Hey guys! Bear with me while I set up here 🐻
Stick around for my daily puns and occasional art! 🌈✨
What a year it has been! Been part of exciting projects, got my first course out of the door, delved deeper into Blender and got to spend more time in my lil personal project! Hoping for more time for feel good personal art in 2026! #Artvsartist2025 :))

Gigi might be the scary one, but drawing this dude and his 4 arms in perspective still haunts my dreams! From Half Giant's Brawlstars Gigi trailer :))

My favourite BG from the Brawlstars Gigi trailer with Half Giany !

My toxic trait is adding ellipses to everything I design, so I manifested the mother of all layouts: a) round room, b) furniture facing different planes c) fish eye d) low angle e) CHARACTER WITH 10000 arms??!! It was super fun tho!

Some exciting news! I recently started as Art Director at Blue Zoo Animation Studio :)

To say that the last few months have been chaotic would be an understatement, but, throughout it all, I have been incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such an amazing art community.

Tiny painting! This is the piece I painted during the Warrior Painters and Concept 101 meet up last week in Greenwich park! It was a lovely afternoon and the sights were gorgeous. I am honestly surprised at myself that I managed to yap at everyone AND make a painting?? Wow

I delved in deep for this one as I want to model and animate it in Blender. I have a feeling I will be doing some mild screaming in the next few days, so please bear with me!

It is built for mobility, not speed, which is why it has snake like mechanics, in order to navigate irregular terrain and crevices.

Callout sheet for the motorbike! :D This is the motorbike that the characters in my personal project make together.

It is a means of transportation that allows them to get to volcanos up close to facilitate collecting samples and monitoring its behaviour. >

Next I am going to put a proper call out sheet together, so that I can properly model it in 3D (send help!).

Also I am available for work, so if you need an artist with a 10/10 pun game, drop me a line!

WIP! Currently designing the bike that Robin and Talia build in my personal project "Clouded Judgement".

I have always liked mechs, but have not dived in too much into it before. Well now's the time and I am having a lot of fun getting WAY too tangled in the physics and feasibility of it! >

If you are planning on using a large set up (tripod and wet media), we recommend also bringing materials that can be used indoors (paper and pencil/pens, etc...), as a back up.

See you all there!

The plans are subjected to the weather conditions on the day, PLEASE check @noronhatastic and @concept_101_event 's stories for updates on the day. We recommend that participants bring picnic blankets.

We'll be gathering by the statue of William IV at 1PM. You don't need to be a painter to join, just bring your sketchbook and tag along! :)

As usual, we will be heading to a pub afterwards for a chat and drink.

Warrior Painters is teaming up with the lovely folks at Concept 101 to enjoy the warm Autumn colours in a joint Painting and Drawing meetup at Greenwich Park, London UK on Saturday 11th of October >>
