The Hollow Knight x Goya Painting Parody: The Grubfather devouring his own Children
Today, I felt like doing a Hollow Knight painting parody. After looking through all my options, I decided to do parody of Saturn Devouring his Own Children by Goya. Goya was a Spanish painter from Spain who went crazy after Napoleon massacred his people. He had a firsthand view of the terrors of war, and naturally that affected his psyche. The Grubfather in the Hollow Knight devours all his children after you finish rescuing them. You hear them still alive inside his belly. When the knight tries to save them, his nail is unable to pierce the Grubfather’s belly. It...
Art Student BJD Doll Photoshoot
Today, I wanted to do a simple bjd doll photoshoot. I decided to make it art themed. Here, you can see my Bebe doll with some of my paintings. Her dress is Dollmore. I was using my legit paintings for some of the background props. I also added some nesting dolls that I painted a while back. The palette and the brush are the things I use to develop watercolor painting. All in all, I was trying to convey an artist studio type of feel. I just didn’t want to make her a regular student.

Manolo Miami Beach Revisited: What I ate this Sunday
It had been almost an entire month since I got out of the house. After analyzing our options, we decided to visit one of our favorite restaurants, Manolo. I mostly like going there for the desserts.

Moving along, so, we got on the car, and we drove to Miami Beach. There was a lot of traffic from Kendall to Miami Beach. They were having a boat show. Thankfully, the show...
Good Mangas to Read: Saikano, Chobits, Alichino, Helter Skelter ect.
Saikano: The Last Love Song on this little planet Manga Review Saikano is one of the best mangas ever written. It is about the romance between Shuji and Chise, the Ultimate Weapon. The story behind the creation of the manga is a bit odd. Shin Takahashi was riding on the bus. He suddenly saw a sign that said, “Ultimate Weapon”. This made him think about his wife, for some odd reason. He wondered what it would be like to be dating the Ultimate Weapon. From there, he developed the manga Saikano. The story is told mainly from the point of...
Scary Cat 4 Mana in the Basement Chibi Anime Drawing
I wanted to show you one of the raw pages of my new Scary Cat book. It is one of the best pages that I drew. Mana is looking for Pipa in the basement. The basement is where they keep the spirits. It is just a silly joke that I added. I worked pretty hard on the background elements. In this book, exploring the Spooky Mansion is the main objective. So, I had to make the mansion an interesting place for the readers and characters to explore. From time to time, I add kawaii faces to background elements. This is...
