2025 #Art 🧷 for the #PortfolioDay
I'm Kellie - I bought a giant narwhal plushie today (thrift store win)! I love drawing soft things with cozy cute color palettes.

I recently successfully made birthday cream puffs (dream achieved!) 🎉 3️⃣🅾️ 🎈 I also compost, garden, accounting, Excel, and sleep. 💤 🌸
Illustration of a merhorse with pink lilies and some sort of kelp that I did research but I forgot the name. The color palette is soft pink and pastels. There is a decorative starry border and the background is of star trails. Watercolor and ink illustration of a white bunny on a moon platter with 3 mooncakes and autumn leaves. illustration of a pink axolotl on a blood moon that is pink and yellow/white on the bottom. Sakura blossoms are around the moon and petals are on the axolotl. illustration of a sugar cookie maui dolphin with goldfish and sea shell cookie and snowflake cookie. the cookies and stuff are sitting on a driftwood with a sea ocean resin on top. There's cute white christmas lights on the side to make it look festive because i was crunching time so hard on this one

digital illustration of a merhorse (mer-unicorn) (water horse) with bamboo lilies and seaweed (i picked a certain species but i can't remember what type) and the sky is a soft muted purple yellow with stair trails. there is a decorative border of stars and twinkles. The color palette is soft pink purples and pastel.

It be Galentine's Day so I have to recommend Watatabe because we all need a monster girl this 2026 with a sprinkle of depression and great voice acting and much love made with this 🐟✨
screenshot of hinako and shiori upclose from this monster wants to eat me but watatabe sounds better. u can't beat voice actors that draw the characters and sing ED songs and hit the emotional beats despite budget constraints.

being an artist is just decades of going "ugh I wish I knew how to draw" over and over again until you die

Wait it's #HourlyComicsDay but I thought that was last Sunday so I already did mine XD

Not full comic cause it was slow vibe day (as is today)
#hourlies #art #comic #pikmin
3 panel comic of yellow pikmin making cream puffs with calm uwu face, second panel is yellow pikmin with lap cat bulborb watching anime on a laptop because that's the only way to watch anime, and then third panel is yellow pikmin shrieking that it forgot to cream the cream puffs at 10pm at night.

While I read many Holocaust memoirs, apart from the classic MAUS, this is the only other Holocaust graphic novel I've read - while this one is "for children," the portrayals of the horrors and injustices are just as haunting

Highly recommend as always especially in these times 🙏💔

This week's funny anime rolled toxic boyfriend energy and i'm here for it while also nervous for the MCs

Frieren is always a treat but these two are my faves this season
screenshot from tamon b side of tamon being clingy toxic wanting utage to never leave him. this show is always so funny so i wasn't expecting a dark turn but i'm all for addressing this type of relationship. screenshot of Aresh from bean counter being clingy toxic boyfriend asking where bae was without telling him. oh my gosh i love this show so much like yesss accounting MC but ALSO GAY YESSSSS

Full on concentration camps. "We don't know half of what's going on in the camps, but we know enough" is echoing from 85 years ago.

Kelly Vargas writes about what happened to her, her husband, and their 6yo daughter in the family camp in Texas.

Filth, illness, medical abuse—her child has lasting complications from being injured by a staff member.

We don't know the half of what's happening in the camps, but we know enough.

ABOLISH ICE
MEET ANGRIER PIKMIN

#abolishice #pikmin #art
drawing of a blue, red, and feral yellow pikmin being angry with a sign that has ICE with a red X mark over it and the text at the bottom says "Abolish Ice - Stop Cruelty" idk how anyone can look away from this and justify this like what is their brain doing why is there no braincell present in these people with R's next to their name

Winter Storm Fern arrived and left us with rock hard immovable ice ❄️⛄

#art #frieren #watercolor
watercolor & ink sketch illustration of Fern from Frieren in her winter outfit and snowflakes around her. The style is mine but the ink parts are like the style of the season 1 second ending. I did that more to cover up mistakes lol but i love the aesthetic anyways. i couldn't sketch the sketch with pencil because the paper gets ruined when you erase so I did straight up ink. so i'm pretty happy how it turned out considering i completely forgot about her hair in the back after I had already done the hatchwork stuff.

I've been waiting for this moment since like 9th grade but also I hard binged the entire 23 volumes again in the last 3 days and then i learn there's 11 epilogue chapters i've never read oh thank happy birthday to meeeeeeeeeee

Also blessed by Yoasobi OP and the cute ED we never get to actually see
screenshot of hana kimi op with all the bros on the couch. like oh my gosh dudeeeee i remember reading this is in high school and i was kinda bitter about the ending (vague dumb brain) but i reread it and it's so strong and i'm happy with the ending and it logically makes sense looking back.
