Hello, Bluesky!

I'm a non-binary artist starting anew on the platform. I love drawing sparkly characters and using bold linework.

If you're a fan of fantasy or simply the idea of catching special little moments, I hope you'll stick around! 💕✨
VOCALOIDs DEX and YOHIOloid in formal attire, dancing together. They're in a party setting, as they're surrounded by balloons and banners. DEX is the focus of the piece, holding hands with YOHIOloid who is partially off-screen. We see enough of the latter for his little emotes to be visible: a trio of hearts and a little exclamation point. Even though his face isn't shown, it appears he's pleasantly surprised by DEX's initiative. This piece was originally posted for DEX's 7th anniversary. Heath and Nina from NILFRUITS' "Ironina" are against a dotted background. Sharp objects, such as knives, scissors, and swords, surround them. Heath stands protectively by Nina's side, while Nina looks at them curiously. This piece was inspired by the 35 second mark in the song's MV, which was made by Akashi, as well as the backgrounds and outfits seen throughout. Rune Factory 5's Lucas stands outside with, presumably, one of the game's protagonists. His gloves are off and he holds their hands in his own. An icon indicates they're chatting away as he smiles warmly towards them. The glittering sun shines down on him as he's situated beside a building's exterior. This piece was originally submitted to XSEED Games' Fanworks of Rigbarth Contest. Melli from Pokémon Legends: Arceus looks over at the viewer, a dazed and sleepy expression on his face. It is early morning in the Coronet Highlands. You can still see speckles of stars in the sky, which is turning from a darker blue to an almost mint. The snow is the same as ever. Melli's hair blows in the wind. Melli's hand is pressed up to his cheek. It seems he's been caught off-guard.

BOO! Did I surprise you? Did you really think I'd leave you hanging on Halloween day? 👀

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 30 outfit, a romper with a half skirt, a single long glove, an oni horn, and small wings. The design uses a reflective fabric that gives the appearance of a blend of white, blue, and pink, while the rest of the material used is black. Dotty’s fuchsia hair makes the pink stand out in particular. They beckon you with open arms and a wide grin on their face.

We're nearly through! Only one day left! 👏✨

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 29 outfit, leggings with mesh fabric at the top, a romper with a heart-shaped cutout on the stomach and a diamond-shaped cutout on the chest, a belt with bat wings attached, and a headpiece that resembles horns. Two different shades of black are used for a majority of the design, but the detailing is a bright green that brings out the color of Dotty's olive green eyes. They look up in thought, a fist on their hip and another held up close to their face.

They look like they’re about to tell you they’re glad you made it to the party. 😭

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 28 outfit, a fashionable cropped jacket that has absolutely massive short sleeves, long gloves, a checkered vest that forms a heart shape when buttoned, and low-waisted pants with diamond-shaped cutouts on the sides. Most of the outfit is black and an off-white while the highlights use a bright purple, which is pretty close to the pink color of Dotty’s hair. Dotty stands with an open smile and arms spread wide.

We're almost at the end, but I'm not done playing around with dynamic poses!! 👏✨

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 27 outfit, a leotard with an attached skirt and ribbons in their hair and on their side. A majority of the design is a dark shade of blue with a gradient of either gray or black. Dotty quickly turns to look behind them, the ribbons and their pink flick-up bob still in motion from the action.

I’m pretty proud of the angle on this one. 🥹

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 26 outfit, a fluffy off shoulder jacket, a corset one-piece with fluff around the hips, fox ears, a fox tail, and a collar. The design mainly uses white and a pastel blue, which brings out Dotty's olive green eyes, but the one-piece stands out as a striking black. With one hand on their hip, Dotty looks to the side in alarm.

I sketched the pose for this in advance and yet the intricate design meant I didn't save any time. 😭

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 25 outfit, a long sleeve leotard covered in straps, suspender leggings, a flowing cape, and a massive witch's hat. The color palette of the design is made up of light blue, bright blue, black, and gray. Dotty is playing around with magic, which has a purple hue that bridges the gap between the pink of their hair and the range of blues in their attire.

Another fantasy design! I love how Dotty looks in these. 🥺

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 24 outfit, a striped cold shoulder button-up with loose sleeves, a skirt with an apron, a tiara, and wing-themed decorations. A majority of the design is black and white with pops of color from blue jewels and Dotty's pink hair. Dotty politely stands with their hands folded in front of them, looking to be holding back laughter.

