~ Mareep & Wooloo ~ (Valentine’s Day 2022 art)
I totally forgot to upload this on my Tumblr portfolio it seems. Oh well, here it is anyways. I like to draw some cutesy art thing every year for Valentine’s Day and this year wasn’t an exception in this matter. These two sheep Pokemon are just the best! <3
It’s been a while since I’ve done any kind of art at all since I have a very busy schedule with school and other stuff so I haven’t had time for drawing on a regular basis. I hope this will change soon.
The line art was made on Paint Tool SAI and the rest of the colouring on Clip Studio Paint.

“Oh, a sailor’s life is a life for me,
How I love to sail
On the bounding sea
If you want to sail
A ship like mine
And be a sailor all the time
Then learn to do
The Sailor’s Hornpipe
Just like me!"
I just love Sailor Waddle Dee so much and it makes me sad that his fate is left unclear in the end of Revenge of Meta Knight. If he really drowns in the end of the game, then perhaps his soul will sail and dance for an eternity on the waves of the Secret Sea, who knows.⠀
Nothing too special here art wise but I really like the result! It also eases my stress when I do the line art the way I did in this case.⠀
⠀
I was inspired heavily by Highland dancing. The traditional Sailor’s hornpipe is simply the best! It looks so fun and I wish I could learn the steps some day ⠀

“Wings to the Sky”
I’ve been playing Super Mario 64 a lot lately and obviously I just had to sketch something quick out of it! In addition to the raccoon power-up (super leaf),the wing cap is my absolute favourite power-up in 3D Mario games. It is kind of a shame that it’s obtainable only in Super Mario 64 and its remakes. :’ <
Programs used: Paint Tool SAI and Clip Studio Paint. The sketch is hand-drawn.

An art trade I made with a dear friend of mine!
I swear that the frog suit is probably one of the most difficult power-ups to draw.. it’s been over ten years since the last time I drew this pesky little frog thing :’D But I have to say that it’s also one of the funniest power-ups in Super Mario Bros. 3 and it’s a shame that the froggy suit is pretty much forgotten nowadays (though it appears in Paper Mario Sticker Star and Colour Splash but let’s not talk about those).

“I’ll take all of your wishes and your dreams
In your place, in memory
Give me all of your wishes and your dreams
I’ll take all that you left and realize it for you
In the white light, we’re going down this road
For our hope, for our faith
To the white light, we’re going down this road
… "
-MYTH & ROID - Forever Lost
Finally, some new art! I finished this approx a week ago but I didn’t have the energy to post it anywhere back then :‘D
I got inspired by plenty of things, from The Flower Field in Steam Gardens level of Super Mario Odyssey and Mario & Luigi Dream Team’s Sacred Somnom Woods level (and music) to the animation in Made in Abyss’ outro named "Tabi no Hidarite, Saihate no Migite”.
Also, I listened to the soundtracks of Made in Abyss over and over again while working on this, the show has some marvellous music indeed. The lyrics above are from the theme song of “Dawn of the Deep Soul” -movie and I just fell in love with that song instantly when I heard it first time and thought about the lyrics a lot when I sketched this.
I really like the result myself and I’m proud of how this came out! I wanted to create an artwork that looks like it’s been made with watercolours, of course it’s very difficult to get the same touch digitally since the traditional watercolouring is quite unforgiving, unpredictable and difficult to correct and control after all, but I think I succeeded on some level.
The picture looks like it’s straight out of a children’s book and that’s the look I was aiming for. I guess I should do an art book or something : D
Programs used: Paint Tool SAI for lineart and Clip Studio Paint for colouring.

Always By Your Side: ~ ｡･:*:･ﾟ’★,｡･:*:･ﾟ’☆
A quick Clip Studio Paint practice I made when I was extremely stressed and anxious and I just wanted to draw my favourite bros.. I really like how this turned out, especially the colour scheme. At First, I didn’t plan to colour this at all but I just couldn’t keep myself from doing it, that’s just the way I am, I guess..

“The First Snow of Winter”
Hi folks! I made some new art for the new year! :D I got the inspiration for this from the Japanese Nintendo Magazine’s cover art where Mario notices a falling snowflake and has a green scarf which is obviously Luigi’s.. well, not necessarily but it was the first thing that came to my mind Mario has probably lost his own scarf while going on an adventure or something, who knows? And Luigi, being the perfect and best little brother ever, of course gives Mario his own scarf.
I will put the Magazine’s cover art here below so you know what I mean:
I gotta say that I really like how this turned out! For once I’m actually quite happy with the result! Yay! ^-^

Inktober2020 1/(?), Dancing girl
Inktober is here and once again I’m going to upload some ink art on my art blog during this month. Just like previous year, I won’t follow the official prompts (at least every time) and I’m definitely not going to update every day.
Also, I’m going to cheat a little bit today since this artwork was already mostly done and I inked only a part of it today. The original sketch was all about designing the dress (I like to design new dance dresses at times) so I basically coloured the dress part long time ago and left the rest of the work as a sketch but today I finished it completely. The anatomy in this one looks a bit weird too since I only focused on the dress back then so please be merciful, quick sketching is a thing :’’D
Art supplies: Nan-king intense indian ink, sakura colour/pigma archival ink, deleter fountain pen and copic marker inks.

