about the artist

i've been into art ever since i could pick up a crayon, but i only started taking it seriously around 2016. i began dabbling in digital art in 2010 as many a tweenage weeb was wont to do and i've stuck with it since. currently, i use an xp-pen deco mw and clip studio paint as my tools of trade. with them, i illustrate scenes and moments that come to mind, but i'm trying to branch out more — both in medium and mode.

speaking of mediums, i have a camera too. i would hardly call myself a photographer, but my mom gifted it to me back in 2020 and i thought it'd be a waste to let it collect dust. along with my art works, you'll find some of my photos as well.

i may not be the best artist out there, but what matters the most to me is that i have a vision and i wish to express it. whatever the final piece may be, i'm proud of my efforts and what i'm able to do! it's truly something special to be able to capture what you want to see with your own two hands. thank you for taking the time to check out my works!

An illustration featuring Izanami Hifumi/Yumeno Gentaro (Hypnosis Mic) based on 'The Kiss' by Gustav Klimt. The intimate atmosphere is highlighted by the warm, yellow tones of the painting. Hifumi holds Gentaro's head in his hands and presses a kiss to Gentaro's cheek, the two surrounded by yellow roses. However, Gentaro's eyes are covered by his bangs and he wears a smirk on his face.

digital illustrations

An illustration featuring Michèle Malebranche and Noël (ambiguous as to which Noël it is exactly) from Sound Horizon. They are at a desk in a place that resembles the Western Antique Attic Hall. Noël is writing what will become 'The Flower Within the Cage,' though Michèle is covering their eyes and grasping their writing hand, whispering into their ear. On the desk is a candle that's nearly finished and Hiver Laurant's twin dolls (albeit broken). In the back hangs four clocks, and in the center is a cut off portrait of skeleton Hiver. Red curtains frame the image.
may 2024
An illustration featuring Yumeno Gentaro (Hypnosis Mic) based on his intro number from New Encounter. It is a waist up shot up of him, back facing the audience and left hand raised -- his blurred faced turned to look at the audience. Surrounded by purple stars and snowflakes above and blue orbs and wisps below, there are blots across the illustration that blur his figure as if he were intangible.
april 2024
An illustration of my main Fallen London OC, Lorraine (Raine) Coronado. A petite, brown woman with brunette hair and brown eyes with flecks of orange. This illustration portrays the moment she gouged her eyes in order to gain more Attar, as her nightmares led her to believe she had none to proceed to Far Arbor. She has stumbled out of bed and gone to the bathroom, looking into the mirror as she commits the act. Her hair is disheveled, her irises small and sclera bloodied. Blood pours out of her eyes. She's in the process of cutting up her left eye. Her nightgown is also bloodied. She has a smile on her face.
march 2024
An illustration of Rita Kaniska (King-ohger). Rita stands stalwart in the center of a snowstorm, OhgerCalibur at hand, ready for judgement. The perspective is slightly skewed to make it seem as if they are looming over the viewer. Butterfly wings similar to that of their Fangs of Defiance sprout from their back, adding to their powerful aura. The illustration is framed by an artistically styled purple border with black accents.
feb 2024
An illustration featuring Yumeno Gentaro/Izanami Hifumi (Hypnosis Mic). At the center is Gentaro, parting his cape to reveal his rib cage and a smirk on his face (although the top half of his face is obscured). Within his rib cage are two Hifumis -- Gigolo (host mode) and Hifumin (regular Hifumi). Both Hifumis question why they are trapped, their hands pressed against the bones as if to try and free themselves. Gigolo is a bit more composed than Hifumin. Decorating the bottom are bright yellow roses. The illustration has the texture of old paper.
feb 2024
An illustration featuring Yumeno Gentaro (Hypnosis Mic). He lays on a bed of roses, looking up with hooded eyes and a smirk. However, his attire has been ripped open -- as well as his chest. Inside, his heart is missing. His eyes have no life. His neck is bruised and scratched. He grasps onto a golden rose in his right hand; two broken necklaces in his left. Hovering over him is the shadow of Izanami Hifumi, holding Gentaro's heart in his hand. This hand overlaps Gentaro's hand that's holding Hifumi's rose.The colors are a bold yellow and violet.
dec 2023
Half of a pair of mirrored illustrations featuring Sakuya Himeko (Sound Horizon). This left side is a close up of Sakuya Himeko's right eye, a somber expression on her face. Her eye is blue, reflecting Iwanaga Himeko attempting to hang herself. Her side is tinted purple.