I didn't know where this one was going until the very end. 😶

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 23 outfit, flower-shaped accessories and a long sleeve unitard with a floral pattern and slits across the chest and shoulders. Dotty's pink hair is adorned with one large flower and one small one. The unitard uses a few different shades of gray while the flowers are a bright white. With one arm out and one hand pressed against their chest, Dotty appears to be voicing an intense emotion.

It's good to know that even with their hair covered up, Dotty is still recognizable... 😅

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky
Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 22 outfit, a corset one-piece, a large fluffy jacket, a detached collar, and a rabbit-eared trapper hat... all adorned with bows. The design is made up of gray, white, and lilac. Dotty looks bewildered at the viewer... The gray brings out the olive green of their eyes.

I'm starting to think Dotty's hair has its own way of expressing itself at times... 😂

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 20 outfit, a crop hoodie, a torn crop top, a fishnet undershirt, ripped short-shorts, belts, and a single fishnet legging. Their fuchsia hair pairs well with the fluorescent yellow. The yellow detailing of the design glows against the black. Dotty is making a rock hand sign with a big smile on their face.

I think this is the closest we’ve come to a lore-accurate Dotty so far… 🤔

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky
Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 20 outfit, a cape with a large hood, a detached bertha collar with a scalloped neckline, a corset top, a short circle skirt, and a hair accessory in the shape of a rose. The entire ensemble is made up of pinks and grays, so Dotty’s fuchsia hair blends right in. Their hands are clasped together, and their face is scrunched up as they plead.

I thought I’d mix things up a bit with a back view! 👏💕

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky
Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 19 outfit, a black crop top, a belt collar, faux fur around the shoulders, gloves with fur by the trim, two belts across the waist, and a short frilled skirt with a longer layer underneath. The entire design uses black with gray for the details and accessories, plus a slight purple gradient at the bottom. Dotty’s pink flick-up bob produces the brightest color in the image. They stand with their back to the viewer, looking over to the left.

The pattern on this one felt so floaty... I had to draw bubbles to match the vibe! 👏✨

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky
Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 18 outfit, a one-piece swimsuit with detached sleeves and a thigh garter with a heart in the middle. The design shifts between black and a pink similar to the color of Dotty's hair. There are soft circles and hearts all across it. Bubbles float up from the bottom of the image, which Dotty looks down at in surprise.

I’ve noticed that Dotty’s expressions have opened up more over the course of this… Isn’t that cute? 🥺

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky
Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 17 outfit, ripped leggings, a checkered skirt, a bra, and a flame-themed jacket with ripped sleeves revealing fishnet fabric underneath. The design mainly uses different tones of gray, which makes the orange details and Dotty’s pink hair stand out well against it. Dotty looks off to the distance, giving a big wave and smile.

I know it makes no sense, but something about this design feels nice and familiar. 😭

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 16 outfit, a leather dress with belts, spiky bracelets and armbands, a belt collar, and small ram horns. Their hands are clawed and discolored, adding a darker gray and a purple-ish pink to the black and light gray color palette of this design. Dotty's own fuchsia hair fits in with it well. They give a proud smile while showing off their claws.

There's an air of mystery to this expression... and maybe mischief, too. 🤔

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky
Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 15 outfit, leggings with flame motifs, a leather top and shorts, and a detached collar. This design also includes horns and wings sprouting from their head, large wings on their back, and a pointed tail to complete the set. A majority of the ensemble uses blacks, reds, and browns, but Dotty's personal features add a pop of pink and green to the mix. With the slightest playfulness, Dotty makes a shushing motion to the viewer.

I can't get over how pretty Dotty looks in this... 🥺💕

This outfit looks like it came straight out of the 2000s. 😶

#DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky
Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 13 outfit, ripped leggings, low-waisted short-shorts, a wristband, a crop top, a choker necklace, a friendship necklace, and chunky headphones. The design uses an assortment of greens and grays which have tones that work well with the fuchsia of Dotty’s hair. Cupping their headphones, it’s easy to tell Dotty is enjoying themself as they listen to the music.

If you're having a rough day, please imagine Dotty cheering you on. 🥺
