Digital character lineup featuring my ocs from a personal project. From left to right: there's Eden (a human girl with a paranormal shirt), Claude (purple demon with office clothes), Demir (red demon with rocker attire and a guitar), Juni (green demon wearing biker attire and holding her motorcycle helmet), Serilda (blue demon wearing cozy shop attire and holding a potted plant), and Scol (red centipede demon nervously fidgeting to himself)

Digital illustration featuring three of my ocs from a personal project. The setting is a very messy kitchen, covered with food splatters, scratches, and paw prints on the walls. The human girl, Eden, is on the counter watching her pet Cerberus, Berry, run off with a meat drumstick in one of her mouths. The purple demon dad, Claude, is skidding on the floor, chasing Berry down while holding a bowl of food he was supposedly mixing.

Digital illustration featuring bug people partying underneath a field a of flowers while petals are showering down around them. The focus is a lesbian bug girl couple happily dancing together, while there's one group eating berries, one consisting of children just talking and having fun amongst themselves, and another couple sitting on one of the flowers conversing with each other in the background.

Digital illustration featuring characters from Dungeon Meshi. In the center we're shown the scorpion hot pot from the first episode. Surrounding it is Laios (who's excited to eat), Marcille (looking nervous and scanning the area behind her), Chilchuck (who's skeptical about the food), and Senshi (who's already taste-testing it). Unbeknownst to them, there's a 5th guest behind the group, the Red Dragon, who's not shown in the light and instead more hidden in the shadows.

(2/2) there were definitely things that did not age well from the games but i still had fond memories of experiencing them (esp the soundtrack) and participating in a lot of zines 🥹

Digital illustration featuring Junko from Danganronpa. She’s shown sitting in a black background, smirking in a direction. She’s colored in all pinks and has sparkles surrounding her.

Digital illustration featuring Komaeda from Danganronpa. He’s shown standing outside, presumably on a beach, as he’s wearing his beachwear from Danganronpa S. He’s holding a tropical drink as he smiles at the viewer.

Digital illustration featuring Kaede and Shuichi from Danganronpa. They’re shown floating on a flat pink background surrounded by little colorful stars, dots, and music notes. The two are holding hands as Kaede is smiling (almost looks like as if he’s pulling him up) and Shuichi is looking upwards at her, blushing.

felt like digging through old art since danganronpa’s getting talked about again and yeaaa you could say i was obsessed with this game haha (1/2)

Digital illustration featuring Danganronpa V3 characters: Kaede, Shuichi, Kiibo, Maki, and Kaito. All 5 of them are in a blue lit karaoke room, with spinning colorful lights and TVs featuring a captioned song with the Monokubs dancing. Kaede, Shuichi, and Kiibo are in the foreground, standing on top of a table and singing their hearts out. Meanwhile Maki and Kaito watch from the seats, with Maki smiling and Kaito cheering them on.

Digital illustration featuring Kaito Momota from Danganronpa V3. He’s carrying a pot of purple flowers as he smiles and notices messages from Shuichi and Maki on his laptop. He’s also wearing a bright orange astronaut suit and standing in a greenhouse-type room, with a messy desk in front of him and a shelved collection of flowers behind, which all seem to correlate to different V3 students.

Digital illustration featuring Gundham, Ryoma, and Gonta from Danganronpa. The setting is sunset outside of a school, with Gundham in the foreground. He’s blushing happily as he’s holding a beetle on his finger, while Gonta holds Gundham’s hamsters on his shoulders and Ryoma’s own cat on his head.

Digital illustration featuring Kiibo from Danganronpa. It shows Kiibo in a fighting pose as he points one of his arm cannons, about to fire a laser.

The background is a solid green shade, while the boarder around the figurines are a quilt pattern with different symbols on each rectangle.
