Doodles and Scribbles

I edited my commission prices!

I decided to update some details on my commission information like lowering the prices and expanding different options on what you could request. I feel a lot more comfortable with these prices as these seem more reasonable for the work that’s being done. 

Simple designs (both traditional and digital) covers things like basic or default character designs that don’t require me to make up complicated outfits or designs. So characters like Sora from Kingdom Hearts or Boku no Hero Academia’s Deku in his canon hero outfit would fall under this category. This also includes original characters with casual clothing, such as hoodies and jeans, as I would not need to come up with anything elaborate. 

But if you are looking for something elaborate or would like a complicated outfit for a character, that would fall under Boutique Designs! This is for very detailed and complex designs that would require me to design something from scratch or at least look up multiple references to design something unique for the requested character(s). Think along the lines of Met Gala ball gowns, jewel encrusted suits, or designer street wear.

I’m also offering to do Animated Illustrations, where I can do do digital character designs but add some animated features to the work to make it really pop! I’m relatively new at this and couldn’t get it to animate in this slide but I have two examples on my blog that you can check out to see if this is something that you would like!

My commission’s email is [email protected] but feel free to message me here as well if you have any questions or requests! Thank you for taking the time to read this, and if possible, I would appreciate it if you could reblog this so others can see it.

Behold, another OC to throw at you.

Me and a couple of friends were creating another round of characters, this time set in a fantasy medieval and harem setting so this my little creation, Princess Priya. She comes from a small country that's slowly becoming an economic power but is threatened by two surrounding countries that want to take over. So in a bid to keep their independence and territories safe they have Priya sent to live as a consort to another kingdom (run by my friend) in exchange for their military power.

Priya is an intelligent and empathetic young lady so she knows what's at stake for her country in the grand scheme of things which is why she agrees to this arrangement. So for her intro picture, I have her dressed in an outfit inspired by a wedding lehenga and boy did the detailing took forever! I wanted her to look sweet and demure but also dressed as the most elegant lady as she's being presented to a foreign king, but I wish I did a better job at showing her overall hesitation with the whole situation since she'll be leaving her home behind for an indeterminate amount of time. Sketching and line art took a day each but coloring this took at least five so I'll have to introduce that complexity on another project. I loved drawing her but my hands are so tired.

I know I have so many OCs at this point, it's getting ridiculous, but I've just been obsessed with her design recently so you'll probably see more of her eventually. I apologize in advance.

HAPPY CLAMP DAY!!

I had to work late yesterday and today so this got pushed back a bit but I couldn't go without drawing my best girl this month! I recently saw a sparkling water drink at an Asian grocery store last week and obviously I had to try it. I usually hate sparkling water but this tasted more like a fruity soda than TV static, so I thought it would be fun to draw an outfit based on the drink.

Because of the peach and lychee flavors, I drew a lot of inspiration from the actual fruits. I was especially captivated by the red leathery skin of the lychee and given that the brand of the sparkling water was called "Ocean Bomb", I thought I could texture it like fish scales. To further push that lychee motif, I used the seeds as little dangling beads on the pearl chains that hang off Sakura's coat, umbrella handle, and boot.

For the peach, I wanted to stay away from pink tones since I was gonna use it in a different way and went with that more sunset palette to make her top and skirt pop more. I also incorporated a pink peach blossom pendant for her coat and added more floral motifs by using them as the tails on the fish charms and patterning on her umbrella. However, I couldn't resist using a cherry blossom as the decoration at the top of the umbrella since that is Sakura's namesake. Bubbles were then added in to tie in that ocean theme, like ripples on the water's surface, and also give it a soda pop or sparkling vibe so I hope this looks pretty decent.

I hope everyone had a fun CLAMP day or a fun time on April Fool's day!

Eid Mubarak!!

Super late, I know, but I was prepping all week for my mom's dinner party and we were still doing house parties that weekend. Considering we're going to another Eid party this coming Saturday, I'm going to say I'm still in the middle of the holiday.

I hope everyone had a good Ramadan and a happy Eid! Here's hoping the rest of March goes well for you all!

Valentine's Season isn't over yet!

These weren't supposed to take long but between work, job hunting, family events, actual Valentine's day, and Ramadan starting, this set of illustrations had to be set on the back burner for a little while. But I'm glad I took my time with some of them because I really adore Valentine's day and making food themed clothing items, so this became my fun project for the month. I wanted to focus on treats that I associated with Valentine's day so I picked cherries, strawberries, chocolates, and coffee to create styles around. I hope that when you take a look at them, that inspiration feels obvious haha! Please feel let me know which of these designs you liked best!

I hope everyone had a fun Valentine's day and a peaceful February!

First post of 2026!

I've been meaning to complete another illustration that was a bit more colorful and cheery but then all of January happened and those drafts felt a little inappropriate to post. Maybe it will happen another time but I did wanted to finish something for January so I hope this will suffice for now.

I do hope the rest of the year treats you all better! This might not have been the most ideal start to 2026 but we still have 11 months to go so let's power through! Please stay safe out there and stay warm!