Happy 35th Anniversary Mario!
I wanted to draw something for Mario’s 35th Anniversary celebration! ⠀
(Actually the real anniversary date was on September 13. when the original Super Mario Bros. was released on NES in Japan in the year -85) but since Super Mario 3D All-Stars for Switch was published today, this is a great opportunity to celebrate that as well. The thing called fan art Friday is real : D⠀
⠀
But yeah, Mario franchise has always had a special place in my heart because the games were a huge part of my childhood. In a way, Mario games have often been the unifying factor between my friends and family since we have always played those games together, and sometimes we still do! ⠀

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows. It’s what sunflowers do." - Helen Keller
I had the greatest need to have a hug couple of months ago, I was all alone in my apartment and I couldn’t meet my friends, siblings or parents at all because of the corona isolation. I felt so lonely and sad back then so I decided to do some sketching (I really had to put my feelings on paper) and voilà!
I’m so happy with the result even though I almost lost my mind while colouring the flowers (I really dislike doing backgrounds, especially repetitive ones). So that’s why it took so long to get this art piece done but I think it was definitely worth it! And I’m feeling a lot better now too : 3

(Hello, I just want to let you know that I’m transparent.)
Here is my entry for Smash-New-Universe ’s (Deviantart) collaboration project named “The Ultimate Concert of Life” ! More information about the project can be found here!
This was such a fun project to do but oh boy, there were some difficulties too! I’m not very happy with the Lucas’ pose here (It looks way too stiff for my taste) but I like how the colours turned out! I wanted to try something different and dynamic with the pose but it seems I still have a long way to go.. I should’ve just changed the pose entirely and start from the scratch but I was just too stubborn to give up *sigh*. Well, practice makes perfect and I let it go this time.
I had a huge need to draw Lucas with a keytar since it’s his combo instrument in Mother 3. And for the outfit, I was just thinking something very stereotypical 80’s stuff (I was also listening to one very famous Finnish 80’s band while drawing this so that “might” have inspired me a little).
And the keytar Lucas is playing here is heavily inspired from a Roland AX-Synth. I think the design of that instrument is so elegant and cool so I wanted to sketch something in a similar manner.

“…And I’m home.”
________________________________________
What does a heart encrusted in rust see
in a still and soundless world?
Looking for someone who looks like they can say, “I’ll see you again”,
I only end up repeating this over and over again.
Once you take notice, there’s
the silhouette of someone’s back, crying all alone
In a heartrending,
lonesome place.
I want to remain with my hand entwined in yours
How many times have I felt
the warmth here in this very place?
Even if I’ve only mistaken being by your side, I don’t mind
The sound of our tears and the colour of our sighs
Now ascertain where we are now
The distraction of an everyday routine
is something that I want, I want to see, even in the future
When I think how my voice, full of false bravado, has cracked
I find myself surrendering to the dream world
When I hold my knees close and
cast my gaze downward
Suddenly I feel like I’m going to crumble
At this rate, at this rate,
The distant exit we dash toward together
is still within reach. Now, let us
smile and gaze into each other
Your guileless, innocent face
bears a jumble and medley of feelings
Even when you’ve lost your own way, you remain too kind
I call out your name again and again
Even if the future is uncertain
It pains me just to think of what I can’t let go
I’m right here
I’m right here
You know there is always a place for you to return to, here
And that’ll never change
With these feelings that remain.

(Puella Magi Madoka Magica)
(Original/Official art can be found below, I don’t own the official artwork and this specific art piece was made just for fun.)
Just a stupid idea I decided to go through with after all.. I was drawing something else entirely but then I heard this song on my old anime playlist; my hand just slipped and I couldn’t stop myself from drawing this Madoka Magica parody (or tragedy perhaps in this case). I think I have just crossed that very subtle line of cringe when it comes to this art piece but I liked the final result quite a lot myself so I wanted to share it with you guys :’3
I just think that the lyrics of this song are so amazingly suitable with Lucas and Claus as well, and they all (Sayaka and Kyoko too) end up in pretty painful situations in the end of their character arcs.
Most of the times I get my inspiration from music and especially the mood that the music brings around me. In this case though, it was the lyrics and the setting of that ending picture that led me into this project, I consciously copied the scene from the original picture pretty straightforwardly because I wanted to get the same aesthetics in to my art, however, I still wanted to bring my own style with it as well so it’s recognizable that the picture is done with my art pattern but the composition is copied from somewhere else on purpose, if that makes any sense.
With this said, I don’t own any rights to the original art piece that can be found below or the song and its lyrics, I don’t get any kind of financial benefit from this, I just wanted to have some fun : ) . The original art is from the episode 9 of Puella Magi Madoka Magica series with Sayaka’s and Kyoko’s character song “And I’m home”.

