♟️Where to next? (More proportion practice featuring another @grimswimstudios.bsky.social character!) ★ #surreal ★ #nostalgia ★

In a surreal space with a checkerboard flooring and primary-colored walls, a girl scowls and points at a doorway. A vortex can be seen absorbing violet cubes through a window in the background.

Been practicing digital art. I kinda dig the pencil-like brush. I just need to find an art style to call my own, but I like what I got so far! 👀

Her creation dates back in the 1800s by a young couple, who yearned to be explorers. One day, the ship was caught in a storm, where it found itself in Dreamula. Not much is known about the couple, but luckily it was found and taken care of by the Grimoire Pirates years later. Concept by Rabir Singh
