Wahhh no way is it Art vs Artist 2024?!?!
Where’d time go?
Time! Time? TIME WHERE R U
This year has been so, so much fun! I don’t really know where to start. It’s been such a big LEAP for my art journey. I’ve enjoyed creating more and also exploring other mediums too! I’ve started painting more in acrylics as well as venturing more into silly digital stuff and tried making little animations, even some with …FOUR WHOLE FRAMES! Groundbreaking, I know! 💥
I didn’t leave behind my silly little GEOMETRY KIT though! I’ll never get tired of angles and circles 😂 there’s little Easter eggs in each painting if you can solve them. Particular angles, numbers, etc. if you can it’ll be mighty impressive but I also feel like it’s kinda impossible since they’re only very specific numbers to me - so please don’t do it ahaha it’ll be a bit of a waste of time! 😅
My favourite bit of this year has been seeing you guys! My heart is so full! It feels like so much empty space between cons and events because I miss you!
Honestly I am so grateful for all of the support and kindness you’ve all shown me. I think no matter how many years I do this, no matter how many years I am able to walk on this little earth I will forever be overwhelmed and full of gratitude 😭💕 i can’t believe you guys like my artwork - it really just blows my mind! Thank you, so so much. I want to NYOOOOOOM to you all and give you the biggest hugs ever!!
Thank you for being with me on this journey!
Have a splendid Saturday everyone!

ART VS ARTIST 2025! ( ๑ ˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و ♡
Thank you so, SO much you guys for an incredible year!! <3
Words fail me daily because I’m so overwhelmed by how kind you’ve all been to me and the incredible amount of support you show for me and my silly art adventures! 。°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°。 💕 I really don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this but, WHATEVER SORCERY IS WORKING ITS MAGIC, THANK U!
It’s been such an amazing year and I’m so glad I got to go through it with all of you! ٩( ᐛ )و
A few notes! ^^/
For this year I wanted to draw things I’d not attempted before! Drawing mobile suits from the Gundam universe started off so nerve-wracking but now, at the end of this year they’ve become my favourite thing to draw! (They’re basically a bunch of geometric shapes standing on each other in a trenchcoat right? (˶•̀ ᎑-˶)HEH HEH. …and you know how much I love geometry…!!)
I also wanted to draw more things that I thought might make you guys smile, or laugh! The world is so bleak sometimes, but your friendship always brings me out from the darkness. So what better way than to try to repay the favour right? ^^/
This year was the first year I entered the GBWC! And what a HONKER of an entry that was! 😆 I genuinely did not expect such a positive reception! I’m so grateful to you guys for the kind words! (つ╥﹏╥)つ 💕
Conventions!! Any opportunity to meet you guys is such a blessing. to all my friends (yes, you!!) both new and old, I love you all so, so much! AHHH COME LET ME SQUEEZE U WITH HUGS <3 (˶°ㅁ°) 💕
And egad! I got to hang out with the UK Gundam community in the form of the @the.backloggers
I guarantee the sweetest community of peeps you could ever meet! As is the entire Gundam community! I really hope one day we can all meet and have the biggest and bestest build day and catch up EVER! ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻) 🔥
So, thank you 2025!!
Thank you friends!! All of you! I appreciate all of you so much. Honestly I could not have done this without your love and your kindness. And my days, I feel like the luckiest soul this side of the universe!
Have a wonderful end to 2025 and let’s have a crackin’ ‘26! ٩(˵ •̀ ᴗ •́ ˵ )و✧

NZ-666 KSHATRIYA
It’s Kshatriya! A little art study of this big ol’ mobile suit while I cannae sleep. It was so much fun working on this one. I learned a lot from painting this and my last Kshatriya painting. Thinking about light and how much I want to either reduce the concentration of watercolour paint, or completely omit paint altogether, to depict light intensity has been so useful for future projects too! ^^/
I continue my journey to paint all the suits! ALL OF THEMMMMM! >:D
Since I was a kid I always loved looking at mechs on tv, then vehicles in real life! I like to imagine that cars and trains and planes are these massive sentient metal monsters that come to life with electricity, with the ability to crush anything in their paths! I love looking at blueprints and ways things are built. I’m not actually good at building things myself but I’ve always been fascinated with geometry and shapes! Geometry has always been my favourite branch of mathematics. I still remember the Thursday when we learned about the Pythagorean theorem, the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines, and the Monday we learned about bisecting angles at school! Geometry really made the rest of maths so much more fun for me ^^”
But that’s what it is!
These mechs, these mobile suits, they’re kind of like giant mosaics of shapes! The angles are so much fun to draw and match together! AND CIRCLES O HOW I LOVE U!
In my larger paintings I usually like to hide silly numbers in each one! Eg, the angle of one thing might have an association with the angle of another thing… it’s all really silly and truly madly deeply difficult to even make heads or tails of it but it’s so fun to embed into each one! ^___^✨
Thank you for staying with me as I busy myself with work, con prep, drawing and keeping on keeping on! 💕
Have the most wonderful week guys!
I’ll zoom away to catch up on all your wonderful posts!!

