The reference was gorgeous and I decided I needed to paint it, I used my phone for this since I'm out and about.

Yes this is a real name, a doctor's name, spelling confirmed off the patient's prescription bottle. 9 letters, the longest name I've made so far.
I started with the longest straightened coathanger I had available, approximately 43.5 inches long. Knowing I might end up running short on material with 9 letters, I made this one at around 3/4 of my typical scale.
The final result you see is about 10 inches long, and I even had about 8 inches of excess to trim off at the end, meaning that it only took about 35.5 inches of material to make. Hey though, I'd much rather end up with a bit of excess than end up a letter short on material and wasted time. It took about an hour and a half to make.
I really hate working at this scale though, as some bends that I'm usually comfortable with seem nearly impossible when scaled down. But I made it happen at least.
Sorry that all measurements are in inches, I'll leave it to the readers/viewers out there to convert to common units. 🍌
Edit: Can anyone explain how the hell autocorrect morphed this name into Miranda when it was originally texted to me?

A drawing I did around a month ago, or two.
This is probably the drawing that made me fall in love with layering in general.
In my imagination, this character would represent the protagonist in a story that would take place in a kingdom of souls and rebirth.

I feel in the mood to share my personal work here. Made with copics.

I designed a pokemon.

Trying out a different curled lead-in. Also trying to put a bit more emphasis on the lowercase 'r', hope it's starting to show more clear definition.
Approximately 9.5 inches or 24.1 centimeters long.
Or ~1.357 bananas long, for those that measure in common units... 🍌

This painting kind of emotionally drained me. And everything in my childhood smelled like cigarettes.

A drawing I made as a follow-up to my previous one. When I finished putting a design on Lokina, after struggling to find one that pleased me for quite a while, I felt like I could draw her apprentice in a similar way.
This is another character of my imagination, I imagine her as the main character in a story I would like to write, one day, if I ever manage to do it.
