| My name is Ploy, I’m known as Lezi Likes Cake on the internet. I’m an illustrator, character designer, and 2D animator who graduated from SAE University College with a Bachelor’s of Animation. My illustrations focus on blending the supernatural and the fantastical with historical periods such as the 1920s, early 20th century art nouveau and 1920s art deco. I have a personal passion project called Onmyoji City that I created when I was 17, which is a story about Japanese folklore and mythology set in 1920s Taisho era Japan, whom I work with collaborators in terms of drawing and writing. | |
I Think About Him All The Time
This piece is an ode to the manga, “Vagabond”, by Takahiko Inoue. It depicts the character, the witch Takiyasha-hime at a younger age realizing her love and affections for her long time friend and her eventual retainer and husband, Mamoru. It was at a time where they were more innocent and childlike, and her feelings were akin to puppy love— a young person’s crush.
A Medieval Yuletide
This piece was a Christmas present for two of my closest long distance friends. I drew all of us in medieval garb with the symbol of the green man, an icon who appears in the Christmas story of ‘Gawain and The Green Knight’, surrounded by mistletoe, a plant often associated with the holiday.
