Fanart artist & Illustrator

Collection of artworks I did over the years (thought not every single piece, that would be way more, haha). In recent years I mostly exclusively draw for the TBHK/JSHK fandom, with sometimes some other series/themes sprinkled in. In the past, pre the tailend of 2021 I was mostly drawing shipping art for the pkmn fandom.Artworks sorted by year, and from newest > oldest in their assigned year.

2024

During spring to summer of 2024 I drew the first chapter (and one half of chapter two) of the Doujinshi version of the fanfic story of "good girl, bad bunny". Since late autumn of the same year the continuation of this project is however cancelled.

2022

Tarot-bound illustrations were created around summer to late autumn in 2022. As well some smaller edits and changes on them in late 2023/ early 2024.


2021


2020 (and older)

Mostly doodles and sketches, or anything that I wouldn't consider a "proper" artwork render. Sometimes these can be inspired by other people's fanfictions and ideas.
Sketches and doodles like these are honestly always very personal to me, since I put my mood and emotions into them - I'm usually not good at expressing myself, so I do it with art.

2023

2023 was a rather rough year for me, which can be seen in the later half of it in my art. I apologize, but I also feel like facing the bad times is more productive than just ignoring them and pretending they never happen. Lessons can only be learned if you face your demons and not just run away from them.

2021

From time to time I offer commission work. These can span over all kinds of fandom, or original character works. Commissions are usually "softly" open, meaning I not openly advertise them much but if you ask nicely enough I will take the request.
Though, I still hold myself the right to refuse if I just feel like it.


The Tarot-bound project started off as a commission to illustrate 80 artworks for the set. Over time it became much more than that and I also illustrated the guide book for it.

About

Other Aliases - gaarachaosqueen/ gcq/ the empress/ hepatikaa.Hi, I like to draw.
You can call me Mel. I'm a German artist, who mainly draws fanart for fandoms I like. I have been drawing my whole life and am a mainly self taught artist (aside one year of an art-school experience).
Usually I draw romantic arts of couples that I hold dearly in my heart, but also like to pepper my art with angst and dark themes.
Currently main fandom: TBHK/ JSHK, Ship: HanaNene/ AmaNene.
Games I enjoy: Mouthwashing, FAITH, Liminal Space, Observation Duty and Indie horror-adjacent games.


Other Works

Aside doing fanarts and illustrations for my own enjoyment, I have worked on a few smaller projects with other people.Past projects of mine include;
Tarot-Bound - [2022-2024] a TBHK inspired Tarot deck. Illustrated by me. The guide book that accompanies it was also illustrated and layout by me.
good girl, bad bunny - [2024] an adult oriented doujinshi (one chapter) inspired by a fanfic with the same name. Illustrated by me. The project is discontinued and cancelled.
hopefully a lot more to come
