important info + clarity regarding my lack of updates!

Hi everyone!

I’ve been contacted about some concerns regarding lack of updates for the past month or so and general inconsistency. First and foremost I want to say I greatly appreciate everyone who pledges and the fact that people even want to help support me and my art and see more of my art is a comfort compared to nothing else. I really am grateful. I see how these words can fall on deaf ears because of my behaviour not entirely reflecting that considering how long I oft...

BAYONETTA WINS FEBRUARY POLL !!!!!!! 🖤🖤🖤

I had a feeling she'd win.... not sure which bayo i want to draw but I'm excited, she wears a lot of leather and different materials r always fun to paint!!!!!! See you soon 🖤🤍

more solana stuff !!

its so hard to get a painting done these days ? ! I'm working on defining my non-painting style a lot more !! I think I've finally moved past the stage of hating this part of the process, don't hold it to me tho lmfao

also solana's dress here is from alessandro de benedetti's spring / summer show of 2004 !! if u remember my initial design for solana it was completely different, but I feel like this suits her so much more 🤍

❄️🌸 FEBRUARY POLL 🌸❄️

Hi everyone!! Hope you’re doing well, sorry for the lack of updates!! I’ll be seeing you more soon 💖 There weren’t many suggestions for the fanart this month, so we only have a couple to choose from!! i had the suggestions open for a while so anyone could add what they want ! I wanna make this patreon as worthwhile as possible, I’m still so grateful for all the support though, I just want it to be the best! So please if you have any suggestions let me know!! Feb is a short month so...

luna and solana heights

did a silly height chart with myself and my nan as references ^ w ^

solana painting - struggling on what composition to develop

technically I developed the first one last night, but the second one I drew is a bit closer to what I initially had in mind when thinking about this piece like a year ago 😭 what do you all think? 

rusty painting of solana

starting to colour this.....ooogh my old bones..... im so rusty ! I think I'm gonn go to bed before I get sliiiightly frustrated aha

also shading solana's tattoo on her forehead is gonna be tough! like I knew this when designing her but it looks cool ! 

opalite 💜

patron gift !! so fun to go back to my roots of SU fanart. I think last year was the last time I got any questions about drawing them, from like random people! Its crazy that people still watch those videos, with so many mistakes and issues with them 😭 but its apart of my journey so I can't even get mad.... Its not that I fell out with the show majorly, it just stopped bring interesting to me after a while, but I am so grateful for the amount of inspo it gave me. I will always be grateful ...

next painting - solana !!

hey so this will be the proper reward for January's Art request! The OC option won so, I will be painting my OC solana for this month ~~~ I've had this idea for so long, I reblogged the picture that inspired me such a long time ago, I'm glad I'm finally working on it ! pls look forward to it 😌💖

❄🌸❄🌸❄ February Request ❄🌸❄🌸❄

Hey everyone !! Hope your February has started well and that you've settled into 2022! If u haven't don't worry, everything will be fine !!

For my last art request poll you'll notice that I said I haven't fully given out all the rewards! Thats because I don't want to do just one sketch request for one whole month, I don't feel like thats enough! So I'm aiming to do a full piece every month that everyone has voted on !!

So as usual please let me know what you’d be interested in s...

oc sketches - Solana ☀

this is my OC Solana ! The OC option in the monthly art poll won for January so here is the sketches for that! This isn't the only reward related to this poll I will release though, its just that I've been busier than I thought this week ! I've got so much to share so see u soon 🥺🧡💛

mirabel + isa sketches

hi! sorry for the lack of updates this week, prep for this month has taken way longer than I thought. I've been doing warmups lately, to get me back into drawing and I did these two! Orignally it was just sketching but I ended up colouring it in photoshop at uni 🤢🤢🤢🤢 it was a mess I hated every minutr of it, blending is a huge pain 😭 anyways I'm just giving you all a lil update ! see u soon ~

imbue curls commission 💖🎀

This was the last fully rendered piece I did in 2021 ! I really did not draw last year at all, I was totally burned out I think thats crazy, I have so much more motivation now ! But yes this hair care brand reached out to me and asked for a commission of a mother doing her daughters  hair ! It was really fun at the time, I really wanted to make them seem really comfortable with one another and excited, I hope that came across well ! The position was really hard to translate into a full p...

bratz sweet treatz 🥰🍭🍨🍬

knight of flowers - process 💐🌺⚔

Ta da ! Heres the full process for the Knight of Flowers piece!! I actually used multiple softwares for this piece. When I say multiple I mean more than 1 - being PTS and Procreate. I used procreate for the background because there is a more variety of brushes there. I could probably get everything I needed if I used Clip Studio, I do have it. I bought it a couple years back when it was on sale and I did try it. If you've been a patron for a while you might remember ? But yes I'm slightly int...

January Poll Results !! OC's WON !

