Spring Gnome (Commission)

 

Here's another commission from one of my friends of their Warcraft oc, Dodger! This was made a few months ago, but I haven't been up to date on uploading stuff, especially commission stuff, so I'm just catching up here! (Lots of things have been happening in this world, I'm sure it needs no explanation yvy)

Enjoy this little piece~

Night of the Jiangshi

Ready for Halloween?

---

Tis the season to be spooky! I hope you enjoy these icons I collaborated on with my datemate of our ocs, Blade and Kaun (dannymagd), as Jiangshi~ I did the coloring on the left while s/o did the linework, and vice verse with the icon on the left. Hope you all have a safe Halloween, stay warm, and get lots of candy and all the good stuff~

Enjoy Spooky Month~ 

You can find my datemate's art more on sites like: Bluesky, Tumblr, and Twitter (X)

Ursali ReDRAWN!!

 I took some time to redraw my oc, Ursali, since I haven't drawn my Prismatica characters in a while. I redesigned her a bit and I think this overall look suits her MUCH better~

I even made a lil moving pixel of her here, check it out 'v'

 Anyway, I'm doin' ok so far, just keeping on the best as I can. Hope you like these lil thingies ^v^

Life's been a lil rough

It's been a bit rough for me lately, mentally that is. It started off with having a little bit of family drama that kind of shook me, and it's still affecting me. Then, my pharmacy tech lessons are close to being done, so I've been fixating on getting these last lesson done along with studying for the final. And to top it all off, I've been doing some family business stuff (which the drama didn't help with, at least for me). 

All in all, my mood hasn't been too great, but I'm holding on. While I'm trying not to stop productivity, my mind's just been taking things slow. So it's not the end of the world, but personally, I'm a bit frustrated with life.

But with frustration comes the want to make things better, and I really want to make things better.

Times like these I'm actually glad I haven't been on social media lately! (can't avoid it completely, but not having it has been great) 

So for now, have this quick doodle of Anibo sharing in my tired anguish while Pubbi tries to help out.

Stay safe out there~ <3

The Newbies!

 

In Solar 7's team, Pluto and Earth are the newest additions to the team as cadets! While they're excited to jump into the fray and save some planets! (But they forget, I'm the writer of this webcomic >:) )

I'm kind of proud of this little doodle, might use it somehow in the future, but I hope you enjoy it too~

So, Not Being On SM So Far...

Ani speaking~ Quite the title, huh?

So it's not entirely true that I've been off of social media. Really, my only outlet for keeping updated on world things has been YouTube for the most part. Though, for the record, I'm no longer on Twitter, I haven't checked Tumblr for a long time now, and that SpaceHey I created? Dropped it. 

But I'm not here to lecture about social media, I just wanted to share what's been going on with me now that I haven't checked these sites.

I feel great.

Simple yeah? While I feel like I haven't fully severed ties with the need to constantly take in new information, I do feel better that it's not in my face for most of the day. I have problems with trying not to compare my skills to others, and having a feed that constantly showed me artists that had better skills than me (especially when they were younger than me and could doodle better than me any day ;v;) didn't help with those problems. I always think I'm never good enough to do anything, so maybe that was a bit perpetuated through social media.

And saying "Don't think that, you're great!" or "Don't compare yourself to others" is easy enough to say, but in practice it doesn't work so well for me.

That being said, I won't say being off social media has remedied that, but generally I'm not caught in a loop staring at amazing artwork day in and day out. So problem solved but also not solved? I do think I feel happier, though. 

I will say, I feel like I've taken a step back from a raging storm. Getting lost in other peoples' opinions, cancel culture, or taking in AI slop had taken a toll on me mentally. Yes, I'll say it, I've become such a "Doomer." I'm trying to remedy that, and not looking at social media sites has helped very much. I want to be proud of life, and I want things to get better. And I realize sulking about it is not going to fix things. 

With social media, I felt like I didn't have anything to be proud of. But looking away from the screen, I started to figure out, "Hey Ani, you can do stuff!" Which of course is great and all... Just gotta start doing those things now. xD (Being an anxious person by nature doesn't help.)

