New Years postcard I drew for the Year of the Snake (2025)!

I wanted to try and draw the bird fam in traditional clothing for the new year. This was also my first new years card I drew!

I'm still happy with how it turned out ^o^

I really love Kokoro and her design. Also her theme is just so good. If you haven't already, you should listen to ZYTOKINE'S '>>>>' album which is exclusively arranges of her theme \o/

A print I'll have at Touhoufest next month!

My two idiots, tbh.

With Pyrus!

Yotsuba parody with bird family! I've been wanting to redraw this image for so long y_y)

Art summary year 2024 Happy 10 years of art summaries!

2024 was a year full of OCs as I started my first DnD campaign and I decided to seriously start focusing more on my original characters.

As I predicted last year, outside of OC stuff, I drew a lot of Touhou, and I'll be continuing that trend into next year.

My goal for this year is to start drawing a comic for my OCs. For real this time. I have some things drafted and I want to stop being nervous about putting it out into the world. I know none of my ideas are original, but I want to do something I enjoy and I'm proud of so I'd like to have the confidence to do that.

Thank you to everyone that's stuck by for the past 10 years. I hope to continue to draw for 10 more.

Keeps redrawing my OC ships as memes lol <3

I got a button maker thanks to kofi donations! I decided to practice making some with my daughter, Pyrus, and her two dads <3

I'd really like to celebrate and practice making more by doing a custom OC / original character button giveaway on my Twitter so hoping to do that in October?

もうすぐ秋なので、ホウソーンで烏天狗服 (´∀`) ハーピーにはお似合い╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯

It's almost autumn, so here's Hawthorne in karasu tengu attire <3 I think it works for him because he's a harpy.

Small cuckoo daughter, Pyrus.

Two of my favorite Paper Mario partners! I wanted to draw 2 other fave girls, but TBD...

I'll be making these into pins (and maybe stickers?)

I love Paper Mario so so much!!

My yearly character sheet for one of my OC's for art fight \o/;

Drawing bird feet was so difficult, but I'm glad I was able to push through and draw them. Hawthorne is definitely one of the harder character designs I've made because I'm not very good at animals.

I haven't really drawn drawn in a while so looking forward to drawing everyone's characters next month!

Hopefully one day I'll draw Hawthorne with his regular clothing...

Orin postcard for Touhoufest next month!

I don't know if anyone here specifically follows me for my OC content, but if you do (for some reason even though I draw them maybe only a few times a year, it's very sporadic), I just wanted to say thank you, and I appreciate you so much.

I always get very shy drawing OC content because it's very much for myself, and sometimes the concepts are very silly, and it's very scary to put yourself and your ideas out there, especially if they seem cliche?

So to anyone that likes and enjoys my self-indulgent (mostly) monster boys, thank you!

Please talk to me about your OCs! I love talking about my OCs, too!

Also if you want to see more of them, feel free to let me know as well ^o^ I know I'm not a big name or fast artist, but I still love talking to everyone and making friends.

If you're interested at all, my tag for my OCs are: #original - catch all OC tag, not necessarily from the same world #32keta - OCs that are from the same world and interact with each other

On your touhou pins, it says that they'll be shipped around late January. Now that we're closer to the deadline, do you know when you'll ship them out? I'm really excited to get them!

Hey there! Thanks for the message!

The tracking for the pins said they were out for delivery this morning, but didn't show up at my residence, so I'm going to assume that they'll be delivered tomorrow, or by the end of the week. (I'm like super bummed they didn't show up...) Rest assured, we're still on schedule and I'm hoping to get the shipments out this week or next week if they come on Saturday.

Feel free to follow my Twitter @_velpi where I post updates about my merch and shipping periodically as I get notified.

If you have other questions or are feeling especially anxious, don't be afraid to reach out, but I really appreciate your patience!

Art summary year 2023

A lot of Touhou this year! The beginning of the year had me sewing a lot, but I was able to join a few smaller projects, so that was fun.

New AA stuff had me explore a new chibi style that I've enjoyed drawing in recently. I also started my first DND campaign recently, and have drawn a lot as of November, but I can't publicly post the drawings yet or they are just doodles. Just know that I've drawn a lot this past 2 months than I have in a while. And it's all OC stuff!

2024 will have me drawing a lot of Touhou for an event in April. I'm also looking forward to drawing from some older fandoms that will be having anniversaries soon.

I haven't been drawing 'regular proportions' or in a 'regular anime style' recently, so I'm always afraid of scaring people off that have liked my work in that style vs the style I draw in now.

Thank you to everyone that's stuck around for so long. I appreciate everyone's support and to those that enjoy my works. Last year was not good, but I hope 2024 will inspire me to want to continue to draw, and I hope one day my art can inspire someone artistically as well.
