SKY MERMAY 2023.

W1: BUTTERFLY W2: CRAB W3: JELLYFISH W4: KRILL W5: MANTA

Last year, I hosted a Sky-themed MerMay challenge on Instagram! I designed these characters as my own entries for it, but due to interest/energy issues (worsened by Dopamine Jail at the time), I unfortunately had to leave it unfinished. Since then, I've been yearning to show off these lovely characters, as there was a lot of joy designing them out in my old backyard. So I made this doodle with some rough marker rendering.

They now have a place within the Sky Kingdom, as a semi-secret society of Light Children who switch between capes and mermaid tails. Sort of like the hypogrypths in My Little Pony G4! They all worship ASEA, the goddess of ABZU whom Tapushea was split from, which is how they switch between air and water.

You are my second chance.

Made this back in October last year, shortly after checking out THE OLDEST VIEW by Kane Pixels alongside my beloved friends. Having seen that the rolling giant is based on a real statue and that his hands were leaves really ignited my imagination. Had a good time drawing this!

My young little goddess is going to help this being come back to life .... or something, I do not know.

Taken from one of my Personal Art Diaries.

KIDDE | キドー (PRIMARY LOOKS)

What you're looking at is Kidde's main reference, first being made on November 2021, to December 2022, then on July 2023.

Retrospective thoughts under the cut!

It's - kind of wild to see not just the overall visual improvement of her reference overall, but to also behold the evolution of her being.

Initially, she was very mysterious to me when I created her first ever reference - not one for much conversation, very spacey, dainty and frail in form. I learned quickly that she was definitely some sort of goddess in disguise but had no idea what of really. Essentially, she kind of lacked a personality pretty much.

In 2022's reference, much more of Kidde became known to me - she is THE Primordial Moth and an ancient soul from a past iteration of my Paracosm (more on that another day). And literally - she is my daughter; the embodiment of who is to become my firstborn child someday (apologies if i sound whack there; it's very personal.). While she was still overall quiet, she developed hobbies, preferences, and overall becoming quite elegant, as reflected with her lowered eyes.

Now come 2023 .... Kidde is a fully-fledged person at this point. Her eyes developed more life as I learned more about her - her fears, her dislikes, her personal thoughts and opinions on things. Now! SHE SPEAKS! She speaks lackadaisically, or speaks bold statements ever so calmly, or speaks with great conviction for those who can't speak up - a fledgling goddess sharing the ways of mortalhood to other D. Souls and also enjoying said life alongside her precious M. Soul friends. She knows how to fight, she's learning to gain her own Karma - yet she is still very cute, very moth-like .... but also developing well as a little goddess and daughter of me, THE HOST.

Speaking as both her creator and mother, I'm genuinely excited to see how she continues to develop and grow as we move into 2024. ♥

"To find your purpose or how you wish to exist ... that's just up to you."

GABRIEL + SIR ELDER. ARCH-ANGEL / SERAPHIM.

Made this a good while ago, like during the summer, using my fun glass dip pen. They get along pretty great.

Days of Bloom 2024 was a very pleasant experience!! Really loved this year's new theme and the beauty of the event's peak. I was experiencing PMS fatigue (read: sleepy bitch disease) at the time it was happening, so here is a simple illustration of Kidde and Akocuzo in their fits for this year. AND KIDDE ACTUALLY FELT COMFORTABLE WEARING SHOES FOR ONCE!!!!

[mothgoddesss]

"Why HERE?! In front of EDEN?! Why can't we take the shot by the Belonging Statues like every other normal Light kid?!" "Cuz I am not like every other normal Light kid~! Strike a pose, doofus!"

THANK YOU! DAYS OF BLOOM 2024.

I really enjoyed how Days of Love for 2024 focused on more than just romantic relationships. For me, sibling relationships are very important to me, so I have two sisters here taking a photo together. Of course the older one (in the purple cape) is a little chaotic and wanted a more interesting shot location.

"You are correct, Morvannah. The Primordial Moth of ancient legend is indeed far inferior than you. From whom I have broken off from."

10 DECEMBER 2023 - TELFOSO has finally reached 12 STARS~!! I never thought I'd see the day where we have achieved true veteran status (despite how broke we often are).

