Ah, I haven't made a proper self-introduction yet, so here it is. Hello, I'm Kari Avalon! Sometimes, I go by as "asa+kari" once in a while. I am an artist who enjoys illustrating with painterly bright colors. ( ´ ▽ ` )
It's nice to meet you!

A young, long-haired woman is strolling along a garden. She is holding a basket of apples on her right arm and holds a floral staff with her left arm. She is wearing a long cape, a shoulderless frilly top, a corset, a voluminous skirt, and boots. A woman with long curly blue hair and rabbit ears sits on a ledge together with her blobby rabbit companions. She is smiling at the viewer. This is a landscape painting. From the distance, a lost alchemist greets a fairy in the forest. A group illustration of three companions (Astor, Emi, and Kai) and small fox friends are about to enter a garden forest. Emi holds up a lantern to illuminate the path before them.

So since last month, I have mostly been occupied with making artwork my longtime character named Soren. After a long time, I finally have a default design/appearance for him..

#kariavalonart #art
This is a sketchy portrait of Soren, a man looking up at the viewer with a smile. He is holding a small paper or photo in his hand.

So. Thread

Left is a drawing I did 10y ago with Sharpie
Right is a redraw, started yesterday and finished only just now

In the replies I'm going to be talking about my experiences as an artist, then and now
#artist #beforeandafter #magicalgirl #mahoushoujo #progress #improvement
A very chaotic, gaudy, rainbow coloured drawing I did with Sharpie markers 10 years ago (2015) featuring three magical girls. One stands in front, on the bottom of the image, she wears a red shirt with two rank chevrons on her upper arm, red pleated miniskirt and thigh high red boots. She has light skin, blond hair in pigtails, beady black eyes. She conjures some kind of poison spell in her hands. Around her are a bunch of oversized kawaii sweets and food: chocolate sticks, Pocky, onigiri, lollipops, ice cream scoops in a stack, peppermint drops, hard sweets, and around them is a six colour rainbow swirl with stars popping out of it. Then there's the top half of the image. On the left side of that is a slightly darker skinned girl (still light skinned) dressed in the same clothes as the first girl, but purple, and wielding a strange X-shaped gold staff with a pink jewel set in the middle. She seems to be commanding fire from it. She has long brown hair. On the right side is another girl dressed in the same way, but green, and she has light skin, freckles, and red hair. The two girls are surrounded by oversized kawaii fruits and sweets: strawberries, cherries, ice cream, marshmallows, a watermelon slice, a pineapple slice, some Pez candy, some candy canes, more hard sweets... Some stereotypical floating kawaii ghosts hover above them. The background that is not rainbow is blue and orange, in a sunburst pattern. My signature was different a decade ago; I used to base it on my actual username, Troisnyx, rather than the tilted triquetra, and there'd be a cross square with the letters AMDG around it. The year stamp is next to the signature and is vertical, MMXV A digital drawing only recently finished, from yours truly, featuring three magical girls, all wearing blouses with cravats, gold trim, two gold chevrons denoting their rank on their sleeves, flowing miniskirts, and knee-high boots, and wielding staves, in their respective colours. Girl in the front has pale (not White) skin, blond hair, wears red, and holds her staff diagonally across the bottom half of the drawing. Two girls stand behind her, forming a triangle. Girl on the left is Black, has dark brown long braids reminiscent of Star Trek: Discovery's Michael Burnham from later seasons, has dark brown eyes, and wears blue, and is thrusting her staff downwards. Girl on the right is White Irish, has brown eyes and long puffy red hair in a ponytail, wears green, and is brandishing her staff upwards, behind her. All three seem to be conjuring up a spell where a slew of yellow 5-pointed stars flood the field and are sent out towards the unseen enemy. Around the girls are a bunch of sweets and a few fruits floating in the background: a peppermint drop, some hard sweets, some candy canes, chocolate curls, a popsicle, and an ice-cream scoop. The background is a deep purple, with a rainbow swirl extending from the centre of the image, clockwise, growing bigger until it leaves the image by the bottom right. My tilted triquetra signature is just slightly off centre, white, above one of the boots of the girl in red

...I kept recalling the ending song "Altair," especially the above section of the song near the end... so I decided to draw my favorite alchemist Ayesha.

#アトリ絵 #アトリエシリーズ #AtelierSeries #kariavalonart #art
A half body portrait of Ayesha Altugle, the protagonist of "Atelier Ayesha." She is smiling upward at the viewer while being basked by the twilight. She is walking along the field. Admittedly, I drew this partly to learn how to use some tools in CSP, so I hope I can make more artwork using them in the future.

