🎨 commission. this is a fun one because i drew everything on their own canvas so i can rearange everything in the room like the unpacking or the sims game.

the clean and well organised room without the character.
everything is on the floor this time for rearanging.
things are arranged differently this time with the books on the top shelves and the plants on the book shelf.
