You won't believe that Levana was made by AI!🤖
...Cuz it wasn't! I spent over 31 hours and just under 35k brushstrokes in Procreate manually drawing and painting this😅

Katsucon Day 2
The show goes on, even after yesterday's sewage pipe burst and rained stench on some artists tables. They neutralized the smell, and now we're open again.

It will be about my OC Nanci! 💀
Bluesky's character limit is too small, so I'll screenshot this from my site lol...
I spent about 2 weeks in December outlining the entire thing, and fleshing out all the character personalities and relationships. I might have enough content for 2-3 books😆
NANCI THE NECROMANCER Power comes at a cost. Nanci knew that more than most. Sacrifice was something she knew deeply, and she would sacrifice everything to gain enough power to rescue her daughter Nirah from Hellborn King Akstroth's clutches. Nanci was willing to sacrifice her mind, body, and soul practicing the darkest of crafts - the blasphemous magics of resurrecting and controlling bodies of the dead. After all, in order to rescue her daughter, Nanci would have to cross over into the Under Realms to find her…