Happy Birthday Escha!!
I had a lot of fun with this, even though her sleeves killed me, I do wish the background was better but I couldn't find a full ref of their atelier so, welp. Anyway, enjoy~.

お誕生日おめでとうございます, ライザのアトリエ!　
このゲームを遊んでたのは良い思い出です。
実は昨年にこのイラストを描いた。

While I haven't played all of the games from this trilogy, I generally had a good time.☀️

An illustration of a smiling Ryza in front of her alchemy cauldron. She holds a flask with one hand and is stirring the magically smoky cauldron with her other hand. Behind her is a collage of locales from the first three games. Overall, this illustration is framed with filigree and elements derived from her alchemy staves and design motifs.

Hello~ I recently completed Emi's newest design after figuring out more about the kind of story she would take part in. She's a character I made a long time ago, so I'm always pleased to see her growth overtime. :D

#kariavalonart #ocsky #art
This is a full illustration of Emi as an adult. She is youthful and quite spirited. She adorns her hair with flowers and ties her long wavy hair into low pigtails. She wears a sailor collar frill cardigan with princess sleeves on top of a layered dress. And, she wears platform shoes along with frilly ankle bands.

I finally figured out a new design for my character Emi. Her full design isn't ready for sharing yet.. but I figured making a simple portrait works well enough. (*･ω･)

A portrait of smiling Emi as she appears as an adult. She has her long wavy hair tied into low pigtails. She wears assorted flowers on both sides of her head. She is wearing a thin cardigan on top of her dress.

I quickly doodled this Ayesha last year on a postcard and colored it digitally with my usual software. If I recall correctly, I gave the original drawing away as a gift.

「うわぁ、謳うことで、ここ全部緑になったの！？」
「えへへ、すごいでしょう？私だってまだ信じられないもん。」
「・・・ステラードでも謳ってくれる？」
「えっと、そう簡単にはできないと思うけど・・・」

I'm grateful for the chance to draw Ayesha from "Atelier Ayesha" & Luca from "Ar tonelico II" together. They're in a forest gathering some kururuku fruit.

A chibi portrait of my current persona of a sort reading a book. She has long flowy hair and wears an oversized poofy hat adorned with flower pins. As things go, it takes her a while to process her thoughts.

I hate to post this but all the payments are apparently coming *next week* and we only have £36 to last us the entire week so

I'm opening emergency commissions. Three slots

Character design, logos, concept art, posters, album art, whatever. DM me here, or on Discord (@/troisnyx) for more info
Sleeve cover of Two Meeps' "Moving On," a drawing I did in red, orange, and yellow, of a woman standing on a broken road (specifically on a cycle path). The road is on fire. A fire hydrant nearby is bursting forth with water. A nearby Stop sign is bent. On the other side of the broken road, behind the woman, is a tank that has collided with a brick arch Horizontal poster I drew, in shades of blue, of an imaginary Splatfest in the universe of the Splatoon games. In the foreground are a performing band, two singers are at the front corner of the stage. A keyboardist and synth player stands on the left, and a drummer stands on the right, with an array of drums. The drawing is from their point of view. In the "background," and the main subject of this image, is an acrobatics troupe leaping from pole to pole, dragging a huge floating balloon squid, chasing after a pearl. There are lights, flags, and buntings everywhere. Further in the background are high-rise buildings, and people watching from the balconies of said buildings Logo for Trench that I drew, which involves Inkling text T R on one row, E N on the row below it, C H in the row below that, all in white. Behind that is a scribble, fading from pink to purple to blue, and behind that is a distressed upside down grey triangle outline Character I designed for a commission, a dark-skinned Octoling girl with purple tentacle hair in thick curls. The hair has permanent purple scars. The girl has purple eyes and eyebrows - left eyebrow is split - and wears green eyeshadow. She also wears a black dress which has a short skirt and long train, is off shoulder, and has lots of purple flowers and green leaves in a vertical line, stitched on, on the left side (viewer's right). She also wears black gloves, black fishnet stockings, and black boots with flat heels and odd laces. Her left one is purple and her right one is green.

An illustration of a singing young woman named "Shia Plines" looking happily at the viewer. She is wearing a long sleeved dress with bell sleeves and layers, ornate headdress, and platform mary jane shoes. Behind her is a verdant area with an enormous tree in the distance, a river passing through, and some buildings such as homes and windmills scattered in the distance.

This is a portrait of Ayesha I drew over a year ago. She is outside walking about on a warm summer day.

I think at that point, I've drawn a version of her set in every season.

While waiting for a long time at an unusual place during my recent trip to Osaka, I painted this portrait of Ayesha with my phone. This was based on my memory, so I tried my best to recall the key points of her design.
