I wanted to illustrate her just ābeing happyā! She deserves it!
I love the scene where Mitsuki and Mirai share a sweet, and after being inspired by her Valentineās art I knew how I wanted this to look! āØš

Because of certain aspects of my childhood and my time at school, I have a good time putting in effort when I do well in classes, but if I don't seem to grab the logic of a certain class to soon I usually end up blocked, not being able to put any thought to it, discarding it instead to explore other classes where I exc...

Had this amazing 7 hours over 3 days working on this, and I loved every minute of it, except when Procreate started crashing like crazy at the end!
Here's a timelapse!

Itās been how long since Iāve done an illustration with a background that wasnāt a commission?
2020-08-26 18:25:35 +0000 UTC View PostHey there! It's currently 11:40am of the 18th of July, I've been alone at my apartment the last few days as all my roommates went back home to their families to spend the second batch of total quarantine together, and I LOVE having all this space to myself, I'm spending less time closed up in my room, a lot more time out in the balcony and haven't used headphones in days!
I've been thinking a lot about having my own place in the future, I'm in no position to do a jump like that, but It'...

This piece was commissioned by @GundamPodcast (both on Twitter and Instagram) and its easily the biggest piece Iāve worked on EVER!
Iām really grateful on them for trusting me with this process. š
Itās the first time I work on a commission (or art in general) with this kind of process, how did it turn out? Iām really happy with the result but being the first of many to come Iām also anxious for the development! šš
If youāre into mechs/Gundam, check their...

If youāve heard from my Twitter, Iām taking a break! I havenāt been working on commissions today and wonāt for the weekend and have told myself to relax and take a step back. Today I grabbed my iPad and without even finding a table I just started sketching out and itās not an experience Iāve had in a while since Iām usually burn out from drawing for commissions, hopefully this will become an habit š

So, Iām loving this illustration, but Iāve worked on it for two days now and I need to put work into commissions, so Iām throwing it into Patreon for now and Iāll probably finish it after commissions!

I love these kind of images where itās kind of everything blending into paper, and there being a second plane inside the paper where itās a whole new world, usually with the sky and plants, so after seeing a cute minimalist home video, I drew this inspired from it, I really liked playing around with colors!
I havenāt worked with perspective like this since high school and not having rulers made this even more difficult, but I would love to improve on this area and do more of them!...

My roommates have been trying to get me to play Paladins and while the game has a great ton of issues from bugs to stability issues, some characters and skins are just LOVELY!
Iāve been playing lots of Maeve, her speed and ability reminds me of the kind of characters I play in fighting games and MOBAās instead of the ones I usually play in FPSs, playing a mobile glass cannon instead of a slow one hit kill sniper, but I love it!
The stun abilities in this game are some of the w...

If you're reading this you probably know who I am (since these blogs are in a paywalled Patreon, whoops), but since this is the first blog entry I'm writing I feel like I should introduce myself!
I'm Lily Mirai, I'm a 23 years old trans woman, artist and student from Chile, I'm currently in college for a degree in Programming! I'm really into tea, coffee, cooking, organization, habits, art and music! You either probably know me for my art, but I've also got recognized o...

This piece was commissioned by @GreatSwordNH on Twitter! I really liked working on it! Drawing MLP characters is super lovely, and I'm really proud of how this commission turned out!
Enjoy these full resolution A3 images!
Had an hour between lunch and a class, so I went to sketch a Neeko, after remembering I got some colored pencils and how vibrant Neeko is I couldnāt resist coloring it!
I donāt know if I should clean it up, I usually mess hands on paper and having it like this gives me some leeway around them š

I really have been enjoying the Sonic the Hedgehog IDW comics and I LOVE the original characters it's team have created!
Lately I've been really enjoying Tangle's and Whisper's relationship!
One of my favorite character tropes is when one character who's usually shy and coded as an introvert is made stronger and pushed forward by a character that's coded as a happy-go-lucky high energy extrovert!
It's no secret that in my own headcannon of these characters I believe Tangle is a lesbi...
Etsuko seems pretty embarrassed about something, what is she on to? š®
Low effort illustration with a background! A good practice for colors and lighting from behind the character and into the camera!
Went for an Animal Crossing-esque look on here, Iām sorry for the low quality, I drew her on a screen size canvas on the edge of the canvas nksfkjsfjjsf
Revisiting this piece later makes me realize how much depth her right arm lost just because of the angle the end seems to be in... :thinking:
I took a photo of myself and tried to draw it! It was a a great help for practicing rendering light over skin, I really like my results on skin, but I kinda donāt like how it looks the shorts š

Here she is! On full res glory! I still havenāt found a name for her yet, Iām starting to feel like Iāll just use my flower theme and go from there, but I cannot name her either Lily or Hibiscus, so this makes things complicated š¤

This icon was commissioned by @trans_parenting over at Twitter.
From all my icon commissions this is the one I like the most!
EDIT (29/06): This is still the prettiest icon I've drawn, in my opinion.
This was commissioned by @A_Ashamed over on Twitter!
She was super fun to work on, the pose, the colors, itās my first time dipping my toes into drawing MLP stuff and Iām loving it!

There will be spoilers for RWBY!
So, if youāve seen RWBY, youāve probably seen the horrible death that Penny Polendina suffered, and if you know me, youād know that sheās just the kind of character I ADORE, super well intentioned, good friends, innocent, smile of an angel, and god her death depressed me. Now, in the new Season sheās back! And god that made me jump off my bed the day I saw her appear in screen! So, hereās a drawing to celebrate that sheās back! š

Full resolution (3508x4386) file of the commission for @sewfye and @KonzzyKon on Twitter!
I really enjoyed drawing this one, a friend had long ago gifted me Hollow Knight but I never found the time to play it, and after this commission was ordered, the reference material was BEAUTIFUL.
After doing the sketch, I felt I wasn't doing it justice, and couldn't bring myself to touch it for a while, it felt like since the sketch was so far away from a decent looking thing the task of bringi...
