Happy 9 year anniversary since I joined this Website to me... someone please remind me to come back here March 25th 2025 to celebrate 10 :P

Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in my commissions lately! I don't think any of you are here, though. LOL! I've been a bit overwhelmed, but it's so nice getting some work!! I have soo much to update on social media, but I'll get to that one day.

That's a lot of people! Thank you so much, it makes me super excited to post pt. 2 of Sketchbook Journey on the 8th of April :D

Recently, I teamed up with a country-level association to support 1 of 4 of our products. They would support with some costs and I offered them free of charge of services. The first product would benefit them about launching new campaigns and gaining insights from many industries, which were crucial things for any association.

Though the product was not developed yet and it was all about concepts. Well, I felt relieved. Having a first super user of a product of this level was not easy. It was worth to make a celebration anyway. 🎉

Besides, been hitting by depression, again, but I am looking for a way to make myself feel better.

I need name suggestions!
This is the first time I have ever created an OC, and while I have fleshed out most of her personality, I really want the community to name her, since you have been such a big support of my sketchbook journey series!

(Personality description below the picture)



Species: Demon
Occupation: Owner of a bookshop

Personality:
[​Name] is an excitable, optimistic, and deeply passionate individual, particularly when it comes to the world of literature. She presents herself as approachable and unassuming, often donning a simple dress paired with a modest shirt beneath, eschewing makeup. Despite her tranquil demeanor, [​Name] harbors an intense curiosity, often venturing beyond the confines of her bookshop in pursuit of rumored discoveries. While possessing a strong sense of justice, she tends to steer clear of entanglements in others' dramatic affairs. However, when faced with injustice or adversity, [​Name] often tries to correct it from the shadows, only reluctantly tapping into her demonic powers, using the obsidian plates she carries, as the last resort.

Her abilities afford her mastery over three eternal flames and the shadows they cast. She uses the obsidian plates to shape these shadows, creating strong shadow puppets that can interact with the world around them. [​Name] Conceals these flames within lanterns scattered throughout her bookshop, so that her powers remain discreet, leaving visitors not to question her true nature. This practical approach to life, honed from her experiences evading trouble, underscores her adaptability to survive in any environment. Yet, as the (to her knowledge) only demon to have escaped the underworld, [​Name] finds that trouble has an uncanny knack for finding her, despite her efforts to avoid it.

So extremely happy with some of the stuff I've been learning! I just made something really cool!
