This lil dude was inspired by a moodboard that I made :] This moodboard!

This keepsie is just inspired by day/night! I wanted them to be split in multiple ways (like their face, eyes, body, etc.)

I wanted to make a deer with birch tree antlers and for their keepsake I made it christmas balls :]

For this keepsie I wanted to do a skunk and dandelions are my favorite flower so I gave them a dandelion crown!

My fiancé suggested space dog so I did a dog with Pluto as their keepsake! :]

This last one I just had the idea to do a keepsie with a singing fish plaque because they’re silly >w<

Standards

For this keepsie i wanted something fairly simple. Purples and pinks with a touch of green to break up the same-y-ness

For The second I went full contrast. The yellows and teals work off one another nicely, even with the complex patterning.

For the last standard, I let myself have fun with it using Space & Zodiac motifs all across it. The blue and gold is one of my favorite color palettes, and i felt it just fit the whole design vibe.

Custom Lines

Ok for this one I went for one of my favorite aesthetics big hair, clashy colors, and just a bit of edge! i absolutely love the vibes and the colors. Pure self-indulgence.

For Custom 2 I have been playing a game that's had me fishing nonstop so I had fish on the brain. I wanted this one to be more complex and used my favorite design choice. Neon transparent body.

I used a color palette I found online! I mainly just wanted to play around with patterns and create a cohesive design with them


this keepsie was vaguely inspired by sandstone; I added a bit of teal for a pop of colour and to highlight points of interest in the design

I know there are already,, many alien lines lol but I wanted to do my own take on them! areas like the hair, stars, and rocket ship are shiny to give that plastic-y toy feel, while the body is more muted to avoid pulling too much attention

to contrast with the cheerful alien, I wanted to do lines that feel more mellow. the initial concept was more sleek and elegant but I think more cartoony features like the exaggerated fluff and the stylized angel wings suited it better

an edgier, more accessorized design! I was really inspired by those crochet cat beanies, and I thought it would be a really cool basis for a line

albino keepsie
this guy is kind of self indulgent, i love a little albino critter so i of course wanted to make a keepsie one. but more or less my goal with this guy was also to show off some simple shading on a plainer design :- )


leopard seal
yayy leopard seal!! this is the usual stuff i like to do, i love making realistic designs with scratchy coloring! all of the gradients are done by hand and applied on one layer where i just basically keep making intermediate colors painterly style LOL.

i love my ball
the lore of the keepsies is so super endearing to me, and since the whole thing with keepsies is that they're born from love & tied to their object, i wanted to make a simple set of lines where theyre cuddling their object :- ) . i wanted to challenge myself to do pixel art wings, and oh my god i was stressing. but i think they turned out pretty cool!! this is also a good example of a really simple design that i didn't stress too much over, but still wanted to make it cute and pretty : D


werewolf
basic fact about me is i love werewolves LOL. i wanted to make a big hulking werewolf keepsie that looked "scary" but was still cute since theyre a keepsie who's a werewolf HAHA. and of course they have a werewolf bite and their little item is a full moon. im chronically on the nose about a lot of the stuff i make. anyways! design wise i just wanted to go with a natural wolfy pattern since theyre super fun to do! if i put more time into it id have added more intermediary colors but i thought this was pretty enough!! i also tried something new with the moon which was adding some like random pops of color on it from the eyeshine but im not sure how well i pulled it off... i tried though HAHA.

MY CATSHEE #mycatshee... heres some holiday event ones

a custom and a frontpage litter guy

and a mod custom + paid custom... the first one has unique lines, i think its pretty close to the catshee style : J

For my first standard I started off with the light brown color because it's one that I like a lot and it felt sort of like an orange creamsicle so I leaned into that and made the orb an orange!

Once I finished the orange standard I wanted to make another one that is a tomato inspired by my friend's favorite fruit!

I wanted to make a cutie pastel keepsie and I got inspiration from my favorite childhood cartoons like Care Bears in terms of the colors and soft gradients, but to keep it from looking too light I brought in a bright rainbow inside the orb

My friend suggested that I do a picnic design so I started off with a picnic basket and some fruit on the head! With the fruit on the head it make me think that maybe this picnic pal was a little clumsy and got some peanut butter on their tail. Of course to finish things off I had to give them a gingham picnic blanket cape.

