Here's my piece celebrating "The Legend of Pipi" as part of the Indie Hype Zine, the side digital only zine for @indieanimezine.bsky.social ! It's one of my favorite student shorts so I planned out a fun way to illustrate both Pipi and his heroic self which perfectly describes the vibe of the film.

A roughed up anthropormorphic black cat draws childish depictions of his dream heroic self while being surrounded of several visions of him.

I wanted to experiment with the combination of BW and color schemes for this piece to help distinguish the past and the present and I'm happy with how this came out!

I highly recommend checking out this free zine!

Here's the illustration titled "The Pain of Success" I did for Unspoken Thoughts: A Mental Health Zine! I've gone for a more personal route where I had moments of feeling if all the accomplishments are worth the frustration, exhaustion and sometimes physical pain.

A diminutive character is laying on top of black and white scenes of her struggles and frustrations while being surrounded by her accolades like medals, trophies and diplomas
