A digital illustration celebrating the one year anniversary of the video game Metaphor: ReFantazio's release. It depicts the protagonist standing in front of a large religious building at sunset. He has a solemn and hopeful expression as he looks upwards towards his Resonant Vessel (a magical artifact that resembles a mix between a metallic heart and a microphone) that he is clutching in one hand, with the other over a glowing wound in his chest from which he wrenched said Vessel. Orange markings that glow brightly branch off from the wound to decorate his body. Radiant rays of fierce orange light spill forth from the heart-like Vessel, in which the view of an ornate utopia can be seen. His entire form is illuminated by the orange light, making him stand out against a dark background. The strength of his heart illuminates the way towards a world in which dreams and fantasies are always in reach. Digital illustration of a hunter and their mount from Monster Hunter Wilds. The hunter is an older woman with a bulky, powerful build and grey hair; she is in an upright riding position, grabbing the reins and turning to look at the viewer. Her mount is a bipedal monster that resembles a large dromaeosaur, with a stubby beak, horns, winged forearms, and vibrant blue and cyan feathers with orange and cream accents. Art depicting a teenage Rider from Monster Hunter Stories. He is resting with three of his main monsties: a Mizutsune, Anjanath, and Kulu-Ya-Ku. They are all curled around each other and look content and peaceful. Digital art of a tiger. It is painted in bright, warm hues that stand out against the dark background. The tiger has a fierce expression on its face, its ears folded back and its mouth open in a roar.

Happy Halloween! My husband and I carved pumpkins together. I could not resist doing the Golden Homo Tenta from Metaphor: ReFantazio~ 🦷✨🎃
Photograph of two lit jack-o'-lanterns glowing in the darkness. The one on the left is carved to resemble the Golden Homo Tenta enemy from Metaphor: ReFantazio, its eyes and mouth carved in jagged edges. The one on the right is a more classic jack-o'-lantern. Screenshot of the Golden Homo Tenta enemy from the video game Metaphor: ReFantazio. It resembles a large, golden tooth with a spooky face on it; its roots serve as two stubby legs.

When Halloween rolls around I also like to come up with a set that is as monstrous-looking as I can make it, so here's that! Pieces that give multiple eyes, clawed hands and feet, spikes, and spooky glows all seemed like a good fit.

They are in a action pose, their arms splayed out behind them, one leg raised as they leap. Screenshot from the video game Monster Hunter Wilds.

Don't mind me, just sharing some shots from MH Wilds' Dreamspell festival! It's been a ton of fun so far, as seasonal stuff in Monster Hunter usually is. Love the vibes. Also, it's always fun coming up with new mixed layered looks based on the new armor! #talini #mhwilds
Screenshot from the video game Monster Hunter Wilds. It depicts the player's hunter (and older woman with grey hair and scars) standing on an elevated cliff, her arms outspread. She is wearing blue and gold attire adorned with glowing roses and various spooky accessories. The chest of the coat is pulled open, and the silhouette of a rib cage can be seen against a bright blue internal glow. In the background is a mountain range and a moody, dark blue night sky with a glowing moon partially obscured by clouds. Screenshot from the video game Monster Hunter Wilds. It depicts the player's hunter standing in front of a large stone column, around which wraps dark thorny vines adorned by deep blue roses. The blooms contrast the warm candlelight.

Preorders are now open for a wonderful MH zine at @monsterhunterzine.bsky.social!! 100+ pieces of amazing artwork & writing by talented creatives, plus bundles that feature a bunch of other goodies. Proceeds go to a good cause, too! Here's a preview of my illustration; an honor to be included!
A preview for a fanmade Monster Hunter zine that features two Palicoes (small, bipedal cat creatures) running away with a large piece of meat. The shape of the meat serves as a frame; within, a cropped preview of the artist's illustration can be seen. It features a Lagiacrus snapping up a King Marlin in its powerful jaws.

It was such a huge honor to be able to gift it to Caleb at last night's celebratory event--he was very sweet about receiving it, and Alejandra and Greg were very warm with their compliments as well. Such wonderful people; I am so glad I got to talk to them. 💕

🖌️ "We know... fantasy is more than an empty dream. It's a dream... with the power to change the world!" Proud to unveil my illustration for Metaphor: ReFantazio's anniversary! It was such an absolute love letter to creatives; I had to create my own loving tribute in return. 💖 #art #metaphor #メタファー

