Bambi stickers (time lapse)

Time lapse recording of the stickers I did for the step-by-step tutorial thing! As I mentioned in it, I ended up remaking the sketch - at the line art stage as seen here.

It's always a but tricky when it comes to deciding if I should continue with what I have or redo it, but from my experie...

Adding visual interest to stickers

At long last, here's a mini tutorial...ish kind of essay of my design process of drawing Telegram stickers! At first it was supposed to be just a short text post, but I got carried away with all my notes. I think my approach to everything I draw is so vastly different from what it was just a...

Pokefusion doodles

Okay, one more post before the bigger one I've been working on! Some fun Pokefusion doodles/designs I did a while ago based on prompts my friends came up with. This is a subject I seem to revisit every few years and every time I get so hooked so this might not be the last time you see something l...

Pixel portrait icons (time lapse)

Something small before a longer video again! :) I wanted to practice pixel art on a smaller canvas so I made these quick icons for me and my partner.

Connecting icons time lapse

Two more icons of the current batch completed! ^^ You can see me struggling a bit with the perspective here before getting it to match my vision. I really enjoyed creating the atmospheric lighting in this 💛

Icon time lapse 🐦

Despite the cold spell that currently has Finland in its grip, we saw a lot of people bird watching the other day when walking the dogs which actually gave me the inspiration for this icon! 😊 Working on this made spring feel a little bit closer even in the middle of the piles of snow we curren...

Ku: time lapse

Gift art for Tikrekins of her character Ku! A shorter video before some bigger updates featuring the current commission batch. ^^ Had fun drawing an experimental piece like this, allowed myself to go all crazy with the shapes and colors.

Monochrome portrait sketch (speedpaint) and sticker sketches

One more post before March ends! 👀 First, the last of March rewards accompanied by a recording of the process:

....And then some wips of the sticker redraws I mentioned earlier! I stumbled upon ...

March stickers time lapse (part 2) + results in description!

And here are the recordings of the second part of sticker rewards! Thank you SO much again to everyone for the support and trusting me with your amazing characters and prompts! 🥰 Just look at the range of different ideas and personalities here, I feel so lucky for getting to draw these! The or...

Reference sheet and icon WIPs

Things I'm working on at the moment! The reference sheet is an older project from my queue that I got to start on a bit later.

I have said this a million times but the end of 2023 was such a whirlwind that it feels SO good to be back on track again, i.e. keeping up my usual queue and finish...

Monochrome portrait sketch time lapse

I took a bit more artistic liberties with this one in order to achieve the menacing perspective I was going for - I just could not let go of the idea once it entered my mind and I had to try it out! 😂 As a fan of cropped compositions I'm not complaining about the turn it took even though it's ...

March stickers time lapse (Part 1)

First half of March stickers! Thank you for being so patient with my updates as I was out of town for the past weekend - this time a bit farther away since I visited Stockholm with my partner and friends! It's very rare that I spend a couple of days without drawing a single thing, but it always p...

Bratblush sticker set time lapse (part 2)

This was originally meant to be posted in 2 parts but hey, why not! This week has been a bit slower due to the commission opening (I will post the progress on those and other projects next week) so I think it's more than appropriate to provide this extra long speedpaint of the remaining part of t...

Old OC speedpaint + mini step-by-step

This year I'm trying to remind myself of the things that inspired me to start drawing as much as I can. One of those things was Ginga Nagareboshi Gin anime that I watched religiously as a child and made tons of fan characters (that all had very tragic backstories, of course). This short speedpain...

Icon commissions (STATUS: CLOSED)

UPDATE: All slots have been taken and I'll contact the clients via email soon! Thank you so much for you interest, it means a lot ;u; 💛

After an insanely hectic start of the year, my schedule has finally reached a point where I can open a few...

TIME LAPSE: Bratblush stickers (+ commission opening date)

A longer time lapse this time again! 👀 Continuation to the sticker set I have shared earlier, and the end result for the first round of sketches I shared a while ago. Have I ever told you how much I LOVE making stickers? I mean I obviously have, but I can't stop gushing about how they're some ...