More art from my oldies are goldies gallery, this time the year is 2014! I uploaded this piece on my personal Tumblr years ago but I wanted to add it on my art portfolio as well.. Sorry about reposting!!
An extremely strange crossover fan work from Rayman and Puella Magi Madoka Magica anime series. I got inspired from Unakimochi’s Rayman magical girl artwork on tumblr and I wanted to design Rayman’s own magical girl boy outfit. So there you have it, magical boy Rayman and Ales Mansay Incubator to make your day better! (By the way, my next artwork is going to be something Madoka-crossover-parody related as well so this serves as a great awkward transition between them, shame on me now).
Even though this piece is already six years old, I’m still very happy how it came out! Most of the times I can’t even look my old art but this is a nice exception to that pattern. Yeah, the idea is strange, I know; there is basically no connection between these series whatsoever (except the fact that the protagonists trust someone who pretty much betrays them in the end) But I remember having a good time while making this, so no regrets!

“..the rain on that day brought me a distant memory of the syrupy ink droplets in Picture City all those years ago, that was a sloppy place for sure.”
What a great day to publish some oldies!
Inking is definitely my favourite technique when it comes to making art, I simply love creating details and shadows using only lines and patterns! : 3
This particular sketch is from somewhere between 2012-2013 (-ish), I guess? Honestly, I can’t remember :“D I never bothered to mark any dates at the time. The sketch itself is old as hell but the inking work was done only last year.
Art supplies used: Nan-king intense indian ink, Sakura colour/pigma archival ink and Deleter fountain pen.

“Claus & Lucas, the Sunflower Twins”
A slightly older sketch I decided to colour for the celebration of my mum’s birthday. She always loves the drawings I make despite her lack of knowledge about the series I usually draw fan art from. I haven’t drawn or coloured anything for her in ages so now I thought I definitely should, since I’ve had quite a lot free time due the current situation of the world.
I still hate drawing backgrounds though, so I must apologise the boring, blurred mess I created this time.. Well, this was meant to be a bit more simple piece after all, so I guess it’s good enough.
(And I know that the stripes on Claus’ shirt are more blueish tinted, cyan coloured to be exact, but I just didn’t feel to correct the mistake.)

Hop and Gloria - Slumbering Weald
Some cutesy lovey-dovey fan art I illustrated from the new Pokémon Sword and Shield games. l ended up liking the original sketch quite a lot so I decided to digipaint it as well! Rival shipping is the best shipping <3
This art piece is dedicated to my dear jenchour who half-jokingly requested this from me and because I had wanted to draw this couple anyways, I felt like killing two birds with one stone. .
I used Paint tool SAI for the colouring part and Photoshop CS6 for the final polishing.

“Anything could come true, as long as we prayed from the bottom of our hearts.”
I was feeling very sad and anxious a little while ago, so I ended up drawing this. I feel much better now though, so there’s no need to worry!
Right now I’m just experiencing frustration because this didn’t end up the way I actually imagined it to be and I wasted so much time on trying different things and nothing seemed to please me in the end.. and I actually started to dislike this at some point, mostly because I know that I can do better than this.
Also, I think this is not a surprise for any of you, but I really do have hard feelings for drawing backgrounds. I know it’s necessary if you want to improve your artwork and skills but I just find background drawing remarkably tiresome. But for now, case closed.

I’ve been listening to an Icelandic artist called Björk lately, that’s where the title and inspiration to this work comes from.
Since Love is a very important theme in the Mother games/Earthbound, I found it quite fitting to draw Lucas again. He’s such a precious baby boy.

“Sonic’s the name, speed’s my game!”
We went to see the new Sonic the Hedgehog movie at the cinema a couple of months ago with my friends and I must say, I am freaking surprised how good it was! So obviously, I just had to draw some fan art from this nostalgic video game series, just for old times’ sake (I am referring to the times when I drew Sonic fan art, A LOT, long ago, we don’t talk about it). My style has changed recognisably from those days and I’m very satisfied with how this came out! I really have improved my skills after all these years!
I hope you’ll like it too!
Can be found on Deviantart as well.
(And I’m so so sorry about the typo! I can’t fix it anymore so just try to bear with that! OK? Note to self: Don’t work at night)
