Why do I get so many bot account follows on this account?!
I have 800+ followers on my main and it barely gets any. Suspecting it has to do with keywords in my profile text but I don't want people to think that I am also a bot.

I just want to chill over here looking at art when I am overwhelmed

sketch of Nico Yazawa from Love Live. Old artwork.

Same as before but drawn digitally, she has black hair in twin ponytails, red eyes and a pink dress with a hot pink ribbon on the chest

Happy #PortfolioDay (barely). I don't have much new to share because I've spent the last few of weeks converting most of my old art to work at 11x17 for reasons that I might share soon. So here's some of that.

An illustration of Morrigan and Lilith from the DarkStalkers series. Together they are making a heart gesture with their hands and are oriented in opposite directions, with Morrigan right-side up and Lilith upside-down. This piece was originally drawn for the cover of a DarkStalkers Tribute Zine in 2024.

An illustration of Princess Peach dressed in armor. The design is based on some early concept art for Super Mario RPG.

An illustration depicting a moment from the second stage of Taito's RayForce shoot 'em up, "The Gravity of Blue Side". The X-Lay fighter is flying over the occupied Earth and firing homing lasers at the enemy fleet below. The pilot, F-04, has a determined look on her face. Originally illustrated for the Taitronica doujin in 2023.

An illustration of Seth and Eirika from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones in a retro style inspired by the Langrisser series. The armor proportions have been exaggerated to evoke said style.

Also from the same wrestler. The perfect arc described by the ribbons gives me joy.

Japanese wrestler Mizuki in a frilly white outfit and kneesocks, leaping from the top rope with a ribbon-wrapped red mallet, whacking a huge panda (Andreza Giant Panda, to be exact) in the face. This is pure art.

After posting the anti ai Porco Rosso thing on twitter (yeah, my bad) I received a lot of downvotes on my webcomic. I don’t think it deserves such a low rating and would very much appreciate if you can give it 9 or 10 stars 🥹 (only if you like it that much of course)

While a few people liked my "old" style I want to try and go for a more "hand made" feeling in my anime inspired art and also incorporate the kind of style I used as a teenager (inspired by 2000's anime art)

screenshot of two anime art the first is unfinished where the face has been drawn but the left eye is unfinished, it has a sketchy art style. To the right is a fan art of Nico Yazawa from Love Live! doing her Nico Nico Nii pose while wearing a pink idol outfit. Nico has a more digital style than the other image.

Sketch of an elegant girl with a slight smile, wearing glittery makeup and eyeshadow. She has a sparkly butterfly wing hairclip, butterfly brooch on her shoulder, and a long ribbon in her hair. She has long pointed ears, dark skin, and a long ponytail with coily hair texture. Her side bangs have been styled into big curls.

they're making monster rancher too easy these days. back in my day you had to own a physical copy of the best of earth wind and fire on cd in order to get the suezo that looked like the planet. if you wanted a golem in his underwear you had to go buy the abbey road ep by red hot chili peppers

While I do follow a lot of game related accounts, especially indie devs, this account is my "being depressed want to draw cute anime girls while not having to be extremely social" account so to speak and I am sad right now.

Wanted to start sketching on a redraw for the witch in my avatar.