HI EVERYONE ! Sorry for the almost 10 days of silence, last week ended up being way busier than I thought, I thought I would have time last week so I could've made the poll longer, I totally apologise for that!! I'm so surprised that my OC art won ?? You guys should speak up more I didn't know you were all so interested ! Theres so much I could do with that! Also if your choice didn't win you can totally ask for it next month, don't worry, submit until u get it !! And you can suggest as many ...

sasha hair edit mini video ! 🍬

Hey so if you watched my bratz treatz speedpaint you would know I thought I didn't record when i redid sasha's hair - but it turns out I did. The file was in a temporary file place ! I felt bad that I didn't add it to the full speedpaint, so i rendered it and made a mini-vid here! I hope u enjoy it even if it is short...

Hey everyone !! January poll is here, I previously asked everyone to comment what they'd like to see from me this month for the art poll and I can't wait any longer so choose your picks!! You'll be able to vote for the next 7 days or so ! You can vote for as many options as you want just in case you can't deci...

assorted uni sketches

I toooootally forgot to post this, sorry guys! I was sitting here wondering why no one had interacted with this, like do they not care abt my uni work 😳😳😳 and then I checked my drafts 😅.

ANYWAYS, this Semester was uh....something... I focused a lot on too much conceptual work and not enough finished work. Anyways, here are the presentable sketches I did. 

The first one was for a magazine cover about Black Hair. I interviewed a Hairstylist friend of mine and we wer...

Knight of Flowers

Hi so this is the big baby who had me burnt out for months. Well.. you know what yeah I was burned out after this despite already being burnt out by University !!

This piece was for the classics but make it gay zine by Nova and Mali!! This piece took me so long it resulted in me going way past the deadline which we negotiated on a reduction in pay..... I COMPLETELY underestimated how long this would take me. I am NEVER EVER planning anything so grandiose so poorly ever again, especially...

dolores sketches

shes my fave girl from encanto !!!! i love her design and personality! this was supposed to be a warmup but i'm soooo rusty its crazy

sorry for the radio silence + requests reminder !!

Hi everyone I hope you had a good new year!! Sorry for the radio silence, my new year has started with Uni deadlines. There was an issue with my laptop which means I couldn’t complete all of my work so I’ve been battling with that for the last couple of days. I’m gonna have to travel to london to get some things back from the flat I’m staying in there because of my laptop dying (which defeats the whole point of travelling light with just my laptop 😭). But yeah, until I c...

January Request!!!

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Hi Everyone!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Hope you’re having good holidays!! As you may know I finally posted a PPG sketch from the last sketch poll — I wanted to do way more to it but I have some deadlines for uni I need to meet and I didn’t want to make you all wait any longer ! I was planning on being way more detailed but I figured I’d just post what I can till I can go all out on a drawing again!

Anywayssssss pleas...

power puff girls !!!

finally got chance to sketch them!! It was harder than I thought honestly, I didn’t really focus on their outfits too much but more so their personalities. buttercup was the hardest to draw bc i just couldn’t figure out her hair ?? But she looks cute like this. I wanna say theyre supposed to be triplets so i tried to keep their skintones similar and their eyes and noses ? Idk 😭 I hope you like them ! I will be doing monthly sketch requests for the forseeable future 😌😌

indigo + tomorrow woman

2 sketches for one of my £15 patrons! They pledged twice at once so they got two sketches! They served as good warm ups !

Hope you enjoyed your Christmas or Hanukkah if you celebrate though that was a couple weeks ago..! 💙💙💙

favourite experimental pieces

hi everyone thought I’d share some of the work i did this semester! Like I said its only some and only from one of the modules I did! This was the more experimental module so it was less in my style and more just for whatever brief we were given that day. I chose the module based on the workload, I knew it wouldn’t be as much in comparison to my other two modules…. At the time I didn’t feel challenged at all and that was my main issue. Though I’m glad it eased my workload like I had...

shinomitsu for love in lavendar 💜💖

Almost a full year after finishing this I finally got to post this publicly!! I still like this piece, though I can see some mistakes in it now - I really learned a lot. Its very summer-y I should’ve perhaps posted this in spring but I just can’t hold onto it any longer! Plus I wanted to post something for YouTube! Anyways I hope you like it 💖

BRATZ TREATZ 🍬 speedpaint + voiceover

ta-da ! ✨✨✨✨ here is the bratz treatz video, I would've made this available for you guys sooner but I have had literally, the worst week 😭. I had set aside last week for writing my final essay for the term, but my mom contracted covid and it had me way more stressed out than I thought ! My nan is also living with her at the moment so I was also worried for her wellbeing 😭 They're both fine luckily but literally all of last week was a blur I was not in the right frame of mind for...

voiceover stuff !

this is whats next on the list T T it was actually so daunting and I had to find a time where my flatmate wasn't in her room bc she would've heard everything ! I was so scared to do this before but after listening to my voice a few times I'm kind of used to it ?? I also did a poll on insta today and asked if people liked speedpaints with voiceovers or music - last time I checked voiceovers was winning ?????? I'm just so surprised but I guess maybe thats why my speedpaints went out of style if...
