8. What is your favourite piece that you have done?

these two are definitely the ones i think are the qualitative best pieces of mine and ones where i go damnn did /i/ really do that?? probably my favorite ones tho every drawing of koya is out to take the cake because of my bias ehehehehe 💕❤️
a digital drawing of takane enomoto from the kagerou project wearing headphones and holding a phone in front of her face. on the phone screen we can see the face of her counterpart ene smiling as well as some glitching error signs. in contrast to that we can see tears flowing down takane's face from behind the phone. she is wearing an orange-brown cardigan over a white shirt. the background of the drawing is a simple bright yellow color. a digital illustration of an anime boy version of youtuber technoblade. he is standing, looking over his shoulder to the viewer. with an arm possibly made from ivory covered in blue markings he is holding a golden bird cage in which is a white bird skelleton surrounded by a black smokey silhouette. two more cages like this with different animals can be seen in the fore- and background. techno is wearing a white shirt with wide ruffled sleeves, a black corset that is wrapped with many many jewelry chains that adorn his waist and reflect the lighting. he is also wearing a white mask with blue markings similar to a white-blue porcelain plate. the mask and his face, tusk and ears have golden markings like when a broken plate is repaired with gold. his eyes aren't really vible as they just glow a bright golden-white color. his ears are pointy, fade to black at their tips and are adorned with more golden jewelry including a sparkling green emerald. his pink hair is waist length and open behind his body. in the backgroun are chains hanging from above. techno's body is brightly lit and his body practically glowing. at the same time the background is a very dark blue making it look a bit like he's solely illuminated in a dark room.

5. Do you practice other styles/have you tried other styles in the past?

while i always craved the anime art style i did have a roughly semi-realism arc when i was deep into kpop lol and i also have a painterly style i use occasionally (rarely lol)

here the side by side comparison🔥
3 art pieces by me. the left one is a vaguely semi-realistic drawing of a young man with brown hair, glasses and a red scarf in a brown jacket standing in the snow. the drawing in the middle is a kind of royal portrait painted style showing a young man with pink hair, a crown anf a red cape holding a heavy sword in front of him. the last drawing is of my oc koya in my normal style similar to an anime art style with his hands in front of his face. he has blond hair, piercing green eyes and a green shirt.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIHU !!

from all your hyungs to the cutest maknae 😙💕

[ #art #ocsky #oc #CM16 ]
a monochrome digital sketch page with a bunch of drawings of my oc sihu. on the left there is a full body piece of him waving at the viewer while wearing a hoodie. his stage name 'sihu' and his real name 'lee sihoo' above. next to it is him looking over his shoulder saying "hyung, go buy us snacks!" with someone responding "eh?!" underneath. sihu's eyes become large and sparkly puppy eyes and he has dog ears now as he continues "pretty please?" and the voice responds "omg okay, okay!!". then there is a cute drawing of him wearing a sailor uniform and poking his cheek with a bright smile and a mic in his hand. below is him sitting and sulking with an angry expression on his face. above that is a speech bubble of someone comparing him to a puppy. at the bottom of the page is him leaning sideways wearing what might be a school uniform with a tie but with shorts. next to it is him sitting crosslegged and taking a selfie. there is a heart next to him. additionally on the page are a little plushie/chibi version of him looking cute and another angry looking puppy.

mostly oc stuff here if you're interested 😙
a digital drawing of my oc hyeonu holding a decorated bluish-pink cake with strawberries, the words "Happy Birthday Hyeonu" written on it, as well as a single candle burning in its middle. Hyeonu is grinning at the viewer, his face illuminated by the candle. He wears a birthday hat on his dark, styled hair, and a white hoodie. The background wall is a blueish-purple with some letters from a birthday garland hanging into the frame. it's very much referencing typical kpop idol birthday photos. snippet of a drawing of my oc koya wearing pink heart-shapes glasses and throwing a finger heart at the viewer as he winks. part of a digital illustration of an anime boy version of youtuber technoblade. he is standing, looking over his shoulder to the viewer. with an arm possibly made from ivory covered in blue markings he is holding a golden bird cage in which is a white bird skelleton surrounded by a black smokey silhouette. two more cages like this with different animals can be seen in the fore- and background. techno is wearing a white shirt with wide ruffled sleeves, a black corset that is wrapped with many many jewelry chains that adorn his waist and reflect the lighting. he is also wearing a white mask with blue markings similar to a white-blue porcelain plate. the mask and his face, tusk and ears have golden markings like when a broken plate is repaired with gold. his eyes aren't really vible as they just glow a bright golden-white color. his ears are pointy, fade to black at their tips and are adorned with more golden jewelry including a sparkling green emerald. his pink hair is waist length and open behind his body. in the backgroun are chains hanging from above. techno's body is brightly lit and his body practically glowing. at the same time the background is a very dark blue making it look a bit like he's solely illuminated in a dark room.

the escaped prophetess 🩸

(aka daiki's mother throughout the years)

[ #art #ocsky #oc ] 🕰️🌸
3 designs on a gray background. They are the same woman once as a young woman, once at around 35-40 years old and once at around 65. the first one is her with wild purple hair covered in jewely. she is bent over and looks exhausted, her make-up smudged around her pinkish-red eyes. she has black horns and is clothed in black and grayish sheer robes that hang down to the ground. her feet are bare. the second one is her looking elegant and beautiful with her purple hair up and adorned with jewelry and red roses. her long dress is tight around her hips and thighs and opens up flowingly at her knees. the dress has a white to red gradient. on top of the dress she is wearing a short top in red fabric with pink flowers embroidered. the third design is visibly older looking with her hair now partially gray, and her dress in black and red layered fabrics having a more regal and nearly military vibe. she is still covered in jewerly and is now using a dark and equally fancily decorated cane.

part of a digital headshot drawing of my oc koya intensely staring right at the viewer with piercing green eyes and hands with black nail polish covering his mouth. he is blond and wears a green shirt. black jewelry is hanging from his pointy ears. the lighting comes quite dramatically from above. the image has an overall orange tint to it. part of a digital fullbody drawing of my oc kei standing sideways to the viewer, looking at them. the piece looks a bit like a magazine cover. her pink hair is flowing in the wind to the left and her long brown skirt follows the direction as well. she wears a white shirt and blue, brown, white sneakers with pink accents as well as a brown beret. a blue bag is hanging at her side, adorned with a small plush bunny keychain. kei is smiling softly at the viewer. behind her, on a brownish-pink background, are the word "autumnal fashion" and further below "with kei by colormints" written in a white font. part of a digital headshot drawing of my oc Daiki (he/they) looking at the viewer, his face mostly in shadow with a yellow light illuminating the left side. he has brown hair with a light pink strand, pink-ish eyes and pointy ears that are pierced. He also has black snake-bite piercings. Their clothes consist of a pink hoodie and a blue bandana wrapped over a large scar on their throat. The background consists of vague brown and green smoke and particles. a black and white manga style drawing of two panels showing my ocs. separately on the left is my oc koya with his hands in front of his mouth, grinning and with sparkling eyes and surroundings. he is saying "am i really this great?" the second panel shows kei and daiki glancing at koya, kei smiling with a bit of a crazy look in her eyes while daiki looks a bit troubled. they are accompanied by a text box saying "what a dumbass" with an emoji.
