Hello, my name is Melissa, and I'm an illustrator living in Canada. I'm a fan of anime, animated movies, Lolita fashion, and video games as well as many other things. I will mostly post my own artwork and reblog things that I like- no reposting my work, please. Welcome all! :)

Okay. Two of my favourite things... FFXV and Sailor Moon... today's a win! Love the colours, they're so dreamy and ethereal!
My painting of Moon Princess, Lunafreya of Tenebrae is done!
Very heavily inspired by my lovely friend @sailor-mochi, I decided to keep going when I was updating the sketch of Luna and then I kept changing it. Aside from me playing hours of Sailor Moon music, there was a tiny conversation that sparked between Reesie and I about Luna being the moon princess! And thus this painting was born—-it was plenty of fun and I hope you like it just as much as my moon princess did! (*＞ｖ＜)ゞ*゜+
Meet the artist thingy! :D okay, I’m not sure if my self portrait is really true to life (or easy to read for that matter…) but I really wanted to do something that told you guys who I am. I had a lot of fun with it even though I messed up my face and my writing is basically chicken scratch.
If you have any questions about ANYTHING (or specifically what something says if you can’t read it) please ask! :3
Done in White Nights and Cotman watercolours, with pilot g tec and pentel sign pens, with gel pens for details and writing in a watercolour sketchbook.
Oh my GOD I am screaming! <3333

"I'm a GENERAL, not some opera floozy!" Celes Chere in all her glory! Man, I always loved her, she is probably one of my favourite characters of all time. And that's saying a lot. So, obviously I had to draw her since it's been way too long since I gave her some love! Done in White Nights watercolours, gel pen, and Pentel sign pens.
Awwww look at themmmmmmm
Ayyy I finished it lol Happy Valentine’s day to everyone! Especially to my dearest friends whom I love with all my heart~ ♡ (*´∀｀*)
Blue Diamond from Steven Universe! MAN. I can't wait to see more of her, she is lovely- and of course it's nice we see a human side to the diamonds! Done in kuretake real brush markers, gel pens, and pentel touch pens in a watercolour sketchbook.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IGNIS!!
I wanted to draw my favourite character (COUGH -HUSBAND- COUGH) on his birthday, so I messed around in my sketchbook again- god I see so much wrong with this it’s not even funny. But hey, practise makes perfect! I used Kuretake real brush markers for colour and some pentel touch pens for inking. Hopefully his ebony stash is full!
Just a quick lil something for this birthday boy. ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
Noctis and Luna as Eugene and Rapunzel from Tangled!!! :D I meant to post this sketch last week but life got so busy and all- I know I make that excuse all the time but it does *cries* Anyway, I'll probably be doing something with this at one point- thoughts?
Poster and two screencaps from Tangled: Before Ever After. Premieres March 10 and the Series March 24.
Another sketch book piece! I don't really know what I was doing here lol, but I love the colours and all. I just wanted to push myself with only using very few colours for the painting part of it. Done in Cotman paints (alizarin crimson and ultramarine blue), uniball gel pens (silver and white), fine tec pearlescent paint, Pentel sign pens for inking, and a Winsor Newton watercolour marker (lamp black).
Ahh! It’s so cute I could die!
In which Wiz phones up the boys to let them know that one of the chocobos at the stables has adopted Ebony (Wiz totally let the boys name her) as her own and they’re getting along just fine ♥
WOO! Another sketchbook piece- I experimented with inking and my white gel pen, as well as colour value- I really like how it turned out, I had fun doing it! I love the way her pose turned out too, and it was fun doing all the details! Done in Winsor Newton Cotman and Gansai Tambi watercolour paints, fine tec gold paint, pentel sign pen (pigment based), pentel sign pens (water based) and gold and white gel pens in a strathmore visual journal (cold press watercolour paper).
IT'S FINALLY FINISHED!!! Here's Lunafreya in all her glory- I hope, anyway, haha. I'm not sure if the background looks correct technicality wise, but I'm very happy with how it turned out for now. Ugh, I love Luna a lot, I hope I did her justice! Done in markers, fine tec gold and pearlescent paints, gel pens, and inked with pentel sign pens and Pilot g tec pens.
Paint and flowers are the best 🎨🌷🌼🌺🌻

Messed around in my new watercolour sketch book after I sketched something I liked. I had fun with it and didn't think about it much- maybe I should do more like this, it was so quick to do, even though there are things I would do differently in the future. I used gansai tambi watercolours, akashiya sai pens, gel pens, a gold wink of stella pen, and pentel sign pens. I sketched on printer paper, then traced onto the watercolour paper, painted, then inked.
This meant SO much to me you have no idea. I can barely describe this in words- thanks so much again, you made the rest of 2016 for me!!! I’ll get your gift up when I do some editing and get a better scan/photo LOL!
Some pieces that I made for my best friend as a christmas present. These are my best works so far, so I also wanted to share them on the internet. Maybe you guys will enjoy them just as much as we did. I tested out a new hair drawing, colouring, and shading with them, as well as some new skin shading techniques (at least, new for me to use. x3) and I’m really loving the results. So I’m going to keep practicing them whenever I can. :D I still need to keep working on making cleaner shading, and maybe changing how I do my line art, but I’m still getting better and better at drawing! :D
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, GUYS!
I DONT CARE WHAT SEASON IT IS, EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS
Inking of Lunafreya Nox Fleuret- I smeared the inking on her trident, but it's minor and easily fixable in the colouring stage. I love how her inking turned out!!
Guess who's FFXV trash~! *hint: it's me.* Anyway. This is Lunafreya Nox Fleuret in her Kingsglaive dress, since I love it so much. It's just so different and regal- plus it will be so much fun to draw the details later on! I like how this prelim turned out, so I'll see how much better it will be when I work out the kinks I might find. Pencil on paper.
