Pug Naptime
These pugs taking a nap are a part of a series where I take dogs and illustrate them alongside dishes that represent their country and its culture. This one is meant to represent pugs and Chinese tea, bok choy, and dumplings (except that the pugs ate the dumplings!).
Anais
Character design for my creepy white mage/cleric original character, Anais. Painted in photoshop.
Contessa
Contessa is an original character of my own who you would not want to mess with. She's not evil; but she's not quite friendly, either. Painted in Photoshop.
Pyrra in Green
Green is my original character Pyrra's main color. Just a fun digital sketch of her done in photoshop to highlight her primary color in her designs.
Arrival
Arrival is a concept for an environment heavily inspired by the city of Yharnam from Bloodborne. Painted digitally in Photoshop.
Elizabeth Lavenza
Wife of Victor Frankenstein
Nikita
Nikita is another original character of mine who belongs to a timeline a little less pleasant than most. I still don't think she has enough swords. Sketched traditionally with mechanical pencil.
Chalk Pyrra
An experimental digital painting where I took Pyrra and tried to use Photoshop to create a more traditional looking piece.
Me and my Man!
In honor of my boyfriend and creative partner, Matthew, I created this quick little piece in Photoshop one day to try and cheer him up. It worked!
Cavalier Sketch
I'll be joining another D&D campaign soon, and that means another character is in the works. She's a cavalier working towards a tank build who has a secret inner rage problem. If you can think of a name, please tell me!
Chihuahua Relleno
This little guy ate all the meat inside the chile relleno! Part of my series linking dogs to their country and respective culture's food.
Vodka
Vodka is a character belonging to a popular mobile game, Food Fantasy. This digital painting, was entered in a fan art contest for Food Fantasy featuring their beautiful character, Vodka, illustrated in my own digital style.
Partners
A little vampire girl being hunted by the church runs into one of the best fighters in the city who needs to find a greater purpose. Both digitally painted in Photoshop. Inspired by Bloodborne.
Buru
The Buru is a fun little creature I created for a hybrid animal project. He is part chipmunk, part raccoon, and part bat! Protect him! Painted digitally in Photoshop.
Rumination
Sometimes art can be therapeutic in times of sadness. Sometimes it leads to things that look nice. Sketched traditionally with ballpoint pen.
Pyrra Portrait
One of my first digitally painted Portraits of Pyrra. Done in Photoshop.
Anais and her Favorite Things
Anais' healing abilities is about 20% magic and 80% sheer madness. Here are some of her favorite things! Sketched traditionally with ballpoint pen.
Corgis and Cream
The corgis ate your scones, but you can't be mad at them because they're too cute. Part of a series representing dogs and the country and culture that they come from. Illustrated digitally in Photoshop.
Lavinia Portrait
Lavinia Tredwell is one of the very first original characters I made that truly kept my attention. I even cut my hair to look like hers after a while! She's a gunslinger with a good heart and even better aim, but she's not always the brightest. Painted digitally in Krita.
