My favorite has to be the little firefly grove with the spiral flowers,
Any scene of this small patch of the forest has been so pretty 🥹

A gift piece for Kishiko's 3rd Anni-birthday.

A portrait, half-body illustration of Kishiko Bushido. Kishiko is a Half Kitsune with orange hair & ears, green eyes, a green dress with rope lining, a blue-and-white underdress with ruffles, and an Inari Key attached to her side with an extra rope. Her arms are raised half-way, conjuring green magical "foxfire" from both hands. The foxfire swirls around her in a fashion almost akin to a magical scarf (as commonly seen in Asian Mythology). The right hand is raised higher than the other, and Kishiko looks directly at the viewer in a confident, determined smile.

Happy Birthday, #KishikoBushido!

"The shop suddenly movedー
I've no idea where we are,
Or where Kishiko's run off to…

Might as well go search for her,
And bring along what I mean to give!
I wonder why she's taking to long to get back…"

The image is a chibi illustration of Kishiko Bushido (an orange haired fox girl with green eyes. She wears a teal dress with white ruffles, and orange rope lining.)

Kishiko sits in a small, calm, dark grove filled with glowing flowers, butterflies and ambient light blue particles. She smiles gently at one butterfly, which is perched on her finger. A Hightailer (one of Kishiko's followers, dressed in black and teal robes) comes bearing a gift (teal and wrapped with a black ribbon) from behind a tree in the foreground. The Hightailer stands curiously, observing from afar, unnoticed for the moment.

Happy Birthday, #KishikoBushido!

There's so much to prepare!
Gotta clean the shop,
Put out invitationsー

I think I…
I need a moment.

Just…

The image is a full illustration of Kishiko Bushido (an orange haired fox girl with green eyes. She wears a teal dress with white ruffles, and orange rope lining.)

Kishiko sits in front of a clear pool of water, amid a dark forest, with a rock that breaks the surface, creating ripples across it. Atop the rock, a teal butterfly is perched. Kishiko reaches out, gently, tentatively, and curiously. The scene is dark, lit by the butterfly and glowing flowers that grow around Kishiko. Little blue ambient particles linger about, and there are a couple of bushes are around as well, one particularly close in the foreground.

An extreme close-up image of Kishiko (an orange haired fox girl with green eyes). Only the side of her head and her left, glowing eye can be seen, and she raises to the camera a hand with 1 finger raised. The environment surrounding her is a dark forest with glowing flowers.

⭐ Art Keeper's Notes:
We love seeing Kishiko dressed in the cult robe like her Hightailers! Boki is rather quiet, but a long-time follower of Kishiko's, popping up - and popping off when he shows! He deserves many props for the work he's shared over the years.

It's looking like my #VGen will be officially re-open in late October/early November. 🤔
I've done a lot of re-thinking as to what services I want to keep and what to revise, and accordingly have been working on samples.

An achromatic illustration of Jac of JustJacVT; he has elf-like ears and
flowing hair with soft spikes and two small braids dangling from his left ear. He wears a buttoned shirt with a popped collar, and faces the audience lax and friendly with striking red eyes.

An achromatic illustration of Sunhwa. She has tall bangs, a bun shaped like a bowtie, with the rest of her hair cascading behind her. Her top resembles a Korean Hanbok, her chest and waist corseted; throughout her clothing there are motifs of simple flowers. She has large circular glasses, and while she surveys a book and in amber-yellow eyes, looks at the viewer with a smile.

If you have anything you want to leave for me to see on my birthday, make sure you submit it so the team can prep it!

Looks like everyone's really busy this time of year, so not a lot's come in from what I've heard, but I'm excited to see who's made it 🧡

Thank you Log!
Absolutely! I would love the opportunity to design unique pieces of merch, if given the chance. It’s definitely on my bucket list.

Makes me think of how to go about making a custom Norigae…

A few knots and tassels, inspired by Korean Maedeup (knots) and Norigae (decorative tassel pendants) from my personal project.

A screenshot of a large brooch. It has a flower-like shape, and on the center is a Korean Maedeup -- specifically the Dongsimgyeol Maedeup. Hanging from the brooch is a simple Norigae, with a charm in the same floral-like shape as the brooch. The tassel itself is a pale blue.

A screenshot of a simple Norigae hanging from a button. The tassel and the charm above it is a pale blue.

A screenshot of a Norigae hanging from a hole. The Maedeup -- known as an Angyeong Maedeup -- is a pale cyan and the tassel below it has a dark blue gradient. A bead hangs in the middle between the Maedeup and the Norigae.

A screenshot of a large Norigae, hanging from two cords. Above the tassel and the Maedeup -- the Angyeong Maedeup -- is a dark-blue-and-silver charm that looks like a Lilypad. The Maedeup is a pale cyan and the tassel below it has a dark blue gradient. On the side of the tassel is a small charm that resembles a teardrop.

One day I felt really demotivated and stuck and couldn’t get myself to draw.
I decided to walk out for groceries while listening to my character playlists, and I came back home with fresh ideas and motivations.

Sometimes you really do need to step out and get a mental reset.

Happy (belated) Birthday, Undertale.

---

#Undertale #undertale10thanniversary #digitalillustration #digitalpainting

A digital illustration that is roughly painted. The scenery is reminiscent of an iconic image in Undertale's introduction cutscene -- where Frisk finds themself at the bottom of Mount Ebott and the cutscene reveals the height in which they fell -- and features a large cave with stalactites and pillars. The scenery remains the same aside from the taller grass, and in the middle of the ground is a large flower with yellow petals. We see Frisk from behind, sitting next to it and almost reaching to it. A light from the surface shines on the two of them.
