I’m moving into my first apartment this weekend. I’m not sure how long it’ll take me to unpack, but hopefully I’ll be able to get back to doing art things very soon. C:

“The poor, poor Princess of the Sea Kingdom.
Who’d ever want to become an ugly woman like her?”

I tried my hand at doodling Diana, from Rule of Rose. She’s a peach. :’D

My mom asked me to make a quick logo for her novel’s group of sneaky covert operatives, so I decided to give it a try! I’m a sucker for crows.

Part of a finished piece, inspired by Macklemore’s Ten Thousand Hours.

I think my pen collection is only rivaled by my nail polish collection.

In no particular order, here are some silly doodles from the last Scriblink fiesta I had with Red.

Here’s another MSJ commission, made for a story about clever ways to ditch your husband-to-be (though glowing slug-things were definitely involved). I’m not sure what color they were supposed to be, but I at least took a stab at their mysterious rainbow slime trails.

I haven’t done any art that hasn’t been commission-related in several months; I feel really rusty. So I picked up my art challenge from where I left off—this doodle is from Day 11, taking someone else’s style and trying to emulate it.

I’m a huge fan of elfandiary’s work; he draws lots of pretty girls with gorgeous lines and these big, bold ribbons of color. Just thought I’d give something similar a quick try.

My favourite tragic love story is that of an artist and their art

Hey kids, got a bunch of crayons laying around, sitting spitefully unused because you’re busy playing with pens and watercolors and shit? Melt those fuckers down in a silicone container of some kind (some silicone cooking trays come in adorable shapes, like hearts and stars) to make some of the coolest gradient crayons ever.

Every recipe I’ve ever seen has told me to melt them in the oven for like, ten minutes, but I’m impatient and like danger, so I melted them in my microwave instead. One minute intervals, usually four times to really get everything melted.

If you live in a house with other people, please make sure that they are willing to smell the waxy scent of childhood before you start. Because they take a while to cool, man, and that crayola scent will drift all over your kitchen.

So Redpyre and I have been looking through old art to embarrass ourselves with, and I found a couple of old chibis I made for an old Exalted game. How cute!

Here’s another commissioned illustration for MSJ. This was a story about a mysterious egg from another dimension that can bend space and time! Spiffy.
