Chelsea - just a taste...

Jun 14, 2024

Sharing treats with Chelsea and she asks to have just a taste of one of your sweets... You're probably just giving her the whole cannoli at this point :D

----

Something simple to get the ball rolling! June is my birthday month, so I felt like it'd be nice to do some self-indulgent piece(s), and Chelsea was and is one of my favorite OCs who hasn't been given much attention in a long while.
With a little luck, this won't be the only thing I finish this month either! Just a matter of picking what the next piece will be...

Buffalo Zine art showcase

Apr 26, 2021

Yep! I'm in a print magazine <3

Since I've got the go-ahead to publish my contributions to the magazine now, here you all go! I'll be spreading out the public posts over a short while I think, but this is the full lot in one shot here; from the cover art of Aya (there are seven different cover variants for this issue of the magazine, and Aya is one of the choices), to the five inserts, which are all double-page spreads within the magazine.

Physical 'zine is still on its way out, so I haven't gotten my hands on it yet, but I'm excited to be able to hold it in my hands and show it off a bit!

A fun project all in all; the theme of the magazine is "viral", and after a bit of bouncing around on ways to make the characters fit the fashion vibe (it is a fashion magazine after all), what we ended up settling on was this, a series of references to those sorts of machine-translated shirts you sometimes find with English text in non-English-speaking countries, similarly to how in the US and elsewhere, it's popular to stick random Japanese and Chinese characters on shirts. I tried to put a bit of a personal twist on each of the designs and to pick out quotes that seemed fitting for each of the characters to find and decide to wear, but bonus points if you can find the real-life clothes they all reference! :D

"forBitches" lookbook commission

Mar 17, 2021

Safe to post now, here's the finished pieces I was commissioned to do for the forBitches lookbook! Mimi, Amelia, and Chelsea all showing off the "bow bag" in the line, in some various colors. :D

What an interesting project to work on, I've done a few projects for the more fashion/aesthetic side of things, but this is my first lookbook contribution, I think? Certainly a fun experience. I must admit it still goes over my head a bit, why the more "weird" and fetishy stuff has fashion appeal now too - at least my 3D take on it - but I can't complain about having a wider audience than I'd expected!
