I draw armor a lot -- sometimes it's practical, sometimes not. But I always have fun with it and I love drawing fantasy armor 💖✨

I suppose I should add this one from last year! Hopefully I'll be able to do them more than once a year lol.

Years ago I started getting a lot of comments about how warm my art was, so I started examining what I was doing, then just honed in on that further. I think voice is just noticing the patterns in the art you're making, and then honing it.
