I'm excited to say that I actually have something for #wipwednesday

It's a new au that's been haunting me with Reiju ending up at Kuraigana during the time skip. As excited as I am, it's gonna have to be on the backburner for a bit cuz I have a gift fic to write first.

Artists! Please show:

💕 the first piece you did in 2025
💕 your favorite piece of the year
💕 your most popular piece
💕 your most recent piece

I'm so happy with what I've drawn this year. Honestly my first Sanji might still be my favorite (he's just so happy), so I picked my favorite to draw.
My first art of the year was the Sanji I drew for Valentines day. He has a limited color palette of mostly warm colors. He wears a pink apron that reads "kiss the cook" and holds a cake decorated with flowers in one hand and a tray of drinks in the other. My favorite is a pencil drawing of my Baldurs Gate design of Sanji. He looks over his shoulder with a serious expression. He's drawn with pink, purple, blue, yellow, and orange pencils. My most popular piece is from MarimoAgent's birthday collab. They drew Zoro and I drew Sanji. I love his hair wrapping all around Zoro's hand. They lay on the grass looking at each other, gentle smiles on their faces. A ring shines from Sanji's necklace. My most recent art is my final piece of the Zoro collab. Zoro balances a large red parasol over his shoulder, looking up with a closed mouth smile. His right hand rests on his swords at his hip. He wears a black kimono with a red and orange dragon surrounded by flames.

My two Zoros for the #zoroartcollab

I find his face hard to draw, so I'm grateful for this collab to get me out of my comfort zone and show some love to one of my favorites. 💚

Zoro wearing a black kimono with a orange dragon and flames on it. He has his right arm resting against his swords, his sleeve hanging down behind him. He holds a large red and white parasol in his left hand, resting against his shoulder. He has a calm closed mouth grin on his face. He has a river twining in the background.

Speaking of pink, have I posted my Perona sketches on here. I really do love a girlie with pink hair. 💕

Panel redrawn of Perona from the One Piece manga. In the left image, perona holds her face in her hand and smiles with her eyes closed. She wears a little crown on her head. In the right, she looks a little upset, her mouth opened and brows furrowed. She holds her umbrella against her shoulder and her stuffed animal in her other hand.

QRP with your pink art 💖

I love drawing with pink, my traditional sketches usually start with pink pencil too.
Digital art of Sanji in a pink apron that reads "kiss the cook". He holds a pink cake decorated with flowers in one hand and a tray of drinks in the other. He smiles with his eyes closed, facing away from a pink sky over the water. A rainbow soul gem with a pink ribbon wrapped around it that says "make a wish". Limited color palette art of pinks and blues. Marco holds a flower crown on his head and smiles. The background is a pink circle with white flowers.

A bonus #wipwednesday because I'm excited about my progress. I'm gonna be sad to say goodbye to Zeff’s point of view.

Since we're all excited for a new Fire Emblem announcement, here's some of my old #fe3h art.

I should draw some more of my favorites sometime soon.
Dimitri looking upward, holding his hand over his face as a tear rolls down his cheek. Pink and purple pencil sketches of Dimitri and Ashe. Both are 3/4 view. Dimitri is stern while Ashe has a small smile on his face Front facing drawings of Edelgard, Dimitri, Claude, and Rhea with the house mascots referenced in the background. These were originally designed for button pins.

Hey look at me actually remembering #wipwednesday for once.

I've been working on a lot of different projects this week, but most surprising is a new one.

☁️ If you see this, post your art with clouds ☁️

It's mostly covered, but these are probably my favorite clouds I've drawn.

Here's my contribution to #AgentsBirthdayCollab2025

Thank you @marimoagent.bsky.social for creating such a fun collab! I was really inspired and went out of my comfort zone a bit here, but I love it.
Digital art of older Zoro and Sanji laying in the grass, holding hands. Zoro is drawn by MarimoAgent and Sanji is drawn by me. Sanji's long hair wraps around Zoro's fingers and curls under his chin. Sanji wears a gold ring on a chain around his neck, matching the one on Zoro's finger.

Congratulations! I'm happy to find you back on this site after I left Twitter.

Your pose reference was the first I found years ago and super helpful in learning to draw anatomy and learn to use references.
Zoro with a jacket slung over his shoulder. He steps forward with a smirk on his face. His shadows bounce off the brick wall behind him. Sanji sits on a brown wooden chair dressed in a red and black suit. He rests his head on his hand and has a small grin as he looks up at the "camera." Pose study of a USJ performer drawn in pink pencil. He looks over his shoulder as he swings his leg upward behind him (cropped in this particular image). Reference study of the One Piece on Ice Sanji, paying special attention to clothing folds. Drawn traditionally with pink, purple, and blue pencil.

A little #wip from last night.

I normally prefer doing my initial sketch on paper, but I'm starting to enjoy how this one is turning out.

Thanks to @blueowlsong.bsky.social for listening to me ramble while I was working on it.

The difference between first and last drawing is crazy. They're both drawn with col-erase pencils too.

I don't know what's wilder to me. The fact that I've finally finished this sketchbook from 2018... or the fact that I actually met my sketchbook goals???

My poses and anatomy have definitely improved and I've drawn different clothing, art styles, and subject matter.
First page of sketchbook with start date May 10, 2018 and end date August 2, 2025. Sketchbook goals are listed underneath: improve poses and anatomy, draw different types of clothes, experiment with art styles and subject matter.

Drew my brother's tiefling bard character the other night. He's the final page in this sketchbook I've been working in since 2018.

Yall the smile on my brother's face when he flipped to his page was priceless.

Pink and purple sketch of a tiefling, a man with horns, pointed ears, a facial scar, and a prominent mustache.
