Hullo! 

Hope everyone is slipping into 2021 well, and I wish you all a wonderful year ahead.

Sorry that it's been a while since I've posted anything up in this blog. I'm mostly on Instagram (mel.celestial), Facebook (MelCelestialArt), and sometimes on Twitter (MellieCellie).

I will still continue to maintain this blog, though. For any further inquiries, you can DM me through any of my accounts above.

Peace and love,
Mel

Punkette Peach

A Punkette Peach to Keep Punky Bowser company

Finally!

I've been procrastinating over the years, but I now have my own personal business card! And I'm quite happy with how it turned out! Maybe in the future, I'll provide variations of the illustration on the contact side.

Punky Bowser

Played a bit more on Genderbent Bowser, except going down a punk road instead. 

The reason I decided to forego the crown is because I was toying with the idea that he picked up the axe-shaped lever by his bridge (with a certain incantation, the guitar will reveal itself), and played a sick riff on it to complete his transformation.

I had been sitting for a certification exam recently, and I am happy to announce that I am now a certified Toon Boom Storyboard Pro professional! 

Below is my submission for the practical exam - it took me about 10 days to complete (7-9 hours) including modeling the 3D environment in Maya. I really had tons of fun playing around the newest additions in this version. Hope I will get to use its full potential again soon.

Commission: Kasturi

I had the wonderful pleasure of being commissioned by Brossuno, who wanted two different digital illustrations of my OC, Kasturi, from my Fisherman's Son collection. Thanks so much for you mountain of patience!
