Happy Star Wars Day 2026 ✨

My Laptop broke, then I got trapped in The Creative Abyss of Doom™ and just recently realized that I haven't posted anything in 10 months (╥﹏╥)

So, here's some Boba to get back into things. And what's better than one Boba? Four Bobas!

+ speed paint

Padmé with her handmaidens. First I wanted to draw them in original outfits but then I decided on the orange, velvet one. I have regrets.

The absolute mess, that was the drawing process :)

Blood orange mermaid 🍊

Last day of may but for once I really wanted to draw a mermaid. I never got into mermaids as a kid and even now. Ppl with wings? Great. Horns, fangs? Awesome. Scales? Super cool. Water based aliens? Also amazing, I mean Kit Fisto, Abe Sapien, Captain Gantu, Steb, that guy from the shape of water, even The Missing Link from Monster vs Aliens. You'd think mermaids would make a great cross section, but it was always fairytopia > mermaidia for me. Maybe it's the tails. Tails just give me nothing.

And drawing process video

Making my OCs fight to celebrate the occasion :)

And the drawing process. 8+ hours condensed into one minute (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

I watch this movie every year around Christmas and maybe (probably) it's nostalgia but I love it.

Short summary for everyone who's not familiar with old european fairytale movies:

In this version Cinderella gets three magical hazelnuts (hence the title) that give her magical outfits.

The first time Cinderella meets the prince it's in her dirty old clothes, then she gets a hunter disguise from the hazelnuts, the second outfit is a ball gown & the third her wedding dress.

The second time she's disguised as a hunter bc she loves hunting, riding and sneaking out. (So does the prince. They have so much in common). She interrupts the prince's hunting competition, manages a shot that even he can't and wins. The prince is very impressed. The prize is a ring that the prince puts on her finger (that's the drawing). In typical Cinderella-fashion she runs away, the prince in pursuit but doesn't catch her.

After that comes the ball, shoe shenanigans, stepmom and sister end up in an icy river, Cinderella and the prince ride together over snowy fields. The end.

It's not the typical Cinderella story. The dresses don't disappear at midnight. Cinderella leaves the ball bc the prince doesn't recognize her from their previous encounters and she doesn't want to be with him, if he only likes her in the petty dress. In the end the shoe does't really matter all that much bc the prince recognizes her without it.

The costumes in this movie are something. Not historically accurate whatsoever. They're a mix of medieval and Renaissance with clearly modern (by modern I mean 70's) fabrics in the middle. The ball gown is a bit of a let down imo but I still have a lot of love for the hunting scene. Tights, hats, paisley and all :)

A drawing I made for my grandma's birthday.

Sleeping Beauty bc every winter she does a fairytale diorama in the cellar of their local castle. Also as soon as it gets cold it's fairytale season in my mind.

Redraw 2 years later.

I wanted her look less nice and more scary bc the sea is scary. Beautiful but scary.
