Watercolor Portraits (March – June 2021)

Aquarell, Art, character, Faces

In the spring of 2021, my interest in Korean music began to wane. I found the industry increasingly perplexing, and ultimately, I just wasn’t enjoying it anymore. During this period, I was quite active on my art Instagram account, where fan art of K-Pop stars garnered a lot of love. However, creating original characters became disheartening, as it was challenging to reach an audience.

As my enthusiasm for posting faded, I noticed the rise of Reels on the platform. This shift meant I had to film my entire creative process to gain likes and engagement, which only added to my stress. I realized that I was no longer enjoying painting as I once had; I was too focused on capturing the process rather than immersing myself in my art.

The portraits you see here were created during this transitional phase, when I was still trying to maintain my output while clinging to my Instagram presence. I participated in numerous “Draw This in Your Style” challenges, where artists reinterpret an original character in their unique style. It was a fun way to connect with other artists and explore creativity, even as my relationship with art was evolving.

The first and largest portrait in this collection features my favorite character from the webtoon—and now anime—Solo Leveling: Esil Radiru, a demon princess who captivated me during my reading.

You’ll also notice that I began experimenting with different mediums in my art. I moved beyond just watercolors, blending them with acrylic paints and colored pens to create more dynamic compositions.

This here was probably my last K-Pop related artwork.
I am still a bit sad that I wasted so much time, I could have used to create my own characters, by obsessively painting K-Pop stuff. Especially since I am in no ways okay with the capitalistic and human- destroying way, the K-pop Industry works.

But I can’t change that now. And even though I am not happy that I was such a big fan of that music genre, I can happily say that I was never an obsessive fangirl, but simply loved the music, the dancing and the costume & music-video design. And with that thought in mind, I can say that I learned a lot during that time.
And the bottom of this blog-entry, you can see my first watercolor artwork I ever created (which was also K-pop related).

So yes, I did learn a lot during that time, art wise. And I started my journey on finding my own art style.



Underneath, you can see my first K-pop and my first watercolor artwork.

Cyberpunk 2077 (2020)

Aquarell, Art, character, Faces, Watercolor

For one of my moms colleagues birthday, I was supposed to paint a card last minute. Since apparently He likes video games, I decided on this one. It ain’t my favorite one but she’s still cute.
To be honest I must say, that I still haven’t played it yet. But with all the negative backla

sh and the fact, that mycomputer would simply die by trying to run it, I haven’t found the motivation to actually get it.

Also on this watercolor card, you will simply think that she has purple skin, but it’s actually the lighting (which you can’t really notice, since my execution is rather poor lol)

after finishing my rabbit mask so I started a new one. I still gonna take good quality pictures of it but here it is. It was inspired by Tokyo Ghoul, the masks from Bring me the horizons Parasite even and the traditional Oni mask.

It’s made of plaster, hot glue, modelling paste and some plastics I found in the bin. Its painted with acrylics. I made the teeth out of FIMO

Rabbit mask pt. 2

Art, character, Faces, Masks, masks

so here you can see how she turned out. I’m really happy with that mask. Especially because I haven’t done one in over three years. So the whole mask is made of plaster, modelling paste and then painted with acrylics. the ears are made of some really stable but light material. I put middle thick wire at the sides, so that I can bend them and that they are even more stable. Afterwards I painted some shadows with chalk. I wanted to blood at the top of her head to shine so I put some ind of clear vanish over it.