nov 2023
An illustration featuring Kannonzaka Doppo (Hypnosis Mic), which Jinguji Jakurai's presence felt throughout the piece. It's a bust shot of Doppo, his hands clasped in prayer and wrapped around by his lanyard. He wears a solemn expression, his eyes closed -- or rather, his eyes covered by Jakurai's hands. Though Jakurai's face isn't seen, he holds Matenrou's cross in front of Doppo, the chain forming the outline of a muzzle around Doppo's mouth. Behind Doppo is what appears to be Jakurai's hair cascading around him. Light shines from the bottom, casting dark shadows throughout.
oct 2023
An illustration based on my histology studies. It's a fusion of an areolar tissue and mesenchyme; a pink cell with white fibrous threads all over the place as if it were a web. In the middle, the threads hold together a cocoon, and within the cocoon appears to be a fetus-like figure. Around the cell are a bunch of blue flecks.
sept 2023
An illustration of Yumeno Gentaro (Hypnosis Mic) done in pointillism, inspired by his solo 'Yumeno no Kanata'. He stands, looking somewhere far off with his hands outstretched as papers fly out of his hands. The background resembles a night sky, or perhaps the reflection of rain puddles. Behind Gentaro are a bunch of overlapping circles and lines that shine brightly, illuminating him in their light.
august 2023
An illustration of Yashima Akiharu from Sound Horizon's Ema ni Negai wo! (Full Edition). He is depicted from the back, overlooking the sea -- the scene as solmen as their figure; the color palette blue, albeit on the grayer side. In the distance, right in the center of the sky, is a shining blue star. A silver lining, if you will.
august 2023
On the left, an illustration of Yumeno Gentaro (Hypnosis Mic). It's a shot of his full body, except it cuts off at his eyes. He's a bit disheveled, his kimono sliding off his shoulders as he holds the center together with his right hand. His other hand is curled in on his neck, threading his hair. He wears a pensive look on his face. All over his face, neck, chest, and even hands and arms are kisses and hickeys. The hickeys are colored in yellow, which really pop against the purple Gentaro is illustrated in. The background is also yellow. On the right, an illustration of Izanami Hifumi (Hypnosis Mic). It's a shot of his full body, except it cuts off at his eyes. He's dressed in nothing except sweatpants, which reveals the scars and bruises on his back -- and even a kiss on his lips. However, he has a smirk on his face as he runs his hand through his hair, a skip to his step. The marks on him are in purple, which pop against the yellow he's illustrated in. The background is also purple.
june 2023
An illustration of Yumeno Gentaro from Hypnosis Mic and his twin brother. It is a scene -- or perhaps a dream -- of their youth, the two of them lying on a futon. They hold each other in their arms as they sleep, their hands clasped in each other's and smiles on their faces. The colors here are light and bright, with a sort of hazy touch to the illustration. Then, it fades into the next image...
april 2023
An illustration of Yumeno Gentaro and Izanami Hifumi from Hypnosis Mic. It is a dark scene, strife with tension. Hifumi, with the fangs and claws of a wolf, smirks at Gentaro -- who him muzzled and collared with his cord. Hifumi lifts Gentaro up, as if to toy with him. Gentaro, on the other hand, looks down at him unamused. He is pulling down on Hifumi's hair, and pulling his cord as if to tame Hifumi. From Hifumi's chest pocket, his yellow rose has broken and its petals fll to the ground.
feb 2023
An illustration of the boy with the gaming console seen between the boy with the bat and the man in the suit in Sound Horizon's Ema ni Negai wo! (Full Edition) cover. He is holding a Nintendo Switch (the left joy-con is purple and has a decal of the moon from Roman around its stick; the right is blue and has the sun from Roman around its stick; and overall, it has yellow accents). The screen features a 'Game Over' stylized in the same font as the cover. The Laurant Shrine, on fire, is in between 'Game' and 'Over.' Himeko lays dead in front of the shrine (her back is turned to the audience). The graphics are pixelized. In the screen's reflection, you see the boy smirking; his glasses glinting.
jan 2023
