I managed to draw a thing for Mayblade! This is the prompt for day 26: Cosplay. Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho is one of my other favoriture characters so I got the idea to draw Kai dressing as Hiei 🤣 #Beyblade #mayblade #mayblade2026 #KaiHiwatari #Hiei #YYH #Art

Good morning bsky! I've been quiet lately, I haven't really been on here at all. Got some bad news recently so I'll probably still be pretty quiet for a bit. I'll try and post a little at least. I hope everyone is doing well! Here's my unusual looking black sesame porridge breakfast and coffee XD

Time for anime post! XD Medalist! An anime about ice skating, and I am really, really enjoying this one. Great characters, the heartwarming and emotional moments as you watch Inori and her coach working hard towards achieving their dream. I think it's a great sports anime and I recommend!

I used to draw lots of weapons! Most of them were commissions but some were random ideas I had. Here's a few examples that I drew 10 or more years ago XD Maybe I should try drawing some again.

The latest episode of Frieren was incredible. That ANIMATION. I wonder just how long it must have taken to make an episode with that kind of quality. They did such a good job. Frieren really has some great fight scenes :D Love this anime.
