New Years Kiss

Happy New Years everyone! I'm excited to see what 2016 has in store. Welcome year of the Monkey!

To celebrate the winter season, I threw together this picture of Rover and a certain White Cat having a cute New Years moment. :)

Also, I just love moon-lit scenes and I just can't help myself.

May you all have a fun holiday, and please be safe!

Sneak Peak--REVEALED!!!

The Courageous Windmill

Well, I said I would update you all when the picture was finally finished-- Ta da!

This D&D campaign has finally ended! I do love to role play, but lately with life happening, I've had to put it on the side burner -sad-

Anyway, one of the biggest things I've attempted (outside of maybe college projects?) 9 characters in one picture! phew. Hope everyone in the group likes it :)

ps, can you guess which character is mine? Or my husbands? (no, they are not interacting here in this picture)

Sail my Ship

I'm sending this as a Christmas gift to my family and friends this year (because being an artist means you are poor and can't buy christmas gifts)

but that's ok, because someday this will be worth millions!!! Maybe. who knows

The theme of my life this year can be summed up in this picture and quote. It's been rough, but educational. and I like to think that I've become better because of it! and I'm just going to keep getting better! Because as long as I'm in this boat, I'm going to keep sailing and getting through it. 

I hope you guys enjoy it too!

 I hope you have a wonderful holiday. I'll see you after Christmas! :D

Well, hello there visitor.

These pictures have taken 59.5 hours to finish in total. @____@ my goodness! Now, on average, that means I only spent about 2-3 hours each, but still!

No wonder I was inactive for a few months!

Anyway, a part of the commission was to make the picture super "epic" and dynamic, showing off their signature move. Now, this was easy for the most part. They practically named Blaze Kick after Blaziken. But some... where more difficult. For instance; Empoleon. I've always been disappointed by the obvious LACK of steel type moves for that guy. especially because there's one that seems so obvious to me!

And don't even get me started on Samurott... *shudder*

I also need to say Thank you to ResistanceGirl11 silver-dragonetsu and Kosumosu for helping me when I was in a pinch, and suggesting colors for a picture I was stuck on! You guys are awesome!

All in all though, I have learned TONS with this series. forcing myself to stick to a limited pallet (in fact, forcing myself to color these at all) and adding a background to most of the pictures has stretched me so much. I feel like I've really "leveled up" as an artist after this. I'm very confident in my ability to choose colors and paint decent pictures. I'm no where NEAR where I want to be *coughAva's DemoncoughGlitchedPuppetcough* but I'm glad to have done this to push myself.

That being said, I HIGHLY SUGGEST TO ALL ARTISTS trying to improve themselves to just get over your fear and JUMP INTO COLOR THEORY. whether its watercolor, acrylic, oil, or digital, just pick a medium, pick a comfortable subject to draw, then color it! Again! and Again! AND AGAIN! 

and YOU TOO WILL FEEL VICTORIOUS!

Tapastic + big Project!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, I know I did! It's been great being with family... but I'm pretty excited to be home and drawing again.

I've been working super hard on this commission that was given to me a few weeks ago. It's probably one of the biggest things I've ever worked on, with more characters in one picture than I've ever attempted before!

And it's finally DONE...!!

*flops*

I am waiting to hear from the client if it looks good before I start posting the online versions, but here is a sneak peak of just the corner of the picture. 

Also, I found and joined a website that I'm pretty excited about called Tapastic! SUCH A COOL WEBSITE I’m a little star struck. But hopefully posting my work there will be successful and someday someone there will love me for who I am -u-

So check it out if you'd like read my comics! I plan on updating at least once a week there with the Good MoeJo series :)
