'AKI FUJIWARA'

This is another character I designed as part of a collaborative project known as Wallflower Academy. I leaned heavily into visual storytelling, giving her a scared expression and earthy tones to show her nervous disposition and connection to nature.
'NOELLE LARUE'
2025, digital illustration
This character was part of a creative challenge project, where artists were given a description of a character's personality but no visual descriptors, and the artists had free range to design the characters based off that description. The description I got for Noelle, to summarise, was 'stern and strict but her student's best interests at heart'.
WRITING
While I'm primarily an illustrator, I do dabble in writing and consider myself a hobby author. Here are some snippets from pieces I'm proud of:
'Danny clamboured up Chris’s garden tree with a concerning amount of confidence, considering how dark it was. From his angle, he could see directly into Chris’s bedroom, where the aforementioned boy sat with his back towards the window. Danny idly realised this was how people get arrested for stalking and disturbance of the peace.Chris groaned upon hearing the rhythmic taps on his window. He knew who it was, and why they were here – but he wasn’t giving in. He was strong-willed, goddamnit. And he’d tell that to their face. That was the only reason he was going up to the window and opening it. To tell this certain person to get lost.“Chris, we gots to book. We’re already late!”“We? There’s no we here, Danny. I’m not going.”Danny blinked incredulously. “You were serious about that?”Chris pinched the bridge of his nose. It’s not that he didn’t want to go. Even he, with his impeccable goody-two-shoes reputation, longed to experience a cliched high school party. But he couldn’t give into temptation. He just had to wait a few more years before he would be legally allowed to drink – he’d made it seventeen years without needing it. What was an extra four?'

'Dave sighed against the window, watching as it fogged up in the winter air. He traced his finger on the cold surface, drawing patterns in his breath.“Don’t do that, you’ll scratch the glass.” Jamie chastised, quietly as to not wake Mary in the back. Dave sighed again, slumping into his chair.“What do you care, anyway? It’s not even your van.”“Yeah…” Jamie blinked a few times. Somehow, it was only just dawning on him that he stole the vehicle. From a psychiatric clinic, no less. “Yeah. No, it’s not my van.”“Mate, if you’re about to have a panic attack, please don’t do it on the road.”“I’m not, Dave. I’m fine.” Jamie kept his eyes fixed on the road. He dared not glance at Dave’s hand, and certainly not the ring he was fiddling with. His own finger felt barren and naked – He’d been wearing his wedding band every day for seven years until now. Yes, he took it off to sleep and the like, but to go about his day with it absent was unheard of for him.He bit down hard on his tongue, pleading the tears threatening to spill to stay put, lest his vision fog while on the road. The revealed betrayal of Layla – or Hawkwind, more appropriately – still stung like an open wound, the tension heavy in the air.“Yeah, but you’re not fine, are you?” Dave said softly.Jamie allowed his eyes to stray from the road for a fraction of a second, meeting Dave’s.He didn’t answer, though.Dave propped his head up against the window. “Don’t just sulk. You can talk to me, mate.”“I don’t know what to say, Dave.” Jamie answered bluntly. “I mean, what can I say that I haven’t already? Nearly every person in my life lied to me and I spent seven years searching for a woman I didn’t even know. What else is there, really?”'

'“Well, what I mean is–”“Oh, for god’s sake, Shuichi. Grow a spine.” Maki snapped. “Kiibo, It’s because you can’t eat.”Kiibo gawked at the two of them. “Are you really being robophobic at a time like this?!”“It’s not robophobia if it’s a fact, man.” Kaito grimaced.“Well– It’s the way you say it that makes the difference–” Kiibo stuttered, trying to formulate an argument. Shuichi sighed and placed a hand on Kiibo’s shoulder.“Kiibo, listen to me.” The genuine plea in his voice shook Kiibo to his core. “You’re the only person I can trust right now. Could you please help me with the investigation? I don’t think I can do it alone.”Person.Kiibo blinked. “If… If that is your wish, Shuichi. I’d be more than happy to assist you.”“Thank you,” Shuichi squeezed Kiibo’s shoulder gently. “It means a lot.”Kiibo nodded, still a bit dazed as to what just happened. Had he just been appointed as Shuichi’s detective partner?'

So, who am I?
I'm an Australian-based creative with too many passions and ideas. I'm currently undertaking an art course as well as searching for plays to audition for in my spare time. I also take commissions, which you can contact me anywhere to enquire about (or click here to go to my commission info website!).I'm currently working on a multitude of solo and collab projects, most notably 'Questathon', my up-and-coming webcomic project. I also do quite a lot of fanart, as I am a nerd at heart. I love old british sitcoms, bizzare sci-fi and children's cartoons.If you're interested in my work, or commissioning me, collaborating with me or even just getting to know me as a person, don't be scared to contact me on any of my socials (linked below and on the homepage). I don't bite -- much! :)
