Digital illustration of Cori as Opal from Steven Universe. She is standing on her two tippy toes with attitude. As a four-armed Gem, Cori is holding a Thai tea boba, a glowing arrow, a massive bow, and her hip in her hands. She is wearing a deep blue patterned split tunic inspired by her Yukata. The background has dreamy clouds & floating rock mountains.

Inspired by the animated TV show Steven Universe, I illustrated this portrait of Cori Nakamura Lin (2020). I depicted Cori as the character Opal, wearing clothing influenced by a yukata she owns and carrying Taiwanese bubble tea.

Cori Nakamura Lin is a fellow illustrator I met in Minneapolis. She too holds multiple asian american identities, and has been a wonderful peer, collaborator, and friend.
