About Me
Hello! I'm SerenDark.
She/Her | 20's | Demi bisexual, poly
➤ I really like character-focused illustrations and hope to improve at storytelling, backgrounds, and scenery! I aspire to depict gentle, tender, and raw emotional scenes, really embedding emotions into the moods of my work.
➤ I'm trying to get better at drawing the different themes I love, and I want to improve at depicting varied bodies and LGBTQIA+ content.
➤ My aesthetic tastes range from gritty otherworldly horror to whimsical fantasy or just plain cuteness! I adore magic, magical girls, misc. fantasy, tragedy, body horror, monsters, and thought-provoking or thoughtful stories. I like to cry.
➤ I really like videogames and anime/manga!
Some of my favorite games include: Soulsborne, Overwatch, Team Fortress 2, the Tales Of franchise, the Half-Life & Portal games (including Portal Stories: Mel and hlvrai), Transistor, Arknights, and Darkest Dungeon! I also love RPG Maker horror games like Ib, OFF, Misao, The Witch's House, Mad Father, and Angels of Death.Some of my favorite anime/manga series include: Madoka Magica & Magia Record, The Ancient Magus' Bride, Land of the Lustrous, Pandora Hearts, Dungeon Meshi, Witch Hat Atelier, Higurashi & Umineko, Cardcaptor Sakura, xxxHolic & Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, and Tokyo Mew Mew! I have a big soft spot for RWBY.
➤ If you like my work and want to help support me + my household (my beloved partner, my metamour, and our 3 cats!), please consider commissioning or tossing a tip!
We're not in danger but money is tight and more would contribute greatly to mental health, cat caretaking, emergency savings, quality/enjoyment of life, and just more financial padding in general.
Merch
✿ To be announced: ? ✿
Once I feel comfortable enough, I'd like to open a shop and sell stickers!
However, that time may not be soon. I'll post on Twitter when there's updates.
Thank you for your patience. ^w^
My ideas for stickers are a whole lot of cute chibis!
I'd love to make some for Tokyo Mew Mew, Arknights, and other series I love.
But the main thing I really want to draw stickers for are Magia Record's cute outfits!

➤ Commissions are not first come first serve, slots are limited, and I do not automatically accept every application. I will personally choose what I want to work on and when. Please have patience.
➤ If your application is not accepted due to lack of slots but I do have interest in fulfilling your order, then I will add you to my waiting list and reach out to you the next time I have slots.
➤ I might take a while to complete a commission. Please be patient, I will get back to you when I can.
