Hi, I’m Hika (they/them)! A black, queer, comic artist, graphic designer, and web designer based in the US!

I love magical girls, the supernatural, manga, anime, video games, and my OCs. (I'm tryna be better about fanart tho.)

2025.03 Zira

Someone on my WaveBox asked if they could commission me to do IDWTBAMG fanart…

I'm not strong enough for commissions, but I drew Best Character™ for free.

2024.11 Hika Melo

My guest episode on Sparkleside Chats is out now!! It'd mean a lot to me (& Lux Pink!) if you subscribed to the podcast and gave it a listen!

It's a podcast where guests come on and discuss #MagicalGirl media with @magicalgirlayu!!

2024.10 LUX:vrdn

Trying to enjoy coloring the only way I know how: being unorthodox in my methods. It’s Lux Viridian! What’re they so happy about, I wonder? :3c (Says me, who knows why—)

I still don’t enjoy *doing* hue-blending or opacity-blending so I’m leaning even harder into dither-blending WHEE!!

Reminder that I am a bit more active on BlueSky, especially because they like original characters over there.

2024.10 NOX:indg Redraw

Redrawing this one drawing of Nox Indigo from an old Inktober… again! I wanted to draw something I could quickly have fun coloring.

Here's the 2023 version, and here's the 2019 version.

2024.08 Why So Mad?

You see Hevel & Dami boutta jaywalk towards you—what do you do?! Had fun using Blender3D to set up the BG for this one! Sorry for putting them somewhere else than the redraw! 💧

I’ll put the full, meme-less illustration on more gallery-like sites (My Website, Ko-Fi, Sheezy, Cara, Artfol)! Find your fave gallery-site to follow me on!

2024.08 Did it Work?

And I'm still right here where you left me, You went out there, did you forget me? Did it work…?

Sofia Valdes dropped a new song and it reminded me of one of my OCs. 😤 You should check it out!

A drawing of Amity I did to celebrate 1,000 (now 1,100 😵‍💫) followers on BlueSky! I’m doing an OC art challenge on there with physical prizes! Go check it out!

If you’re an OC artist and are curious about BlueSky, I’d really recommend joining/returning! The OC-haver community is very strong and supportive over there.

New Video Out!

On how newer sites/platforms aren't dead, just that bigger & busier artists might not have the time/bandwidth to engage on them. I've included tips & ideas for account growth.

Hope you’ll like it!

2024.07 Hevel’s Jewelry

Made Hevel’s (My OC’s) bling in #Blender3D for enrichment. Actually not a hard design to rotate in my mind, I just needed something Zen to do.

2024.07 Clay & Cati

A Girl and Her Bot 🤖💜👩 AKA “Me and the Neurodivergent E-Girl Hacker I Pulled by Running RESPECTWOMEN.exe”

I did it. I finally made a main-character M/F ship to be obsessed with.

Drew @doodlemancy's Petra last week!

Bit of a time-trial and trying to convince myself I can color effectively. Jury’s still out on all that. I think I’m carried by my lineart tbh.

2024.07 Clay's Earpiece

Clay’s earpiece!! :D As an android, he uses this to interface with other technology, wirelessly, or by cable. Without it, he has to use devices the same way humans do. His left humanlike ear unscrews and ejects in order to be replaced with it. A weird sight to behold. 😶👂

I’m sorry this isn’t a drawing… err… I model to help with drawing complex, inorganic things.