An illustration of Yumeno Gentaro, ft the different roles he's taken on. Gentaro, whose back is facing the audience, is looking at a row of mirrors. There are 5 mirrors in total. Starting from the left is Conductor Gentaro. Conductor Gentaro is saluting with his right hand; in the background is a starry lit sky and a train passing by. Next is Princess Gentaro. They are posed like an oujo-sama, their right sleeve pressed to their chin; red roses bloom in the bg with shoujo bubbles floating. Two over is Thief Gentaro. They wear a smug smile on their face, right hand resting on his hip; behind him is his planet of amethysts and an emerald starry sky. To the left is Detective Gentaro, deep in thought as he ponders his mystery; behind him is a portrait with blood splattered on it and the wall. In the center is the reflection of the 'real' Gentaro, his hand meeting his in the mirror. But his mirror is broken, the pieces shattered -- but one of his eyes looks directly at us, the audience.
dec 2022
An illustration featuring Kannonzaka Doppo and Jinguiji Jakurai from Hypnosis Mic in a Demon AU, loosely based off Sound Horizon's Seisen no Iberia. Their outfits are based on their ARB demon costumes. The portrait features Doppo resting against Jakurai's chest, his head tucked underneath Jakurai's chin. Doppo's hands are in front of him, carrying a flame in them. One of Jakurai's hands is supporting Doppo's and the other is on Doppo's shoulder. They're both gazing at the flame, gentle looks on their faces -- they are at peace together. The background is dark, with a bit of grunge texture. Flickers of flames are rising in the back.
oct 2022
An illustration featuring Noël from Sound Horizon's Anniversary Single Vanishing Starlight. It is set at night, the stars shining in the deep blue night sky. Noël stands at the center of the image, a determined look on his face. He is pointing at the the viewer, a microphone in his other hand as he tells us 'If [you] are crying several horizons across just call for <my music>[me] any time!' Behind him is a big star shining brightly, forming a sort of halo around his head and illuminating him from the back. In the back are blue flames, and blue feathers falling from the flames.
oct 2022
A parody of Sound Horizon's 7.5/8.5th Story blu-ray Ema ni Negai wo! (Prologue Edition) featuring Matenrou from Hypnosis Mic, a play on the song Rouran Jinja, which contains that same character ('rou') used to write 'Matenrou'. The background is a glorious Shinto shrine, emitting gold light as if from the heavens. There is a set of stairs leading to the shrine's entrance, where Hifumi (right) and Doppo (left) open the way. They are dressed as kannushi, with Hifumi in purple and Doppo in blue. Jakurai (dressed as the Shrine Official, who wears a wolf mask and Shinto priest garb) stands at the entrance of the shrine, the gold light and the distance making him seem like a godly figure. Two komainu flank his sides, one purple (right) and one blue (left) -- behind Hifumi and Doppo respectively. From right to left, there is a highlight of a purple to blue gradient. The shrine is also shrouded in golden smoke, and the scene is set during a starry night sky.
sept 2022
An illustration feat. Izanami Hifumi and Yumeno Gentaro from Hypnosis Mic. Towards the left, the two of them are dancing together, the image cutting off the upper parts of their faces. Hifumi is the lead, one hand on Gentaro's waist and the fingers of his other hand intertwined with Gentaro's. Gentaro looks slightly up at Hifumi, his hand choking Hifumi's throat. Hifumi looks back at him with a wolfish smile. Their shadows extend to the right, revealing a wolf baring its fangs where Hifumi is, as if ready to devour Gentaro. In the foreground are yellow roses flying towards the right. A beam of light shines down from the left, mostly hitting Hifumi. The color palette is mostly violets and yellows.
aug 2022
An illustration of Thanako from Sound Horizon's second story album Thanatos. She is depicted as a marionette, her joints like a ball jointed doll's. She screams in horror, her hands clutching at her face, as she continues to feel the eyes of Thanatos watching her. Her eyes are bloodshot from lack of sleep. Her hair is disheveled from fear. Behind her, the eyes of Thanatos continue to watch her... The palette is a dark violet with hues of pink. Thanako's front is illuminated while dark shadows loom over her.
aug 2022
An illustration of Jinguji Jakurai from Hypnosis Mic. He looks up to the heavens with a pensive look on his face, his hands clasped in prayer. A crown of thorns sits on his head, blood running down his face where the thorns prick him. His hands, as well, are covered in blood. His hair flies as if lifted by the air, and a red halo frames his head. A red light shines upon him, as if something -- not necessarily God -- is answering his prayers. The background is a roughly textured wall that's indigo. Bloody handprints cover the wall, starting from a bloody mess at the bottom and the handprints more discernable as your eye goes up the illustration, as if also reaching for the light that Jakurai prays to -- or perhaps reaching for Jakurai himself. The color palette is dark, mostly comprised of indigos and reds.
