Day 8
An artwork of my space girl for a sticker design this year. My friend, @armatages.bsky.social did the rings and planets ^^

#ArtAdventCalendar #mkArt #OCsky #OCart #OriginalCharacter
An illustration of a space themed character circled by rings of planets and stars. She has a serious and mysterious expression and is holding a planet that is hanging from one of the rings on her fingers. Her bat wings help make the frame.

A sketchy styled chibi of Maryanne, a magical girl mother. She's drawn in her frilly magical girl outfit, pink with so many hearts, holding a staff that is conjuring a river of water to help do the dishes. As any magical girl might if she was also a loving mother.

Day 5
I almost forgot to post! This Madoka print I did for conventions came together exactly how I imaged and it made me so happy haha The text is the title of the last episode

#ArtAdventCalendar #MadokaMagica #FanArt #mkArt #AnimeArt
An illustration featuring Madoka and Homura from Madoka Magica. Madoka is in her goddess form and lifting upwards, a hand reaching with minimal effort towards Homura. Her dress is billowing out against a matching starry background. Homura is below her, falling away and desperately reaching for Madoka's hand. Her braids are unravelling. The text "You are my Best Friend..." runs along the background panel of stars.

Day 4!
This was such a fun commission! I originally drew it as a joke sketch for some friends, and then got paid to upgrade it ^^

#ArtAdventCalendar #MKart #FFXIVart
My FFXIV character, Xarann, alongside my friends' characters, Thomas and Bobba Bee, fishing up the Nepto Dragon together in the rain. Thomas and Bobba Bee are shocked to see what sort of monstrosity they are reeling in, while Xarann is excited to finally catch it.

The world cutest beholder with a heart on her face, a toothy grin, and a large pink eye. A flamingo wearing pilot goggles on their head. A mousy little cleric is in prayer. She wears a celestial veil and accessories. A cat person dressed in armour and a heroic cloak.

Day 2
I did several large papercraft pieces this year, but this one of Mythril is easily my favourite. Her hair piece was difficult to cut out, but I love how the end result looks.

#ArtAdventCalendar #MKart #Papercraft #OCsky #oc #OCart #originalCharacter
A papercraft of my OC Mythril. Her outfit and hair are made out of several colourful and patterned papers to show her sitting while wearing a kimono and sandals. Her hair is pinned up with a floral kanzashi. A close up of the same papercraft showing the details in her hand drawn face and the many flowers cut from different paper to make her hair piece.

It's time for #ArtAdventCalendar !! I'll use it as an excuse to reflect on the year as a whole again. Here's one of the first things I finished in 2025! It was drawn to be an updated commission sample.

#MKart #FFXIV #FFXIVart
An illustration of my character, Xarann, in his FFXIV form drawn in a lineless, limited palette style. He's dressed in a casual sort of armour, with plenty of buckles and belts on the jacket, and jumping while holding a scythe.

#MKart #TTRPG #TTRPGart
A commission featuring several characters from a magical girl spoof drawn in a style similar to that of sailor moon and other 90s anime. The titular Faye is posed front and center holding a crescent staff and dancing with Xander. Behind them are the heads of the other 4 core magical girls, and behind THEM are two Dryad characters with mirrored poses, representing the antagonists of this scenario. The title, Nightmare Rouser Faye, is at the top, with listed fake episodes "Say it with flowers" along the bottom. The image is framed with an ornate golden frame. It's all very 90s, very magical, very bright.

The sketch for this one is really funny idk why lol
a sketch of the image in the previous post. If you didn't know this was scathach and a lalafell, you probably couldn't guess that from this. The lalafell is an especially silly blob with eyes.

El’vanryda (Xarann's mother) and Scathach just chilling together.
Yes, his mother is a Lalafell, it's complicated. (it's not that complicated. She snatches bodies to be immortal.)

#MKart #FFXIVart
A sketch of Scathach from FFXIV with her arms crossed like she's leaning on some surface. She looks very bored. A lalafell with long white hair sits on one of her arms looking over her shoulder with a sinister little grin. For she is a sinister little creature.

Freelance art is my fulltime job now. I love OCs, I am inspired by the simple joy of making a thing in my head real. The part of art I love is movement and colour.
I'm also an indie game dev who hasn't had time to finish anything in years Lol Here are some of my OCs!! My beloved muses.
My oc, xarann, and erenville from ffxiv catching frogs together My viera, xarann, wearing techwear and posed against a neon background. My oc, mythril, dancing in a swirl of butterflies. My OC Tilly, a winter elf, blooming with flowers for the coming of spring.
