VERY IMPORTANT DAI FACTS

some may be more important than others.

01.

ARTIST

Drawing things because the brain said “we need to make this immediately.”

02.

GAMER

Likely emotionally invested in at least one digital universe at any given moment.

03.

FANDOM RESIDENT

Characters are adopted. Universes are entered. Fan art happens.

04.

PROFESSIONAL DAYDREAMER

Possibly staring into space. Probably actually designing something.

DAI'S ARTIST DNA

CHARACTER ART FAN ART ANIME GAMING STORYTELLING DOODLES CHARACTER REDESIGNS 2AM IDEAS CHAOS

WHY I MAKE THINGS

Sometimes an idea just won't leave. Sometimes I see a character and wonder what they would look like if I drew them my way. Sometimes I just want to make something because making something sounds more interesting than doing anything else. So I draw.

CURRENTLY IN DAI'S BRAIN

subject to change with absolutely no warning.

CURRENT OBSESSION

probably fictional

New characters, new universes, new reasons to start another drawing.

CURRENTLY DRAWING

something complicated

And very possibly avoiding the part that involves drawing hands.

CURRENT MOOD

creative chaos

There are tabs open. There are sketches open. There are probably too many things open.

THIS IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST BIO.

Well... technically it is. But Dai is more than “an artist who works in various mediums.” She's a whole person with favorite characters, unfinished drawings, weird ideas, gaming sessions, creative rabbit holes and approximately seventeen things she would like to make at the same time. So this page gets to sound like her.

ENOUGH ABOUT DAI...

Go look at what she actually makes. ♡
