Inktober 2017 – Day 26: Brave the Cold

26 October 2017

It snowed here last night (and could easily be sticking around) so here’s my old original character Slade in a snowy birch forest!
I thought she’d make a nice topic for an Inktober day for me, and I wanted to try drawing birch trees because they’re black and white~

Inktober 2017 – Day 20: Star Shower

20 October 2017

Something more cute to balance yesterday’s angsty picture!
I was a little inspired by the meteor shower that’s supposed to happen tonight. Plus, I’ve been wanting to try using washi tape to create a pleated skirt for a while now, so I combined the ideas~
Turned out a little weird but I also like it, so yeah. //shrugs

Inktober 2017 – Day 12: Sweet Tooth

12 October 2017

A random character. I wanted to continue with the Halloween aesthetic. ^^
I used washi tape on her sweater!

Inktober 2017 – Day 11: Spooky Style

12 October 2017

My OC Gwin, wearing some casual Halloween fashion!

Finished this late last night, but I wasn’t feeling up to scanning it right then.
So I’m posting it this morning instead. ^^;

Inktober 2017 – Day 9: Giving Thanks

11 October 2017

Inktober day 9! Drew myself with a pumpkin, wearing a flower crown my friend made for me.
I used browns and oranges because I wanted a warm/autumn feeling. This scan is a LOT more accurate than the photo I posted on fb.

I hope all my fellow Canadians had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
(And that everyone had a good day in general!!)

Inktober 2017 – Day 8: Willow

11 October 2017

Posting days 8-10 rather late!
I hit some snags with technology, and Canadian Thanksgiving happened, so I wasn’t able to scan those illustrations until today (I did however, post photo updates on my FB).

Anyways, here’s my character Willow, dressed for a chilly autumn day!
It’s a little different from the photo I posted on Facebook, because I decided to add some stuff shortly after posting it. Oops.

Inktober 2017 – Day 4: Reach

4 October 2017

World building/concept for my original character, Reese!

When I started working this morning, I decided to draw something simple, since I’ve drawn really detailed things for the past three days. But somehow, I got the idea for this and… went through with it… meep.

Inktober 2017 – Day 1: Autumn Crows

1 October 2017

HAPPY OCTOBER!!

Ever since Ai-kon, I’ve been quiet due to various personal reasons since Ai-kon. However, I’m planning on becoming active again… and what better way to start then my very first Inktober?

I’ve opted to not use a prompt list and just draw whatever comes to mind. I’ve been wanting to draw something with yellow leaves and black crows for a while now, so I finally took the chance. I might draw this aesthetic more at a later date though~
Not sure if I’ll be using colour every time, or if I’ll be posting these every day or every few days in bulk.

STARRY-EYED GIRL

6 July 2017

I originally created this concept early this year, for a glasses-themed contest. I realized that with my schedule at the time I wouldn’t be able to submit it. So, the sketch sat on my computer until maybe a month ago when I was able to finish it more casually. ^^

It’s part of my print line-up for Ai-kon in two weeks. Still so much to do, but overall we’re doing good and really looking forward to the convention this year!! :O

Small Wonders

20 June 2017

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


(I technically posted detail shots before, but I thought it’d be nice to have them with the artwork.)

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!
