Where do you find inspiration
for your designs?
I draw a lot of inspiration from music, mythology, and interesting stories or events
I come across. My illustrations tend to be more story-driven.
Do you have a favorite piece of art you've created to date? What makes it special to you?
Hair cut is one of my favorite pieces of my OC, Morpheus! I really love how the lighting and vintage decor turned out in this one. It’s also a fan favorite!
Another piece I really love is the one with two characters in a hot spring. The atmosphere turned out beautifully, and I feel it really captures the deep love between them.

What are some of your favorite
books or authors?
One of my favorite anime series is The Twelve Kingdoms, based on the novels by Ono Fuyumi. The traditional Chinese-inspired clothing designs are stunning, and the story is fascinating—it explores the idea that when unworthy rulers take the throne, their kingdoms inevitably fall into ruin, bringing suffering to the people. The themes are very compelling, and I love how it presents traditional values in a meaningful way.
