Lady Madonna (children at her feet) (🍷🐟🔪)
A colorful illustration that is split into two panels, divided by a gold border decorated by intricate flower/star tiles. In the left panel, a young woman in a cheerleading-style outfit kneels over a table-side bench. Her head is bowed submissively under the gaze a regal woman sitting on the table in front. The regal woman is dressed in a fancy corset decorate with floral patterns and wears a metal flower crown/elaborate headdress like a Mesopotamian queen. To her right, an older black woman wearing just a head covering points at her, her body seen from within a gold frame superimposed on the scene. Above them is a pomegranate tree, and behind a distant landscape with a castle. On the table is a plate with a fish, a goblet of wine, and a letter-opener stuck into the table, pinning a blank sheet of paper. In the right panel, a group of school girls in matching uniforms explore a mysterious manor hallway. One pair stands in a back room with a mirror, from which a ghostly woman observes them under a pentagram halo. The other pair, just outside the room's entrance in the more illuminated hallway crouches down together looking just past a curtain in the corner where we cannot see, which is partially concealing a painting of the Madonna. As one girl points at the bottom floor beyond and grabs the arm of her partner, a pool of wine-red liquid oozes out from behind the curtain.

So happy to be back with season 2 of my comfort show Frieren- her recent meme fame aside, its a delight to marvel at how consistently masterfully drawn, animated, and art directed this show is :')
A POV camera shot from Sousou no Frieren. Fern is sitting in her chair, admiring a silver lotus bracelet on her left wrist.

Red and blue and Madonna
Procreate screen capture of an in progress artwork done in blue pencils (background) and red pencils (figures). The composition is split into two panels. In the left panel, a young woman crouches over a table bench, her head bowed almost submissively under the gaze a regal woman dressed in a fancy corset and metal flower crown sitting on a table, while an older woman wearing just a head covering points at her from within a frame superimposed on the scene. Above them in a pomegranate tree and behind a distant landscape with a castle. In the right panel, a group of school girls in matching uniforms explore a mysterious manor hallway. One pair is in a back room with a mirror, from which a ghostly observes them. The other pair just outside the room entrance in the hallway is crouched down looking at a curtain in the corner partially concealing a painting of the Madonna. One girl is pointing at the bottom floor, obscured by the curtain, but from which a pool of liquid oozes out.

Happy New Year!!! Cheers if you're ringing it in with dancing wherever you are. And if you're laying down too :')
A colorful imaginary print fragarence ad featuring a dancer drawn in three poses- standing, bending, and squatting with a vertical leg lift. Each pose is also dressed in a different fancy costume/cocktail dress. Each pose of the dancer is accompanied by an ornate perfume bottle- one is a glass bottle decorated with eyes, another is in the shape of the moon, and the final third has moon and star decorations with a fox/cat ornament as the stopper. In the lower right corner, an elegant trans woman (you can see her adams apple) is getting dolled up an applying vivid red lip gloss. In letters tumbling down the top in the center is the text "SATURDAY NIGHT". Small text to the right says "fragancia para la mujer / soy la BREAKOUT". At the top left is a stamp: "花木"

OCs are so new they don't even have locked-in names yet, but it's been super fun getting creative like this for the first time in my illustration career :')

A graphic novel idea for all the magic girls!
A vibrantly colorful graphic novel cover titled "Year of the Cat" Book 1: The Third Sword, with the text set stylish hand-lettering and a fun-soft script font. The main image shows three magic-girl style protagonists, two wielding cool swords and one a heart-carved battle axe as they pose around a mysterious cluster of giant, overgrown and weathered stone jars and boulders. A cut cat is by each girl. At the bottom is a mysterious floating rock-and-green-gem structure surrounded by staked old swords. There is also a spread out blanket with an offering table set on top. The setting appears post-apocalyptic, with an overgrown electrical pole, mailbox, and lifted up landscaping in the scene. At the top of the cover are a row of close up headshots of the three girls showing their different hair colors, jewelry and styles.

