I will be using this blog to share fanart and silly ideas that I can’t be bothered to post elsewhere. To start it off have a six-foot tall cinnamon roll.
A bunch of black and white sketches of League ladies that I posted on Twitter

An experimental sketch I did a while back of Abigail Arcane and Swamp Thing/Alec Holland from DC Comics. Really niche but definitely one of my favorite comic book couples.
I had the sudden inspiration to draw a Sheikah-inspired dragon, then I colored it in based on Impa’s color palette. I guess dragon! Impa it is then.
I made the Sheikah pretty standard oriental dragons, and I think koi like designs would fit the race pretty well. Dragon Impa here is partially inspired by an Asagi koi.
I will perhaps expand this Dragon AU. I have some solid ideas for what Hylians and Gerudo would look like already.
I'm in my sisyphus era but I'm pretty sure I'm almost out of it
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Comic collab with the amazing @dustybones! Dusty did the beautiful lines and I did the layout and colors. Hope you enjoy this product of us putting our tadpoles together :)
Everyone go show Dusty's post some love as well <33
have you ever heard of hunter the vigil?
I haven’t before but it looks like a really cool system! Honestly my experience with TRPGs is quite limited to DnD 5e and a single session of Call of Cthulhu I played years ago. It is always fun to see the how different settings do things though :)
Of all the meaningful fan art ideas I had for Arcane, somehow this is the one I ended up doing.
One of my favorite character details about Irelia is the implication she has this specific brand of impoliteness where she sees someone she likes and she will unabashedly comment on them about it. like that one interaction where she basically calls Fiora pretty but then asks her why'd she changed her hair. Or how in this one Grace Kim concept art for Rise of the Sentinels she's blatantly staring at Diana's ass (or maybe tits) like bruh
It's so funny and gay but also rude. But it feels legitimate cause yeah the war vet who was orphaned at 12 (ie puberty) and has been fighting since likely is unfamiliar with the concept of being subtle or simply trying not to be obvious as to not offend people.
I made this comic for the literature festival ‘Québec en toutes lettres'. If you are in la ville de Québec, I believe you can find this comic displayed on a large panel or as a free postcard in these cute vending machines they’ve set up around the downtown. I don’t actually have proof of either, so if you are in Québec and you see my comic in the wild, please send me a photo!
The theme of this year’s festival is ‘climbing the light’ based on a line of poetry from Jean-Paul Daoust. My comic is a pretty abstract take on that. I was thinking about how great art can inspire people all over the world to create art, and how that art can then inspire future artists and so on, making this unending giving-and-receiving of light through our history. I was also thinking about birds (as I do sometimes), and how they do a similar thing with their songs.
The bird I’ve painted here is an Eastern Whip-poor-will, a night singer.
