HELLO WORLD! 👋🏻 🎨
I've been on a big journey of self discovery and reinvention -which includes my art style-, so I figured it would be a great opportunity to do one of these #meettheartist to reintroduce myself! So take a look, swipe around and feel free to ask any questions!

It's been awesome seeing my collaboration with @displate.com arriving in people's homes across the world. Truly one of the artworks I've poured all of my isometric love & greek mythology geekiness into, and it is heartwarming to see the love it's getting.

@itshugosnook.bsky.social here ya go! I saw this on displate and I liked it so much that it got me following all of your socials. I love your artstyle a lot. Thanks for making this beautiful piece 😄 do you do small private commissions by any chance?

Big fan of the @play.date from the folks over at @panic.com so I was very happy to be able to drop off this Playdate/Root Beer diorama illustration with them!

Hi hi #PortfolioDay! 🎨✨

I'm Requinoesis, someone who loves the ocean! I'm dedicated to creating a new insight into the imagery of sharks under pastel colors! 🌊🦈✨

You can see more of my art stuff here, if you want: linktr.ee/requinoesis
Roberto, the great hammerhead shark, explores the ruins of an ancient museum destroyed by Typhon's storm. He holds a flashlight and carries a mysterious human spirit in his backpack, who accompanies him in silence. The place, shrouded by the phenomenon called “cursed salt mist”, is covered in a permanent fog. Salt crystals sprout everywhere and a supernatural presence seem to lurk among the rubble. The spirit that accompanies Roberto is liquid and translucent. Sometimes little tropical fish of extinct species float around him, as if attracted by his presence. The museum's architecture is full of organic curves and ornate tiles. Decorated columns show a crab with a human face holding the moon between its pincers, an ancient symbol of a historical figure revered by the sharkfolk. A cozy little shark bistro nestled among lots of plants. A little harbor village of Gourdlets among a cozy grove of trees, carrying out various cooperative activities related to fishing and recreation, there are little colorful fish and a shark swimming peacefully in the sea. An allegory of the "Jaws" movie poster that caused damage and negative stereotypes to the image of sharks that persist to this day (I'm glad it's slowly changing, but it's still too slow to be considered forgivable). Now with a reversal of roles, with the human victim replaced by a simple wild shark and the terrible stereotyped shark replaced by a monstrous human skull seeming to want to devour the shark (this is the reality, we kill thousands of sharks every year, many of them killed for irrational reasons, who is the real cruel killer?)

It couldn't possibly take more than three illustrations of #PillarsofPharloom before I drew her, everyone's favorite NPC and everyone's favorite vocal stim of the month, the one and only Sherma. Team Cherry outdid themselves with this motley crew of quirky bugs.

One of the most gratifying projects I've ever been commissioned to do. Fun, creative and touching. And to know I played a small part in such a special moment... It's for things like this that I became an artist.

I proposed to Alyssa today and she said yes! Shout out to @itshugosnook.bsky.social for designing this fantastic Wingspan parody! It’s her favorite board game, and I MAY have lied and told her I was expecting a review copy for a new expansion in the mail. She doesn’t seem too mad about it.
Charles and Alyssa pose for a selfie. Alyssa puts her hand with the ring on Charles’ chest. A close up of Alyssa’s ring. It’s a pear-shaped diamond with peridot, alexandrite, and aquamarine as flourishes on the sides. A parody of the board game “Wingspan,” called “Ringspan.” The cover of the box has a dove and raven sharing a wedding ring in their beaks. The back of the Ringspan box. A humorous list of fake components is on the left, while the right side has art of Charles proposing to Alyssa while their three pets watch.

Just make it exist first.
I saw this trend going around - especially in the pixelart circles - but i figured I'd bring it over cuz it applies to almost every artistic field. Heck to almost anything really. Make it exist, make it happen. And THEN polish, work-it, improve it.

I've got two very important UFO 50 questions to @mossmouth.bsky.social , @strotchy.bsky.social or @perryjon.bsky.social :
Are the LX's games cartridges or floppy disks?
And are they inserted in that little slit in the middle section or in the "cover" to the left of the controller ports???

Leading up to Bananza, I knew I had to do some DK art to contain all of my hype.

Recording my first ever pitch videos today! 🎲✂️

I was really nervous (specially for doing it in English) but I think they turned out ok? Gonna do a light editing and put it on the web soon

Exciting to talk more about Trojan Horse, Trainwreck and Pocket Piñata in the next days 💜

🍌Happy #DonkeyKongBananza day! 🍌

To contain my hype I've been working on this piece which is NOT Bananza inspired, but rather a big homage to the 44 years of this big ol' ape. From the 81 Donkey Kong on the arcade, all the way to New Donk City in Odyssey. #donkeykong #inkdrawings #traditionalink

Don't think I posted the final thing here yet but this is the #streetfighter artwork I did for @COMBOBREAKER 2025! I just dropped it on my Etsy store and uploaded free wallpapers (phone and desktop) on my Gumroad.

I was listening to @kitandkrysta.bsky.social 's latest video about the DK Bananza hype and when they mentioned their own similarities with the duo I couldn't help but sketch them as such in my lunch break:
