#lou euler

omg another illustration!! this piece took me quite a while because i was working on it on-and-off, but i’m happy with how it turned out~~ nicholas and lou are so small they’re so cute awahwa i need to hug themmm… mama a brooklyn behind you!!

i didn’t have a clear idea on the colour scheme until after i finished the lineart (i usually block in my colours after the clean sketch), but i loveee the colours i love blues and purples <3

this illustration is unique because i made a 3d model for the background ooohhh!! i wanted to practise building a set—not only will it look cool in my portfolio, it’s also be a great asset (the siblings’ room) for the graphic novel. maybe i’ll create the euler’s entire home??

I’M OFFICIALLY OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL!!! i can finally post my one paper of my art finals (which helped me get an A1 and a distinction, the highest grade you can get). i completed this in september of last year and i think i’ve improved a lot since then <3 i still really like it though

this is a mock-up book cover for aliens of crescentville. i’m working to make it a graphic novel some time next year (potentially)!! there’s still a lot more development and planning that needs to be done so we’ll see <3

lou’s existential dissatisfaction and inner turmoil (and i started a new sketchbook yayyy!!)

this type of art is more abstract and gloomier compared to my usual works but i really like it—it fits her lore well. she’s a very light-hearted and optimistic character (especially compared to her older brother), but the yearning for a life she’s never lived leaves her extremely restless. she could choose to give up what she’s fighting for, but that would mean leaving all she’s ever known, including her brother, for the unknown

i’m sure pop mart needs no introduction!! their art toys are absolutely gorgeous ✨ and they inspired me to make one of my own <3 although it’s not the physical thing (yet)

i have some experience in 3d modelling, but not with zbrush. so, i’ve been learning the software while creating this toy for the past month (it’s so much fun actually hehe~~) i wanted to make one of nicholas too (they’re a pair, after all) but that was a bit too ambitious,, i’m too eager to begin my next project!!

i’m so happy with how my baby lou came out 🥹 especially considering i’m a newbie to both sculpting and zbrush. also the above piano cover of rises the moon is sooo beautifully haunting and perfect for aoc’s story 💕 DO listen to the song’s lyrics!! auggghhh i want to share the meaning and details of this toy BUT i can’t because it’s huge spoilers 😞 the struggles of having a passion project of this nature…

it’ll be really cool if i 3d printed this at a local library but in order to use the printers there, i have to attend a workshop blehhh,, i’ll most likely find the time to!! the thought of tangibly holding my oc is sooo emotionally rewarding… my baby… i’d honestly LOVE to make and sell aoc merch someday if it gets popular 🥺 a girl can dream

i’m not very good at pixel art but i think they turned out really cute~~ they’re inspired by stardew valley sprites <3 i made these because i was going fuse beading with a friend!! it was my first time doing it and i spent 3 hours on lou… had no time for nicholas

(↑ this is from my instagram story. i’m trying to be more active there too so do follow me if you’d like to see more frequent updates!! i also plan to post wips and behind-the-scenes to both tumblr and insta once i figure out a workflow that works for me)

in case you can’t tell, the animated short is a christmas special, but i took my time with it soo i’m two weeks late oops!! this project is why i haven’t posted in a while (working on it was very tiring but fulfilling)

since i’m starting my diploma in animation later this year, i want to learn and experiment with more complicated software and animation. there’s so much that i need to learn, but there’s also so much that i’m going to learn

(bonus + text under cut!!) ————————————————————

BACK with another animation yayyy!! it’s been forever since i’ve done an animation meme/trend and oh my do i miss that— i’ve never tweened in toonsquid before actually, and the last time i tweened was during my gacha animation meme days which was a LONG time ago. also, i learnt how to colour grade in davinci resolve!! gotta love learning new things <3

i honestly wanted to do more this month but. it’s been a rollercoaster,, i had a few very miserable days, but they reminded me that my best isn’t behind me; it’s waiting for me. and once i’ve lived it out, it’ll wait for me again and again. honestly, i feel so aimless. i’m looking forward to the start of my college semester so i can finally feel some purpose again. i also can’t wait to graduate from college and move overseas. i know i’m being impatient… i should wait for everything to take its course
