Here's an old illustration I did for Paka Planet back in 2023 way before the relaunch as an app. While I love how it looks now, part of me hoped that I've gotten the chance to work more on these characters. But after I upload the remaining works, I can properly move on from this property.

This past week has motivated me to get myself out there when it comes to voice acting, mainly because if the podcast isn't gonna get me away from this warehouse job, maybe I can creatively express myself with some fun voices & acting. I've always wanted to get myself out there, better now than never

A caring doctor and talented surgeon, she prioritizes others over herself, yet she is willing to take on anything life throws at her including death in her family. And this is the last of the gift OC illustrations for now. Be on the lookout for illustrations for my OCs!

She is a star who unfortunately gets killed in her lifetime on Earth and resurrected by her new caretaker, Elara. Unfortunately, she loses her memories and her true form is locked away by her star necklace so she has to live as a human while trying to figure out what her first life was like.

"Oh.. uh Elara? What if I wasn't from this world but like came from space? Maybe that's why you don't know?" Here's another big illustration for my friend Egypt's main OC for our main roleplay group of Oredia, Skylar!
Two blonde women, one with blue skin with stars all over it and the other in human clothes, are reaching out to each other while floating by a galaxy.  Their touch initiates the birth of a star.  Meanwhile, a blue star necklace is floating close to the camera while a space-themed notebook is nearby.

"Pah! Can I fight? Please. Just gotta let you guys know that I can handle anything that comes my way." Another one for my RP group, here's my friend Cody's main OC: End Arkoh Sionnah! He's a homunculus with a green gem as his heart that can use up to four elements including fire and lighting.
A slightly bulky man with long hair looks on at the camera with his Morningstar resting on his shoulder and his other hand resting on his glowing chest.  Meanwhile, fire and lightning swirl around him.  The text reads the following:

One of my most ambitious illustrations so far, here's another work for the roleplay group featuring my friend Emily's character, Janette! She is a model from the kingdom of Puddinland who uses lightning and happens to be super hot. She also has a bad habit of smoking behind the scenes.
In a city street, a sunglasses wearing long gray haired female model smokes by a street clock while a crowd of peaople pass her by.  At the opposite side of the illustration, a curly haired young man excitedly looks up at a billboard featuring the same model promoting a new fragrance, Firebolt.
