Lady, maybe, or host? I find I really don’t mind.

I wasn’t feeling well, so I reread Ouran High School Host Club, then I felt like drawing this~
Seeing Haruhi made me wish my hair was short like that again aaa

Last year, a friend introduced me to DrawPile, a program where you can draw with your friends (or stream, through the program). I need to set it up better, but I just figured since I don’t have much I can post these days, I’d share some of the things I’ve drawn on there~

(They’re from late-2015 to early-2016, approximately oldest to newest)

Lots of fanart, but some originals too.
Towards the end I decided I didn’t feel like sketching, and just wanted to colour. Wasn’t easy, but it’s more comforting for me somehow~

Thanks for looking!!

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!!

Click here to visit the Melon Berry Tea donation page!

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!!

Art-related update: You can now see some progress I’ve made on the finished picture. It’s still unfinished, but click here if you’d like to see!.

Something a little more spring-y, I drew it at the same time as my “Dear Winter;” mori sketch I posted earlier. It was drawn with an ordinary pencil, but when I was editing it in Photoshop, I made it green and think it looks really nice.

Hmm, she reminds me of Homura (“Moemura” version…) from Madoka Magica, but there’s no connection. I just wanted to draw a mori girl with glasses I think. u_u lol

“Dear Winter”… get it? ‘Cause she’s a deer?
orz

Something I drew in December I believe? I’m not too sure, but it’s slightly more recent than some of my sketches lol. And yes, the branches were drawn on one side and copied/pasted to the other side. I had drawn them properly on both sides, but it became really dark and blurry in the scan, so I figured “meh, it’s just a sketch, I’ll just do a quick fix…”

Also, I thought we’d be free of hawks in the winter for some odd reason, but yesterday I saw a red tailed hawk in our backyard. Got a picture to help identify it/prove it was here but it’s not really good enough to upload. Hopefully this hawk doesn’t stick around long. :I

This is a mori fashion drawing I sketched back in August, when my obsession was really starting…
Hmmm not much else I can say at the moment, but thanks for looking! ^^

Lacey: *mumble mumble* Stupid game..! *mumble*
Erik: Laceyyy what are you doing up so late…!? We have an early start tomorrow…! ヾ(￣~￣;)ﾉ?
Lacey: …Ah! Erik! ((((；゜Д゜)))
Lacey: Uh.. shh, you’re just dreaming. I’m not still up playing video games. Go back to sleep. >_>
Erik: …How stupid do you think I am? （；¬＿¬)
Lacey: …
Lacey: Fine. I’ll to to bed…
Lacey: …right after I make it to the next save point… ﾍ(￣w￣;ﾍ)
Erik: Gyahh ( ｡-`д´-)o︵┻━┻

An old sketch of mine from June 2012, I found it tonight and figured with a little bit of fixing up, it would be blog worthy. ^^;;

Kind of weird that two posts in a row are technically about sleep but whatever.
Yay for Japanese emoticons! （*´▽｀*）.。ｏ♡

I hope everyone had a great weekend <3 - - - Artwork and characters (Erik, Lacey) © 2013 Sloan | designsbysloan.com Do not use without permission.

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!!

I did some sketching of my character, Lacey last night~ It’s been a while since I drew her like this I think. Maybe months? And even then, I can’t remember if it was toooottally like this. owo
I tried to make her a little more expressive than I usually do. _{You know. Like she’s supposed to be. OTL}

After listening to “Satellite” by Rise Against on the weekend, I’ve been rather inspired for Erik and Lacey’s story.

Thanks for looking! <3
