Welcome to Demon school Iruma-Kun

welcome to demon school iruma-kun has been my favorite manga for since 2017 (around its first release date). It first captivated me with its main character, Iruma. The character growth, the pacing, the art is all something that greatly inspires me and all the character arcs of these characters make me want to continue to create more.Iruma is probably my all time favorite character! His ambition and his indifference to gender norms are some of my favorite character traits from him. On that note, he is my favorite character to cosplay, especially in his evil irumi form!Furthermore if you have not read the mafia offical AU it is amazing and the style of Hiro has been greatly influential as osamu nishi's has been!I 100% recommend giving this masterpiece a read and supporting the official release!(also if you are seeing some WTDSIK stuff here that you haven't seen on my Instagram I usually post them as sketches or all on twitter and bluesky!)


One Piece

Some of you already know how much I love one piece, but you may ask who is my favorite character and when did I start watching it(I'm an anime watcher). Now i'll answer!I basically started watching it about 9 years ago! It basically got me into art because I loved the story and characters so much.
My favorite official arc has to be Enies lobby (although egghead is getting close). And my favorite non cannon filler arc is G-5 but Spa island is a close second.
And last, who may have guessed it but my favorite characters right now are Luffy, Law and Sanji!
I often do regular fanart of luffy but you can see a bunch of my sketches on my sketch accounts! otherwise I have many WIPS I am currently working on as well as other media for my OCs and other fandoms!


Land of the Lustrous

I originally started this series through its 3d animated anime series. The anime was only cleared for one season and left off on a cliffhanger, so I desperately picked up the manga and read all of it. The charcters are hard to tell apart in the managa quite a bit but the writing of phos' character is insane. With the stuff that happens with "Sensei" to ghost quartz/Cairngorm arc in relation to phos.


This is some art of my sona! I was inspired by bunnies and stingrays as some have been able to discern from the design but little, so many, know that my sona's “bunny ear “part is actually the main body! You may also see some that have multiple color schemes or different outfits, these are either my sona if they were in a different universe or older designs! Honestly think of Miku who has her thousands of designs, that's basically what I do to my sona!Little known fact my first original design for my sona was actually fully bunny themed with pink hair, two hydrangea pieces and twin tails.

Wow you made it this far!
I guess you can see my silly personal website.

To the right of this text is my most recently finished sketchbook and some of my most recent work!I do a bunch of collage as well as painting and sketching! This one took me about a year and a half, which is about half a year longer than I usually take. On that note, this is my 7th ever sketchbook! hopefully there will be more to come and lots more art to be shared.






This Is a really old post in which I used probably 20 different digitally drawn art pieces to put the faces in a head turn. I think it was kind of successful but only due to the tweaking of the orientation of the images.Other than that this ancient art has mostly been archived of my page, so there may be some pieces that have some old story fragments I have been working on or outdated designs.












Ok bye!

Its my evil mini paint book!
To the left is a mini book I painted and gessoed over to make a paint sketchbook! This is one of the pieces I did(my oc Nerium Valdis). NO, she is not green I just felt like making her green she is actuially quite the opposite being red themed.
