I forgot how time-consuming making Winamp skins was dgksjhg (Yes I still use Winamp, I'll keep anything that allows customization 😌)

Image description: a screenshot of a skin for Winamp, a music player software, made using an illustration I made of Conway from the Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl anime, in pink, green and white colors. He's sitting on the floor in a relaxed pose with his knees up and one arm resting on one of them, listening to music from a pink MP3 player and wearing matching pink headphones. He has a content expression with his eyes closed and a smile. End description.

Shhh, he's listening to his tunes. 🎶✨ #art #ConwayDay

Image description: a digital illustration of Conway from the Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl anime series in a light color palette that's mostly light pink and green. He's wearing a casual outfit that consists of a light green plaid shirt with short sleeves and light wash slim jeans with the hems cuffed, and pink canvas shoes. He's sitting down with his eyes closed and a smile on his face, listening to music on a pink MP3 player while wearing matching pink headphones. In the background there are three lines of text representing lyrics from "By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~", the first ending theme from the Japanese version of the show, written in Japanese in pink, green and blue, with colorful music notes surrounding them. End description.

QRP with your art that has sunflowers 🌻 #art

Image description: An illustration of Conway from the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl anime series posing in a field of sunflowers in warm lighting, with the colors being mostly greens and yellows. He's smiling at the viewer, gently holding two of them so they lean a bit closer to him, hiding part of his face. Among the sunflowers there's a hidden Sunflora, a sunflower Pokémon. End description.

Image description: A digital bust illustration of Conway from the Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl anime in a watercolor-inspired style. He's looking away from the viewer with a tranquil expression, as his hair and clothing are gently swept by the wind. He's surrounded by yellow and pink strawberry blonde sunflowers. The illustration has a green, pink, white and warm color palette, so Conway is wearing a different outfit that suits said palette: a breathable, slightly oversized white T-shirt. End description.

I don’t record my process but I wanted to try making a gif with WIPs I saved from time to time and I think it works okay!

Laura 👓✨@nerdinsandals· Jun 27

Well look who finished something! I saw this outfit in the background of a YouTube video and I thought it was *so Misty* I had to draw her in it haha #art #anipoke

Image description: a digital illustration of Misty from the Pokémon anime series. She's a young red-headed girl with short hair tied into a high side ponytail. Instead of her regular outfit, she's wearing a pink beret, a navy blue short skirt with pink heart buttons, and a white shirt that has the text "la piscine" ("the swimming pool" in French) spelled in three different fonts. She's doing a peace sign with both hands and winking at the camera with her tongue sticking out in a cutesy manner. End description.

It was nice to hear the Fuecoco song again! #Anipoke

These have to be the most detailed eyes I've seen in all of Anipoke. Not even the closeups of Liko's eyes that they used in the openings were this carefully drawn. Absolutely gorgeous artwork. 💖

Image description: a screenshot from the Pokémon Horizons anime showing a closeup shot of Liko's misty eyes as she gently looks at her Pokémon that's out of the frame, in warm sunset lighting. Her eyes are drawn in a more detailed way than usual, with more visible eyelashes, a textured iris, and lots of golden light sparkles. End description.

Pass it along, let's see your pfp in its full sized glory!✨ It was a piece meant for last year's Conway Day that I never finished (it was going to have a few more elements around the character), but it was finished enough to use as an icon and I needed a new one anyway soooo yeah 😌 #art

Image description: a digital illustration of Conway, a character from the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl anime series, in bright, saturated colors. He's a preteen/teen character with shoulder-length dark green hair and black rectangular glasses, smirking confidently at the viewer with his chin resting on his hand. The background is a colorful checkerboard, with every other square showing different expressions of the character from the show. End description.

Every time I check my socials without fail lol

Image description: a screenshot from a collaboration campaign between the Muppets and Love Magazine. The back of the image shows Miss Piggy and Beaker dancing with supermodels while wearing fluffy and colorful winter clothes. Meanwhile, at the forefront of the photo on the right, Sam the Eagle is giving them the side-eye, looking bitter, while also wearing fluffy and colorful clothes.

There's text on top of the image added by me that reads as follows:

(Text placed over Miss Piggy and Beaker) "People playing Pokopia"
(Text placed over Sam the Eagle) "Me, jealous but ultimately happy for them because the game looks so delightful and I get to vicariously enjoy it through what they post. Still jealous tho"

This is one of the best things you can do to keep yourself motivated! Become obsessed with a character, a concept, a theme, a creature, you name it, and just draw them over and over. Who cares? :P Here's my very first iteration of the original Coordinator Conway design vs. the most recent!

