    uniE621 Making my way down forest
    Another Artfight attack for Staarbles(tumblr) character Button. Tried really hard to make the forest look pretty for this one and looked at a lot of ghibli movie references illustrator
    uniE621 March 7th fan art
    Aaaand you guesssed it another star rail fan art for the 2023 multiverse vistas. I can see I improved a lot since but I still do enjoy drawing space and I think the ice still looks cool(haha). It's kinda fun seeing how much my skill has improved each year even if I didn't place anything in any of them. illustrator
    uniE621 ANOTHER Robin fan art
    THIS one was for the 2024 multiverse vistas with ANOTHER Robin and I cannot tell you WHY i made the choice of including 22 origami birds they were a real piece of work to shade but I was just that committed to adding as much birds as my wrist would allow me. All the Robin illustrations thats in this portfolio was done in the same god damn time, can you tell this is my favourite character fromt he game? illustrator
    uniE621 The Starlit Thief
    Ok so like there was Star Rail project called Millennium Idol with with illustrations of Robin in different movie rolls and other artists could submit their entries and it'd be fun to draw her as a gentleman thief. Didnt get in the book but I still like how it turned out even if the suit was had a lot going on. illustrator
