My BG3 Character, Myst <3

Drawn with my tablet

Drawn on my phone!

Notice:

Today's MerMay has been postponed due to technical difficulties

(the cool journal I decided to use for this does not actually have watercolor paper and I'm too emotionally devastated by the damage I've done to the page I was working on to fix the mess I've made right now)

I'll try to get it posted tomorrow, along with the next one, but we'll see how that goes!

In the meanwhile, here's a picture of said cool journal I've been using. Pretty fun to work in, tragic limitations aside

First Swim

Our MerMay Story, Day 1

Sometimes I wonder who taught me how to swim. I like to imagine there was someone, once. Their steady hands guiding me as I flailed through the water... I can't remember them, no matter how hard I try. I wonder if they're still out there, somewhere...

---------------------------------------

I'm hoping to keep up with this event through the whole month, with fanart and writing for Aquaria each day. The story I tell isn't likely to be linear, more a bunch of little slices of Naija's life or thoughts at different points of time

I'm going to be drawing each day's work in a neat journal I was given as a gift a couple months ago, it's meant to have an old and weathered look!

Homestuck x Infinity Nikki fanart, once again!

This one's kinda rough, but I've thought for a while that the floating outfit would be a great fit for June (blue & gold, floaty, even has a little bit of a rabbit motif!), and I wanted to draw her in it for the special occasion ^^

Hi rhyme you like silk song right

Yeah!!

Hornet is my blorbo & comfort character of all time, and my go-to to doodle when I want to draw but don't have any ideas. I love her with my whole entire heart and soul.

I have a tradition of writing myself time capsule letters on my birthday, so every year I respond to a letter from Last Year's Me and write one to Next Year's Me. Every year since I started the tradition I've asked myself if I've gotten to play Silksong yet, and it'd be really cool if next year I'll get to say yes!

Here's some sketches of Hornet from a couple weeks ago, I was playing around with some ideas to try and make a gijinka design I like. Haven't really arrived at one yet, but I figured I'd share them for the occasion ^^

To honor April Fools / my birthday, I've drawn myself a foolsona :3

doodles of some of the outfits I've put together

I was struck with the desire to dress up Homestuck characters in outfits from Infinity Nikki, so here's Jade in "Jade Dreams" and Rose in "Spectral Mist"

felt like drawing sone doll-joints, so here's some pixel-doodles

moment i liked from episode 11

I drew this last December, but didn't even remember to take a picture of it.

This is a redraw of two of my favorite homestuck panels! I really enjoyed working with the colors and focusing on the direction / flow of my lines.

Drawing of my current favorite outfit I've put together in Infinity Nikki! Continuing to get used to using an art tablet, I like how this actually came out pretty close to my regular traditional style.

Reference below the readmore

Here's some art of my sona I drew back at the start of January! I wanted to practice their design and experiment with style, see if I could get them properly ghost-looking.

I tried to keep the lines loose and not connected to make them look less solid, I might try and push that a bit further next time I draw like this. It was fun to try ^^

Just got got to the episodes of Evangelion where Asuka shows up, so here's some drawings of the silly

Isha sketches from a little while back that I don't think I'll finish

i kept forgetting to post these Roxy sketches from the end of December, here they are! I wanted to draw them all godtiered :D

I remembered I have a drawing tablet, so here's some Jinxes (+ alt. Powder) I drew to test out some different brushes! I find it funny how differently the styles came out.

I just finished watching Arcane for the first time, so here's a page of Jinxes!!!

I just wanted to draw her in a pretty dress

it's been too long since the last fanart I drew for Aquaria, so here's a thing I made in MS paint!

Got a new dress in FFXIV and immedietly had to draw it, so have a pixel-sketchy thing ^^

FFXIV doodles

I started playing Final Fantasy 14 a week ago, here's some scribbles I made of my character Rosliet starting her adventure :D (+ a screenshot of her in game for referene)

Since then she's become a level 30 Arcanist, carbuncle is her best friend

I've had a lot of thoughts about Rosliet since I made her, at some point I want to do a more polished drawing of her and talk more about what I've come up with for her character ^^

I've included an early game screenshot of Rosliet below the readmore, for if anyone wants to know what she looks like in game!

New Flowers

(Process rambling below the readmore)

When I first started on this series of illustrations for Aquaria, I'd originally planned for the Kelp Forest to be the first thing I'd draw, since it's possibly my favorite area in the game. I came up with all these ambitious plans for a 2-page spread with as many creatures from the kelp forest as I could fit included, but then I got stuck actually trying to implement them all. I decided to put aside the Kelp Forest for later, and started with a simpler illustration instead.

I came back to the Kelp Forest last week with this new batch of thumbnails, this time much smaller in scale since I wanted to get it done before the end of the year. I'm honestly not entirely happy with the end result, so I might take another shot at this next year if I get the time.

The Veil

here's a bunch of the thumbnails I made for this one! It took me a little while to decide between above the water VS underwater, but I knew I wanted to focus on the sun and the surface of the ocean. I felt like I had a clearer idea for underwater with the corals, so that's the one I went with. I'd like to revisit some of these other concepts some day

"Her gaze penetrated my soul, and though she did not speak…

I could hear her words echoing inside my head, as clear as the waters around me…

… It was beautiful."

- Naija, Aquaria (2007)

reference screenshots :D

I got an art tablet recently! I've been playing Slime Rancher a lot lately and think Bea is really cute, so I drew her some to practice!

In the ruins of Mithalas

Here's some of the sketches I did for this concept! I really love the whole atmosphere of Mithalas, I came up with a bunch of ideas that I might revisit some time in the future.

The final painting was mostly made traditionally, but with some changes in post to try and get the lighting effects closer to how I wanted them.

here's some of my main screenshots I used for reference!

Aquaria Fanart

I wanted to attempt a 2 page spread! Turns out that makes it a lot harder to take good pictures, but I really like how it looks when I open my sketchbook to that page :D

I was thinking of adding in some jellyfish with acrylic paint but didn't end up getting around to that, alas.

Missed the day of, but I wanted to draw something for the Lalonde birthday cause I love them

bonus version from before i added the background squiggles

i'm kinda tired right now, but wanted to make something for Dave's bday too! so here's a Wigglypaint.
