QRP an introduction for people new here:
Hi. I enjoy drawing and painting! I’ve worked professionally a bit as an illustrator and colorist but lately most of what I post is drawn or rendered in black and white. I’ve read manga most of my life so I try to draw in ways adjacent to that.

Artists, quote with something silly!
shishi-shishi
(In Japanese, “rhombus” is pronounced “hishi” and “lion” is pronounced “shishi.” Additionally, Edo dialect replaces “hi” with “shi,” so this drawing can also be read as “shishi-shishi”)
菱獅子。江戸っ子が読むと？

When I drew these baby chocobos I really focused on the chubby cheeks, and I remember there wasn't a SINGLE moment in the game where I ran past one without petting them 🥺
