“Luna’s Grace.” Initially, I was inspired by Alchemised for this piece, but eventually it morphed into something wholly my own. I now cling on to this piece as it embodies so much of what I want to tell in my art as an artist, emotions ranging from longing and melancholy to hope and serenity.

Kaine. 🥀 Sen said he looks both bratty and sad in this and I think my job here is done.

Ciao #portfolioday

I’m Karina Giada, a watercolor book illustrator. Lately, I’ve been deep in the trenches with gothic arches, lady knights, and red dresses.

Any guesses to who it is 🫢

I am living off of crumbs - I read the Cosmopolitan article with @senlinyu.bsky.social yesterday and it had a little treat. I did want to color in her dress but I also couldn't decide on a poison green shade and lost that battle.

“Someday I am going to love him in a moment that isn’t stolen.”

CONGRATULATIONS to our lovely @senlinyu.bsky.social for such exciting news yesterday. I’m still in disbelief that maybe one day, we get to experience all our unraveling emotions again but on the big screen.

“Her eyes were dead. There was no fire in them.”

A quick sketch just to pour more love into Alchemised. @senlinyu.bsky.social recently took pity on me and allowed me to capture Helena with more accuracy. I usually don’t post my digital sketches but I was quite happy with this one.

Kaine Ferron, I promise to try not to be wholly obsessed with you but I am already completely enthralled. Can you hear all of our hearts pounding in unison as we enter September? 🥀

Not everything survived my transatlantic move. Any recommendations for a flatbed scanner?
