I hate that every time I write back here on Hive, I will inevitable have to say, "It's been a while!" But, well, life. (As if that says a lot, but I feel that you'd understand.) I think it is

I think I just went through a roller coaster of... mood? emotions? stress? over the last month. It was crazy. I didn't think I'd survive the month without losing it, but I'm here, sane, having successfully

For the first time in over one month, I once again drew something digitally. And that's a feat for me, considering the art slump I'd been in, and the sort of schedule I have lived by. To get me going,

I hate to start this post this way, but I will anyway: It's been a long time! How have you been? Horrific June Some others -- like my friends and family -- knew how bad the month of June had been for me.

Step on me, Levi! Or so many fangirls say. And, well, that (unapologetically) includes me. Who doesn't love Levi Ackerman? In this fan art, which also happens to be my participation to Noise.cash's ArtPark

No, I don't watch Hunter x Hunter. You're free to grab me by the shoulders, shake me around, and ask, "Why?!" It isn't that it didn't appeal to me. It was just that I didn't have the platform

I have been in an intense period of revamping old artworks. More than revamping, I think it's more fitting to call it recreating. There are some artworks from 2020 that I used to like as soon as I drew

Nezuko Kamado A couple of months (weeks?) back, I drew a Demon Slayer fan art featuring Shinobu Kochou. This time, as participation in ArtPark DTIYS Challenge Week 11, here's another fan art. Drawing Nezuko

Boa Hancock The Pirate Princess Boa Hancock is a character from the popular manga and anime, One Piece. Captain of the Kuja Pirates, she was initially an antagonist in one of the many arcs of the story,

So I enjoy doing painting exercises lately. What better way to do them than by painting through reference? Painting the Dolls I'm keen on painting people. It's pretty apparent in my timeline. Then one

Nanami Kento I've seen many anime and read just as much manga. There are plots that were all right but wouldn't stick, and there were also characters that were too plain, I immediately forget about them.

I intend for this particular post to be a long one, so if you're ready and are a willing reader, then please join me as I talk about my latest digital painting. Because it was a long ride creating this,

I love spring I love spring, but only in pictures. Where I live, there's no winter, spring, summer, and autumn. Only dry and wet seasons -- that's a tropical country for you. If I were given the chance

Remember 0416 Have you ever cried for someone else? To the point that you believe your heart is breaking so much for them. I did. In fact, many times. Out of all the times I cried for someone else, I don't

I haven't been feeling particularly well in the past few days. I felt like I hit a roadblock or something, and unable to finish things I started, be it a task for work or a painting. I am getting so impatient

This is Diletta This is Diletta. She was my first ever digital portrait painting model. I think I did her justice this year -- a result of nearly one year of dedicated practice. Like any other days, I

Working full time in the computational science field can get crazy. Many times, it required me having to make do with 3 hours of sleep in as much as two weeks straight. It was only back last year, when

The King is never alone. In her eyes, she is the only person in the world before her. But just a minuscule movement, a whisper of a sound, and a voice that will call out to her, she knows. She is never

Time is ticking. Time is ticking, and she's fading away. Her world feels dreary. To her, it is the perfect time to wait by her grave and let time dissolve her into nothingness Long post ahead. Maybe. :)

Enchanted It had been days since he was transported to this very odd world. He had encountered all sorts of creatures - some, he'd never even imagined existed. He was awed, but more than anything, he was
