2015, I was 18-19 and straight out of high school. I wasn't well versed in digital art but my mom gave me a 100 dollar HP laptop she bought from a friend. For my birthday I had begged for a cheap wacom tablet. There was a lot of art resources on tumblr and deviantart. I drew every day, I tried to teach myself everything about digital art.
My main fandoms were Disgaea, Homestuck, Steven Universe, Star Vs. the Forces of Evil and Gaia Online. I was running a Raspberyl ask blog from 2014 - 2015, but gradually stopped updating it. Halfway through 2015 my interest in the Disgaea fandom waned and my interest in Homestuck grew.
My main art programs was the free copy of Photoshop Elements that came with my tablet, and Clip Studio Paint.
Early Bryce Design when she was known as 'Nebula'. I didn't have many OCs back in the day, so I decided to make one by combining aspects of my favorite character designs.
A lot is going on in this character design. I remember seeing a lot of deviantart adoptables and wanting to emulate their chibi-styled art.
For a while I had a forum fan-adventure on the original MSPA forums. I didn't get too far in the story, but I had a few character sprites, and story docs done.
It's a personal curse of mine to be into the most obscure ships of any given fandom. Disgaea 3 is arguably one of the more popular Disgaea games out there, but there's absolutely 0 content for Rutile and Stella. Listen, I know they're not popular. I know that their DLC story wasn't well received by the D3 fandom, but please, here me out: I think they're actually well-written, and fun, and sometimes girls can have a little codependent friendships as a treat.
I ran a Raspberyl ask blog from 2014-2015. Beryl is peak character design and she's funny. I really liked that she had an alt-outfit in the D3 DLC stories.
I didn't play Disgaea 5 when it initially released but I really liked Usalia's design. I eventually played the game and the D5 crew became one of my favorite Disgaea ensembles.
