Something’s been growing in the dark.

It watches. It waits. It feels.

Fragments are starting to take shape.

A hand, reaching.

Smoke turning into something almost alive.

And eyes—too many eyes—watching from the silence.

First glimpse into a vision that’s been haunting me for a while.

I’ve been sketching different eyes for my Soulkitty – trying to find ways to express emotion without a face.

Each eye explores a different feeling or inner state, sometimes subtle, sometimes more symbolic.

Some of them include emotes or abstract shapes within the iris – little visual cues that help tell the story.

It’s an ongoing process, but I love how this one element can carry so much emotion, especially when it floats silently above a creature made to be unreadable.

The character has a catlike skull for a head, which leaves little room for traditional facial expressions.

So I started exploring different ways to make its feelings visible. After several sketches, I landed on a concept that felt right: a floating eye above its head, like a watchful spirit, glowing with emotion.

Sometimes that eye changes – into simple emotes or symbols – depending on what the Soulkitty is going through.

It became a kind of emotional antenna. Something quiet, but always watching.

I’m still shaping the visual language around it, but it’s been a meaningful journey so far 🖤

Hey there ~ I'm new here on Tumblr and still finding my way around, but I'm really excited to finally start sharing my art!

This is my very first sketch of my Soulkitty – a little ghostly creature that wanders through my work, carrying pieces of emotion and quiet mystery.
