Hello and happy #Portfolioday 🎨

I'm Rachel, a digital artist, character designer, and illustrator with a passion for animation and world building. My style is inspired by cartoons, films, video games, and anime throughout the decades.

Five people are crowded around a black desk that has a monitor, a tablet, and a laptop on it in front of a teal background. Two characters on the left are looking at the monitor and the tablet respectively with delighted expressions. The person in the middle is looking at the tablet in calm contemplation while holding a pen in hand. The two characters on the right are fighting over the laptop, with the character on the left pulling the character on the right away from it by the shoulder while the other character glares at her and elbows her in the waist.

Four characters, one pink, one blue, one purple, and one orange, sitting on a couch in a room with teal wallpaper and sandy yellow carpet. The wallpaper has a darker sparkling pattern, and there are three posters and a first place ribbon on the wall.

To the left of the couch is a bookshelf with space on the top and three shelves. There is a pair of headphones on top, four books and a microphone on the first shelf, a crystal spire and a space shuttle on the second shelf, and a bottle of fruit juice on the third shelf.

There is a closed white door to the right of the couch and near the fourth character and the door handle is out of frame.

A piece with a day/night juxtaposition, with the left half resembling a pine forest at night while the right side resembles pastel-colored forest filled with crystals during the day.

On the left side is a Star, pink forest fairy, glowing against the background with proud tears in her eyes as she holds hands with Prismoth, the blue-and-white moth on the right. Prismoth is looking at Star confidently, thankful for everything Star has done for her.

A purple woman wearing a tattered purple shirt, jeans that are torn at the knees, and fuzzy gray boots. She is standing straight with a leg pointed to the side, smugly looking ahead as her left hand rests on her chin and her right hand rests on her hip. She is standing in front of a dark purple background with four lilac stars behind her.

On the right are several fact about her character, such as her name (Shadow), age (1228 years old), pronouns (She/Her), height (5'06"/1.68 meters), home district (Blacklight), sexuality (Aromantic Asexual), likes (too many to list), dislikes (too many to list), and two facts about her. Due to reaching the alt text character limit when listing specifics for previous character sheets, the same may happen here.

I can elaborate with specifics for certain sections upon request.

For sure! I don’t have to rush those either. My Halloween piece was down to the wire, so I was so glad I finished it on time 😌

Happy Halloween Everybody! 👻🎃🦇

I haven't released a Halloween piece in four years but today's a special occasion; it's the 50th anniversary of "Bohemian Rhapsody."

My parents are both Queen fans so I listened to their music growing up. Here's my take on the iconic photo with my OCs

A recreation of the iconic Bohemian Rhapsody image with four of my characters; Aqua is on the bottom middle, Nimbus is in the second row on the left, Cithera is in the second row on the right, and Lylatt is in the top middle.

You can’t remove edge but you can uninstall OneDrive. It’s not hard to do 👍🏻

Arrow Archivist Ray 🎨 @arrowarchive.bsky.social · 7d

I’m an artist under 1K and I just reblogged/retweeted (whatever the term is) this to other artists who might also be under 1K.

You are doing a service, my friend 🤝

I had to disable OneDrive on my laptops because not only did it slow things to a crawl, but when I started coding locally hosted websites, OneDrive fucked up my file paths and made pushing new code ten times harder 😡

Safe to say, my personal PC is OneDrive free for a reason

As someone who currently works in retail where most products blatantly advertise what they do or don’t have:

What the actual fuck.

Arrow Archivist Ray 🎨 @arrowarchive.bsky.social · 7d

I’m a 5 at most. I can be assertive and out of pocket sometimes, but I never mean any harm.

If I’m angry about something, I try avoiding social media so I won’t do something I’ll regret.

That aside, I’m a 3 or 4.

real and true

An edited tweet from Coffee Spoonie that reads:

I want to be extremely close about: I never *don't* want to be asked about my OC

it is never a bad or inappropriate time for OC questions

I will never be displeased by questions about my OC

at no point in my life will I ever be like "no thank u, i don't want to talk about my character right now"

I’ll give it a look, I didn’t know it was compatible with BlueSky.

What I like about Bluedeck is the ability to include hashtags in a post without hogging the character limit. I wonder if Postybirb does the same 🤔

This is the artistic equivalent of “he who smelt it dealt it.”

People will accuse us of faking our skills despite being fakers themselves. Typical.

Great comic, show ‘em who’s boss! 👏🏻

I’ve been thinking of using a scheduler for my artwork. I’d have to pay to use the one for BlueSky’s deck, but it’s not much.

It could make things a lot easier on my end 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m gonna lock in the next three days and aim to get my Halloween piece done.

I’m at the final stretch, it’s only a matter of time 😃

Uzi and N have the best morning routines: they’re living under the same roof (albeit different rooms), the first people they see are each other, and la creatura (Cyn) is the honorary alarm clock.

All that’s left is a blanket fort and decorations for N’s room 💛💜