STEP-BY-STEP: Connecting icons

It took me a while to collect these, this process had a lot more steps to show than I had thought! The process differs in many ways of that I usually do as my goal was to acquire a 90s anime kind of look - these are a Sailor Moon reference, based on a screenshot! No a "drawover" kind of one as be...

STEP-BY-STEP: Lara pixel

I'm being really vulnerable with you guys here because I don't consider myself all that experienced with pixel art, but I LOVE making these little sprites! I have a lot more of these to show as soon as I finish them, too, as one of my most anticipated projects has been making those for all my OCs...

TIME LAPSE: Connecting icons

Connecting icons commission for sailorrooscout! Some may have noticed that this is a 'screenshot redraw' of sorts, where the characters are reimagined in Sailor Moon universe. While I tired to stay faithful to the source material, I also wanted to make it so that it's not an exact copy of it. Thi...

TIME LAPSE: Jax (and Lara) doodles

I have so much in store for the end of the week but let's start with these Jax drawings I have done recently! I wasn't joking when I warned you about more original character content, for the longest time I'm having so much fun drawing my OCs and focusing on their lore. In fact, at the moment I'm ...

Various wips

Some of the things I am working on at the moment, from queue (pics 1 and 2) and my personal wip folder! I made myself a promise to focus on more personal projects this year, and so far it has had a tremendous effect on my mental health. Last year was one of my most stressful ones yet and I'm stil...

TIME LAPSE: Character design process

A shorter video this time, but thought it would be interesting to see what my design process is like - to me I mean, but I hope you find it fun to look at as well! 😂 I have shared some earlier concepts for this fox sona of mine in older posts, but he went through quite change after that. I wan...

TIME LAPSE: February portraits

Portraits I did this months for Caught on Camera tier members! I have been trying to get the hang of a more loose/rough lineart style again, and these monochrome portraits help a lot with getting back into the mindset. 🥰

TIME LAPSE: Sunni stickers

Telegram stickers for Bratblush! Loved drawing these, it was a nice challenge to try to make the best of the limited canvas space in order to convey the feeling through each sticker. If it wasn't clear already, these stickers are one of my top favourite things to draw and I just can't get enough ...

TIME LAPSE: February stickers 2/2

Rest of February stickers + a sticker that I made for my partner's raccoon sona to fill up the free space on the canvas. xD Unfortunately I don't have a recording of the making of it but I would like to make more of the same character so stay tuned for that? 👀

TIME LAPSE: February stickers 1/2 (FEBRUARY FORM REMINDER)

REMINDER TO FILL OUT THE REWARD FORM THIS WEEK ❗ I haven't received a couple of responses so I'll keep the form open until Friday! Those who have filled out the form will receive their rewards by the end of the week if you haven't already.  💛

Here's the first part of the stickers!...

TIME LAPSE: Sire (+ simple layer breakdown)

A colored sketch I made as a birthday gift for Nasty.bat of her character Sire! I might be a bit biased as I love pirates related characters and media - but even if I wasn't Sire's design really is one of my all time favourites!

Here's a simple layer breakdown of the process! :)

TIME LAPSE: Secret Valentine art trade

In Finland, Valentine's Day is called Ystävänpäivä which translates to Friend's Day - so we hosted a Secret Valentine mass art trade between some of our lovely friends! 🥰 This was my part (the character belongs to Zietro), and boy did I love drawing Zie! Although primate anatomy is a bit i...

TIME LAPSE: Valentine's Day YCH

...or in other words the first part of the Valentine's Day art I finished this year! Might post the rest tomorrow to avoid spamming everything at once, but in the mean time have this time lapse recording of the YCH I posted the sketch of recently. ^^

TIME LAPSE: 2023 icon commission

I was absolutely sure that I had already shared the time lapse of this icon commission from last year but apparently I haven't! So I'm posting this now while I focus on finishing all the Valentine's Day art on time ✏️

Finished icon:
