I forgot to post this here – just found out that IG has tagged it for AI and I got so pissed off! I did not spend late nights working on it, only for it to be tagged that way. 😤😢 Anyway, here is my little fairy with a santelmo. #helenaillustrates #digitalart #fairy #santelmo #noAI #humanart

To all the #zosan fans out there, can you please help me find this AO3 fic where Sanji looks for a lost Zoro so he follows his footsteps/trail and experiences how Zoro's day went. I think he ends up finding Zoro by a lake or river. Does that sound familiar to anyone? 🥺♥️

I was in South Korea last month and got to wear a hanbok while visiting the palace. Amidst all the tourists and the constant pain in my feet from endless walking, it felt magical still. 🌼🌸 #helenaillustrates #doodle #hanbok #findwhimsyinyourlife

Nyanko-sensei enjoyed his trip to South Korea - the cherry blossoms were really beautiful. 🌸

Lunch was stewed lima beans and ham with whole wheat toast. Tastes okay but maybe I should peel off the lima bean skins next time. 🤔 I also finally got to eat moon cake again after so many years. 😭♥️ Aaaand got my first fruit from my Baby tomato. It was super sour omg. 🤣

I baked a cake yesterday and had to wait overnight to eat it. I had a slice after breakfast. My black tea pastry cream was too watery and the cake absorbed it except for that blob there omg now the cake is too moist. I kind of wish it was drier and fluffier. 😅

Helena Illustrates @helenaillustrates.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

I've been craving cake so I made a cake. I haven't baked and decorated a cake for more than two years or so and I underestimated how long it will take. My decorating is rusty too. Now it's hanging out in the fridge and I have to wait until tomorrow to try it out. Tireddddd

Trying again with the micro dwarf tomatoes. They didn't fruit much last time, so I hope they turn out better this year. Look at that little heart-shaped tomato! 🍅♥️ #microdwarftomato #tomato #cherrytomato

I wish authors would tag their fics properly instead of throwing in a surprise somewhere in the middle of it. There I was fully invested only to be fully stressed out by the new development. It will help people filter out fics and authors get readers who enjoy their work fully.

I'm another year older so I sent Nyanji to pop balloons. WAIT NOT THAT ONE NYANJI! 🤣❤️ #nyanji #birthday #nyanjifanart #onepiece #sanji

It's been raining heavily and most of my micro dwarf tomatoes are toast – but these two seem to be hanging on (Bunny Kisses and Blaue Zimmertomate). Most of their flowers just dropped and they only have four tomatoes each. 😭😅 Poor babies, I hope your tomatoes grow big.

I finally made a bento again! It looks a lot better than the one I made a year ago, I think. 😚🌼 #obento #bento #弁当 #bentobox #homemadelunch

My Blaue Zimmertomate has such pretty, big flowers. I hope they turn into tomatoes soon! My fuzzy Woolly Zwerg is growing pretty well, too. 🍅🥰 #microdwarftomatoes #tomatoes #homegardening #gardentherapy

The seed packet says they're meant to be yellow cherry tomatoes so this is probably good to go? This plant only has two fruits, unfortunately. 😅 I have more tomato seedlings on the way so hopefully they'll be more fruitful but with this weather who know what'll happen.

It's been so long since I've done a proper digital painting and I don't even remember how I used to do it. I used to work on Paint Tool SAI and I would have tons of layers, and now... well, I just worked on an entire layer for her face. 🤦‍♂️ The second one is my old art from 2019!

Helena Illustrates @helenaillustrates.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Little micro dwarf tomato seedlings! Some didn't germinate, unfortunately, but the ones that did are looking all right. Look at that little fuzzy one! It's a woolly zwerg micro dwarf tomato and it's supposed to be fuzzy - even the fruit!

Helena Illustrates @helenaillustrates.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

Has anyone planted perilla before? I've planted several seeds, and it's been eight days and only one has come up. But then it died today without even getting true leaves. So now I just feel stressed. 🫤

WTAF BROOK our pastel boy (er, grandpa) Brook, everybody. Also, why is Sanji wearing a shirt with the photo of a tie.

My tiny baby tomato finally has two fruits. And if you squint really hard, there's another miniscule one there, too. I hope the other flowers become fruits – a lot of them have been dropping lately. 🥺🌼🍅 #tomato #microdwarftomato #gardening

I need more of this AU because Zoro is a go-getter and I am all for it. 🤣🥰

Nyanji was worried Nyanzo (why can't we call him Nyoro, instead???) wouldn't come to their picnic date, but he just got lost, okay? 🤣😅 Happy Hearts Day, everyone! 🌼 #helenaillustrates #onepiece #onepiecefanart #zosan #nyanji #nyanzo #sanji #zoro

My little micro dwarf tomato has little flower buds! I wish I had more micro dwarf tomato seeds but they're so hard to find. This one is a hybrid and I don't even know what variety it is. 🥲 Just keep growing, baby tomato. 🍅

An edited crop of the last image, where Zoro now glances to the side with a light blush, saying, very quietly, "yyyes...?"

New platform means I get to repost one of my favourite old pieces: Zoro picking a fight with Sanji circa Arlong Park before he'd ever actually seen how Sanji fights

Fanart of Roronoa Zoro from One Piece wearing his outfit from Arlong Park, a very early story arc. He is reaching for his white sword with a sneer. He taunts someone out of sight, "Oh yeah, asshole? You want a taste of this steel?"

Sanji raises his leg, bent at the knee, and scowls back, saying, "You want a taste of these legs?"

Zoro is stunned into silence at this response, almost forgetting his sword. His expression would best be described as "baffled but, nonetheless, intrigued".

A little doodle of one of the bravest friends Luffy has, Bon-chan. I thought his original outfit was cool so I sort of reimagined it into something a little cuter. ❤️ #helenaillustrates #bonclay #onepiece #onepiecefanart #bonclayfanart

So I am another year older today ~ got myself a little rosemary plant a few days ago as a gift to myself. It's a little scraggly but I love it. I also just found out today that I share a birthday with the adorable Bepo! 🌼 #helenaillustrates #birthday #rosemary #bepo #bepoonepiece #onepiece #fanart

Clingy Sanji will always be 😘. This is a ZoSan doodle I made a while ago that I want to color in but definitely terrified it'll look awful so it stayed a doodle lmao. #helenaillustrates #zosan #onepiece #onepiecefanart #fanart

Some of my favorite paintings that I did years ago. I haven't painted with watercolors in a long, long time now, but I still want to. #helenaillustrates #watercolors #watercolorpaintings
