the main character's lack of control in her life.

July 30th, 2014. Paint Tool Sai. A doodle of uhhh Nepeta Leijon in a limited, green-themed color palette. She's striking a battle pose with the text "Strife!! I'll be your opuuuurrnent!" in the background. I've never read homestuck but one of my friends was obsessed with Nepeta.

August 8th, 2014. Paint Tool Sai. A drawing of my OC, Danielle Adams. Danielle is posing with her back to the camera and is looking over her shoulder at the viewer with a shy smile. She has blue eyes, brown skin, and wavy brown hair. I was experimenting with turning line-art layers into overlay layers to add depth. I like how vibrant this art is.

August 25th, 2014. Paint Tool Sai. A drawing of my OC, Tabitha Wilson, a trans woman who's an aspiring fashion designer. I was experimenting using textures in place of coloring, to interesting effect.

August 31st, 2014. Paint Tool Sai. A drawing of two gastly beside a gravestone done in a limited, dark burgundy and light bluish gray color palette.

January 23rd, 2013. Photoshop. A drawing of a humanized shiny bellsprout I caught the year before named Goldie surrounded by luvdisc. A redraw of an older artwork for Valentines the year before.

February 1st, 2013. A doodle of a woman with rainbow colored hair singing with the text 'Sing' in the sky.

August 22nd, 2013. Paint Tool Sai. A doodle of a humanized pelipper named Birdy. I specifically remember I was trying out a copic marker brush on Sai for this.

December 22nd, 2013. Paint Tool Sai. A doodle of an OC named Danielle Adams, a woman with wavy blonde hair, green eyes, and wearing a blue shirt. Danielle's appearance has changed drastically since this time. Technically a redraw of an even earlier piece.
