A little piece inspired by Kafka's Metamorphosis.

「The best sleeping spot... 」

This look was achieved by following an amazing tutorial from @Summer85 on YouTube. Definitely check out his channel.

Absolutely fell in love with the world of TUNIC. Its mix of cozy exploration and tough-as-nails combat inspired this piece.

「Shadow of the Spring」

"Little girl, little girl,
What’s in your brew?
Wriggly worms in a muddy stew,
Roly-polies dancing too,
Topped with candy, pink and blue —
That’s what makes a girl like you!"

Some thoughts about mushrooms in my world-building. Fairy ring could be the portal to travel, glow mushroom is useful for lighting tools, and some spooky tales to horrify people not eat mushrooms. What do you think?

I was told that my art reminded them of Made in Abyss. I am so glad to hear that. I am trying to express some dark experiences cutely and colorfully. I like the contrast haha.

The giant has fallen. Once towering and mighty, her body now lies still in the heart of the forest. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting shifting shadows on her scarred skin, as if the earth itself is quietly mourning her passing. Her soul has moved on, but her body remains—a feast for the forest.

In the hushed stillness, tiny Aromaling seedlings begin to gather. Wrapped in their seed-like forms, they are drawn to the scent of carrion, slowly surrounding the giant. More and more arrive, forming a silent, almost ceremonial gathering, like an ancient festival held in nature’s honor.

Here, death is not an end—it is a new beginning. The giant’s body sinks into the earth, nourishing the next generation. The forest returns to its quiet rhythm, and the wind whispers through the trees: Life goes on.

A crowd of tiny Aromaling seedlings demanding your attention—adorable, chaotic, and maybe just a little too needy. 🌱✨

#art #oc #digitalart #illustration #fantasycreature #decayart

Aromaling babies begin their lives in the form of seeds. To aid their growth, elder Aromalings dress the seedlings in special "carrion wraps," providing essential nutrients for their development. Over time, the seeds absorb these nutrients, sprout, and grow. Once they reach a certain stage, the seedlings naturally evolve into distinct forms based on their unique personalities and talents: the steadfast and courageous Garliclings, the warm and nurturing Gingerlings, or the wise and contemplative Staranlings.

Happy riding, and may the wind (and Shellby) carry you to great adventures! 🐌✨

「Shellby」
Give Shellby’s shell a gentle tap, or call out, “Let’s roll, Shellby!” He’ll begin gliding smoothly—unless he’s feeling lazy, in which case a snack bribe works wonders

I will dedicate myself to developing this little original story about a world where plants reign in the next few months. Before that, my New Year's wish is that humanity doesn’t destroy itself in 2025.
