DreamyLaLa's Art

[DreamyLaLa]

Hi, everyone! I’m somewhat new to Christian forums! One of the reasons I joined is because I am an artist/writer and wanted to share my creations with people and see what they think of it. I tried social media, but it feels kind of shallow and, in general, you always have to really stand out for people to notice you, so I felt ignored there. I also wanted to share with people who are Christians and/or who have the same moral values as me. I like to create beautiful art, but I am also passionate about creating art that is pure, too. I think my art would interest female preteens, teens, and young adults, but if you take an interest in shoujo manga/anime and/or pretty art with classic, wholesome themes that are also a lot of fun, then you might like my stuff! Thanks for stopping by!

This is a character of mine called Vanille Sucre. She is a French girl from the countryside and works at a tearoom. She is holding a jar of pastel macarons! (Picture made with alcohol markers.)

Vanille on a boat in a magical lake with a bridge in the background. (Picture made with colored pencils.)


I also like to paint non-anime pictures of feminine things such as flowers, pretty animals, and fashion illustrations using watercolors.

European-inspired vanity table (Made with watercolor brush pens.)

Kitty on a Pink Cushion (Made with watercolor brush pens.)


As I create more art, I'd love to continue sharing it with you on this thread! I’d also love to hear your thoughts on my art! But please be kind and respectful in your comments as I’ve worked hard on my creations and they mean a lot to me. Thanks!

I like your art a lot,especially with the combination of pastel colors and bright neons. In theory, you could make anime style drawings of Catholic saints, or Christian figures?

Thanks so much! That's an interesting idea though I always wanted draw and write about my original characters. Your idea actually reminds me of two different manga I read years ago about Judith and St. Paul. They're both published by an American company called Manga Hero (the company no longer exists, though). Have you heard of them?

You are welcome. I have not heard of the Manga Hero, I am more into anime compared to manga. But, I hope you can glorify God by making art of the saints. Secular art is okay also, but must be balanced with Christian art, in my opinion.

Thought I'd post a few spring-themed pictures of mine before the season whizzes by! (It is my second favorite season after summer!)

Daisies and pale blue abound in this picture! (Watercolor)

White lace roses amidst a background of lavender. (White ink on lavender-colored paper.)

A character of mine named Lacage who is a maid and an angel! She's holding a madeleine cookie. (Alcohol markers.)

My artwork on a mug of mine!

I hope that you sell your art. People would be willing to buy it. Nice rose art, by the way, and daisy watercolor.

Wow, thanks AlexB23, that means a lot to me! I actually do have two Etsy stores right now. One in which my sister and I sell our anime art and another in which I sell my non-anime art. I'll leave the links below. Let me know what you think of them, if you want. Feel free to tell anyone you know about my shops who might be interested, too!

I will tell others who are into anime more than I am about your shops. Etsy has a lot of Chinese-made crud on it (like most online stores in the 2020s), so thank you for making real art that is not Chinese import.

Your art is amazing! I love the pastel colors and the pretty, flowery designs so much! I really like the characters and the vanity and the cat...so cute and colorful. And your stationery, notebooks, and art prints are beautiful. I look forward to seeing more! ^-^

Oh, okay, I didn't know you liked anime more. Thank you for the input regarding art of the saints. Religious art can definitely glorify God in a special way. I think, though, that if a person feels called to creating secular art, he or she can also contribute to spreading goodness in the world if he or she has a proper understanding of the natural law and of the vocation of artists. I found Pope John Paul II's 'Letter to Artists' really helpful in understanding these concepts!
Also, sorry I didn't reply to your post right away. I sometimes like to mull over people's posts before rushing into a reply.

You are welcome. I would like to see if you can make an anime style St. Joseph though.

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it! Yeah, I've seen what you're talking about on Etsy. It's no good. Personally, I'm really saddened by so many products on Etsy that have messages or art that are in really bad taste...

Aww, thanks so much for your kind words! I'd like to show more art here in the future, as well as a sample of one of my stories once I finish editing it!

YW, again. Yeah, feel free to upload your art here, but use a watermark, cos some people steal art, especially AI sadly.

That's sounds pretty cool! Why St. Joseph? I kind of always wanted to try painting a picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, but I imagined those to be in a non-anime art style.

He is my favorite saint.

Cool, he's one of my favorites, too!

Here's another mug of mine as well as a very pink art piece of a chibi character of mine surrounded by all the things she enjoys like surfing and playing the drums! You can find both these designs on products of mine at my Etsy shop! Take a look if you're interested!
