★ June 2026 "MAKING OF" ★ speedpaints, process, wallpapers (Patreon)

hello! ✽

FRESH HOT batch of behind-the-scenes stuff for all the process-heads out there. the main things I wanted to convey in june's artworks are feelings of zingy energy and bright sun-ripened colors, like the tingling that shoots up your arms and squeezes your eyes closed after you've bitten into a slice of citrus.

speedpaint is up top, wallpapers are at the bottom. enjoy~
