Happy new year!
2025 was full of ups and downs, but. I’m glad I got to see some ups this year.
Hoping for a better 2026!

Archery and dark hand poses for Aquilo dearest ✨ I highly recommend making arm refs if you got a character with complex hands or gear on. They are a life saver, trust me 😤

Aquilo hides something dark within him… will he get rid of it? Or will it consume him?

Heyyy! I’m still alive!! The past 2 months I was working hard on a personal project of mine called Dark Ice. This is Aquilo, an anxious archer determined to make more of his life than as a soldier- with lots of twists and turns ahead of him 👀
This is his expression sheet! I’ll be posting more soon!

An unused familiar form Ollie was supposed to have in potential underwater arcs from the DND campaign I left a couple of months back. Based off the Blue Ringed octopus! ✨🦑✨

La Luna, being a Tiefling and his father Akira, being human, has always been fun trying to mix and match their facial features together despite Luna having most of his traits from his mother. This was a sketch I did in Clip Studio Paint!

So, Im no animator, but my 3 years of suffering through animation school should be put to use 😅 I’ve gotten the urge to see how my designs are translated to animation as I update my portfolio again, so here is Baby La Luna doing a cute run! (Dunno if I’ll clean this)
