As a companion for Anya, I decided to design a little sticker of Loid and Yor lookin' adorable and awkward together!  <3

But truthfully, I still feel like this one looks weird.  =w=' Sometimes I really struggle with faces.  #SpyxFamily #fanart #heart

My favorite fictional Gremlin Child. <3 Anya is just so cute!  I love her so much!  Are y'all excited for Spy X Family season 3?

That was all I had to dump for now. I actually just finished this one this week!  A Momo to go with the Okarun I did awhile back.  <3 My biggest question is, should this be a transparent sticker, or a white one like all my other chibis?

I mean, you gotta have Superman to go with Batman, right?  Even though Batman is the more interesting character, by far. Still, Superman is a classic.

I wanted to try my hand at making vintage comic styled chibi stickers for Fanboy Expo a few months ago. They weren't particularly popular, but it was still fun to try!  This one was Batman (duh), but which costume is it?

Actually, looking through my files, there are a few things I did a few months ago that I somehow never uploaded.  So be ready for a dump of new (to you) content in the next week!

Starting with this little homage to my childhood.  What was your favorite show as a young kid?

I'm working on some more Chibis for future conventions! I feel like I messed this one up, though.  What do you think, is it still cute?

I've been neglecting my social media for a little bit recently, but I've also been prepping to sell my art at Fanboy Expo in Knoxville Tennessee this weekend.  This is just one of many things I've made to prep for it!

When Lars of the Stars was announced, I knew I wanted to do some fanart ASAP.  So I immediately jumped into a new project! This will make a cool poster, I think. <3 And I'm really digging this simplistic sort of style for some types of art, especially stuff like Steven Universe.

I did a speedpaint yesterday.  After seeing a pretty sunset at home, I was inspired to try to capture that feeling in a different setting.  So here's a painting of Broadway in Nashville during a sunrise, right after a heavy rain.

4 hours, Krita

So, I'm working on some new branding for myself.  I think I'm gonna go in this direction, and lean into doing more landscape heavy art, moving forward.  And it's still the same blue, so I can still use my old signs! <3

#branding #businesscard #landscape
A business card design featuring a pink and yellow sky with wispy light blue clouds, and a mountainous landscape in various shades of blue, with a few evergreen trees on top of the closest mountain range, silhouetted against the sky. The card reads "Carolyn Design"

Phew! I've been doing a lot of art recently, but I'm gonna be taking a break from posting this weekend. But check out this fun Pokemon design?  I designed it as a sticker, but I kinda wanna try to get this printed on a t-shirt!

#magikarp #gyarados #pokemon #fanart #stickerdesign
A design featuring three Pokemon: a Gyarados swimming in the water with two Magikarp swimming near him. The Gyarados is roaring at the viewer, and the Magikarp seem to be splashing around looking elsewhere. They're surrounded by bubbles.

Deltarune Tomorrow!

I did a quick last minute sticker design because I'm really excited about Chapters 3 and 4!  I love this game so much!

I dunno why I like doing things in groups of six so much... Something about it just feels right for some reason? Anyhow, here's the final Boba drink for now. This is some sort of clear beverage with so much ice that the rainbow popping boba are suspended throughout.

#rainbow #boba #drink
A glass mason jar filled with popping boba in a gradient pattern. The boba are suspended in a clear beverage with ice, making them look like they're floating. The dirnk has a dark purple straw.

Does this count as bubble tea?  There's no tea in a mangonada, and it's not usually served with popping boba... But wouldn't it be tasty this way? The tajin with mango and strawberry popping boba sounds pretty peak to me, honestly.

#mangonada #boba #poppingboba #drink #tasty
A sticker design featuring an old fashioned soda fountain glass filled with mangonada. There is a swirl of tajin on the side of the glass, the glass is rimmed with tajin, and there are diced mango chunks on top of the glass topped with more tajin, with a pretty purple straw

What's your favorite flavor of bubble tea?

I wanted to try drawing something different, so this is a butterfly pea flower tea layered over lemonade with strawberry popping boba, with snow cone ice.

Taro Milk Tea Boba!

You gotta love a pretty purple drink, right? I decided to try putting the boba on top of the ice for some visual contrast with this one!

Another boba sticker design! This time, a matcha milk tea with whipped cream on top!

What flavor should I do next?

I did a painting of Niko from Oneshot.  This game really stuck with me, and I thought that glow in the dark paint would be the perfect way to represent one of the possible choices you can make at the end. I'll take better photos of the painting later!

Would you live in a Hobbit Hole?
Finished this painting of Bag End up recently! Don't Hobbit homes just feel like the coziest little homes?

A little 3" x 3" painting I did for my local library's mini art gallery 
Libraries are an abundant resource that should be protected at all costs. 

And eggs are yummy

I know I like to draw, despite struggling with not being happy with my work and the emotional turmoil while drawing. However, I am glad I made these sketches and I hope I will look back more fondly on them, with even more sketches to share that helped me grow.

Ya ever just do fanart of an IP you don't really... know?

Yeah that's this. But I  have an artist alley table at Fanboy Expo in Knoxville, and they've got William Shatner as one of their headliners, so I wanted to do a sticker design!