Anyway, I do have a sense of FOMO when I see others still on social media and sharing things I didn't know about. I know we as humans can't POSSIBLY know everything... but wouldn't it be great if we did? That's how I feel about that. And the constant need for convenience has been getting to me. 

So, there have been benefits and problems I've had being off of social media. I would say, for the most part, I'm happy. I don't feel like I need to stress about getting a post out with this blog, and I can just come back to it whenever I feel like it. Like my own little quiet space~ I do miss seeing peoples' reactions to the art I make, that's what really made me happy on social media. At the same time... there was too much of it. 

In real life, I hate being in the spotlight. I like getting praise, but apart from that, I don't like the idea of having all eyes on me. Too much responsibility, heh~ And with cancel culture becoming more and more over-reactive, I sometimes worry that people are just analyzing ANYTHING that I do, and if they don't agree with something (warranted or not warranted) that I've done, they'll start a mob, and I'll have to say something about it. Not that people shouldn't own up to their mistakes, but I do think some corners of the internet just need to chill for a second. 

And maybe I'm being over-reactive myself in saying this, but the internet feels like it's trying to assimilate everyone into a hive-mind mentality.

Anyway, some people will probably disagree with whatever I say, and that's fine. I just don't want to feel like I'm losing my sense of self. And I still struggle with figuring out if I'm forming my own opinions or not. 

If my thoughts sound disjointed while you're reading this, I apologize, but this has just been on my mind lately. Agree with me or disagree, I'm just glad anyone's read this post up to this point. 

Well, I don't want to end on a sour note, so here's my two cents. I feel like my brain can finally breathe with having my own space and not worrying about other people on the internet. I'm tired of having to worry about liking something and then someone telling me, "Oh you can't like them cause of such and such." I would LIKE to know why I can't like something, I'm concerned about what information I'm taking in and how that applies to me, but I'd like to do my own research into it and form my own opinions about it.

It's just tiring, is all I'm saying. I want to take things slow. Maybe it's the fact that a lot of things I liked when I was a kid are starting to be cancelled (and with good reason, like all those YouTubers outed as pedos now, good, they deserve the hate in my opinion), but I don't want to take it in all at once. It's depressing, alright? It's nice to take a break from it all.

I think I got riled up while typing this all out, but it feels nice to put it out into words. And maybe someone else will read this, hopefully it helps you figure some things out.

If I want to say anything, from what I've been thinking about all of this, and it won't work for everyone, but...

Just stop logging in maybe?

Wouldn't it be nice to just look at something else?

Yeah... okay, I'm done.

Aliensona: Anibo!

 

I wanted to share a small doodle I made that shows off my aliensona in full~ I call them/me Anibo and want them to be my face on the internet from now on! It's taken a while for me to come up with a character I can feel comfortable in while socializing on the internet. Alongside their pet I call "Pubbi."

I'm hoping to draw more of them in the future since they look so so cute! I hope you think the same as well and enjoy Anibo's design! 

Take a little sprite I made too with you!

 

Gregor the Ungezeifer (#affectionate)

 

You like how I gave up on drawing the coat decals? Lol. Anyways, here's another Limbus Company art piece of mine~ Gregor's another fav character of mine, though to be honest, all of them are my favorite characters. But I do enjoy the dad/mom energy this man gives off. (especially when paired with Rodion's shenanigans :3) 

And his voice actor. His voice. Let me tell you. He's the voice of Mr. Krabs in the Korean dub of Spongebob. I was SHOCKED. Either way, this VA is super amazing at delivery.  

I hope you enjoy what I've made :3

Summer Vibes (Commission)

 Finished another comm from my very generous friend, Junistrasz, of their character Laurel! I had so much fun creating this piece and am so thankful for their continued support! I hope you give this piece much love!

I had fun making this!

The Star of War

 

Another important Star to the Solar 7 story. Rigel is nearly second to Betelgeuse, as the GAPU's Protection Service leader and High Guard of the Star Council. Essentially, she's the shield that protects Stellara (*Stellara is our entire universe). She may be very off-putting or cold, even harsh with her criticism, but she means the best for all that live in this universe. And she has some of the most glittery plasma between any star~ :)

I hope you like her design~
