Clip Studio Paint’s English-language page used to run art contests, or at least, I think they used to, but stopped, instead favouring giving people prizes for great tips. I kind of suspect that there was an unfair advantage with the art contests, considering the only people who would win were the people who looked like
In my 4th Creative Works update, I had shared pictures of progress for a special project I was doing: This project was illustrations of my two anime forms (nicknamed “Queen” and “Creator”) along with new ones of Kelly the Dreamer. I wanted these illustrations to be used for merchandise on the online shop. I wasn’t
National Novel Writing Month has officially left as of 12 AM this morning! It is now December 1st – the first day of the Month of KJ. Or what I’ll call it, KJMo (Kelly’s Journey Month). I hope you’ll join me this month for numerous needed updates to previous KJ episodes, hopefully a new one,
Pyralis is one of the contestants in MAKE ME A MODEL!. They are energetic, fun-loving, and a complete goofball. I don’t remember exactly why I drew these particular pieces – maybe similar to the set of the other dropped MAKE ME A MODEL! images, perhaps? Regardless, I definitely wanted to draw Pyralis being their energetic,
This is a sketch I did of my characters, Princess Angelica (left) and Faye Jademan (right). If you’ve browsed my other artwork on here, you are probably familiar with Faye. Princess Angelica is from Astral Isles on Kehllee (one of my planets). In one of the stories she is in, she’s pulled into going on
One of my favourite things to do is go through my old artwork and redraw pictures. My second favourite thing to do is go through my old artwork, find characters I have either not drawn in a LONG time or only drew once and never again and actually redraw them. That’s exactly what I did
Princess Nina is maybe a bit less than a decade old at this point in terms of when I created her. She’s a princess of a different underwater kingdom. She knows of Midnight Star, but has not had any particularly close interactions with her personally. Princess Nina is a kind princess who loves all creatures
If you can’t guess, based off the previous two posts – the Kehllee Banner and the Fairolk Banner – that this was going to be the top banner of the Naitmaric subsite. I chose Carwyn and Cian because they are/were the two most popular male characters of mine. Carwyn is serving Cian cake. Cian is
Princess Midnight Star, better known to people as Mid-Star. She’s one of the younger daughter of the king and queen of the oceanic kingdom she is from, but she is not the youngest. Her role in the courts is not as important, so she has much more freedom to roam around and do as she
Madeliese is from a story of mine about a young woman who ends up going through a mysterious door and ends up having to fight with darkness. One of the most notable parts of her designs is her green cloak, which she wears the entire time. I wanted to portray Madeliese standing serious in her
Lexia is one of the pieces that did not get multiple options to become a print. I had just this one. One of the most fascinating things about this piece to me is that it was a huge hit with people aren’t anime/manga fans. Like, yes, anime and manga fans liked it too, but I
I always have loved the idea of Kelly playing music. The earliest versions of her had her playing a flute. Eventually, I abandoned the instrument idea and one of Kelly the Pokémon Trainer’s aims was to become a pop star instead. I did end up coming back to the idea of Kelly the Pokémon Trainer
