Sketches + updates

Hello! ^w^

I wanted to give you an update since I haven't posted in a few weeks D:

First of all, thank you all again for your patience, love and support! 

I've almost finished my commissions, although I still lack a bit of energy, I've been a bit more calm lately and I've been able to work more constantly :D Anxiety has not been a problem recently, which is nice! I just delivered my second-to-last commission and I'll deliver the last one tonight <3

I've bee...

Hi everyone! ^w^

Right now I'm working on commissions as I'm a bit delayed, but as soon as I finish them, I'll go back to the usual :D

So, I already had this thing in mind. I'd love to make a small animation with this text, but it would probably take me forever because I've never tried animating in anime style (I'm pretty sure I can, but animation is really, reaaaaally hard and it takes a lot of time and effort, I've made animations in other styles, but always as part of a team)...

The next and final part of this sequence, I'll add the little text in the final color ^w^

I've been dealing with a lot of things lately, mainly because of anxiety as I said in another post, so I spend a few days relaxing and to this day I'm trying not to overexcert myself, but I'm feeling better now so I'll be posting more frequently :D Thank you all for your support and for your patience <3 I really appreciate it! And I hope you like this one x) I still have my other projects pendi...

I don't understand

Avelyn a few months into her transition ^w^

I decided to take a break from the secuence I was working on because I've only done half of the lineart and it will take me around another week or two to finish it, so in the meantime I made this drawing that will have the sentence I wrote up there and in the background some of the issues we have to face as transgender people, like wh...

Pride - Intersexuality

I wasn't able to finish this for the pride month for several reasons, mainly that my old tablet was having a lot of issues TTnTT I already had part of the lineart, and I just got a new tablet a few days ago and finally I was able to finish this! (Also I was working on a couple commissions, so it took me a bit longer xD) but pride should be celebrated all year anyway, so It's fine -u-


So, she's Valerie, the last of my 5 main OCs. She's an intersexual woman with complete androg...

July is here with new ideas!

Hi my dear friends! :D

First of all, thank you again for your support! :')

I'm really happy and excited to continue working on my projects ^^My third pride drawing got delayed because my tablet has been acting weird lately (I hope I can replace it soon!) and also I had headaches this week and couldn't do much :'( But I'm working on it now and should be done in a couple days!

After that and a couple commissions I have, I'll work on three minicomics, and I'm sure you'll love...

My drawings through the years

My beloved friends <3 I've received a lot of comments from people saying that my art is beautiful and they want to draw like me, and I'm really flattered and happy, but there are two things I want to say, and is that I didn't always drew like I do now, and that I know there are many things to improve yet. There are artist who make drawings way better than mine, truly beautiful pieces, and I'm just talking about anime styled drawings, because I'm nothing compared to painters, 3D artist, scu...

Good Morning

This is a drawing I made about 2 years ago, but I never published anywhere, so you're the first ones to actually see it! Thank you all for your support! <3 Right now I'm working on commissions, but soon I'll have new drawings :) In the mean time, I hope you like it! She's one of my OCs, Giselle Strangelet. I'm planning on redrawing this one soon!

Pride Month - Trans & Lesbian

Finally, here it is!

(I spent the whole night finishing the color, and it's possible I make a few very (very) minor changes after waking up if my refreshed self sees something that doesn't look good, but any small changes would be barely noticeable x) )

A bit late, but this is my first drawing for the pride month. Also I have planned one for bisexual & intersexual, one for demisexual & pansexual and if I have enough time, maybe I'll do one for my first trans man characte...

Pride Month Pt. 1 - Trans & Lesbian (Lineart)

So... I guess it now looks a lot more detailed? xD

Next step, color! And after that, I'll publish it ^^ (You may see it first here, tho)

Pride Month Pt. 1 - Trans & Lesbian (Sketch)

First of all, thanks a lot to my wonderful patrons! This is my first publication after my very first supporters! <3 

So, this is what a kinda "quick" sketch looks like ^^ It's a bit far from the final result as it needs cleaning, corrections and a few more details, but this is just to have a general idea before doing a more precise linework

This is the first of three drawings with my characters celebrating this pride month, a bit late, but better late than never!  View Post

Avelyn's transition sketches

While working on my child's design, I made these sketches to have a better idea of how she should look and her progress trough time. 

I'll make drawins based on these to have a timeline of her transition, and of course this serves me as guide for when I'm drawing her (So far, I've drawn her at 16 in "As if I didn't know already", 16 with Elizabeth's help in "The day you got to know me" and "The first time I saw myself in the mirror" and at 21 in "Don't wake me up from this dream" a...

As if I didn't know already / Don't wake me up from this dream

"When I met you, I didn’t think you’d become special to me. I just wanted to be a good person and help someone who needed it.

You were sitting on a bench, crying because they made you want to die. And I just couldn’t understand what your parents had to do to make you so sad. I couldn’t leave you there. I didn’t fully understand how you were feeling, but I was sure that you needed to change, both yourself and the people around you.

I offered you my hand. I also needed a f...

The first time I saw myself in the mirror

"I hid for so long, eager to be found, afraid that I would be alone forever behind a mask of lies and sadness, pretending to be someone I’m not just so others wouldn’t judge me.

And I hated it, I hated my voice and my body, it was kind of a torture living with them. I was tired of looking into mirrors just to see a stranger cry. I hated the idea that people would never see a girl when they looked at me. I was afraid of what they would see instead.

But then you found me when I ...
