Original

Untitled. Unnamed.

31 May 2017

Wow. It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve finished any original artworks… might’ve been sometime last year? I needed some new promotional materials though, and I can’t use fanart for that, so I drew my chickadee character for a change. ^^ (Poor girl still has no name…)

I’m pretty happy with how this turned out though.

Thanks for looking everyone!


Just a reminder, the Style!!! on ICE fanzine is still up for preorder, but there’s not many copies left (and some bundles sold out completely.) If you want a copy of your own, act fast!

Here’s a picture I drew of Gwin I drew this year. I’m currently using this as a facebook header, and various avatars across the web. It’ll also become my business card and website header when I get a chance…
So honestly, this is old artwork. And it’s kind of simple since it’s just a portrait of Gwin’s face. But I was really proud of how this turned out, so I wanted to post it as a proper artwork before 2016 ended.

Thanks for looking and Happy New Years! See you in 2017!

Autumn Trees

11 October 2015

Just a quick thing I did last night. I didn’t sketch out anything ahead of time, I just went with it.
I mainly wanted to capture the various colours of the trees with the sunset. For whatever reason the autumn trees have really got my interest this year, but I suppose they’re one of my favourite things about autumn – that, and the food. : D

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO THE CANADIANS OUT THERE~!
And thanks for following my work, no matter where in the world you are, and I hope each and every one of you have a wonderful weekend~ ^-^ (no matter how cheesy it sounds!!)


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.

Cute Animals – 2015 Button Set

1 April 2015

Continuation from last year’s mini buttons.
I included more farm animals (sheep, cow, chick) and another wild animal (owl), and added aquatic animals! :3

Most of these are actually new and drawn in Manga studio, except for the owl, which I drew at the exact same time as last year’s, but I decided at the time not to sell it. I decided to sell it this year, anyway~

My favourite are probably the chick and octopus!

Thanks for looking, and have a safe April Fools’ everyone! ;D

A-OK

15 November 2014

This is a doodle of a character from a story I’ve been playing around with. Poor girl has no name, but it’s hard finding a name that doesn’t start with R or C and doesn’t end with an “ee” sound (like… so many of my other characters UM). I’ll figure something out eventually. ouo

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!!

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!!

Artbook Preview: Melon Berry Tea

26 October 2014

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!

Thanks again everybody, and have an awesome weekend!!

Morning’s Light

5 October 2014

I felt inspired and motivated to draw an interior background after talking to sae-midori on deviantart. She suggested that instead of using perspective lines and such, focus on creating depth with colour/shading. So I tried it, and came up with this. /// Thank you so much sae-midori!! : D

I drew this a while back so I don’t remember what I wanted to say about this… e_e
It was drawn in Manga Studio. The only line art was on the character and objects on the shelf; the rest was painted/lineless. And for the subject, I was simply aiming for a sort of cute, mori girl feeling I guess. It was really hard to come up with a title, if somebody has a suggestion let me know. XD;;

Edit:// I just remembered that I had some issues with the pose, and ended up using stock by SenshiStock on dA to fix it.

Thanks for looking and have a great week everybody!!

Slade

29 August 2014

One day I was doodling my OC Slade, and then I wanted to test out the screentone options in Manga Studio. So I did. x’D
I don’t really have much to say today, but I’m looking forward to using screentones in the future. :la:

Thanks for looking everybody!
