Latest Seatober drawing! This one is for the Starfish prompt of the art challenge. I really love how this one came out! #newcharacter #oc #originalcharacter #characterdesign #illustration #digitalartist #koreanamericanartist
A side view of a red-haired woman who is wearing a golden crown with red jewels in it and a starfish earring dangles from her left pointy/elf-like ear. The background is a patterned texture that looks like the waves of the sea. This magical creature is an ocean warrior princess who can summon storms at sea.

"Swimming with the Stars" ✨ Prompt Shark 🦈 of #seatober!

I really enjoyed creating this illustration, as I really wanted to create something that was magical and I loved the idea of swimming in a sea of stars, and having a whale shark that's made of stars ✨ #illustration #digitalart
A young woman of color, wearing a white flowy dress, is swimming in a sea next to a glowing whale shark that's made up of stars. Close up on the details of the woman floating in the water. Close up on the star details of the glowing whale shark.

Also, I was in Vermont the past weekend and it was so beautiful!! I might just have to make some art inspired by my travels there... #vermont #greenmountain #moon #fullmoon
The full moon shines brightly against the sunset over the mountains in Vermont.

Yay! I'm really happy with how this came out for the Whale prompt of my Seatober challenge! It's a haunted whale, whose tears are the souls of those lost at sea. #spookyseatober #shinseatober #illustration #artchallenge
A purple whale is crying, surrounded by swirling glowing fish, and the tears transform into glowing fish, which are the souls of those lost at sea Close-up detail of person riding on the whale Detail shot of glowing fish swirling around the whale

I finished this little drawing that I'd started on my last stream and posted the final drawing on my IG (shin_leeart) and figured I'd share it here!! I did change the pose a lot, but I like how it turned out!! #fall #fantasy #magic #originalcharacters #oc #illustration #autumn #forest #digitalart
A cute little mysterious ghost-like creature is seen peeking out from behind a tree. Another little ghost-like creature is dangling from a tree. Close-up on my little fairy character! The full scene of a magical character, dressed in a purple flower-like dress, is enjoying the fall foliage in the forest

Guys, I had TO. I drew the blue tiger from Kpop Demon Hunters in their human form, just like how I did for the bird. Swipe to see some close up detail shots! I added in a feather earring as a subtle reference to their bird bestie ✨ #kpopdemonhunters #kpdh #fanart
I imagined Derpy, the blue tiger from Kpop Demon Hunters, to be kind of like, this little short boy who's actually like thousands of years old. I feel like he kind of reminds me of Beast Boy from Teen Titans lol. Close up shot on some of the details. I kind of just had to add in a feather earring as a little homage to his bird bestie hehe.

Ok yes, I HAD to draw the bird from Kpop Demon Hunters in human form! I had so much fun drawing this and played around with the different accessories! Which one do you like the most?! ✨😆 #kpopdemonhunters #fanart #digitalart #illustration #fantasy #bird #sussie
The bird from Kpop Demon Hunters in human form just chilling with their bird friends. The bird from Kpop Demon Hunters in human form wearing magical sunglasses. The bird from Kpop Demon Hunters in human form wearing magical sunglasses and a mask that covers the lower half of their face. This is what I think they could wear as a disguise when out and about amongst the humans.

#wip Working on something fun!! I was inspired to draw the bird from Kpop Demon Hunters as a human (and yes, I know the bird has 3 eyes, but I'm adding in a detail that will explain why this human form has only 2 pairs of eyes lo). #kpopdemonhunters #fanart #korean #illustration #digitalart
Work in progress of my drawing of the bird (in human form!) from Kpop Demon Hunters.

Whoops, been too long since I last posted on here! Figured I'd share an update on some pages that I've been doing recently in my sketchbook ✨ I visited an aquarium recently and it inspired me so much 🦭 #sketchbook #shinsketches #coloredpencils
Colored pencil sketches of a starfish and some cute starry seals! I really love how these came out.

Had a rough couple days from work, mentally drained from corporate job drama. But def will put out some art as a way to decompress soon 💜🫶🏼 I'm planning on adding some more new products to my shop as another way to boost my income, so keep an eye out for some announcements ✨

Wow ok so I actually finished this a lot sooner than I thought I would 😅 Spent a total of 7 hrs on this painting! But I had fun working on this one! Plus it has 2 of my fav things, Zelda and Studio Ghibli in it!! #zelda #studioghibli #artsky #illustration #painting #rain #nature
Closeup on the korok holding a leaf as an umbrella over its kodama friend. How cute is that?! A detail shot...is that Link in the distance there?! The full image in its beauty!

More details added to the little Korok and the Kodama chilling together on a tree stump. I think this one might take me a few days, since it's on a big canvas...I need to take a break and sleep now! And my wrist is starting to cramp 😅 #artsky #illustration #fanart #zelda #studioghibli #procreate
More details being added to my illustration of a Korok and a Kodama spirit chilling together in a forest.

Started a very rough sketch of a concept that I had in mind: a Korok holding a leaf as an umbrella to help shield a Kodama spirit from the rain droplets. I thought that this would be a fun idea to combine some of my fav things together in one unique illustration hehe #zelda #studioghibli
A super rough sketch of an illustration that I wanted to make. I wanted to play around with the concept of a Korok using a leaf as an umbrella to shield a Kodama spirit from the rain. Best of both worlds, from Studio Ghibli and Zelda!

Finished this painting! I really want to do more Korean mythology inspired original drawings as a way to pay some homage to my Korean culture. So hope you like this one! This one is inspired by the Korean deity who looks over a large field of flowers, which represent the human souls.
My original illustration based on the Korean mythology of an underworld deity who looks over a field of flowers, which are representions of the human souls.
