This morning I watched a livestream of my favourite webcomic, Grey Is… and drew fanart of the main characters! ♥ I’ll assure you, I was happier than White is in this picture when watching haha. He must have a headache. :(

If you haven’t read the webcomic yet, I REALLY recommend it. While it covers many sensitive topics, they are handled so well, and there’s just the right amount of comedy to balance the darkness too (though don’t get me wrong, there’s SO MANY FEELS.)
And don’t even get me started on the beautiful art!! *_*

A devID I made for my sister, Siobhan~
It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. The hardest part was probably figuring out the frame/background… o_O

IMPORTANT: My friends lost their dream home to a fire last April. Please take a minute to view their GoFundMe as they’re looking to rebuild. Donations to them are appreciated, but if you can’t, please share the link anywhere you can. Thank you. I also posted about this on Facebook with more info.

I tried to make it look like those antique photographs, except in colour~

I’m participating in the Melon Berry Tea 2015 Artbook!

Melon Berry Tea is an artbook dedicated to artists, so that fans can donate and artists can earn money to put towards whatever it is they need (I’m putting any donations I receive towards post-secondary education). You can donate here!

I may have reached the top tier (Now I’ll be making a walkthrough for the artbook!), but I still have a ways to go until I cover my education costs! I’m planning to cover my costs before I attend, so that there’s no student loans.
The deadline for donating has been moved from end of October to sometime in January, but a lot of artists could still use a boost! Any donation, be it $2, $10 or $50 can really make a difference. Can’t donate? Advertising the artbook is a great help too!

Want more info? Click here for more information about the book, why you should donate and a sketch preview of my artbook entry. You can also click here for a cleaned up preview of my entry.

Thanks in advance!!

Here’s a picture I drew for dee Juusan’s birthday last month!

The characters, Black and White, are from her manga Grey Is…, which you can read on the Grey Is website and on Ink Blazers!

It’s hard to describe how much I love her comic and how much I look up to her.
In my eyes, her comic is the definition of high quality art and storytelling, and it just keeps getting better and better!
I definitely recommend reading her manga, it’s one of my favourites (I’d even say it’s up there with Fullmetal Alchemist). *_*

Even though I was really busy with exams and such (you can read about that here), I’m glad that I finally got a chance to draw her some well deserved fan art… though I’m sure it’s the first of many. x3

I am SO thrilled that you liked the gift dee, and keep up the amazing work!! <3 And to everybody else, thanks for looking!! –

My sister’s ghost character, Cassie; I drew her as a stress reliever last night.
She’s annoyed because somebody’s ignoring her. ovo Which happens often, considering she’s a ghost…

In this picture (which is really just a concept), she’s changed a bit since the last time I posted a picture of her (in 2009, gasp! You can see it here.) she has less wavy hair and more insanely curly hair. She’s also a little bit older than she looks (and by that I mean physically, not chronologically, though she’s still older for both). I guess I might’ve made her look a bit too lively, but she actually has a lively personality, so I don’t know. Maybe it suits?

Okay I gotta go get breakfast. Thanks for looking! -u-

Eep, long time no post. I intended to start posting art again sooner, but it’s a habit I’ll need to force myself into again.

I have one picture that I’m technically almost done that I should be uploading soon, and another that I’m working on (however, you guys won’t see it until it’s closer to Halloween). I had another one I wanted to work on too but I’m not in a rush to get to it because it has a guitar in it… =_=;;;

Anyways, I don’t know when these sketches were done, but they’re of my sister’s characters, Zeb (left) and Misery/Miz (right).

…I’m starting to feel yucky so I’m gonna go now. (;´Д`) Thanks for looking!!

Happy birthday Tori!
It’s her character, Raven, from her and Kagomekylah’s webcomic, High School’s a Nightmare. c: She’s on a swing~

I drew and coloured this in ArtRage Studio Pro too, using the watercolour brush and some other tools. I wanted to try and use the colours more like you would acrylic, so they’d be brighter, darker, and less pale. c: I don’t know how well I succeeded. I need more practice~ ;o; I also struggled because for my picture before, all the colours for the characters were pretty much set, I didn’t need to decide much beside the shading and background. But this one, I had to choose each colour, and it’s a bit harder to go back and edit one specific colour in ArtRage than Photoshop. Oh well!

ANYWAYS, I’m so glad you like it Tori <33333 Thank you for being so awesome! High School's a Nightmare © Chibiaotori and Kagomekylah

More catch-up art, this time it’s for Allycat, because she won Tori’s HSAN Halloween contest! : D This is my prize for her~~

Fun fact… this is the first headshot style picture I’ve done of somebody’s original character. All the others are fanart so far (oops?).

This is Puddle-chan’s character, Fudge! *-* I thought she was so adorable, I’m glad I got a chance to draw her. …I hope you don’t mind how moe she turned out though OTL

I based her mouth off of a bjd I saw online sometime. While drawing her, I couldn’t remember which she was. After I remembered, and it’s a little like the LE Volks Renee.. ;v; I can’t remember too well though

oAo We’ve actually had a huge rabbit hang around our back yard since Christmas. And by huge I mean huge. It’s like as big as my sister’s dog, Sadie, and she’s… not a huge dog but she’s not toy-sized… @_@;;

Thank you for the art trade Jas, and I hope you like it <333!! Character/design © Puddle-chan’s

For Firefly276’s mascot contest! : D This is her store’s mascot, Keika. She’s saying hello to a Luna Moth~

There was a point with this where I wanted to stop, and redo the shading, but I decided to keep on going. I’m glad I did, because Keika was a pleasure to draw once I continued.

Also I hope you don’t mind that she ended up being with a moth. As you know, I originally planned for her to be with a butterfly, but afterward I realized that a moth would make more sense, with it being night and all… X_x
I didn’t think this moth looked as ugly as most moths though, especially from the top, so I hope it’s okay.
_{Though I probably should have spent more time on the moth.. hmm.}

Thanks for looking~