Enjoyed Christmas Eve day by going out for pizza with the family and working on pencils for new projects!
Screen capture of a pencil drawing in Procreate of an in progress comic cover titled "Year of the Cat" No. 1 in stylish lettering. Three magical-girl style protagonists armed with cool swords and a heart-carved battle axe pose around a mysterious cluster of giant carved-stone jars and a boulder over a floating rock structure are in what appears to be a post-apocalyptic setting with an overgrown electrical pole hanging over the scene. At the top of the cover are a row of close up fun headshots of the three girls. Screen capture of a pencil sketch in Procreate. The sketch is of an imaginary print perfume ad featuring a dancer drawn in three poses- standing, crouched, and with a vertical leg lift. Each pose is accompanied by an ornate perfume bottle. In the lower right corner, an elegant trans woman (you can see her adams apple) is getting dolled up an applying mascara, but the sketch isn't super clear just yet.

Kicking off being back home for the holidays with one of my all-time favs. I love Lady Eboshi, and how her community is shown as strong, caring, complex, flawed, but ultimately optimistic.

Sappho went to the Frick (and seen the Islands of Man)
A digital illustration of a group of woman observing a levitating, angelic figure within a ruined courtyard setting of Greco-Roman columns around an overgrown fountain that resembles the atrium of the Frick Museum in NYC. It is falling dusk, and the scene is colored in a dimming purple, sunsetting haze. The angelic figure is a trans man with long red hair and top scars bearing a torn out heart and a halo of guts. He floats by a living bronze statue of another angel mounted ontop of the fountain with hands clasped in prayer. From behind a column closer to us, a mysterious trans woman with one glowing eye dressed in a modern dress and cardigan and a moon halo over her head observes us while holding onto a crystal cane. In the middle, under the promenade of collapsing marble, a group of three woman look out at the angel - one seated who I imagine like the poet Sappho, her attendant raising an ornate fan, and another modernly dressed trans woman with devil horns. At the right, one woman walks away carrying a bloodied bag dripping over her dress, while at the furthest wall to the right sits a woman playing a Bull-Head Lyre such as one found from the Royal Tombs of Ur in modern day Iraq. These two woman are also dressed in regal Mesopotamian garb. There is no indication outside of the columns and doors of the courtyard of where we are, or what time or space this is. Standing on ground level, we are simply among women.

Gazing 🌸
Screen capture of an in progress line art drawing in Procreate. A group of three women are gazing out from an opening in between columns. Two women are dressed regally in ancient Greco-Roman style costume, with one seated holding a flower and the other, her attendant, standing above lifting a fan in a gesture of grabbing attention. The third younger woman stands behind, on the right, and is dressed in a modern puffy sleeve blouse, skirt with a bow on the back and sneakers. Who they're looking at has yet to be inked in.

