The Two of Cups - a relationship between equals; collaboration, truce, attraction
so i entirely forgot to post this to tumblr for a solid 3 months, but this is my finished illustration for @newmannanthology! part of what draws me to this ship is the idea of these two, despite their squabbles, having only each other to lean on while facing down the end of the world. i think they had their heartfelt moments... when nobody else was around to see. still so proud to be part of this project <3
went and digitally redid an old ink drawing, both to warm up and because my soul indelibly craves green things. HK is cute as hell and also supremely in my aesthetic wheelhouse, i need to draw it more
i had a dream that i fell in love with someone over the course of ten days, and then i woke up and left them i felt bad enough about it to sketch a little portrait
with my first semester as an art major just about over, i feel like it’s appropriate to document the highlights of what’s been keeping me from drawing cute animals and gay shit my technical progress! lotta charcoal, lotta forcing myself to think ahead and work with precision. it was nice to have a slight leg up with the skills and knowledge i already had, but there’s still a lot i have to work on too.
a lil preview of my illustration for the @newmannanthology zine! i went pretty ambitious with this piece and i’m excited to show it off to the world. look forward to preorders, this zine is gonna be a beast!!!
two of hearts two hearts that beat as one ~
ok, so this was a submission for the @sfwnewmannfest but that was a month ago, so mea culpa. in my defense picking a palette for this was a nightmare! the prompt i received was ‘talking on the phone’ and i decided to take it into full stylization territory.
i watch a lot of lttp randomizer races while i sketch traditionally, and link to the past is a dang beautiful game. felt only fair to warm up sometime with some of its background assets.

ok, everybody and their mom is posting process gifs now, so i wrestled with CSP to show the process behind my Two of Wands! i also haven’t really talked super in-depth about the process and inspirations on my card, so it’s behind the scenes time under the cut.
and here’s my other contribution to @pacificarcana -- the tracker for our kickstarter campaign’s stretch goals, featuring Newt, Liwen, and a whole bunch of imagery from the deck’s design and symbolism!
check out the project and its campaign (and hopefully see this bar fill up to the top) here!

what i’ve been up to for the past year, in no particular order:
all this to say i’ve missed 2d art and i’m finally in a place where i can get back to it, so expect to see some stuff in the near future. hopefully y’all don’t find me to be too rusty.
