Xara’s Occasional Creations

i’ve been creating a lot of art lately as it helps to take my mind off of all the crappy things going on in my life, and because it turns out that having an art gallery is a huge motivator lol. thank you all for supporting me and my art; it really means a lot to me! 🖤

anyways, i’m about to go take a nap, but i just wanted to quickly share my new creations first. :’)



i actually meant to post this one a few days ago, but i of course forgot lol. this was my very first attempt at drawing my island rep (and in her new autumn/spooky season outfit, too!), and while it’s definitely pretty messy, i think it’s relatively decent for my first try aha.

i’ve spent the last day or so experimenting with different brushes while also deciding that i’m going to create art for each one of my friends. i’ve been using villagers as my brush experimentation models, and i couldn’t resist drawing agnes for @S.J.! sorry that this is so random lol, but i hope you like it! she was very fun to draw. :’)

Oh my gosh xara, these are amazing! 😭

I love your drawing of Agnes! 😭 Thank you so much for drawing her for me! 🥰❤ I really love the brush you used, and you included her signature catchphrase too. 😍

All of your villagers look so, so cute. I love your rep too. Her new outfit is so cute, and your drawing looks so good!
 
I'm so glad you have made this thread! 💜 Your art is so sweet and cozy - looking at it feels like a virtual hug! ^u^ I'm so excited to see all the lovely things you will create in the future ⭐

Oh my goodness, this is so gosh darn cute. I was happy to see Petunia and her adorable flower horn back, and your drawing of her is so sweet! 🥰🥰🦏

And I'm still in love with your rep's spooky season outfit. I don't even know what you mean that this isn't your best work, she looks so adorable! 😍❤❤

🥺🥺 thank you so, so much omg. petunia has been one of my favourite removed villagers for ages now, so i’m really happy to see her back as well! she’s gonna look even more gorgeous than she already does with new horizons’ graphics. <3



was once again inspired by tbt’s stunning banner, and a post that @kiwikenobi made, so i decided to doodle kapp’n sleeping under the stars! it’s not much, but i’m lowkey pretty proud of how this turned out. :’)

i also attempted to draw my lovely kitty, zeva, for the first time and uh,, it didn’t exactly go well LOL. she’d deadass disown me if she ever saw this, but at least whatever this is somewhat resembles a cat? i think lmao

Your kitty would never disown you. Most important thing to her is that you love her and treat her right and we all know you do. And that drawing is gorgeous. All of your drawings are so cute. ☺️💜 Keep it up.
 
xara, your art is beautiful and I love the fact you can even draw lineless! I can only do line art. 😅

aaah tysm!! i’m honestly so jealous that you can do line art — every attempt that i’ve made at doing it has been a disaster LOL. oh well, practice makes perfect! 😅💗

🥺 i’m gonna cry. thank you so much, dun! <3



i typically don’t post art this late, but here is a lil drawing i did of dr. shrunk at the beach! it’s not great, but i couldn’t resist doing something for my favourite axolotl. :’) 💗

i’m literally taking forever to make art for my friends lol, but this one’s for @Dunquixote! i know you’re going through a tough time rn, but i just wanted to thank you for the kindness and the friendship that you’ve shown me since we met. thank you for always checking in on me, sharing adorable kitty photos with me and hanging out with me. you’re amazing, and i’m very happy that we’re friends. this is nowhere near as good as the drawing you made for me, but i hope you like it anyways. :’) 💙

also, sorry for how badly drawn his shirt is — plaid and i don’t get along well LOL.

omg xara 🥺😭💜. This is so adorable and honestly much better than what I drew you (I owe you a much better drawing). You seriously had no need to thank me since that’s what friends do 🙂💜.We have to hang out again after the nintendo direct and when i feel better. ☺️

Would you be okay if i post this in my island journal eventually with credits back to you of course? :) i seriously love this so much.

Thank you so much for being my friend and for this wonderful surprise 🥺💜. I am so glad we’re friends and am so touched by this and your kind words. 🥺💜

aaah i’m so, so glad that you like it!! we definitely gotta hang out, but no rush at all! your well-being is more important — take care of yourself, friend. and i’m totally okay with you posting this in your island journal! 💜

also, the drawing you did for me is incredible. i cherish it and you so much. you gotta give yourself more credit; you’re so talented! 🥺
 
long time no post! i’ve been dealing with lack of motivation and a bit of art block this past week, but i finally created something new last night! i tt’d zell off my island in acnh yesterday, so i drew him with beau and fauna as the 3 of them are incredibly special to me, and have been since before new leaf released in NA. it’s not much, but i’m pretty happy with how this turned out! 🦌🌿

waaahh, long time no post! i promise i haven’t forgotten about this thread, i just haven’t felt motivated to create art in so long >_<. i’ve managed to create a few art pieces these last few months, though, so enjoy this quick lil dump until i get my mojo back. :’)​

i was initially waiting until i had more of these under my belt to share, but i lowkey like these too much to not share them now lol. i made an attempt at chibi-style art for the first time the other day and i’m... not sure if that’s actually what i made lmao, but i think they’re cute regardless! they’re not the best, and the eyes are pretty wonky, but i still like them. :’)

anyways, here’s some ‘chibis’ of whitney and cherry! 🐺🍒
