Did my very first Art Fight attack yesterday – story below & in main AF post!

This Hazbin Hotel RadioApple fan-child character is by @irkenproperty and he's called Pip Morningstar! 🍎🤎 Such a cute design!! 🧡

Started on 02/07/2026 and finished 10/07/2026 – had a lotta fun translating him into 3D, building the whole scene and sprinkling in fun lil details! ⭐️💛

--- --- STORY --- --- Having just ascended the stairs in the Hotel from an exuberant birthday celebration with an abundance of russet apple pie à la Lucifer, Cherri & Niffty's wrath cherry cupcakes (cherries imported of course), and Vassago's famously unforgettable crimson banana biscuits, Pip's made himself comfortable in a dark and cosy spot in the rafters right by his father's radio tower for a treat even greater than all the food – his gifts!

Pip usually basks in the spotlight of attention; however on special occasions such as this where he's received gifts, he's made it a tradition to unbox them in private as his habit of suppressing his facial expressions had always made him come across as indifferent and unimpressed whenever he's received gifts in the past, upsetting the people he cares about.

While he has been spoiled by his family his entire life growing up, he still recognises that all these people deciding to send him gifts even while being aware of his spoiled disposition is really something special which shouldn't be taken for granted.

Saw the finalé of Amphibia last week and without spoilers, it's genuinely become one of my favourite shows right next to Gravity Falls. 🐸💛 It's got such heart, lovable characters, a great many twists and turns and so many funny moments.

Though I do wish they hadn't sidelined Ivy Sundew as much, so I thought I'd design her an alternate S3 outfit if she had gone with them and needed a disguise!

April Fools' Day today! 🍪 Just a friendly reminder for folks to take everything they see or read about today with a grain of salt, as there's a higher-than-normal chance that it's untrue.

Realised I've barely ever drawn the Hellaverse characters since getting introduced to them in 2022, so given the recent national holiday I thought I'd join in.

I experimented with the background a bit – initially I just went for regular colours that you might find on Earth, but that didn't really fit so I tried purpley/crimson Pride Ring ones; those were just too dark so in the end I decided to set the scene in the Gluttony Ring.
