In the meantime have been playing FE:FW, I enjoy it but I’m almost 80 hrs in and haven’t finished the Part 1 routes…I desperately want to know what happens in the next parts but I’m getting pretty tired 😅

I like the 4 sublords more than the main lords so I really want to play the upcoming DLC stories, but I don’t know if I have 50+ hrs more left in me…

I really want to sit and draw something properly soon but *gestures at all of the packing boxes around me*

@katherinelam.bsky.social

I have been slowly ferrying boxes to my house before the big move on the 30th, and each time I’m there I can’t help but be excited for all the space my cats are going to have. 3 floors of space!!!

badly done and very brief little guide about contrast when thinking about composition! this is really just the tip of the iceberg, but it is something i think about a lot! if you take one thing from this, its that composition is ALL about relationships between the elements. (1/2)

Lord guys I’m ecstatic for the amt of space!! But I am so poor now!!

House closing complete!!! I have the keys!!!

The past month has been a stressful rush but I should have keys in my hand tomorrow, and I hope to share pictures soon!

Sorry for inactivity as of late...lots of big life changes - I'm closing on my first house tomorrow! First time homeowner yahoo!

Some additional closeups because I really tried to challenge myself with the composition, and there are a lot of details! The prompt tickled my brain in all the right ways so I wanted to convey something akin to a storytelling sequence. I'm really happy to have had the chance to draw these two ;A;

Done w comms yahoo! Tysm to everyone who comm'd me for the support!

Ko-fi / Vgen platform fees…have they always been this high…

1 Aug

It’s been more than a year since I last did comms so I didn’t pay close attention…is there a way to avoid these fees? In the future, it seems Paypal invoice is the appropriate way…?

As mentioned, I'm not able to handle an extensive waitlist atm (esp with work starting again) but if I finish the round quickly and my WLB hasn't eroded too much, I'll consider opening additional slots w the same options!

I sold out so fast weh thank you guys, I'm so touched ;;-;;

ko-fi.comRyu's CommissionsCommissions Open! Click to see Ryu's commission menu.

Slots are open now! ko-fi.com/ryuucae/comm...

Iris 🌿@ryuucae.bsky.social

Hi guys! As mentioned I'll be opening some slots on my Ko-Fi for commissions this Friday, July 31st at 7 PM EST :D For the first time, this includes a few slots for sketch page comms and I'm pretty excited! Due to the limited number, slots will be FCFS. Please reach out if there are any questions!

I only have slot for sketchpage comms left!

Oh nvm I just sold out ;-; Thank you!!!!

Really wish the ATLA movie was longer but overall enjoyed it! It was beautifully crafted 😭

I love making character sketch pages so much, I have been doing it pretty consistently over the past few years for my own OCs / fanart so am really excited to try my hand at other people's characters...!

Estimated timeline for this round will be approx 1-1.5 mos (my day job makes progress very slow, and transparently I'll be working on other things + making time for studies concurrently) I'm unfortunately not planning to accept a waitlist at this time either. If slots are filled quickly + there-

30 July

-is significant interest, I'll reopen promptly after finishing the first round!

29 July

Will make official announcement later but am aiming to open a few commission slots on Friday…! I try to open comms at least once a year, and I think I’m in an okay headspace rn to try again

29 July

I won’t be able to handle a ton since working is starting again on Monday but I’m planning to offer both an illustration slot as well as a few slots for those colored sketch sheets that I really enjoy doing (which will be skeb style). If anyone is interested please keep an eye peeled for updates!

Very excited for Berlin Fanfest news tomorrow…I’m going to be up and watching at 4 AM ET and will try my best to not scream at the new trailer…!

I am currently halfway through 2 weeks of PTO after finishing my cursed work project so I’ve wrecked my sleep cycle by drawing nearly every day into early morning hrs…4 AM Keynote…you don’t scare me

Experimenting w comps/rendering/colors I don’t normally use…I really like Zero and it’s been a while since I last drew her!

Booo @ England vs Norway

I’m not a big soccer/football person but I pay attention to the teams my friends are rooting for (Mexico, Norway); sad to see them lose out on making to the finals

Doodled some Emets #ffxiv

I have some illusts that I need to start but rn am trying to experiment/study and work out some kinks in my fundamentals atm...I wish I could draw faster and more often

Doodled some Emets #ffxiv

As always please click on the image for better quality... Emet is my favorite fictional character ever but I don't draw him often (last time was more than a year ago!!!) I'm happy that he looks older here than how he looked in my past drawings. I really enjoy adding my own flair to the character
