Things that I would like to do include in future projects...

  • Otome games / dating sims

  • RPG games

  • Games with lots of plot and character lore that I get to design

  • Games with Fantasy elements

  • Idle phone games (cutesy and relaxing, maybe a cafe or something where you collect things)

  • potentially nsfw themes

Looking for an artist that wants to do something in the above? Interested in my ideas for them? Feel free to get in contact- I am always open for collaborative projects ideas.

Commission Portfolio

For commission reference purposes, I've mainly put examples up here of either personal work, or work I've done for others, either as gifts or commissions. Prints and fanwork can be found on my tumblr here:

Fully Rendered Work

These are pieces I have put in a lot of time perfecting, and typically haven't done many shortcuts. These take a lot of effort.

Simpler Work

With these pieces, I've focused more on the portrayal of the idea rather than how clean and perfect everything is. I'm still very proud of these pieces, but they are quicker to do.

Sketches or Chibis

Reference Shots / Sheets

Convention Portfolio

Here you can find fanwork pieces I have made for sale at conventions and markets. This is mainly for portfolio purposes- if you want to buy these, please keep an eye on social media for the events I will be selling these at.DO NOT repost these works

This is a portfolio
note: currently working on taking photos of all new merch, the following two photos include everything I currently have minus the floral tapes below!

"Magazine Style" Prints (Jojo's)

These prints are specifically inspired by Araki's tendency to reference Magazine covers for his iconic Jojo's poses. From that, I've gone back to the roots of the inspiration, and made some Magazine cover-like prints of various Jojo's characters.

All Other Prints

Decorative Tape

Floral themes on clear decorative tape

Stickers and Charms

Sticker sheets, meme stickers, and others.

Chibi's

These chibis are available as either stickers or charms. Some are in sets as well!

Upcoming Merchandise

Please be aware some of these are WIP's and some of these are waiting to be printed and may look different once printed.

Unfinished Assets

Unfinished Visual Novel Dating Sim c. 2023
Here you can see some of my work process- unfortunately, this game team got cancelled mid game jam. The characters were a part of a large cast of mythological based characters, and each design was done from scratch and meticulously thought out and studied. Each design includes various pieces of symbolism, and was a good test of my ability as a character designer.

Design work:


Unfinished Farm Dating Game (?) c. 2020
Concept for this was Stardew Valley-esque, but with D&D elements. Unfortunately, this project fell through fairly early. The following are character designs only- not sprite work, just sketches and doodles, and a mockup of the pixel assets I had created for the gameplay element.
