  • OhuHueVember Week 1 is Done! Ft. Johanna Basford’s 30 Days Of Flowers

    In case you thought I forgot about this challenge: Nope! I decided early on it would be best for me to only do the *posts* once a week since that’s the part that really wore me out during October. 😵‍💫

    …I also wanted to post this yesterday, but suffice to say this past week was a wild ride so it just wasn’t possible.

    Same as always: you can read more about my general thoughts/process over on DeviantArt: https://www.deviantart.com/mysticsparklewings/art/1119148508

  • Not quite burning the midnight oil tonight, but still closer than I’m strictly comfortable with. 🫤

    For this one though, I decided to let the magnets take the lead instead of thinking about it too much. Sometimes they just know best.

  • Day 2 of the “Winx that Kiss” Valentine’s Countdown matches my sunny feelings towards this project so far—it’s Stella!

    With a side dish of me ignoring pointless/nonsensical changes that the Nickelodeon dub made!

  • I had much grander plans for MerMay this year but for SO many reasons it just didn’t work out. 😮‍💨

    So this is the best I could do; A new concept piece for my 2nd oldest Winx OC, Trinity. At nearly the last minute. 🧜🏼‍♀️

    As usual, there’s a bit more explanation over on DeviantArt: https://sta.sh/010aregq04zt

  • I assume real clock-making is rather time-consuming Making a clock-making-inspired mandala sure was!

    ...It took more time than I care to admit to come up with that joke. At least the art turned out nice?

  • Sneaking in one last wintry art piece for the month

    I had this idea for ages inspired by a line from 2 different My Chemical Romance songs—“Vampires Will Never Hurt You” & “The World is Ugly,” and tried a softer, more painterly style to bring it life

    I’m still not sure which of the two versions I ended up with is better, but I am happy with the overall results.

  • Unusual from me, yes?

    About this time last year (❗️) I learned not all console modification requires special tools & expert knowledge. So with a “drop-in” backlit screen from RetroModding.com & a glow-in-the-dark shell kit, I gave my GameBoy Color a makeover!

    I also made a rookie mistake It worked out, but you can read the full tale here: https://sta.sh/01wba9zofoq5

    AND I made a “before & after” video, if you want a closer look & a glimpse of the glow https://youtu.be/43Gr28b-8Is

  • This poem taught me a valuable piece of advice: Never search for “spicy poetry” on Pinterest in public. 🫣 Even “spicy FOOD poetry” isn’t safe!

    That said, I am pretty happy with how it turned out, so…

  • Thank goodness I’m not “bluff”ing when I say I enjoyed this Inktober prompt much more than the last 3!

    Now I just have to likewise hope it doesn’t all “come tumbling down” in the 11 days to go…

  • Tonight I wanted to break up the use of green/brown/orange with something different—I was thinking of a clicking pen for the poem & my subconscious was going “exploded ink pen” for the background to complement

  • [This was originally supposed to be uploaded on Christmas Day/December 25th, but the Inkblot app was giving me trouble and so I opted to "deal with it later" and enjoythe holiday...and then promptly forgot about it until today. This is why the following caption may sound a bit odd...]

    Whether you do or don’t celebrate, I hope you have a Sparkly day. And if you do presents, I hope you got the Purr-fect one!

    As for the art, I made the “Purrfect Present” a few years ago. Since I just re-did the coloring page lines digitally & was struggling to think up a new cat piece this year, I decided to re-Color it myself!

    You can read a bit more about Art here: http://tiny.cc/k2f2vz

    And the Coloring Page is available on DeviantArt, or in my Ko-Fi Shop—Free or "Pay What You Want": http://tiny.cc/l2f2vz
