I spent so long working on this that Mouse has already debuted another model. 😂 I don't care. The Season 4 design is so cute!! 💕 #ironmouseart #procreate #イラスト

I decided to redraw a piece of my OCs from March 2023. Managed to cram one more character in. I remember being SO proud of the first version but omg, the new version is so much better! And only took 15 hours vs 19 for the original. #procreate #イラスト

I’m on two medications that make you sensitive to the heat and it’s probably the hottest day of the year. 💀🫠

I'm SO late, but I finished this for the six month anniversary of Phan being legal. 😂 Tbf I have a human baby and a crippling Slay The Spire 2 addiction. #danandphil #phanart #イラスト

It took me long enough, but the chibi of Sister Daniel is done! She is the moment. #chibiart #danandphil #phanart #イラスト

I've been working on this on-and-off for like six weeks, but this art of my OCs is finally done on Valentine's Day!! So appropriate. 💕#イラスト

The advantage of having fictional oshi is that they will either NEVER disappoint you (Kirby) or they are a CONSTANT disappointment (Cloud). 🥹

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

I can still draw “normal” proportioned art!! After only doing chibi-style art for like 6 months now… I’m so relieved. 😂

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

One of the many reasons I've been off social media... I 100%-ed BALL x PIT! 🙌 Only took 50 hours. 😅

Of course after last Thursday I had to do Halloween femboy versions as well. #chibiart #danandphil #phanart #イラスト

I’m goddamn married and have kids (both human and fur) but thanks to Dan and Phil I’m regressing to my mid 2010s self. 🫠

Finally finished my little project - all the Tokyo Mew Mew girls in their remake outfits! (All except Ringo who I don't think has an official redesign...) #chibiart #TokyoMewMew #東京ミュウミュウ #イラスト

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

Been a bit busy recently, so it's more chibi practice time! I've also been in a nostalgic 00s mood, so it's Mew Ichigo's turn! (In her updated character design. 🍓) #chibiart #TokyoMewMew #東京ミュウミュウ #イラスト

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

I've been going through some really life-changing stuff lately. Coping mechanism? Drawing my OCs being hella gay as usual. 😂 #Procreate #originalcharacter #イラスト

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Still on a chibi kick and had to draw one of my favourite models for Mouse! 💖 #Procreate #chibiart #ironmouseart #VSHOJOART #イラスト

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 26/05/2025

And still practicing with chibis. This time I decided to try updated chibis of my two main OCs - Tsukiya (Black Mage) and Helio (White Mage). I think this style could have potential? #originalcharacter #chibiart #procreate #イラスト

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

And here is a chibi that will probably appeal to a target audience of precisely ME... Tsubomi/Papillon Rose!! 🦋🌹🦋 #chibiart #PapillonRose #イラスト #パピヨンローゼ

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

I've been experimenting with how I draw chibis, and of course had to use my two favourite traumatised cross-dressing boys as test subjects! #LegendOfZelda #FinalFantasyVII #ゼルダの伝説 #ファイナルファンタジーVII #イラスト

Yay, completed my goal of the Bank Holiday weekend - 100% achievements on Garden Story! Such a cute game. 💚 It's a shame the developers have shut down now... 😭

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

A bit late now but I wanted to get this posted before the end of April. Himari-san's April Fools single this year is so cute!!! 💕Can't wait to see how this concept gets corrupted in a later MV. #イラスト #月城ひまり #TsukishiroHimari

I've been having a REALLY difficult couple of weeks. Solution? Drawing my OCs in an embarrassing situation. #Procreate #originalcharacter #イラスト

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Aaah yes, clock changing day. That day every six months where I end up feeling jet-lagged for a week. 🫠

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

I've been having a bit of artist's block lately, but Aika's character design is so wonderful I HAD to draw a chibi! Go watch the pilot it is amazing!! 🌟#idwtbamg #イラスト

I married my tamagotchis to each other so I can get the secret characters… but now I have a pair of needy twin babies to look after! 🫠

I was lucky enough to see the Sailor Moon Super Live recently and I fell in love with the outfits! The fluffy petticoats are so so cute!! #SailorMoonTheSuperLive #sailormoon #美少女戦士セーラームーン #イラスト

Happy Birthday, Nana and Jojo! The babies are three years old now. Such big babies!! 🧡🖤

Bit delayed, but… I got to see the Sailor Moon Super Live last Wednesday!! My dream of finally being able to see a Sera Myu is fulfilled! 💕

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

I've been fascinated with jirai-kei fashion lately, so I decided to draw best girls from FF7 wearing it. (I can totally imagine Aerith convincing Tifa to dress up like this!) 💕 #FinalFantasyVII #jiraikei #地雷系 #イラスト

THIS is why you don’t name your baby cat after a famous anime delinquent. Absolutely zero remorse!

As a Hello!Project fan this has really been a brutal month, huh. 💀

Mouse's latest model is SO cool! I hope I did it justice here. 💕 #Procreate #ironmouseart #VSHOJOART #イラスト

Yes!! I am (potentially?) free from Mr Balatro's Wild Ride!!

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

I made the terrible mistake of looking at news sites yesterday. Welp back to my weeb/wota bubble for a bit I think. 💀

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Not sure how I feel about the US TikTok ban. I mean I’m not American and also too old/scared to use Tiktok. But I know if my government banned Reddit I would absolutely lose it!

Me when my husband asks why I draw fanart of ladies making them more "developed" than their canon character designs.

And here it is... my last drawing of the year! I decided to redraw an old piece of my OCs to see how much progress I've made. ⭐️ #procreate #originalcharacterart #イラスト

Back to work after Christmas, but at least I can wear a dressing gown and drink tea!

Sam Challis @charisu.bsky.social · 25/12/2024

I’m gonna brag but I made Christmas dinner completely from scratch this year and I’m so proud of myself! Garlic and rosemary Turkey, roasties, pigs in blankets in holes, and I managed to successfully recreate my MIL’s honey butter carrots!! 🎄
