I painted a layout to test out different lighting scenes and this is the "afternoon" version. I wanted it to be warm and very dreamy with magical-looking dust particles. Hopefully, It'll contrast the more cool tones I'm planning for the morning scene. Part two will be coming soon!

The Voiceless Angel | The Silent Witch I was inspired by Studio FLiiiP's animated teaser, "Nicole: The Silenced Golden Strings" they made for Genshin's release of Nicole. Absolutely loved the Gothic look and the old school animation style that reminded me a bit of Angel's Egg in the beginning.

The Workspaces of TotK: Princess Zelda's Secret Well Zelda in her lofi era 🎧 Been a long time coming to make a few Tears of the Kingdom/Breath of the Wild fanart and hopefully a few more to come! I'd love to focus on workshops/workspaces in the games, so I'm looking at Purah's Lookout Landing lab and the makeshift space under the fallen ruin in Kakariko village for the next ones!

I wanted to try a different mood than what I usually do 🌧️ Also a little love for the dramatic environments of Inazuma

Character exploration based on a legendary warrior princess, "Princess Urduja"

Inspired by a tragic story from Filipino folklore called, “The Legend of Alitaptap.” It tells the story of the valley of Pinak in Central Luzon, where the people who lived in harmony with the land suddenly found their lush valley dried up and barren. The people of Pinak prayed to Bathala for the rains to return and give life back to the valley. Bathala answered their prayers and sent Bulan-hari who descended from the skies in a chariot of gold with his wife Bitu-in. The rains returned and once again, and the valley flourished with food and life. Bulan-hari and Bitu-in decided to live amongst the people and had a beautiful daughter named “Alitaptap,” after the bright, sparkling star on her forehead. While all the men of Pinak fell in love with Alitaptap, she was unable to love or know of love, for she was not human and therefore her heart was as cold and hard as the sparkling star on her forehead. One day, an old wise woman from the mountains brought grave news: ruin and sorrow was to come to the valley for warriors from the land of La-ut would ride in on their mighty horses and conquer their people, destroy their crops, and poison their lake. The only solution was for Alitaptap to bear a son, for he alone could lead their people and keep peace in the valley. Bulan-hari asked Alitaptap to pick a young man to marry, but Alitaptap was silent for her stone heart did not understand. In desperation, Bulan-hari gripped his sword and demanded from Alitaptap to obey him or find herself dead. Alitaptap remained silent. Fearing the dark future foretold, Bulan-hari drew his sword and struck the star on Alitaptap’s forehead! The star burst and darkness enveloped the hall. The chips from the shattered star began to glitter and light the room, revealing the body of the dead Alitaptap. Soon after, the warriors from La-ut pillaged the land. The beautiful valley had transformed into a swamp and its people were gone. The only thing that remained were the fragments from Alitaptap’s star, which became fireflies lighting up the starless nights.
