Finally posting my piece for the Style!!! on ICE fanbook!! It was a pleasure being a part of this project! Thank you to the coordinators for this opportunity and to everyone else who supported the book.
I’m planning on drawing YOI fanart for inktober today, so stay tuned~!
Happy summer everyone~!!
This artwork was originally drawn for somebody else’s artbook project in 2014. Years have past and the project was never completed, so it’s probably safe to post publicly now.
I definitely see some things in this artwork that I would do differently now, I still put hours upon hours into this piece and I’m really proud of it. It was inspired by my love of faeries, and nature I remember from my childhood, so it means a lot to me that way too~ x3
The project included a fundraising for the artists participating – I was raising money towards my education. So, I want to say thank you again to everyone who offered their support – be it kind words, or donations. It meant the world to me, and it still does.
You’re all the best and I hope everyone has a great summer!
…
On another note, it’s about one month until Ai-kon! It’s July 21-23. My mom, sister and I will be selling our artwork and plushies in the marketplace again this year. We’re really excited to be back!
Hey everyone! I’m super excited to announce that I’ll have a picture in the Style on Ice!!! fanbook!
There’s over 50 artists participating in the project, drawing the Yuri on Ice cast wearing various fashions from around the world (and even different time periods)! It’s really cool and everyone’s drawn a lot of unique and beautiful artworks.
Mori is still one of my favourite fashions, so I opted to draw Yuri Katsuki wearing it (though it might’ve just turned vintage-quirky-cute).
Overall I put a lot of hours into it and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. You can’t really tell from the preview, but I drew a background and lots of details. *_*;;
Preorders open on May 20th at 12 PM GMT-3, so mark your calendars! There’s a couple different bundles with extra merch by the artists too.
And please be sure to check out the website, where they answer questions, have information regarding prices/content, more artists’s previews, etc.
Thanks for looking!
Hello everybody! Having a good weekend? : )
I’m finally finished my art book picture for Melon Berry Tea: Summer Showers, so here’s the final preview of it! I had some trouble with it, but overall I really like how it turned out. <333 This was my sketch and this was my line art/base colours.
I have reached the top tier for donations, so I’ll be making a tutorial/walkthrough for the book, as well as a personal page and bookmark! Yaaay!! :D
I still have quite a ways to go until I finish saving up for my post-secondary education, but thank you to all that have donated and offered support so far! I had no idea that I’d get so much support through this, it’s overwhelming in the best way possible. THANK YOU! *hugs* ♥ ♥ ♥
I may have reached the top goal for the project, but like I said before, I still have a ways to go until I reach my own goal of paying for my post-secondary education. I’m actually hoping to save up for it completely before attending, so that I don’t have to pay student loans. I’m not the only one that needs donations, either – other artists participating could use the help too!
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!
For more information, please read my post about the book here!
Hey everybody, how are you? :D
I’d like to announce that I’ve been given the opportunity to participate in whispwill’s
Melon Berry Tea “Summer Showers” art book, and this is the coloured sketch I drew for the book!! It’s inspired by my love for faeries and some nature I was familiar with in my childhood. <3
The donation page is now live, so if you could check it out and possibly donate I would greatly appreciate it!!
Want to learn more? Read below!
Melon Berry Tea is an annual art book hosted and produced by Whispwill. All the money that’s donated goes directly towards the artists that drew the artwork for said book. There’s nothing received for donating to an artist, but it’s an easy way to offer support to your favourite artist or up-and-coming artists, as there is no minimum or maximum amount you must donate. The donation period started on July 27th 2014 and lasts until October 31st 2014 to donate. After that the artbook will be prepared for printing so that it can be bought!
As the donation page says, there is a tier for each artist. I suppose the main goal would be to earn $100. This basically covers the cost of making the full page illustration each artist does.
Once an artist reached $120, they get a personal page about them in the artbook. If they reach $200, they can create a clear plastic card to be released with the book (limited edition version?). If they reach $250, they will be asked to draw a tutorial/walkthrough to be put in the book!
And like I said on the donation page, I will be putting any funding I receive towards post-secondary education, specifically business courses, so that I can learn how to run a business selling my artwork. Many people can rely on jobs like working at a fast food restaurant to pay for their groceries and bills. But due to my health, I wouldn’t be able to get a job like that, no matter how much I wanted OR needed to. Since I can’t rely on finding jobs that won’t make me sick, I’m going to make one, and business courses will surely help with that!
If you happen to be interested in helping me out, my artwork is currently in the second row (the faerie/pond) listed underneath the name “Sloan”. Just mouse over the artwork and you can donate!
Thanks for reading, and have a great day!!