For my last design I realized I that my designs were pretty light and bright so I wanted to make a little bit of a darker and more earthy design. I started off with the lilypad on the head (which in turn made me make his ears droopy so they would fit) and then I leaned into a sort of marsh-y kind of vibe complete with cat-tails and moss. And of course there was a lilypad so I had to give him a frog (or rather a tadpole in this case)

Designs I did as an artist for Sqim!

★ standards:

★ inspiration: sunstone
★ little yap sesh: little desert vibe with a sunstone, shading with hatching because i personally like the rougher vibe it gives off, especially trying to tie into the sandy desert theme >.<

★ inspiration: obsidian (water+fire)
★ little yap sesh: i love split designs as always so i went with two contrasting elements of water+fire, which makes obsidian (in minecraft at least) hence the little ball of obsidian for the keepsake :3 also another shaded with hatching >.< with little fangs because teeth on keepsies is cute...

★ inspiration: moon at dusk
★ little yap sesh: wanted to do a softer vibe without hatching on a standard, so i just dug through pinterest for a dusk palette and laid it down on a standard :3 smol hints of mountains + clouds, with some highlight,,, soft shading, and a purply moon as the keepsake :3 and eyelashes because im a little freak for lashes.....

★ edited:

★ inspiration: nerd glasses......
★ little yap sesh: little snow leopardesque with nerd glasses on hims. wanted to play around with clothes on keepsies, so gave him a tie and buttonup shirt, as you do. gave baby some fluffier fur and a little "☝️ erm achtually" fingie. also went with some thick outlining to make him look like a sticker, which i like but it might just be upon request / on random giveaway guys and personal stuff, not really a common occurrence >.< we do try to please the masses.

★ inspiration: those hoodies with the big paws attached to them :keepsiesdrool:
★ little yap sesh: spookier vibes, did this after watching the new fnaf or in preparation of it probably. felt a little haunted but in a silly cute way, so did a fluffy domg with a hoodie on, and huge paws™️ :3 tried to tie in the stars with a little moon on his thigh, and went with a sleepytime night purple/yellow contrasting palette. bear.

★ inspiration: beegle ! bee + beagle.......
★ little yap sesh: i love domgies but i thought id branch out with a domg i dont draw a lot, which is a little hound :3 and bees and beagles are cute together, so >.< softer color palette and shading, to show a bit of my shading + coloring without the hatching like before. gave her green accents and a little heart pupil and swirly blush :3 mr bee is chubby and roumg as he should bee....... hahahaahahah........

Line edits:

For this one, I was heavily inspired by fallen angels and that kind of theme! On the left hand side I designed it in my usual style, with some blurred markings using a brush rather than digital pen in ibispaintx, however when i read the guidelines and saw that it was not preferred, i remade it using only digital pen, and did so for the rest of the designs aswell.

For this one i was inspired by scene culture, i didnt want the colour palette to be too hard to read, so i muted down the red orange and pink markings after i finished the design!

I was very inspired by electricity this time around, i like mucking about with pc parts and working with old consoles and modding them, it doesnt help im getting a new car soon lol, but yeah i thought the idea of a crocodile clip head this time around would be REALLY fun! Just a lil silly! I used my usual shading style this time but used digital pen with all of the markings too apart from the caution tape and i think it still looks really good :)

The second one i made a little later as a different version without ANY use of brushes with blurriness, including in the shading! Not sure which one i prefer and im still developing the techniques i use for the digital brush only :)

No line edits:

I am the most proud of this one. I was inspired by the sea, just the sea, and went full pixel artist on this one, no shading with fancy layers, just regular layers.

For this one i was really inspired by childhood type toys, with the silly floral print and stripes. Not complex, but still a comforting design, at least to me. I'm kinda iffy on how some of the flowers turned out, despite the fact i was trying to replicate the style, i wasnt the most fond of them.

I'm a current artist for Sweetens, all of my designs for sweetens I've made can be found in this Google drive!
There are some Sweetens that have not been added to that folder yet, but I update it as they are released to the public :)
