Heyo, everyone! As you may already know, I go by "BeanieFlake" (also known as @dj_snas) on the internet.
I am a young, self-taught freelance artist specializing in both digital and traditional mixed media art, & Amateur Photographer based in California, specializing in both digital and traditional illustrations, curious about the wonders of the world, and willing to learn whatever I can to better improve myself, both socially, mentally, financially, and physically as an individual. A variety of media inspires my illustrations and photographs, so I find creativity in many sources. I create fan art from TV shows, movies, and anime in various styles, with a preference for Chibi, though I am open to utilizing my everyday style instead. For photography, I mainly focus on pets, commercial products, automobiles, astrophotography, and nature. If you're interested in any of these areas, feel free to reach out!I have a strong interest in 2D character animation because I would LOVE to see my characters—and possibly others—come to life, rather than just staring at still, lifeless images all the time. My goal is to pursue this passion for my own entertainment and financial growth through freelancing, whether by self-teaching or by enrolling in an art school. (I’m also currently a college student—hurray!)Many may know me for my fan illustrations related to the YouTube series "Spookymonth", created by Sr Pelo. I started creating this content between 2019 and 2023, which played a significant role in shaping my current path. However, I have since expanded my interests, and you will now find a variety of fresh faces featured throughout my profile.
Likes: characters listed to the <-- are some shows I enjoy just to give you a general idea, video games, art of any kind, any type of music as long as it has a good beat to it (prefer instrumentals over lyrical), animals (birds heavily but dogs are great as well), movies, any aesthetics, ambivert type of people, collectables, organization, youtubers (blueryai, 3fs, jerma985 and caseoh 100%), nature, traveling, exploring new things
Dislikes: insects/bugs, motion sickness, unsolicited anything, root beer, math, watermelon-flavored stuff, spicy foods, people finding anything normal humans do as "cringe", like be for real, unwanted criticism, petty nonsense
Q: Where did your username originate from?A: DJ because it's cool and a fairly common name used by many, I would think, and Snas is literally just Sans backwards lololo. Why did I choose this? Because little kid me was an unhinged fan of the game back then, and besides, I thought it was funny at the time, I'm kinda surprised it has stuck for this long, to be honest. Meanwhile, BeanieFlake came out of nowhere, to be honest, plus it sounds like a good cereal brand.Q: What tools/references/software do you useA: I use Clip Studio Paint, Live2D, AfterEffects, and IbisPaint, and I draw on a Huion Kamvas 13 + Samsung A54. For references, I utilize a variety of platforms, ranging from Google, Adobe Stock images, Pinterest, and media from Western, donghua, and anime industries.Q: DMS / PMS open?Direct Messages (DMs) are permitted specifically for the following purposes: commissions, art requests, art trades, art collaborations, or if you would like to share and discuss our common interests. I am not a very social person on the internet if I can help it, but these purposes normally keep me level-headed. (Current obsessions: Splatoon, Gachiakuta, Bleach, Golden Kamuy, All Saints Street, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (JJBA), Ace Attorney, One Piece, Pokémon, and Super Crooks.)
➥ I block freely➥ I choose who to follow, so do not request a follow-back.➥ My page may contain slightly suggestive content, though a majority of it is SFW, so be advised! (pure NSF W is held on another profile which can be accessed by DMing me for those 18+)➥ For my Discord users, I only accept friend requests and direct messages for business inquiries. Once I have completed an art trade, art request, collaboration, server assistance, or commission, I will remove you from said list to keep my friend list organized, as this is a personal pet peeve of mine. However, you are more than welcome to re-add me if you're interested in working with me again in the future. Please don't take this personally! :)➥ I am not very social unless the conversation is related to my fandom interests/commissions. If you try to chat with me about other general topics, I may or may not ignore you.➥ I don't stick to creating artwork for one sole fandom alone anymore. So, if you plan on following me for a specific fandom, whatever that may be, then please leave. I'd like my work and myself as an artist to be known for a variety of things!➥ I am "kind of" Spoiler-free (`Though I often forget to put a warning up, so remind me if something is a spoiler, thank)➥ I archive my posts often due to old works I despise looking at lol + clutter, idk what is wrong with me➥ There will always be constant profile layout changes, I can't help myself!! 😭➥ Tone indicators are not recommended or required during communication, but are appreciated nonetheless. I don't mind them!-Reading tones through text or in person is difficult for me, just a heads up, but I'll try to follow along

I mainly use "ClipStudioPaint & IbisPaint" to create the artwork showcased, though Paintool Sai 1-2 was used at one point in time, which were made between the years 2021 and 2026. This page features: illustrations, character designs, concepts, storyboarding, animations, commissions from past clients, art trades, requests, collabs, and more.

This collection isn't necessarily contained within a sketchbook; instead, the contents have been removed and stored in various places around my room. These are doodles I've created over the years, capturing random ideas that came to mind—both digital and traditional—between 2021 and 2026. You'll see a mix of different art styles represented here. Please note that not everything will be featured in this collection, as I share additional content on my social media accounts.

I've created numerous animations between 2020 and 2025. Some of these were made using Flipaclip on my phone and are now lost to history, while others were created with Clip Studio Paint, Alightmotion, and AnimeEffects. The majority of the work showcased here consists of personal projects, with only a few based on fan art from other fandoms; however, I would like that to change in the future. I'm still honing my skills, and I’m not yet a master, but I'm dedicated to practicing and improving until I reach that level someday.
Includes my own films, stop motion, hand-drawn / vector, 3D, reels, trailers, and so on.
Includes various types of art media, primarily focused on TV shows, anime, and movies.
