Commissions

Here's some commissions I've been working on over the last few weeks.

 

This was a logo design for a good friend of mine. I sketched it in pencil first, then did the final piece in Illustrator CS4

 

WIP of a full color commission I'm working on. Hopefully I'll have it finished today!

Sailor Kathy!

Just another Sailor Scout drawing, this time my friend's original character! The colors were chosen from an outfit her character wears, the pose from a classic Sailor Venus picture. This was a LOT of fun to do, hahah! There will be plenty more of these "Your Character as a Sailor Scout" drawings!

Art Dump!

Oh man, I've been pretty bad about keeping this place updated. I'm hoping to fix that, starting today! Here, have a bunch of art I've been doing over the last few months XD

SOPA/PIPA... Do not want! And why you shouldn't want them either

You know, I don't like to get involved in politics, but sometimes you HAVE TO. These SOPA & PIPA bills are insane & will affect EVERYONE who uses the internet. Even if you're like me & prefer to keep out of politics, this is important. I've found all these links today alone from what friends have posted on Facebook.


Here, educate yourself !

Song about SOPA/PIPA

A blog on Reddit explains SOPA/PIPA

Google explains SOPA/PIPA

A really good video explaining the bills & why they're so bad for lovers of the internet. This video is one of the best out of all these links, imo. It gives a short, concise explanation of what's going on &how it will affect you. Even if you don't read through all these other links I've posted, at least watch this. It's only 4 minutes long.

If you don't want to call or write a letter yourself to your representatives, here's an easy alternative to still make your voice heard

Here's a PDF file showing a current list of companies all over the US opposing the bill

Another simple way to let Obama know you're against this bill!

Yet another site to sign so people know just how ridiculous we all think this bill is.

The guy who created SOPA doesn't even follow his own rules.



Srsly guys, even if you're not into politics, this is a really important thing to get involved in. EVERYONE will be affected by these bills, no matter how little or how much you do online. Don't let these bills pass! Call your representatives today, or write them, or simply sign one of the many petitions out there, some of which I've linked to here.

Together, we can stop SOPA/PIPA from being passed.

Starbucks Sketches & More

Recently I've been trying to do a page of sketches each night before bed in my Moleskin sketchbook. I'm trying not to think so much when I do these, just draw and not worry about anatomy, perfection, etc. Really enjoying it so far :3



Last night's sketch page featured tubby unicorns and a small girl :3 May do some more with these two in the future.



Studies done at Starbucks. I still need to push my gestures, but this was a lot of fun to do.



Random doodles. I drew the left girl first, then decided to do the same girl, only much heavier. It was a fun exercise & I want to do it some more.

That's all for now! I've been doing some Christmas gift paintings I'll post after the holidays. :)

Wishing everyone a safe & wonderful holiday!

30 Day Challenge (so far)

Day 2: Fave animal. I chose the snow leopard, as I love all big cats, but they're definitely my favorite of the group :)

Day 3: Fave food! I decided to show a couple of the types of food I could ALL DAY EVERY DAY and never get sick of, haha XD



Day 4: Fave place. I ended up going w/ my bed, as it's the one place in all the world where I feel the most comfortable, the most relaxed. Yes, there are other places, like the forest, anything w/ running water, etc, but this seemed like a good one to go with :3




Day 5: Your BFF. I don't really consider anyone a "best" friend, though I do have "close" friends and those I could tell anything to & not have to feel judged or worry that they'll tell everyone my secrets. Meagan is one of those friends, which is why I chose her for this one :)

Day 7: Fave word. I don't have a particular favorite word, but I do have two I tend to use way more than is necessary: Awesome & Fuck.



Day 6: Fave book characters (not from a movie). These are Elene & Kylar from Brent Weeks's The Night Angel Trilogy. I LOVE these two. They go through so much shit, together and apart, and their strength through the whole series was amazing to me. I love them so much X3

I'm happy with how Elene came out, but Kylar, not so much :\ He was meant to be lean and muscular, but I made him a bit too tall, and his proportions aren't right. I should have given him a longer torso, and less long legs, since he needs to be able to crawl around & fit into tight spaces for what he does throughout the series. Maybe I'll try illustrating these two again some day :)



Day 8: Fave animated character. I went with the easiest, Sailor Moon :P She's also the one character that no matter how old I get, I will always love her.

Art Dump!

Somehow a thread on a friend's Facebook page ended up talking about redesigning Disney Princesses as punks XD So here's the start of my take on Jasmine!

More punk Jasmine ideas


My first attempt at drawing Morrigan from Dark Stalkers


Christmas paintings for two of my cousins :)


Reindeeeer X3


I don't draw enough chubby girls X_x
