I'll be relaunching my commissions soon with updated examples, pricing and a new process, so I thought it would be a good time to consider updating my offerings too. Let me know what you think!

just a reminder that BetterHelp is selling your fucking data and that they themselves have said at industry meetings that they're a data-driven company more than a people-driven company

It feels like for a while in there that people were dropping them as a sponsor but now that the controversy has slightly dimmed there are so many ads for them again; do not give them your information, do not give them your money

I know insurance is a pain in the ass and mental health treatments cost too much out of pocket for most people. So do they, that's why they're making this little bait and switch operation. Helping people is, at best, a side product of their data harvesting, and at worst just a trick to lure people in.

{ Commissions open as of February 1st 2024 }

Reblogs appreciated! 💐

To check commissions availability, there's a link on my Carrd (link in bio) and as always, feel free to dm me for questions or a price quote!

I'd also like to note... I'll be increasing my pricing to help me through the current economy, but until I build a portfolio of newer samples, these will stay my prices. I'll give an update before officially increasing my rates as well. But regardless, any support be it reblogs or commissioning me would be a huge help to me!

#I have 2 slots open! dm me

This is an art commission for Sarah and her fiancee, to be used as wedding invites!! I was especially excited about the concept of drawing them by the beautiful duck pond they visit, it's so romantic! 🦆✨🌿 I was very inspired by ghibli while painting the scenery. There's some close-ups under the cut btw!

If you're interested, I have one commission slot available right now! dm me or check my carrd for pricing and more info.

Have a wonderful day! 🌱✨

the moments and world we share 🪻🌿

This year's birthday gift for my friend Rinnie (acetrainerkido on twitch!) it's of our original characters, Bud (my OC on the left) and Grayson (their OC on the right) sharing a restful moment, enjoying nature. 🌱

Close-ups and colouring process timelapse under the cut!

Thanks for looking and have a lovely day today <3 The weather looks so nice today, maybe I'll take a walk to enjoy the sunshine. You should get some fresh air if you can, as well! 🌿

Tears 💧

It's fascinating how tears change composition depending on whether they're from happiness or sadness, and that all they are, is an overflow of emotion and the body's way of balancing itself. Being moved to tears is actually really beautiful, when you think of it that way. 🥹

Another thing that makes me want to cry… my sister and I finished Tears of the Kingdom recently!! We took our time with it because we didn't want it to end. Instead of crying though, I just started a new save file to play it all over again LOL. Plus, I drew this as part of that feeling, but I want to draw more fan art!! For now, there's an alternate version and a process video under the cut~

#morning reblog #good morning I hope you have a lovely day!

Doesn't the new Stardew Valley 1.6 update look great!? 🌱✨

Do you play? What's your favourite thing about the game? Stardew is absolutely one of my favourite games ever, it's my go-to when I need to destress and I almost always choose the foraging map hehe. 🌸 It's inspiring seeing how much thought and passion is put into each update, too.

Also, spring is officially here as of the 19th!! 🌱

I'm so happy that warmer weather is on its way. Here's a small spring-themed group from my junimo project~ Apparently I was only able to draw 7 out of 20 before life demanded my attention, I'd really like to pick it up again sometime.

Which animal crossing villager would you invite to coffee? ☕🌱

Comm for gy_sup on twitter, of OC Mei Li and Marshal at a cute cafe!! I love getting animal crossing commissions like this so much 💕

Do you play animal crossing? ✨ It helped me connect with both friends and creativity over the pandemic, so I easily put in over 1000 hours. It's dear to my heart and I return every once in a while to check on my villagers. Happy home paradise is still one of my fav ways to wind down in the evening, too~

I hope you have a lovely week ahead of you, especially with spring coming! 🌱 (Maybe I'll play a bit of ACNH to escape the snow I still have in reality......)

Rain or shine 🪻✨☔️

What's your favourite type of weather? Sunshine makes me feel great, but the sound of rain can be so relaxing too and it's so important for plants and flowers to grow. I'm looking forward to the upcoming rainy season! 🌈 Detail shot + process clip under the cut~

Who is your favourite sanrio character? 🌈🌟

I'm partial to cinnamoroll and gudetama, but when project sekai announced the collab, I knew I'd be drawing mizuena for my sister @shevi-creates for Christmas!! The outfits are so cute 💕 It was fun working with such sparkly pastels for a change!

Hope you have a lovely day! 🌟