My beautiful little goddess, in radiant scarlet .... she has grown so, so much!!! 。゜゜(´Ｏ`) ゜゜。

PIRA by SAYU (@omelotte ). they/them

A quiet veteran Child of Light, but once Pira feels comfortable around you, they will show you a whole new world based on their findings of the Sky Kingdom's history.

Did a doodle page dedicated to Sayu's character, who also mentored Kidde. They are very autistic about history and love tea. <3

SKYTOBER 2022 ILLUSTRATION SERIES.

WEEK 2 (OCTOBER 9TH - OCTOBER 15TH).

WEEK 1 | x | WEEK 3 | WEEK 4

Week 2 of my SKYTOBER 2022 Illustration Series!  Something about the prompts of that week *really* ignited my art muse, thus I began deviating from the original “only sketches” plan and let myself add color using different medium approaches!  This week’s cover art is inspired by the works of 96YUZU, one of my all-time favorite Sky artists.

Art captions below the cut!

09 PERFORMANCE: “YO YO YO!!  This is DJ KRILLIN’ AND PARTY KRILL, READY TO LIGHT UP THE STARS-!!  LEMME HEAR THOSE SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAMS~!!!”  Upon learning how to use a DJ set in realms beyond the Sky Kingdom, Azzarah and PARTY begin getting some special gigs to some parties!

10 MEDITATION: Kidde and Moro found a meditation candle from Roneku, and Kidde’s guts are busted!!  Moro, however seems to not find his brother’s message as hilarious...

11 RAINBOW: “You’re the reason why I try my best to spread rainbows n’ good vibes everywhere I go .... ‘cuz you’re my rainbow in a dead kingdom.  I’ll always adora ya, my beautiful little goddess. ♥”

12 NEW FRIEND: Upon the newly born Sissyin feeling overwhelmed from boisterous bullies, a smaller figure approaches. “Here.  This is for you.  I’ll take you to a less overwhelming place.”

13 FREE DAY: “I’ll triumph.  Against all the odds that stand in my way.”

14 LAZY TIMES: If you find Kidde asleep, you may as well leave for a while; once she falls asleep, there’s no chance of waking her up! Thus she missed a candle run with her friends that day.

15 UNDERWATER: “Nothing will matter here. Not now. Or ever.” After having failed to safe The Primordial Moth from his corrupted brother and THE SEEKER, the other Elder of the Valley accepted their fate as they sank further and further into the infinite underwater abyss.

DAYS OF SUNLIGHT 2023.

Forgot to post on Tumblr (AGAIN!), but I ended up completing these a month after the event ended. (￣ ￣|||)

Despite the steeper and frequent energy slumps, I'm glad I still saw these to the end. WE HAVE!

Kidde receiving a Popsicle from a baby jelly (she did NOT STEAL IT)

Tapushea staying hydrated (like the water goddess she is).

The dopey brothers Roneku (by @monarch-moon) and Moro ... who is MASKLESS!!!

Pira (by Sayu) and Sissyin, who is apparently also a cave creature, as she does not have any eyes.

My summer was a lovely one, filled with friends, deep adoration for V1, and ponies. ♥

YOU BETTER GET THIS STRAIGHT WISE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! WE'RE NOT THREATENED BY YOUR LIES OR, YOUR GOOD-BYES!

SISTER SLEDGE - ALL AMERICAN GIRLS. 20 DECEMBER 2021.

One of those moments where a song inspires something kind of unrelated to the lyrics but is cool nonethless. I was still pretty new to drawing Elder-kun at the time, but I was really becoming inspired by certain Japanese Sky artists to improve upon how i drew them.

Items around him are Paracosm-related shenaniganry. Elder-kun. ♥

[mothgoddesss]

"I remember now."

From ARC III of my Paracosm's main storyline - THE LORD had been hunting for a small yet integral little goddess within SHAYAMIN's karmic pool - THE PRIMORDIAL MOTH. After having his servants gather potential candidates, the D. mantas that guard the entrance to SHAYAMIN itself (read: Heaven/Orbit) reveal that it was actually plain ol' Kidde all along ..... who would've thought that a nothing moth girl among thousands of others have been the one to walk the world before it even took shape?

