Hi Lau @agibbangs
I'm your Stayblr Secret Santa! ❤
Happy Holidays. I hope 2024 treats you kindly.
Whilst we ere messaging you said you were kind of down about your exam results and I thought, instead of doing something over the top and Christmasy that maybe, the best present I could send you is a hug... from me, from the Stayblr community, but most of all, from Channie.
I hope you are being kind and gentle to yourself.

Sth that I wasn't quite happy with the results but I'm glad to have received a lot of positive reactions from other platforms so I'm posting this here too😊
A pencil portrait from 2019 of Brendon Urie from Panic! At the Disco. I still love this one - I think it's the last musician portrait I did. Maybe I'll go back to this realism in the future but for now I'm really enjoying drawing manga again!
This is Bisan Owda (@wizard_bisan1 on IG), she's a young journalist who's been documenting the daily life in Gaza, Palestine since before October of last year and continues to do so now, as her and her family have been displaced by Israel, her home and workplace destroyed in the bombings. If you don't already follow her, I highly suggest to do so, as she takes interviews from the local people in the refugee camps and provides a fantastic insight into Palestinians as a nation, their culture and the horrors they face under the Israeli apartheid regime in their own land.🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
i'm so, so excited to share this painting with you. i have officially been making art for 20 years, and i thought it would be fun to repaint the first digital work i ever made.
i have wanted to give up art so many times over the years. i'm tremendously proud of myself for sticking with it and improving as much as i have. i hope you're proud of me too! please be sure to zoom in to see all those details i worked so hard on (especially the rhinestones!!). thank you for being with me during my art journey. 20 years, 20 more 🖤
A digital realism painting of Kim Seungmin from Stray Kids. Seungmin is looking off to the left of the painting and is backlit by 3 bright ring lights. He is wearing a black fur coat and has his ears pierced twice on the ear shown, he wears a thick hoop and a stud, with an ear cuff accompanying them. His eye sparkles brightly in the light, as do the galaxy of small star freckles that pepper his cheeks. His dark hair is also backlit by the lights and has green highlights in some areas as well as a light streak from the ring light behind him. The background is dark and 'fireflies' glow and dance around him.