Happy Holidays!!

I hope everyone is staying warm and cozy through the winter chill and had a lovely holiday! I have to go back to work tomorrow but I'm glad I got this painting finished in time. It's been a hot minute since I did a watercolor painting but I thought this would be the fastest way to get some character designs and a background in one go. It wasn't but what's important that it was done.

i was just taken with the idea of holiday fairies, with one fairy handling all the indoor festivities and the other fairy handling the outside weather and atmosphere to make for the perfect evening. They are somewhat inspired by that one Tinkerbell movie so I wanted to keep away from their designs as much as possible. I hope they look pretty unique!

Have an amazing Christmas and Holiday! We're in the homestretch of 2025!

The TWST anime is finally here!!

I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about it but I got the chance to watch it this week! I don't usually watch dubs but it was so fun to hear the cast in english and see the story come to life outside of card art and sprites, it looked so good and it was a lot of fun. I just had to draw Riddle in celebration since this will be the start of his crashout arc. I wanted to make something quick so it's just a simple pen sketch but I busted out the glitter gel pens to give the illustration some pizazz.

Happy Halloween!!!

A couple minutes late but I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween today! I was working on this character design for a while and have been gatekeeping him for a minute but thought it would be fun to draw him for Halloween. His name is Peter Verga, just a young guy trying to get into the journalism business after being kicked out from his family. His fresh start is ruined when one hookup turns bad and he gets turned into a werewolf so that's a whole new thing to contend with.

Peter's backstory is a little bit more detailed but that will be another post for another day and I'm not sure how much I wanna post about this character. I'm no good at drawing animals, let alone werewolves so I'm not super confident on how this looks. But werewolves fit the vibe for Halloween and what's spookier than losing control of your physical form and mauling the people closest to you? Trying something out of your comfort zone and posting it online.

Again, I hope everyone had a lovely Halloween and great evening!

I haven't posted anything in ages so I forced myself to make something in 30 minutes, whether I liked it or not. I do have actual illustrations and character sketches I will upload soon (translation: when I feel like it) but I definitely wanted to get out of this slump I was in and actually post something for once.

Happy CLAMP Day!!!

I just had to quickly doodle a picture of my best girl since it's her birthday! I was reminded of the bear that Syaoran had gifted Sakura at the end of the original series and how the coloring of the bear was different depending on if you read the manga (green) or watched the anime (grey), both of which were very cute and fitting for Syaoran's personality. I wanted to go for both of those colors in the bear, using green for the main body since it matched Sakura's eyes.

I also remembered in the manga that if the kids had given their bear a name and a ribbon, that became the bear's birthday so I thought it would be extra fun to have Sakura and the little Syaoran bear have matching pink sweaters with a nice bright red ribbon. Their little bears were so cute and I have no doubt that Sakura had occasionally dressed her little bear while Syaoran was away in Hong Kong. It's super late but it's still April 1st somewhere and I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't get this done haha!

Eid Mubarak!!

It was technically from Saturday to Sunday but after spending both days with family, there was no way I was getting this done on time haha! I was really struggling from I wanted for this year's illustration but after waiting in line for about an hour to get some henna done on my hand, I decided to use that as inspiration.

I've drawn Fatin with henna before but it's always been rather light and not the main focus. When I was getting my henna done, I was very fascinating by the color change of the paste. From how it came out of the tube a shiny black, to a dry brown, and then peeled off to reveal a pretty red and orange design on my skin. I wanted to use those colors to add some variation to the floral design in the back and use it as base colors for Fatin's outfit. Drawing the actual henna designs on Fatin's hands and ankles were a little tough since since the illustration was so small, but I'm glaf I still got it as detailed as I did.

I hope you all had a safe and lovely Eid and got to relax a bit between the parties and get togethers. And if you don't celebrate, I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Or late Valentine's day for whenever this posts, haha! It's been ages since I properly animated something but surprisingly the animation part wasn't the hard part. Getting all the pieces and parts composited was what took forever for some reason because originally this was going to be for New Years but then had to be pushed back. The outfit I designed for Fatin worked better for Valentine's day anyway so it worked out haha!

It's just been so cold on my end, I am just so ready for spring so of course Fatin's outfit had to reflect a more floral vibe instead. I had to scrap a lot of ideas because this project was beginning to be too much, especially since those ideas would work with the theme I had going on. I was getting frustrated over this piece but I'm happy with how it turned out once it was finally done!

Here is what the still image looks like if the video won't play.

I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Valentine's day or a relaxing Friday! Please let me know what you think of this project!

I couldn't make anything for new years, so have this little doodle that's 30 days too late.

January has been... exhausting for many reasons especially since I had a different project planned and it's been delayed to heck due to my job and the general state of the world. But I wanted to get something done before January was over so here's Fatin after what was probably a hectic party. A bit of mess and maybe the cake has gone stale by now, but it is what it is so there's no use in complaining.

It's a little late to be saying this but I do hope this year treats you all kindly and better than the last!
