So happy to be shipping these girly pops to their new homes! I hope my customers like them.

I have plans to make one of Levaine because she will be exquisite in gold vinyl.

PS, we’re all playing #BL4 tonight again at twitch.tv/mintshiiarts Pop on by if you’d like to hang out!

Wip on a new #pngtubermodel for my character, Aneira. 🫶🏽 I wanted a fresh look for spooky season coming up and to share my recent interest in some alt fashions.

Live tonight at 6ish PM PST with @handsomemoi.bsky.social , Aracknitor & Sortaevil. Find us at twitch.tv/mintshiiarts if you’d like to hang out, even for a tiny bit! 🫶🏽

(Oh yeah, I made my character Aneira as a PNGtube model. She’s just vibing out in the bottom right corner.)

Updated the artwork a tad bit for some of my #destiny2 Guardian class stickers! The holographic vinyl is also now waterproof/weatherproof. I don’t know how but they’re even shinier than last time and I loveee it. Especially when any sort of light hits them in the right spot. ✨

Trying to draw with crayons again when I was flying back from Halifax was an interesting experience. Pretty fun, would do so again.

Not only did my very creative, amazing, and curagous QPP @mintshiiarts.bsky.social have an AWESOME Kickstarter for her comic Robust Heat, but she made the cutest goodies to go with it! The stickers are to die for, and I can’t get over how cute the polaroids are! SO PROUD OF YOU🩷🩵

Drew my OC, Daniel, in a tux on a page in my sketchbook. 🖤 This doubled as a Backer Reward (as a polaroid bookmark) for my latest KS campaign. Considering how this started out as just a doodle I love how it turned out!

Yesterday was the first time in about a week that I was able to work on art on the side! I wanted to do quick watercolour painting as a birthday gift for one of my friends. 🫶🏽 This is his #Destiny2 Hunter!

Thank you!! I’m trying to decide if I want to paint in their hair more opaque or not. I might gouache up the front bangs and leave the rest of the hair watercolour to fade into the BG a tad bit. I’m glad I saved it 😭

Kat Dela Cruz (she/her) @mintshiiarts.bsky.social · Dec 6

Just a cropped #wip #painting of my OC Isko done with #watercolours and #gouache . I worked on this on stream last night! Will be continuing tomorrow. ✨

A watercolour and gouache painting of a portrait. The person has rich brown skin, red eyeliner and dangling earrings. They are wearing a white barong and collared shirt with a green tie. They have wavy bangs and a ponytail.

Hang out while I work on some paintings! It feels a bit like plein air, but only because of the limited working space I subjected myself to. 😜
