Thank you to everyone who came out to my first Otakon! It was great to be back on the east coast! Special shoutout to everyone who helped me out during my times of trouble! 😭💖 I was a mess this past weekend, but so many of you made this weekend worthwhile!

A lot of headlines created by rich people being big mad about this.

Thank you, everyone, for coming out to #Otakon! Sorry for the lack of Internet for the first day! I was not expecting it, so I'm so sorry for those who weren't able to purchase my work. ☹️ Commissions from Day 1: #Flins from #Genshin Impact and a couple of awesome OCs, whom were great to draw!

I'm at #Otakon for the weekend! I'm at Table B206 in #ArtistAlley, in the middle of the aisle on the far side! I was able to fit as much as I can on the table, but I do have other merch available (in other sizes)! Just ask!

A screenshot of my artist alley table with orange and black Tablecloth, orange leaves and flowers, various sizes of original and fanart prints, charms, stickers, and books, a bin with original art, and a sign with prices listed.

I'm at Otakon this weekend! It has been about more than 5 years ago since I have been back to the East Coast (after the last con in the area, one month later, Covid happened. 😅) (*note: Disregard the misspelling of Atelier - I rushed writing this! 😭)

A description of an anime con called Otakon for a 3-day event this weekend at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Brief glimpses of some new fanart and original art, along with a small map with a red circle around a Table B206.

New sticker design! Based sort of from the last challenge (of course, bo armor, but I still wanted to do this.) Sorry for lack of posts! I have been tired and working over time, so my brain is out of it.

Lastly and with a ton of detail: Arcane #Mermay: Death This was fun! I might be planning to make this series into an art book cause it was fun, but it will be on the back burner for now. #illustration

(Will post the last Arcane Mermay tomorrow! Lots of stuff happened, so I haven't been able to work on it.) Here is a commission that I worked on: A beautiful D&D sorcerer named Epicaste with a mercury-brimmed hat and water-based staff! I had a lot of fun with drawing so many details!
