Witchtober #1 - Night Magic 🔮🌙🪄 - Process

Hello Patrons 💜

Here’s the first Witchtober piece! This one is a bit more fantasy and mystical compared to the other witches I’ve done in the past! It’s inspired by a photo I took of my friend; Pooipikat in France when we visited a castle! 😊

I wanted to create a mystical night school for witches! I thought it would be nice to add some magical flare to the castle by adding some pink and purple glowy lights! 💜

Here’s the refer...

🍁🎃🍂 Hello October 🍁🎃🍂

Hello Patrons 🎃🍂

Fall season is officially here and I couldn’t be more excited! I celebrated my birthday last weekend and I had such a blast! 🥰 It was a little bittersweet saying goodbye to my 20s but I’m looking forward to what this new decade brings me! I’m officially joining the 30s club! 🫶🥹

For my birthday, I celebrated a nice dinner with all ...

Mystical Flower in Autumn Woods - Process

Hello Patrons 💕✨

Here's the process of my latest painting! And oh boy, this painting went through so many stages. I wanted to try out a new method of painting process by doing rough passes of the values and painting over it.  

It started out great at first, but I think I struggled a lot with figuring out the storytelling for this piece and how to visually show it. I also struggled with the palette since bright reds are something I'm not used to working w...

The Mystical Flower in Autumn Woods 🧚🪵 - Early Access

Hello Patrons 🧡

Here's a new fall piece! 🍂 I was inspired by vintage illustrations and wanted to create a story around an autumn fairy finding a mysterious flower in the woods! 🧚🪵 Where could the flower come from and who did it belong to? ✨

This piece has gone through so many colour changes because I'm not quite used to working with a lot of reds! 😥 I actually almost gave up on this painting ha-ha, but decided to push through!

I will post th...

Rainy Street ☔🍂 - Early Access

Hello Patrons! 🧡

Here’s my latest painting! I had so much fun painting this! 🥹🥹 It felt so long since I took the time to get lost in the concept and details of the background. I had so much fun creating architectural elements that would fit into this cozy village surrounded by dragons.

The idea for this painting is humans and dragons cohabit in this village together. The streets are enveloped by a wispy fog and illuminated by shop displays. While the we...

🍂 Fall Painting - Work in Progress 🍂

Hello Patrons 🍂

How are you doing? 😊

I'm taking a bit of a break from client work at the moment, so I'm taking more time developing my next piece! I started working on the fall painting (I don't have a title for this piece yet!)  🍁

For the character, I wanted to create an interaction between a creature/animal.  🐉

I usually like to create a separate file to develop my character. The first two sketches are quite loo...

Hello Patrons

Here’s the process for Botanic Library!

Here’s the comparison from the painting from 2019 to now!

This palette was quite a challenge since I’m not used to working with a lot of deep green in my painting so I had to find a nice balance of not making it too sickly green or ghostbusters green haha!

Adding two types of lighting to th...

Botanical Library 📗🌿 - Early Access

Hello Patrons!

Here's my latest painting! This one was quite challenging due to the colour palette! I find working with neon greens a little difficult! Sometimes, it's better to finish it than obsessing over the mistakes so I think I will call it done for now! 😅😅 I might come back to this tomorrow and fix some minor things!