Hey #portfolioday! I'm a #KidLit book designer by day and an illustrator by rest-of-the-day savoring any chance they can get to make personal art :') Love drawing lots of details, academic art, and costumed ladies ✨
A vibrantly colorful digital illustration of Kouyou, Kyouka, her Demon Snow avatar, and Yosano from Bungo Stray Dogs drawn as the regal beauties in traditional Chinese femme costume after the painting "Lingering Melodies from the Xunyang River" by Chen Yifei. The additional background is also very ornate, with a mother-of-pearl inlaid cabinet topped with a golden portrait of a woman based on a Singer Sargent painting. There is a richly decorated Islamic-floral motif style tile pattern runs across the top of the scene. Yosano is holding a fan that says "Rattle, Rattle, Rattle!" Kyouka is sitting on the floor petting the head of a white cat, and instead of the rabbit charm she wears around her neck, is wearing a dragon charm that looks like a certain wizzard lizzard. The colors are primarily pink, blue, white and red. Yosano's outfit is decorated in a way that suggested the Trans Pride flag. She has an added mole to the right side of her face. A super detailed digital illustration showing an interior courtyard scene based off of the architecture of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s courtyard arches and ornament, broken up into different sections arranged in non-linear and isometric perspective (sort of in the tradition of Persian and SE Asian miniature painting). Various femme human figures of different sizes and colors (natural white and brown skin tones but also colored blue and red) are scattered around this space- they are all based off of women from different paintings within the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and Gardner Museum (including John Singer Sargent’s El Jaleo, who here is dressed in a way that references the character design of Jolyne Cujoh). In the bottom left, electric blue tigers race under arches in a starry-void space. At the top right, a mysterious woman stands under a painting with aa living parrot, and next to an another parrot on a chair. She is standing upon a coil of thread that weaves throughout the painting, and terminates in a box at bottom left which is guarded by a fancily dressed woman in parrot couture costume, in a miniature “room” with different paintings of other woman, and a mirror that reflects a color field of pink, blue and white. A pink nude woman is seated above on a fabric drape that flows down from a red woman above her who is holding a flower looking out from an ornamented arch. At center is a large blue woman who is smelling a stand of roses, while below her is a smaller ballerina doing up her flats on marble stairs. An outdoor nighttime scene set in a back alleyway mixed-with-a traditional Chinese garden pavilion where multiple characters from the Final Fantasy video game series are gathered around in a little garden courtyard surrounded by houses and walls. In the grass yard sits an ornate, classical American style table holding a blue-gold tea pot and cup set, along with chairs, and a small, green-marble topped side table that’s holding two vases with flowers and a blue-gold pitcher. Behind the furniture and courtyard rise tall, white birch trees. In the background close by is the tall side of a house with an open lit window and hanging laundry on the roof top above. Set into the house wall is an open window through which a cute FF9-style Moogle peeps through. In the further left background is a classic-Chinese style covered pavilion, with curved titles and green-red lacquer sides. Standing by, and sitting at (or on) the table, in the left foreground are Beatrix, Freya and Eiko (who is trying to read a book) (FF9), along with Terra (FF6), Fang (FF13), Rydia (FF4) and Fran (FF12), the three of whom are sat close together, shoulders touching in deep gossip/discussion. To the left, by the courtyard wall and entrance is Garnet/Dagger (FF9) who is sitting by herself on an ornate bench seat cradling a cat in one arm while Yuna (FF10) is stepping through the courtyard entrance, right arm outstretched and mid-saying something. Another orange cat is strolling across the grass in-between both groups. The scene implies that there is both lively discussion and leisurely resting amongst all the different parties, with the fun for the viewer getting to see all these different game characters together in one scene. The art style is based on clean, thin line art with solid, bright colors composed in a muted, yellow tinge since it is nighttime. Above the characters heads are little dark boxes with colorful gold-green borders with colorful bars displayed within, like video game status bars. Photo of an imaginary book cover for a novel titled “Big Fig Wasp.” The cover art depicts a "main character,” which is a self-portrait of myself femme presenting, and dolled up with ribbons and jewelry and sitting on an iridescent pedestal while a mysterious, color-chromatic webbed-hole emerges from my torso as my gloved hand pulls it open. A shadow figure wrapped by a glowing dragon-creature is coming into being in an ornate mirror behind me in the top right corner. At the bottom-left foot of the pedestal if a black-panther dressed in an ornamental harness. Flower decorations and ornament patterns accent the bottom and other corners of the cover. The type is painted in iridescent colors and come in and out of focus.

Willingly used perspective 😔✨
Screen capture of an in progress drawing on Procreate of a fantasy scene in a ruined hall with a fountain and Greek columns, based on the indoor courtyard of the Frick Museum. A regal seated lady and her attendants gaze out at a floating, nude archangelic-like figure with a gut-halo bearing a heart in their hand while a mysterious woman with a bleeding eye and crescent moon head piece gazes out at the viewer in the front, from behind a column.
