Had to do a quick drawing project when this showed up on my timehop today. Her boob window came from Ingrid’s original FHV uniform from Nikkei Some other similarly toned Ingrids
Nikkei
comforting nostalgia (mostly)
Hi! December has been flying by, and I got really sick which is really stressful. So most of the energy I’ve been putting into art has been into nostalgia, not really breaking any comfort zones or anything. So then a few weeks ago I fell down the Nikkei rabbit hole because as soon as I […]
more dailies!
Obviously since I’m doing this daily drawing project…you know, daily, most of the time it’s been all I’ve done that day. And while I probably didn’t fully take advantage of my time at home as much in terms of art (I was, admittedly, a bit busy with finally celebrating my pregnancy *very late*, and midterms, […]
page 50
Well, the time has come! I just completed the 50th page of Dumping a Dragon. To celebrate, I thought I’d pull out my shelf of self-written manga and go on a walk through the 50th page of my other stories! :3 Nostalgia, here we come! Ah, but first, a spontaneous group photo of me and […]
marker drawings of old people
And by old, of course, I mean my old-ass Nikkei characters. Last night as I was sketching out ideas for full digital drawings, I suddenly decided to draw Myoku and Nikkei together. Then, I went on Amazon and bought a huge set of alcohol-based Copic marker knockoffs for $40. So I purposely held out on […]
half a lifetime ago
I can’t believe it’s been 13 years since Cinnamin died, and since I wrote Nikkei. That’s literally half my lifetime ago. There are a lot of things about my life that have changed but in a big part I’m still very much the same dopey, nostalgic, passionate, artsy little nerd I’ve always been. A […]
various and sundry doodles
My time off from work so far hasn’t given me quite as much room for creative springing as I would have hoped. I’ve done a few things and have a few others in the works, but this is still the first year that having free time hasn’t meant automatically a huge influx of art. this […]
Nikkei
So I must have seen the date on my phone and I jumped because suddenly it’s that date I’ve been recognizing since I was an overly dramatic 13-year-old girl writing her first graphic novel. And since I just finished a project, that classic old nostalgia’s flooding in. In fact, it’s a little funny this year […]
bunches and bunches!
Okay, since I’m angry at myself for interrupting my writing flow to write in here, I’m going to be succinct. My new project’s going GREAT — I just hit 30 pages (ds). Because of all the parts of my own life I’m putting into it, it’s essentially writing itself. At the rate I’m going, it’s […]
girls with flowers
whoa, wordpress facelift! all right then. i can deal. anyway, was sketching. find myself repulsed by the idea of penning/colored penciling things, so in this case i settled for a pencil sketch with digital colors /lazy i decided that lucienne, cirrus and ingrid would really get along. it wasn’t until was contemplating coloring this that […]