This was actually made as a gallery icon for my DeviantArt, but it also makes for a nice way to illustrate such a paramount scene within the MCS!!

【 ⸻🎔 HEART ORDERS: APRIL EVENT. 🎔⸻】

In order (all from IG) .....

❥ DRAKAR by @/arauk.draws ❥ YASHA by @/sky.yash08 ❥ SUZANNA by @/emperor.ambrose ❥ REMI by @/blazetmcart ❥ MASQUERADE by @/flowery.rat ❥ EDHRIS by @/skykid.alex.riyel ❥ DALENE by @/sky_dalene

All artwork is done traditionally, with touch-ups made using CLIP STUDIO PAINT PRO. Clients have received the original res commissions via email.

Here are some heart orders from the April double heart event! I only open heart orders during these because it helps speed up the payment process.

The first three heart orders were the last ones done with my old chibi style, as I felt no satisfaction for it being "chibi" and it looked awkward at times. These smaller, simpler ones feel a lot more enjoyable to create for people! ^v^

SKYTOBER 2022 ILLUSTRATION SERIES.

WEEK 1 (OCTOBER 1ST - OCTOBER 8TH).

X | WEEK 2 | WEEK 3 | WEEK 4

This was my first time ever participating in Skytober!  Despite the daily prompts, I somehow managed to finish everything!  I kept them as sketches so that this would be feasible.  Here is the collection of the first week.

Character captions below the cut!

01 ABYSS: “I know it’s strange for your master to be looking out for us ... With all that is happening, I believe that it is best that we look out for each other, too.” TAPUSHEA, the overseeing goddess of the water, makes an unlikely alliance with the servant of her karmic opposite, The Leviathan.

02 BLOOM: Kidde adorns herself in blossoming attire as spring draws near.  She sips her tea in pure bliss as a gentle breeze passes in the air.

03 MANTA: “Your party Krill doesn’t have a thing on my singing manta! BEHOLD - The melody of DJ MANTA RAYE!”  Once close friends with Dj KRILLIN’, DJ Manta Raye stays as a strong opposing force with her singing Manta, LUXIS!

04 CAMPING: The Elders have decided to go camping, where the Valley twins attempt to tell a scary legend of those who feast on the people of Light ... INCLUDING ELDERS!  Miss Forest is not phased at all.

05 SHATTERING: “WITHIN YOUR HATE FOR THE WORLD COMES GREAT STRENGTH. CALL UPON ME, AND I WILL GRANT YOU THE TRUE THRONE YOU RIGHTEOUSLY DESERVE.”

06 BABY JELLYFISH: Tapushea’s arch angel enjoys time with her infant subjects.

07 SKY KIDS: “I’m sorry, Kidde.  I failed you.” Noye has come to rescue Kidde from Morvannah’s violent grasp, but he’s a bit too late.

08 TEA PARTY: As the sun bathes all within its amber hue, the children laugh and banter among the calming water at the beachside.  Tapushea’s joy manifests in the form of seashell blessings washing up upon the shore.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, FRICKERS OF THE FRICK RACE!!

We kick of 2024 with a comic I started back in FREAKING AUGUST-!! SOLANNE CONTINUUM presents "SUIKAWARI", based on the Japanese summer activity! Which - they are playing mildly incorrectly (person is supposed to be spun around until dizzy and they whack with a stick, NOT A DIVINE KATANA!).

Also, it's been a HOT minute since I've featured our beloved Valley Elders (ESPECIALLY ELDER-KUN ♥), but lo - another Husband appears forth! He's just trying to make up with Kidde for starting off on the wrong foot back in May www

Overall, despite the compounded focus/energy/interest issues, I managed to get this done. As a Host (read: creator), there is such an IMMENSE satisfaction taking a Paracosm scene out of my head and onto paper, and it always makes the comic-making toil worthwhile.

ARTFIGHT!!! 2022 attacks/friendly fires.

IT BECKONS ONCE MORE! So I thought I'd share the Sky-related Artfight pieces I made last year!
