If the weather allowed me to wear my hair down when it was long, I would. I have short hair now, like on the right, but I've always drawn myself with long hair.

Rough drawing of myself, 3/4 view smiling and waving off to one side.

Left has loose waist-length hair, and is wearing a hot pink dress, soft pink sash, black shorts, and white slip-on shoes, a red 7-star charm hanging from the waist. Center has a waist-length ponytail, and is wearing a magenta dress, pink sash, dark purple shorts, and brown slip-on shoes, a red 7-star charm hanging from the waist. Right shows headshots, one with shoulder-length hair and the other with a shoulder-length ponytail.

K-Pop Demon Hunters & Jem and The Holograms have three major things in common: 1) a song about "gold;" 2) Incredible music; 3) absolute heart. Of *course* I had to draw the leads from both.

Chibi drawings of Rumi (K-Pop Demon Hunters) and Jem (Jem and The Holograms), back-to-back, arms stretched forward as they sing. Surrounding them is a glittery-gold background and ribbons mimicking music filling the air.

Drawing of myself as a 10-year-old, dressed in Red's clothes from Pokemon R/B/Y. Stepping back, frantic and startled, while a Caterpie is curled in one arm. In front of them, an angry Bulbasaur uses his vines to hold up a Pikachu, who chomps the vines in retaliation. The background is a rough rendition of the "tall grass" on Route 1.

Fanart of Lumine (Genshin Impact) surrounded by Dendro leaves and Pyro flames.

Colored, rough sketches of the main Dungeon Meshi cast: Senshi and Chilchuck in the foreground, Laios and Marcille in the background.

Panel 1:
Chilchuck glares at Laios and Marcille, who are chatting loudly.
Chilchuck: "I can see what's happening."
Senshi: "What?"
Chilchuck: "And they don't have a clue!"
Senshi: "Who?"

Panel 2:
Senshi shoots a bewildered look at an alarmed Chilchuck, who's now yelling and motioning to the others. Laios and Marcille look on curiously.
Chilchuck: "DISASTER'S IN THE AIR!"

Pokemon fanart of myself dressed as a trainer in Z-A jacket and hat combo, holding a Rotom phone in one hand and a Totodile in the other arm.

In moving to a new laptop, I re-downloaded CSP and discovered I never upgraded to the newest available version (for what I paid). Drawing is a mixed bag right now so I used lineart from a previous pic to experiment with the jitter brush.

This game has some really fun anecdotes, like finding out the stereotypes of Hyrule.

This is the only screenshot of Age of Imprisonment I can safely share. Why are men like this.

Legends Z-A is really fun! (Yes, it has its issues; that doesn't take the cool stuff away.) I've had a great time going through and decided I should continue my tradition of drawing myself with my starter.

I did the pokemon chart that others are doing because I, too, enjoy fun trends :D

Realized the only legendary/mythical that could usurp my love of Celebi were the ones that you spend time with in-game. ScarVio was so fucking good~