ZEON WANTS YOU! 🔥👈🔥
A while ago, I was lucky enough to try screen printing for the first time!
I chose to create a Principality of Zeon propaganda-like poster featuring none other than the man, the myth, the legend himself, Char Aznable!! 🔥
This was such a fun and delightful process! It’s been such a long time since I picked up a new medium and I absolutely loved this! 💕
Each print is made by hand in multiple layers, with different screens!
If you scroll through the image slides you can see some photos of the process.
I ended up with 15 A3s that came out well!
Because they’re all handmade there were many that didn’t quite make it to the end, for various reasons, such as: misalignment of layers, varying paint opacity depending on how hard I was able to press, and in this case, because of the number of layers and text and straight borders, it all needed to line up super-precisely and in parallel with the edges of the paper, which proved to be SUUUUPER DIFFICULTY LEVEL 99999999!!!111
What I found really fun though is seeing the 15 finished pieces and seeing their uniqueness! There’s a few where the paint has not completely run through in some layers and it’s caused this shadowy/hazy effect that looks so cool and worn! (Like a ye olde poster!)
I’ll be bringing these to MCM Comic Con London if you’d like to take a look! Any remainder will also be at UK Games Expo (UKGE) ^^/ Because these are made by hand and are of a small run that won’t be repeated, they’re a little pricier than my other prints.
I really hope you like them and enjoy seeing the process even half as much as I enjoyed creating them!
Hope you’re having a swell ol’ week! Only one more day until the weekend! ^^)9 you got this!!

Go Mega Starmie!!!
use Stale Burger Toss!! >:O
to any and all badness, a questionable stale burger!!
who knows just what horrors lie inside that misleadingly soft and fluffy bread jacket! :O
Amidst con prep and my regular job I felt compelled to draw this. (Even though it does not reduce con prep in the slightest! ^^”) ..ehehe) I feel like I make the weirdest paintings when I’m trying to procrastinate from very important deadlines. OH THE POWER OF PROCRASTINATION!!!111 🔥🛌🔥
It’s also a little ode to all my loved ones going through tough times in their jobs lately.
WE GOT THIS GUYS LETSGOOOOOO!! 🔥🏌🏼♂️
I also wasn’t going to draw any more pokemon paintings for a bit but lately I’ve drawn loads, as I’m part of some very exciting custom TCG card rallies! HEHEHE.
I can’t wait to show you guys!!
But until then!
Enjoy this very canon painting!! ^^!
…^____^
……^__________^”
(What do you mean, this totally happens in the anime!! 😬🤫😅🥲)
Next post, back to our regular programming!
Hope you’re having a jolly good start to the week!! OHOHOOO

After a long and arduous battle, a little Z’Gok drifts peacefully in the waters of a secret alcove. He likes to lie on his back and float, watching the sky as it turns from the pale blue of washed denim, to navy like a suit blazer, to then BURST into illumination as the moon sprinkles tiny darts of silver over all its fibres! The blazer shimmers and dances, corpseless, amongst the sleeping clouds! The sparkles reflect in Z’Gok’s mono-eye like a quiet firework display. He dreams of being up there with the stars 💫
I wanted to create a watercolour painting that felt peaceful. Like one where you look at it and it feels like the feeling of a soft blanket against the skin on a cold day ^^ I tried a few different blue paint combinations while creating this and settled with this green-blue gradient. I hope you guys like it! 💕
I think this little patch of water is a secret location that only this little Z’Gok knows about though 👀! I wonder if one day he’ll invite us all too! (… or, maybe that would ruin the peace and calm of it. Perhaps it is a place for him, just for Z’Gok ✨)
I hope you have had a wonderful week so far! Keep on winning guys! You got this!! 🔥🦀🔥
Now I gotta go catch up on your posts cos boy have i missed a ton of wonders!
