A Home for Flowers - (08/20/2026)
I made this while feeling super creative, and I felt the need to express that visually. I wanted to illustrate how I feel on the inside - a home for unbridled creativity and expression in the form of flowers, foliage, and bugs, that can bottle up in you. They can become something that must escape.

MONUMENT - (09/1/2026)
Based off of the glass beach song "commatose", I really resonated with the lyric "She was soaked into the carpet, and her clothes monument to the fear that has taken hold, I couldn't even hear you". commatose is genuinely one of my favorite songs of all time, and I've had this image stuck in my head for months at the time of writing this (which is why it's in the background, which is why it's there lol). I always associated the song with the art on the album cover of the sea angels, haha, and I think that had a large influence in how I view that song. It's like, visually seafoam green accented with orange.

FUEL THE MACHINE - (4/25/2026)
Inspired by both Mili's song "world.execute(me);" and VRC creator Shopow's world "Regis Reincarnatio", I made this as sort of an Anti-AI piece, as it depicts a my character facing away, blissfully unaware of the forge beyond. The forge is supposed to represent a machine that yearns for a hunger that cannot be quenched. (bleh. i kinda halfassed this explaination tbh)

IN TOO DEEP - (10/11/2026)
Finally had time to work on personal art. I felt a lot of struggle to be more social and I kind of blamed it on myself for a while, and i really thought that I was in too deep to get out of certain parts of my life. After doing some self-reflection, I've been able to regain a bit of my social skills and I'm more comfortable with talking to friends again. Inspired by Tokyo Jihen's "Sōnan" as well as The Great Pumpkin Waltz by Vince Guaraldi, I went live on 10/8/2026 and stared at this circle that I had on my page for a solid 30 minutes trying to draw, then went on Pinterest for like 30 minutes until I found something pretty, and used it to practice rendering as well as an outlet to express myself.
