This month we are proud to highlight @flaunchgg through our art piece illustrated by @hiwana43 Hiwana, an artist from Japan, is known for her distinctive chibi illustrations, characterized by cheerful expressions and vivid colors in fantasy themes. She left her nursing job in 2022 to pursue her lifelong dream of being an artist, and currently works as a full-time illustrator primarily creating animated stamps and merchandise for Vtubers and streamers, with over 270 personal commissions completed! Her web3 journey began just two months before her commitment to a full-time illustration career. Someone discovered her work on social media and reached out, becoming her first American friend and introducing her to the onchain anime art community. From there, she's published art on Foundation, placed in contests, and collaborated with multiple projects! Today, she remains deeply engaged in the web3 space, empowering her to live as a creator. Hiwana is ever grateful to the supportive community that has made her success possible!
