ArtFight Attack #2 - Andreasthel & Belthor✨ Characters belong to ZauriArt on AF! My sanity and 500 layers were sacrificed for this piece, but I'm extremely proud of the result 🔥 #artfight | #artfight2026 | #rosehikariart ⊹ ˖ . ݁

✦ More old art! I used to paint a lot of animals and creatures, a bit less today but I miss it so I think it's something I will learn to do again 😊 #art | #oc | #illustration | #rosehikariart ⊹ ˖ . ݁

(Very) old FF14 art I've made that I still love very much (despite the obvious mistakes in it). I don't think I'll ever redraw this AU concept of Zedkiel because it's outdated, but I remember spending so much time on it and being really proud of the result! #FF14art | #FF14 | #rosehikariart ⊹ ˖ . ݁

ArtFight Revenge #1 - Mango ✨ Character belongs to GhostDogArt on AF! I love Wings of Fire characters so it was nice drawing one for the occasion 😊 #artfight | #artfight2026 | #rosehikariart ⊹ ˖ . ݁

ArtFight Attack #1 - Ateris, the Earthen Light ✨ Character belongs to kurizeria! #artfight | #artfight2026 | #rosehikariart ⊹ ˖ . ݁

Thank you ♡

✦ Art progress! I'm finally on vacation, which means more time to draw, and I have a lot planned for next month, I'll talk about it in the coming days \o/ I can't wait to finish this piece too! Have a Yuè for now 😊 #art | #wipart | #OC | #rosehikariart ⊹ ˖ . ݁

✦ The hair was the longest/most difficult part of the process, she is lying in the water so it needed to float in many directions. I'm happy with the result, I think the effect looks nice 😁

✦ Startouch ✦ A gpose commission for @lilastrologian.bsky.social , thank you so much for your trust 🌌 I loved working on it and bringing your ideas to life! Process in replies ~ #gposers #gpose ⊹ ˖ . ݁

Better late than never to start contributing to a fandom that I love ✨ I wanted to make my own interpretation of his design for weeks, will surely make my own design for Avery later too ~ #sfawtde | #d3rlord3 | #dawtde | #rosehikariart ⊹ ˖ . ݁

✦ Cosmos - VFX aura commission - for Syraa 🌌 This set is probably one of the biggest VFX projects I've ever done for someone. The wings, halo and ground effects are drawn and represent multiple days of work. I'm very happy with the result ☄️ (bonus point: celestial theme!)

✦ Yuè, Isma & Liu ✦ Currently just a wip/sketch, I have plans to paint and render this piece fully but I didn't want to wait so have the concept for now ✨ #art | #wipart | #OC | #rosehikariart ⊹ ˖ . ݁

✦ At first, the galaxy background wasn't meant to be part of the composition, but it all came naturally so I kept going with it. Sometimes I think it's nice to just create something that feels more simple and poetic, as a way to keep my mind off things for a bit ✨

✦ Silence beyond the stars ✦ I think my moth OC is one of the most artistic characters in my collection, she is like a canvas. I wanted to gpose her in a simple composition with a background that I would paint entirely, I'm happy with the result ☄️ Process in replies ~ #gposers #gpose ⊹ ˖ . ݁

✦ Of Fire and Lightning - Illustration commission This piece represents a week of work and was also my first time rendering a wolf in 4 years, so a real challenge 🔥 I am going to draw a lot in the coming months so expect a lot of art posts!!! 😊 #art | #commission | #rosehikariart ⊹ ˖ . ݁

✦ Ice Heart - Weapon set VFX commission - For Veil ❄️ My last weapon set for a little while, and also my very first time making something ice themed. For a first, I think it went well and I'm happy with the result 😊 Next posts will be art/gpose centered mostly!

When I have a project in mind and know at ~ 60-70% I can achieve it, I think I am unstoppable. The idea came suddenly, it was not a planned project, but the result brings me so much joy I am so glad I chose to do it. It feels very rewarding! 😊

✦ My purpose with VFX: give life to all my ideas ✨ This one is so different from all my other VFXs, probably one of the most complex too... I drew everything and it was also my first time recreating architecture. WWM was the inspiration, some will surely recognize the idea ☄️ Second version vvvvvv

✦ A million stars - Weapon set VFX commission - For Nolina 🌌 This one is a few months old but (because my memory is terrible) I forgot to showcase it. Today, it is still one of my favorite sets with the amount of colors/effects used (... and of course, celestial/cosmic vibes!) 👀💫

✦ Azem's legacy - weapon VFX (WHM/DNC) commission - For @kanrakuen.bsky.social ✨ One of the best aesthetics I had the chance to work with! They were so fun to do and I'm happy with the result 😊 (Did you recognize the key and portal pattern on the WHM weapon? 👀)

More VFX! ✨ This time for my moth character! At first I just wanted to give her wings, but then I started making a more complex aura following the 2 themes that represent her: time / celestial, and also added VFX on the dress itself, as Jaque's recent outfit inspired me 😊

✦ I am including the individual images, as well as the full process panel! This project took ~ 2 days of work to be complete, I included as much lore and references as I could 😊 ✦ The text is from Vysie as well, rewritten from my words to make it sound better!

✦ Darkness unto Light ✦ Gpose commission - For @vysiealarune.bsky.social ✨ It's special because it's the first time I was commissioned to create something with lore + including one of my characters in the process. Thank you so much for your trust <3 Process in replies! #gposers #gpose ⊹ ˖ . ݁

✦ For this composition, I built the entire scenery myself and painted most of it. I really wanted to create something that could show how powerful and unique this character is, I'm happy with the result! 😊

✦ Full Moon ✦ Gpose commission - For @malair.bsky.social 🌕 Thank you for your trust! I had a lot of fun creating this composition and working with this character! It's an aesthetic I don't use often and it makes me want to create a vampire OC for myself... Process in replies ~

The harp was ported by Priestess and I did the VFX! The VFX is a mix of custom elements, some made from scratch and reworked parts that I found in game. At first it was a study but later became more as I added more and more elements to build a proper scenery around it 💙

If anyone told me I would add VFX to a harp one day... ✨ It took ~ 8 hours of work but I'm really proud of it and how I left my comfort zone. Whenever I am entrusted with a project like that, no matter the amount of work required, it's always worth it for me and special 💛 Second version in reply!