aug 2022
An illustration of Jinguji Jakurai from Hypnosis Mic. It's a bust up shot of him with his hair framing the outline of his silhouette. Jakurai is in the center of the image, holding the Earth in his hands. He peers down at it with a fond smile on his face, the light of the Earth reflecting on him with a soft, blue light. Two doves, one on the right and one on the left, are holding up sections of his hair with their beaks. The background is a starry night sky. The color palette is a range of soothing blues.
jan 2022
An illustration of Jakurai and Doppo from Hypnosis Mic. It's a somber image with light shining down from above of the two of them. They are on their knees, facing each other. Doppo (left) is gazing up at Jakurai, a hand reaching out to him, but hesitant to touch. Jakurai (right) is cupping Doppo's face, but his hair obscures his own features, as it is flying to the left. Above them is Jakurai's speaker, the chains filling up the space as if chaining them together.
may 2021
On top, Fling Posse (Hypnosis Mic), set in Stella (Ramuda as the scientist, Gentaro as the thief, and Dice as the king). They are lying on the stars, on top of a sigil from the Stella PV that represents their bond; they are all holding each others' hands with their heads meeting in the center. Their eyes are closed, but they are content -- happy with each other. While mostly cool, galactic colors, the stars are shaded in blues, reds, and greens to represent RGB (or, Fling Posse). The light shines from underneath them. On the bottom, Fling Posse, in the same pose as the Stella-verse piece, but now in their modern day attire. Now they are shaded in black to represent their Black Journey, with the background being yellow. They lay on top of another sigil that represents how their bond reincarnated to the modern era.
april 2021
An illustration of Izanami Hifumi and Yumeno Gentaro from Hypnosis Mic. They are power couple posing -- Gentaro's hand on Hifumi's chest, Hifumi's hand on Gentaro's waist, both their mics poised to attack, and their piercing gaze pointed at the viewer. Behind them are their speakers. The disco ball of Hifumi's speaker lights up the scene. Swirling around them are yellow rose petals and ofuda. You realize you are Fucked.
feb 2021
An illustration of Izanami Hifumi and Yumeno Gentaro from Hypnosis Mic. The background is a very pale shade of purple -- practically white -- with light shining down on Hifumi and Gentaro. Hifumi dips Gentaro as if they're dancing, their faces close together; lips nearly touching. Gentaro's bangs cover his eyes, however, and he wears a smirk. Hifumi has a pensive expression.
nov 2020
A night sky filled with stars and the full moon, which is embraced by thorns. Gentaro aims a bow an arrow at Hifumi, who is cursed. They're entangled together by a silver thread. The concept is based off Sound Horizon's Koibito wo Uchioshita hi.
oct 2020
An illustration of Yumeno Gentaro (Hypnosis Mic). He is standing before an arch of yellow roses, holding a yellow rose to his face himself. Though the rose obscures his lower face, his hooded eyes gaze right through the audience. The background is dark, but there are yellow petals flying through the scene.
july 2020
An illustration of Matenrou (Hypnosis Mic). The illustration is divided into three sections, featuring each of them in each section (Hifumi on the left, Jakurai in the center, Doppo on the right). They're all depicted with pensive expressions and shirtless in order to showcase the scars they've suffered. Hifumi holds onto the arm that was stabbed by his client. In his background, the kiss marks of women. Jakurai holds his hands to his face, looking directly at the audience. He has bullet wounds and cuts from the war/his assassin days and self-harm scars on his wrists. In his background are chains. Doppo looks down on his wrists, filled with keloids and scars from self-harm. In his background are papers flying from work.

feb 2019
An illustration featuring Mishiro (Blank Dream). It's a portarit, as seen through a mirror. The mirror is cracked, but it reflects Mishiro's surprised expression as the mirror breaks into pieces. Her reflection is shown in every shard.
june 2018
An illustration of Odagiri (Joker Game) for the Double Agent 2 fanzine. It's based on his mission in the novel, where he goes undercover as a geisha. Odagiri, as a geisha, passes by a mirror. Though he's looking forward, his reflection -- his standard look, not as a geisha -- looks at the audience, revealing a glimpse of his 'true' self so to speak