Image description: A graphic that compares two drawings of my Coordinator Conway design based on the character from the Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl series of the same name. He's wearing a fancy dark coat with light taupe and gold accents, and a white jabot with a brooch that resembles his partner Pokémon, Dusknoir, and his hair tied into a ponytail. The drawing on the left is labeled with the year 2014, while the one on the right is from 2024. End description.

It's my birthday~ 🎉✨🎉✨🎉✨

Image description: A screenshot of Conway from the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl anime series' very first appearance. He has a sinister smile and his eyes are eclipsed by the glare on his glasses. He's holding a card with a number 9 on it. The screenshot has some digital birthday stickers slapped on top of it: some colorful letter balloons that spell out "happy birthday", a realistic hamster holding a birthday cake and star-shaped balloons. End description.

I wasn't able to finish a lot of artwork this year but I'm pretty happy with what I could complete! Due to my injury there are quite a few WIPs I need to get back to and I'm excited about those, so hopefully you'll get to see them soon enough! Happy 2026! ⭐✨ #art #artsummary #artsummary2025

Image description: An image graphic that shows a collection of artworks made this year, one per each month. The last three months are left empty, with the following texts filling each space:

October: "I hurt my wrist this month, oops (lots of unfinished WIPs"
November: "Still healing so I didn't even touch the WIPs lol"
December: "HEALED! But still couldn't draw much so WIPs remain unfinished"

On the left side of the image, there's the text "2025 summary" at the top, my username and icon in the middle, and the text "template by aisawa_02111" at the bottom.

End description.

Welcome back artists!🪡🎨✨️ Quote Post with an old piece that you still like! ✧✧✧ This piece is almost a year old now but I'm still proud of how it turned out 💜💎

$Image description: An illustration of Amethio from the Pokémon Horizons anime series. He's looking down with a frustrated expression as he's being expelled from his team, the Explorers. The lighting is dramatic, with the character being mostly in the dark and lit only by a purpleish pink light coming from his right side. Some of the light peeks through the white half of his hair, making it look as if it was glowing, while the black half of his hair remains mostly in the dark. Overlaid on top of Amethio, there's a broken glass effect, with the fracture lines converging on the gem Amethio wears on his collar. Each piece of the broken glass shows the reflection of a member of the Explorers reacting to the situation: Hamber is looking away with a subtle yet still sorrowful look on his face; Coral is looking at Amethio from the side, saddened; Sidian, like Coral, feels saddened and skeptical; Spinel shows confidence with a self-satisfied smirk; Chalce appears neutral, but the corners of her mouth are very slightly upturned, indicating she's also satisfied with this outcome. The last piece of glass shows the reflection of Gibeon's eye, sending a piercing look of disappointment at his grandson. End description.$

I'm a bit embarrassed to say it took me this long to notice that Dot's hair has a little highlight in the shape of the katakana for "do" (ド) in her time skip design haha It's a cute little detail!

Laura 👓✨@nerdinsandals· Nov 3

This was the second time I tried rendering in grayscale first! Painting with values is something I'm still learning about, but it's so fun to play around with lighting using grays and then see the whole thing come to life when you add the colors (and make some very needed adjustments)!

Image description: Same Conway illustration as above, but in black and white. End description.

A thank you note for @itstimetodrew.bsky.social for a very generous Ko-fi donation! 🌹💚 This piece is a bit older than the already older art I'm currently posting but I still really like it. :> #art #anipoke #pokemonart #アニポケ

Image description: an illustration of Drew from the Pokémon Advanced anime series. He's gently looking at the viewer standing next to a tall bush of red roses, leaning into it a little bit so some of the roses and leaves rest on his head. The lighting is soft and warm. End description.

I redrew Leorio in the middle of the process because I wanted to push the expression a bit more, so here's the comparison between the two versions! I like how he went from a pouty "Seeeee? I told you this was the answeeeer >:c" to "I TOLD YOU!!1 I TOLD YOU IT WAS 7 YOU FREAKING @#$%&!!"

Image description: A comparison between two versions of Leorio's face from the illustration described above. On the left, Leorio's face is pouting, his eyes look more calm and his mouth is smaller, looking more upset than annoyed. The one on the right shows him clearly angrier, with a more intense expression, eyes wide open and yelling. End description.

