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!

Kalos

Because Chespin should have some kicking moves with those adorable little feet!

I remember trying so hard to find the right pose for Fennekin.

I really like how Froakie turned out. the bubbles were definitely the hardest but most rewarding part

HELLO, I AM FINALLY POSTING THESE!

These three. Even though upon seeing the new starters to each generation made me cringe with discomfort, when I saw these three I felt like it was different. Like there was actually a sense of quality that went into their design and type match up. It was a whole new generation of pokemon and I actually liked it.

Because, seriously, Fighting/Grass is SO COOL! Breloom has always been a favorite!

*computer voice* GAM CON COMPLETE

It is DONE FOLKS. It's over! And it was AMAZING! The people in Vernal UT really came out of the woodworks to come and partake of GAM Con! I can't believe how successful it was! Hooray!

Thanks to everyone who came to visit me and talk! It was super fun getting to know the local artist/nerd/gammer/furry community. I had no idea you were out there! haha

And now, pictures to flood your life with. :)

A WIP!

All of the random doodles that I did throughout the day. Thanks to Frost and his friends for chatting with me for so long! It was so awesome to meet you!

Comics!

So I was laying on my sisters air mattress a few days ago, thoroughly enjoying the crisp, spring Arizona air, thinking to myself how lovely April is in the desert...

April... right? Yeah. April.

But April is almost over, isn't it? That's right, wow I almost forgot. Where does the time go? I can't believe April is almost over.

wait
...
APRIL IS ALMOST OVER???

I am two comics, and two portraits behind on commissions, and I promised I would finish those before May. And that's... *checks calendar* ...tomorrow...

First rule as an artist: 1. DON'T PROCRASTINATE JUST DON'T DO IT GUYS

I went to AkwardZombie for inspiration in these comics. I just adore her style and humor and someday I will be like her... sigh

In other news, I taught a class at the AHA charter school on Wednesday. It was an Art Day, and I taught Comics and Paneling. I feel like after teaching that class my comics have improved... Like, from not drawing them anymore to drawing them all the time now. IMPROVEMENT!

Dragon Age is a fun game but I can't afford to take up another addiction, so there's that

D&D Fun times! As seen in my last post, Orianna got a new outfit. And I suppose so did Gwar...Cat-Like reflexes, that one!
