Hello, Bluesky!

I'm a non-binary artist starting anew on the platform. I love drawing sparkly characters and using bold linework.

If you're a fan of fantasy or simply the idea of catching special little moments, I hope you'll stick around! 💕✨

VOCALOIDs DEX and YOHIOloid in formal attire, dancing together. They're in a party setting, as they're surrounded by balloons and banners. DEX is the focus of the piece, holding hands with YOHIOloid who is partially off-screen. We see enough of the latter for his little emotes to be visible: a trio of hearts and a little exclamation point. Even though his face isn't shown, it appears he's pleasantly surprised by DEX's initiative. This piece was originally posted for DEX's 7th anniversary.

Heath and Nina from NILFRUITS' "Ironina" are against a dotted background. Sharp objects, such as knives, scissors, and swords, surround them. Heath stands protectively by Nina's side, while Nina looks at them curiously. This piece was inspired by the 35 second mark in the song's MV, which was made by Akashi, as well as the backgrounds and outfits seen throughout.

Rune Factory 5's Lucas stands outside with, presumably, one of the game's protagonists. His gloves are off and he holds their hands in his own. An icon indicates they're chatting away as he smiles warmly towards them. The glittering sun shines down on him as he's situated beside a building's exterior. This piece was originally submitted to XSEED Games' Fanworks of Rigbarth Contest.

Melli from Pokémon Legends: Arceus looks over at the viewer, a dazed and sleepy expression on his face. It is early morning in the Coronet Highlands. You can still see speckles of stars in the sky, which is turning from a darker blue to an almost mint. The snow is the same as ever. Melli's hair blows in the wind. Melli's hand is pressed up to his cheek. It seems he's been caught off-guard.

This has to be my favorite design so far!! 👏💕

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 10 outfit, a jester costume with pointed shoulders and frills. The design has a black and white palette. The only burst of color is from Dotty's fuchsia hair, green eyes, and the red makeup marks on their cheeks. Behind their hand, they hide a mischievous smile.

I love how this one makes Dotty look like the protagonist of a cute indie game... 🥺

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 9 outfit, a jumpsuit, hooded cape, baggy mittens that extend to their elbows, and leg warmers, all adorned with stars. The design’s color palette is a mix of black, white, and yellow, with an added pop of pink from Dotty’s hair. They gaze up in wonder as a star soars behind them.

I have no idea what I’m doing anymore, but I hope it looks cute. 😶

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 8 outfit, a sweater crop top with detached sleeves, a low-waisted skirt, and a number of bows. The accessories stand out due to their magenta color, while still pairing perfectly with Dotty’s fuchsia flick-up bob. The rest of the design uses two different shades of gray. Dotty poses for the camera with their hands under their chin, palms down, and a little smile on their face.

If anything, this challenge is at least teaching me to get used to the “it’s not perfect but it’s done” mentality.

Let’s see how long that lasts. 😭

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 3d

I’m getting tired just looking at this…

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 7 outfit, a bear-themed crop top hoodie and shorts with decorative buttons. The design uses different hues of dull blues, which contrast well with Dotty’s pink flick-up bob. Dotty sits with their head resting against their hand and their other arm resting across their knees. They wear a sleepy expression with a soft smile.

The heart-shaped butterfly bows absolutely bring this design to the next level! 💕✨

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 6 outfit, a sideless dress with ribbons and butterfly-shaped bows. The clothing uses a mixture of black, red, and peach for its color palette, which is about the same level of saturation as Dotty's fuchsia hair. They're blowing a kiss at the viewer, and the hearts that have appeared are similar in shape to the many bows on the design.

It was at this moment that Dotty questioned what their life has come to.

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 5 outfit, a fluffy white and pink dress with detached sleeves, a cat-shaped handbag, a cat tail, and cat ears. Let it be known that the design uses a soft, pastel pink while Dotty’s flick-up bob is a hot pink. They’re mimicking cat paws with their hands and, while smiling, they’re definitely not happy about it.

I've been drawing the first pose that comes to mind for these... and sometimes that serves as its own challenge. 😅

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 4 outfit, a short dress, shawl, and scarf. The design evokes the feeling of winter with its red, white, and black color palette. Puffs of cold breath can be seen in front of their face. They hold a steaming mug in their hands while giving an amused look.

The amount of times I've drawn this hand gesture... 😶

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 3 outfit, a cherry-themed short dress with detached sleeves, suspender leggings, and a choker necklace. Their fern green eyes pair well with all the bright red cherry accessories, while their pink flick-up bob makes an interesting addition to the design's overall black, silver, and red palette. Their hands are brought up into a heart shape and their gaze is soft and loving.

I fear I might've already peaked with this one. 😔

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 2 outfit, a frilly crop-top with detached sleeves, short-shorts, and plenty of bows. Their pink flick-up bob stands out against the design's cream, white, and black color palette. Their hand is brought up against their cheek, though their sleeve obscures most of it, and they wear a worried expression.

Do any of you remember my OC Fedot? I've started calling them Dotty. 🥺

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 1 outfit, a bat-themed dress and jacket. Their pink flick-up bob matches nicely with the design's black and pink color palette. They're swayed to the side with one arm out and the other brought up in a closed palm. There's a sense of joy in their expression.

I’m about to do something really self-indulgent, but I hope I’ll come out of it having improved my drawing speed… I feel like getting better at that skill should make this worth it alone, considering how much of my work is art I have to power through. 🥲

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 28d

Honestly, I couldn’t tell what the reply meant, but it sounded positive! I’ve made barely coherent messages when I was half-asleep before too, so don’t worry about it! 👍✨

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 28d

Yeah, honestly, I’m still trying to figure out how to find specific communities in general, too! It’s part of the growing pains of a new platform, I guess… 😔

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · Sep 11

This is so sweet… 🥺💕

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · Sep 11

My heart… 😭

I hope those last few users know just how lucky they are! 🥺💕

Your style always feels so whimsical, but the framing on this one makes it especially unique! 🥺💕

happy birthday 4
#yohioloid #vocaloidoliver #powerfxfamily

A simple comic. The first panel shows YOHIOloid and Oliver sitting on a couch together, with Oliver sleepily resting his head in one hand against the armrest. Hio is attentively looking ahead at whatever they are looking at. It’s shown that the time is 11:59 pm. The second panel repeats the first image.

The third panel has the time switch to 12:00 am, and Oliver says “Happy birthday…!”
The fourth panel has Hio say “You know it’s 12:00 am, you can go to sleep.” Oliver responds with “You are also 12 am…” to which Hio responds with “Hm…not sure if that’s quite right…”

Thank you!! I might not always draw Hio with sparkles, but I try my best to have his look emit the same feeling regardless! 👏✨

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · Sep 10

It's Hio's 12th anniversary!! 🎉🎊✨

With his retirement this year, working on this piece was bittersweet. However, Hio continues to live on through his fans, so I hope I can share my love for him for more time to come!

YOHIOloid on a bed in cozy sleepwear. He’s lying on his stomach, chin resting on his hand and feet swaying in the air, as he happily chats away.