I finished Metaphor: ReFantazio last night and have been thinking about it nonstop. I so deeply enjoyed this one and felt incredibly seen by it and how it tackles its themes. Particularly, it being a love letter towards creatives/fantasy in general left me very touched. A favorite for sure! 💙
Screenshot from the video game Metaphor: ReFantazio of the protagonist (a blue-haired boy in his late teens wearing white traveling clothes) and Gallica (his small fairy companion with orange hair, pastel yellow and blue clothes, and long wings that have patterns on them reminiscent of stained glass). They are sitting on a sandy beach together (with Gallica perched comfortably on his shoulder) looking up a magical object floating far off in the distance in a bright blue sky. Screenshot from the video game Metaphor: ReFantazio from one of its animated cutscenes. It depicts the protagonist, a blue-haired boy in his late teens with heterochromia: one gold eye, and one sapphire. He is wearing white traveling clothes, dark gloves, and black leggings. In the scene he is standing happily at the top of a mountain, with bright golden sunlight coloring the tall peaks behind him. The back of his hand is lifted to his brow to shield his eyes from the sun as he looks hopefully out over the landscape. Screenshot from the video game Metaphor: ReFantazio. It depicts elegant white text against a black background that reads, "FANTASY LIVES ON..." Clear data from the video game Metaphor: ReFantazio. The game's signature artistic UI emphasizes its bright text with a long streak of brilliant ruby paint, and a gold star sits just to the side of the playtime count, commemorating the achievement.

Flamefete was a blast, as Monster Hunter events usually are! Here are my obligatory commemorative screenshots. I really loved all the bright tropical decorations. Thanks to my buddy @grimmhooke.bsky.social for coming along for the ride! #mhwilds #talini
Screenshot from the video game Monster Hunter Wilds, taken during the game's Flamefete seasonal event.

Two players' hunters--one, a muscular older woman and the other a stylish man with colorful hair--strike dramatic poses in front of the gathering hub, which is lit by warm sun and adorned in seasonal decorations.

So TU2 brought LAGIACRUS (one of my all-time faves!! 💙), Seregios, lots of fun gestures including duo dances and one where I can have my giant lady throw it back like crazy, a cutscene where your hunter goes vogue, and MORE... this update was truly made for me! #monsterhunter #mhwilds #talini
Screenshot from the video game Monster Hunter Wilds. It depicts the player's hunter battling the monster Lagiacrus underwater. She is an older, muscular woman with grey hair, scars across her brow, and stylish shades; the Lagiacrus is a large monster with a long body with blue scales, a cream underbelly, and orange spikes. Here its enraged eye is glowing a fierce red in the gloomy blues of the underwater environment, and she is perched on its head preparing to strike it with her hunting knife. Screenshot from the video game Monster Hunter Wilds of two players' hunters performing a duo dance gesture together. There is a spotlight above them, bathing them in bright light against the dark night, and there are glimmering sparkles floating around them. They are in the middle of a stylish high five.

Both of them are sitting and watching while she shakes her rear in a rhythmic motion.

June might be almost over, but it's ALWAYS time for Pride! Here are two sketch commissions I got from the ever-amazing @guttertongue.bsky.social of Talini (my Monster Hunter OC) and her girlfriend (the Handler, an NPC from the same series). Love these to death, thank you so much! 💖 #talini
Digital sketch of a large, bulky OC from the Monster Hunter series who is an older, veteran woman. She is dressed down, wearing minimal clothing on her top (limited to a bra, arm bands, gloves, sunglasses on her forehead, and a necklace with monster claws, beads, and a seashell) and sturdy work pants. Her exposed skin is adorned with many scars, and there are small droplets of water running down her muscles. She is holding a waterskin and wiping her brow as she grins brightly; it is a candid view of a hunter after a hard and fulfilling day's work. The whole image is colored in the colors of the lesbian pride flag. Digital sketch of a large, bulky OC from the Monster Hunter series (an older, veteran woman) being embraced eagerly and happily by her girlfriend (the Handler, an NPC from the same series). The Handler has run up behind the larger woman and has her arms wrapped around her waist. The older woman is looking down at her partner, happily surprised by the gesture. The whole image is colored in the colors of the lesbian pride flag.

Talini's Seikret doesn't seem to know what to do with his new small son 😂 #monsterhunter #mhwilds #talini
Screenshot from the video game Monster Hunter Wilds. The hunter, a brawny older woman with grey hair and prominent scars across her brow, stands by a pen of monsters called Seikrets (which resemble colorful dromaeosaurs). One of the Seikrets is looking over at the small creature perched on her head, which is a feathered amphibian similar in color to him: bright blues, cyans, creams, and oranges.

First layered set for Talini in MH Wilds! I feel like I got lucky that Arkveld and the Guardians use some of her core colors. I also just really enjoy how fluffy this set is, ha. #talini

She is a bulky older woman with grey hair and scars over her brow. She is shown from both front and back views; her armor is comprised of silver steel, scaly silver leathers, and a short fluffy white cape/waist piece. She looks tough, rugged, but stylish.

Wrapped up the core narrative of Monster Hunter Wilds tonight. Really enjoyed it; the story beats with Arkveld took a surprisingly emotional turn for me & I thought Nata's arc was pretty well done. Another triumphant entry in the series; looking forward to all of the adventures to come! 💖 #talini
Screenshot from the video game Monster Hunter Wilds of the player character's hunter. She is an older woman with silver hair and three scars raking diagonally across her right brow.
