Finally finished this girl! By the way, did you notice the watermark? I drew this little chibi of my OC. Consider it a tiny sneak peek of my character that I'm planning to properly draw soon.

Now I’m gonna take a little break and then jump right into a new design. It promises to be even cooler and juicier! 🍓🎨

Guys, I spent 12 hours straight on this, and she is finally here! Although I dragged it out for a long time, I never had the right mood to paint it.

Fun fact: this adopt was supposed to have a completely different vibe and aesthetic initially. If you look at the early drafts , it was giving edgy blood drips on a plain grey background. But at the very last second, my brain went: «Wait, let's completely scratch that and make her look absolutely... pupupu.»

Hey guys! I wanted to share a little sneak peek of my new work. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with different styles and directions. As you can see, I’m moving away from my usual cute vibes into something much more dark and moody! 🩸😈

It’s still a work in progress, but I promise the final result is going to be incredibly cool. I can't wait to show you the finished look! ~ 🖤

After a solid 5-month hiatus of absolute radio silence, I have finally crawled out of my cave! 🦖 I literally had to blow a century's worth of dust off my tablet just to check if my drawing paws had completely atrophied.

Spoiler alert: I'm alive, and the skills are still physics-defying! I genuinely think this version is way more atmospheric, which is a total miracle considering I haven’t touched my stylus the entire time (absolute witchcraft, I swear 🔮).

Initially, I really wanted to capture that creepy-cool marionette and playing card aesthetic—playing around with the contrast between the rigid checkered floor and the chaotic, messy flight of the cards. In the end, it birthed this dramatic little inner synopsis:

She dances to the rhythm of falling cards. A puppet tied by invisible strings, caught in a game she cannot win. Is she the player or just a pawn in this madness? 👁️

And for those who love digging for deep, hidden meanings (and to make myself look fancy), I wrote some Latin phrases on the ritual circle behind her:

«Ludus insanus sine victore» (Insane game without a winner) — yup, that exact game she’s doomed to lose🎭

«Persona non ludi, sed pignus» (Not a player, but a pawn) — sounds incredibly spooky, ritualistic, and... honestly, relatable♟️

«Charta cadit, vita fluit» (The card falls, life flows away) — a poetic nod to the dynamic flying cards (and the way my youth leaks away while I procrastinate) ⏳

I can't believe I won her! She is literally my absolute favorite character ever. Just look at this electric energy! 😭✨ Dropping a cute sketch for you guys too 🐮

I want to share something very personal with you today. This isn't just a manhwa recommendation. It's a story that I hold very dear to my heart. I recently spent an entire night reading it until 6 AM, unable to stop. When it ended, I felt like I had said goodbye to my own close friends.

Recently, manhwa has become something very personal to me. It's no longer just stories for the evening, but a way to experience other people's emotions, to think about pain, choice, and hope. About how much life can change if you give yourself a second chance ✨

📖 Marriage B: Wed to the Enemy

This manhwa hooked me with its heavy and lingering atmosphere. Koyou Louvye's story seems cruel from the very beginning. She loves a man who can never love her in return. Even after her sister's death, she receives only coldness, accusations, and silence.

Returning seven years in the past does not seem like a miracle here. It is simply a choice of another kind of pain. Koyou does not believe in happy endings and therefore marries the man who destroyed her family. And that is what makes the story particularly powerful. Because instead of the expected evil, she encounters kindness she does not trust and warmth she fears 💔

The manhwa is very emotional, sometimes painful, leaving behind a quiet sadness and long thoughts.

There are so many New Year's and holiday artworks in my feed right now that I decided not to be left behind. That's how the idea for a series. I wanted to make something warm, cozy, and a little bit magical. For me, these works are about care, attention, and the little joys we can give each other.

This series became a way for me to gently return to regular creativity.

And now, when there is so much holiday art in my feed, I suddenly realized that I also want to participate in this feeling of warmth. That's how the idea for a series of “gift” girls was born 🎁

A small, cozy project, just to please myself and you. At the moment, there are only two works, but there will be more ^^

During this time, there were many changes in my life. I cut my hair short and got bangs, and for some reason, this became a symbol of inner renewal. By the end of the year, I had achieved some important goals: I sold my first adoptions and found a good, high-paying job.

Not long ago, I felt very depressed and lost. It was hard to see other people's success, which is everywhere now. But over time, I realized that comparison only destroys. It is much more important to do your own thing at your own pace and be honest with yourself.

Now my life is gradually getting back on track, and I feel stable again, for which I am very grateful.

Another heartwarming event happened to me: I met one of my Twitter followers, and when it was her birthday, I drew her an illustration as a gift. It was incredibly pleasant and valuable to me. Moments like these remind me why I do all this in the first place 🤍
