Dizzy welcomes Paolo to New Leaf!   These two rad elephant bros are finally neighbours again thanks to the Welcome Amiibo update and I was thrilled to illustrate them for @trunktonmayor.  All kinds of warmth and joy from our town to yours, Paolo!

Who best to appreciate the hardworking Isabelle than the mayor?  A nice cup of coffee from The Roost always boosts the spirit!  Had an absolute blast creating this piece featuring the ever charming Finn with his creator – character design sheets are one of my favourite things to work on.  Thank you so much for commissioning me, looking forward to working with you again!

Friendly fireflies, a low ‘n mellow crescent moon, nighttime ambiance has never been more rad!  So lucky to have been a part in designing the way rad bat villager Ivy with @kippuu!  They’re a delightful, rough ‘n tumble lil nocturne with a sweet disposition toward bugs (being an avid fruit connoisseur!)

A cool frappiccino, a hot latte, and one cozy morning at The Roost with a duo of the chillest of natures. Had a stellar time creating this illustration with @lazyy-deer ‘s most charming Iris and Minty (still all giddy over how cool these Animal Crossing ocs are, check out those rad lil homies!).  Thanks so much again, always a sweet time with such adorable ideas to bounce from!

What’s better energy than winter shenanigans with Ivy, Anna, and the core five villagers of Galifrey? The festivities hit strong and it’s in these scenic landscapes commissioned by @kippuu that the warmth of such rad friends creates one cozy community.  Much gratitude for working with me on these illustrations – truly inspired vision!

Autumn warmth, a scenery of adorable couples and a tremendously rad group of friends enjoying this cozy afternoon together.  I can’t thank @killajax enough for organising and helping direct this massively gorgeous illustration!  The group is as follows(clockwise from top left):

• Gami and Cherry
  
• Hailey (@emberhorse) and Vesta
  
• Quinn (@fluffyfawxen) and Annabelle
  
• Nan and Ricardio (@emilio-garra)
  
• Margie and elephant Mayor Ryan (@killajax)
  
• Miro (@mintrimo), Marina, and Nero
  

Gardening, stargazing, @lazyy-deer’s Iris and Minty know how to have a stellar time among the most enchanting parts of town!  Thanks so much again for working with me on these illustrations, I’m massively digging with these two and their wonderfully rad personalities and even more chic pastimes!

Villager types come in so many cool designs and animal types, but this rad alpaca villager of @emilio-garra‘s is definitely one of my favourites!  A sweet guy with a straight-forward vibe, I’m uber grateful to have been able to work on this commission. Thanks so much again!

If there’s anything cooler than Mayor Hailey, it’s Vesta and Mayor!Villager Hailey!  These two are so much fun and I can’t thank @emberhorse enough for commissioning these two pieces.  Not only is the wolf/dog villager concept uber rad but Hailey herself is just too cool, it was amazing learning about her!

All gratitude for helping create such a cool couple of pieces~ ^^v

Warm oranges and golds, deep hued skies, sleepy mushroom sprouts, autumn is here! Cozy weather in bright fall foliage with your villagers is the most invigorating thing so @kippuu‘s Mayor Ivy and Avery are out enjoying an early scattering of the town’s leaves.

So happy that I was able to illustrate a fall piece with two straight-up rad villagers, thank you! A happy fall to everyone!!

Power and pretty in pink!  These illustrations for @mayor-amilee featuring the fabulous town of Zucker as well as a chic trio paying the most stylish hommage to Sailor Moon with Mayor Miu, Bunnie, and Mira were some of the most brilliant to work on.  Not only are these charming villagers trendy, they’re also some of the most intriguing and sweet personalities – a trip to Zucker would be such a retreat!

Mondo gratitude @mayor-amilee!  Sending all my best to this radical town~!

Rabbits~ Some of the most rad and vibrant villagers in Animal Crossing. I’m way humbled to present to you @tinyhat’s villager oc Vivian!  Please join me in a warm welcome to this elegant, uber charming character~

And yo, what better way to introduce her than in season’s finest?

Autumn nights provide the best moon-viewing opportunity and I was also massively fortunate to create this Heian-style tsukimi illustrations with @tinyhat as well.  From a courtly dance under the moon to mochi-making to a poetry reciting by the river’s reflecting waters, Vivian and Carmen celebrate the rabbit-in-the-moon with sophistication and brilliance.  It was a floating world fantasy working on these – so badly want to go out and make a tsukimi-themed town now! *o*

Mayor Brandon, in a frenzy for the perfect town.  Isabelle, you’re on sleep duty this time.  We’ve got a mission to see through.

With enough pep to keep you focused ‘til sunrise, this illustration commissioned by @marioguy28 was such a rad piece to work on!  Definitely a favourite town hall scenario – I love the idea of a super cluttered but lively mayor’s office.  Ya gotta break that seat in proper!

26/9, and a very happy birthday, Mayor Ryan (@killajax)!!  For the rad Mayor, Margie wishes the sweet elephant well with a surprise smooch (and Katt’s seal of approval from the side, hah)~  Had so much fun with this and can’t thank Killajax enough for letting me take part in a celebration piece featuring his elephant mayor.

Lots of cake, lots of good times, and all the best to you this year! 

As we wrap up summer, only the fiercest of couples can tap into the summer groove without missing a beat – Mayor Reily and Tutu!  On top of being utterly precious, I imagine the energy between Tutu and Reily makes for the most invigorating memories.

This gift from @tinyhatto@illness was such a joy to work on, I am uberly rooting for more cute beach dates now.  Happy early birthday to you, @illness!

Now that the recipients have received their gifts, I’m honoured to post the gift illustrations I worked on with @tinyhat.  A recently opened floral shop in the village has two of the most adorable entrepreneurs running it – Mayor Breezy and Gaston!  He’s cranky but he can’t help but light up in such pretty surroundings~

This was a delightful set to work on, I would visit their floral shop in a heartbeat.  A happy early birthday to you, @breezycrossing!

The idol world in Animal Crossing has a most rad pop duo practising their craft – Mayor Vivian (V-Star) and Carmen!  Carmen most definitely has the idol look and personality down so she’s got a (reluctant but adorable) protégé to help boost their star power☆

So very lucky to work with @tinyhat on another brilliant illustration commission featuring these two in idol mode!  I just gotta go listen to Stale Cupcakes with these two in mind, aa~!

Who’s got style and tremendously charming taste to boot? The way charming @tinyhat and minty fresh pop star Carmen duo, most definitely!  Just finished this commission illustration of the adorable Mayor+villager pair, so lucky to share with you☆  

Enjoying the glow of a warm evening sunset with Mayor Ryan, Margie! This illustration was such a lovely piece to work on, it’s not often I get to paint the Animal Crossing cliffside view.  Mayor Ryan knows, this area has a very charming atmosphere (it brings out the happiest energy in Margie!).

Serious gratitude to @killajax for working with me on this commission!  Much respect~

A sunny and fresh illustration featuring @twilight-perfection‘s mayor celebrating the bloom of warm weather with Isabelle and Goldie!  There’s so much bright and charming energy coming from these three, it was truly re-energising to draw and paint.  Thanks so much, yo!
