I intended to finish this art of Chizuru in time for the Hakuouki series anniversary. But hey, Hakuouki technically has two anniversaries with the Shinkai release so it counts!
#Hakuouki #Hakuoki #YukimuraChizuru #Chizuru
Yukimura Chizuru from Hakuouki. A girl with brown hair and eyes, wearing a pink kimono and white hakama pants stands against a blue gradient sky with arms stretched out to catch cherry blossom petals.

I updated the chibi art I made for @galatunia.bsky.social with her new design!
Alternate versions in the comments. I wanted to give her options on the supplies.

Chibi art of a woman with black to purple and pink gradient hair, cat ears, big flower glasses, a black dress, and purple crocs holding an oversized purple handle brush with pink paint on it.

Part 2 of the Azura art I painted for her birthday. The Nohrian version of her outfit is so iconic that it didn't feel right only painting the white version.
#Azura #FireEmblem #FireEmblemFates #FE14
Watercolor and color pencil art of a chibi of a woman with long blue hair and golden eyes sitting on a large bubble. She is wearing a dark blue dancers outfit with purple ribbons and gold accents and a dark blue veil.

For Azura's birthday I wanted to challenge myself to paint the bubble chibi art I did for her last year. I'm unsure which medium I prefer more but I'm happy with the result either way. Nohrian outfit coming soon in another post.

The last set of my Zelda heart paintings. The ones from Twilight Princess have been the biggest challenge with the high contrast stained glass gradient they have but turned out to be my favorite result in the end.
#LegendofZelda #TwilightPrincess #LoZTP #Watercolor #ColorPencil
A pair of hearts from the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess painted in watercolor and color pencil. Both have a gold border with a swirl pattern and a stained glass texture. The one on the left is part teal with only the center being pink (a piece of heart) and the other being pink towards the gold frame (full heart).

Part 2 of 3 of my watercolor Zelda hearts. Just in time for Valentine's Day, the heart container and piece of heart from Skyward Sword! I like that this heart container is the one that went on to be used in BotW and TotK but I miss the pieces of heart too!
#LegendofZelda #SkywardSword #BotW #TotK
A pair of hearts made out of watercolor and color pencils. The one of the left is red and gold with a swirl pattern. The one of the right only has a red heart in the center with gray swirl patterns. Representing a full heart and piece of heart.

Watercolor and color pencil hearts based off Ocarina of Time and stained glass. I've wanted to paint Zelda hearts for a while and what better time to start than for February?
#LegendofZelda #OcarinaofTime #Watercolor #LoZ #OoT
A watercolor and color pencil artwork of two hearts. Both have a blue border with one of the left having a small red heart that doesn't fill the frame (a piece of heart) and the other red heart fills the entire frame (a full heart). Drawn in a way to mimic stained glass.

I've wanted to draw Link's Gerudo Vai outfit for quite a while and thought a trek through the desert would be a perfect opportunity.

"Oh, you're leaving..."
Couldn't resist drawing Link's first friend in Ocarina of Time, Saria! I always felt guilty at this part.

Linktober 2024 Day 1: Mirror

My first thought when I heard the prompt mirror was the magic mirror from Link to the Past. I imagine that Link probably had the reaction of "Why a bunny?" when he first transformed in the Dark World.

To celebrate the Switch release of Hakuoki I painted a bottle of ochimizu and a cherry blossom. I can't believe its been 11 years since I've last played this game. Can't for the nostalgia trip!
