Hiya everyone! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) I'm Aurora (and Dani or Nekai). I'm an all-round 2D/3D artist that doesn't like to make choices as you can tell by the names. I love variety and making art with a story and often a bit of a creepy/cute vibe. I also like cats, coffee and cartoons. Nice to meet you! ₍^. .^₎⟆

Having a bit of mental health dip the last several days,but thinking about Art Fight gives me random bursts of joy which helps a bunch. That and my partner help. Usually therapy too but my session got cancelled today :(

I'm finally done with my first full storyboard of a picturebook I've been working on! I feel proud of finishing this step. I find it hard to press on when the initial dopamine of a project wears off, but I did it!!! Now I can move to the next phase :D !! #illustration #picturebook #illustrator

A blurry, watermarked snippet of a picturebook storyboard about a red lion, a mouse, and several other animals.

A watermarked illustration of a red lion with a leaf-themed crown in a forest. It's a work in progress page for a picturebook, there is text but it's blurred.

@coffeetalkgame.bsky.social Thank you for the amazing games. This world and these stories always warm my heart and touch me deeply. The stories feel so human, the emotions so real and raw. AND I tried making a Jahe Tubruk today! I never would've done that without you! It's delicious! #coffeetalk

Dani Aurora @auroranekai.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

I love the Coffee Talk games so much. Currently playing through Coffee Talk Tokyo. They bring such human stories to life, in a wonderful fantasy context. It's messy experiences and emotions, and it's coffee. It's one of the beauties of games to me, telling stories from the heart. #coffeetalk

There's beauty in creation and imagination and telling your stories. Don't let anyone talk you out of bringing your inner universe to life. Write, draw, make games, music, worlds, stories and places to belong!!~ Humans have made art and told stories for centuries! Don't let anyone stop you now.

Ramzer only wants to deliver the best vegetables to their buyers, so they always have to check them thoroughly. Their brand as a farmer is only the highest quality goods! (and the rest they donate or eat themselves.) #originalcharacter #ocart #bunny #nonbinary #digitalart

Three drawings of a nonbinary humanoid bunny with a big scar on the right side of their face is squint and checking vegetables for quality. In one its a long, white turnip, in another a brightred shiny tomato, and a third with several leeks.