Leorio and Kurapika are trying to help Gon with his pile of homework, but they keep getting a bit too worked up over it to be of any real help lol This is a piece I drew for a HxH fanzine a few years ago. :> #art #hunterxhunter #HUNTER×HUNTER #hxh #イラスト

Image description: An illustration of Gon, Killua, Kurapika and Leorio from the Hunter X Hunter manga and anime series. The characters are all hanging out in Gon's room, with Leorio and Kurapika standing behind Gon, arguing over the result of a math problem. Kurapika looks annoyed at Leorio, while Leorio is yelling at him, holding up a calculator with his right hand and pointing at the result on the screen with the other. Gon is sitting between the two of them, confused and overwhelmed, and resting his chin against the math book on his desk and looking at a page he doesn't quite understand. Meanwhile, Killua is chilling on Gon's bed holding his phone with his right hand, taking a break from looking at it to instead enjoy the chaotic company of his friends, amused by the situation.

✨Welcome to the Trick Room!✨ Out of all the moves that Conway introduced, Trick Room has to be one of the coolest, imo. Can't believe it was only used twice in the anime! #art #anipoke #pokemonart #アニポケ

Image description: An illustration of Conway from the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl anime series. He has a confident and determined expression on his face, and he's extending his left hand towards the viewer while holding an open Pokéball on his right hand. A beam of multi-colored light is coming out of the Pokéball and surrounding Conway, as his hair and jacket blow in the wind. End description.

Image description: An illustration of Ivan from the video game Golden Sun on a neutral white background with a lilac square that frames the head of the character. He's smiling while looking over his shoulder to the left, holding his staff with both hands. End description.

A Drew with his Butterfree that I drew a few years ago for Drew Day 🌹🦋✨ #art #anipoke #pokemonart #アニポケ

Image description: An illustration of Drew from the Pokémon Advanced anime series playing with his Butterfree, a butterfly Pokémon, at sundown. He's smiling gently at Butterfree, gesturing with his left hand as Butterfree flies in front of him, releasing some of its wing scales into the air, which glow with the low sun shinning through them.

I'm getting new glasses so here's a Conway wearing one of the glasses from the Jins × Pokémon collab from a few years ago. :> I gave him the Snorlax model because the color looked just right! #art #anipoke #pokemonart #アニポケ

Image description: An illustration of Conway from the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl anime series in a limited green and yellow color palette. He's posing with his chin resting on his left hand and looking smugly at the viewer. Instead of his usual black, rectangular glasses, he's wearing trendy rounder glasses with a dark green translucent frame. End description.

⭐Dawn in her blue Coordinator dress!⭐ Based on this shirt I drew for Conway. [On Reddbubble]

Image description: An illustration of Dawn from the Pokémon anime series. She's striking a pose, smiling and winking at the viewer. Her oufit is a dress in a gradient of colors from white at the top to sky blue in the middle to dark blue in the skirt, with white ruffles across the hem of the skirt, a pearl belt tied with a dark blue ribbon on her waist, and dark blue gloves with with gold celestial-themed accessories in the shapes of moons and stars.

People liked that my bias was clearly on display in the WIP so here's the sketch vs. the final side by side 😆

Image description: A work in progress of the illustration above. All the characters are only sketches with a single color under the lines, making them look like cutouts. Each character has different levels of detail, with Conway standing out as the most detailed of them all. End description.

Image description: A digital fan illustration depicting Ash from the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl anime series with his main rivals in the Sinnoh League behind him (Conway, Barry, Paul, Nando, and Tobias, in ascending order). He's looking forward with a serious, determined expression, adjusting the brim of his hat with his left hand. His partner Pikachu is on his right shoulder, with an expression that matches his.

The background shows the aforementioned rivals in an ascending composition that leads to the Sinnoh League flame that inaugurates the event. Conway is holding his glasses with a smirk on his face, Barry is holding a Pokéball in one hand and clenching his other fist with an excited expression, Paul has a serious look and his arms crossed, Nando is pointing forward with a confident expression, and Tobias is standing with his hair and cloak blowing in the wind with a serious face. Next to him, on the other side of the canvas, there's a projection of his companion, the Legendary Pokémon Darkrai, in the sky in the background, looming over everybody as the ultimate threat.
