Just a collection of pages from my sketchbook over the last half year. Enjoy! The following are all fanart for the game Palia, which I spent much of August and September obsessing over. (PS, Palia is a free game that I recommend trying out! You can even join on my

I recently had the chance to try out 3D modeling for the first time! This apple here is the first model I've made! I haven't had a particularly strong interest in getting into 3D modeling, but a friend offered to teach a group of us how
This is my first experiment with making a pattern for sale! I learned my way around Inkscape to make this, which was pretty exciting, since it's been many years since I did vector art. Inkscape is pretty cool and easier than I expected to work with! (Though I
