  1. Wow, great job! There's so much variety, so many different mediums and styles, that is really impressive that you can do so many different things, even prints!

    I particularly like your pencil sketches, like the "because we are knights" one on the first page, and your "serpent staircase" painting.

    I like to dabble in a variety of media because my art class gives me the freedom to do so, meaning I'm not limited to any particular medium when I work on personal projects!

    Thank you for your praise!

  2. OJ characters are a lot of fun to draw! I'm planning on doing more art of the many characters since the designs are pretty easy to translate into my own style and then color!

    also yeah Kao knows whats up. i love sham so much she's so fun to draw and is a lot of fun to play as ouo

  3. Seconding Thor; well-done! Having spoken of coloring, do you plan on doing digital color anytime soon?

    I do color digitally from time to time, though it's very rare for me to finish a piece because I get easily frustrated with the way my lines look and then become annoyed with the lack of obvious voice in my digital work when compared to my traditional pieces. I am, however, currently working on a digital piece that I hope to finish in the next day or two, so I'm hopeful!

  4. I was summoned by sounds of lobster and I am not disappointed. I really like how you drew his floofy hair. Makes me want to rustle it.

    I also like the way you color a lot. The way the colors blend look really nice.

    Thank you so much!

    I've been putting off drawing Ryouma for a while, so this was definitely a lot of fun to draw and color!

  5. Ahahaha I have like 13 pairs of shoes or more

    -two sneakers

    -three pairs of dress shoes

    -the best hiking boots ever

    -snowboots

    -three pairs of assorted boots

    -high heeled sneakers

    -three or so pairs of slip on or flip flop type shoes

    I use my hiking boots every day because they're comfortable and also entirely waterproof so I can wear them in the snow and rain if I want. I mostly wear my hiking boots and the slip on shoes when I walk my dog and I'm too lazy to wear socks.

  6. I really like the dynamic posing of the Dewott! From what I've seen you certainly excel at creating poses with an element of motion involved, which is really tricky to master! Keep up the great work~!

  7. Lips actually tend to be something of a difficulty for me, particularly the upper lip. The issue I always end up having is that when I'm drawing the upper lip, if I try to give it more detail it looks like the person is always wearing lipstick, which is not usually what I'm aiming for. The only way I've found to remedy this is to only include the upper lip detail when I color but I color only a fraction of my drawings so I dunno.

  8. Looking rather good, thus far : > What made you decide to include noses in your style, btw?

    I think that I ended up including noses in that art style due to forgetfulness actually! The original reasoning behind the particular stylistic choices of it was to be an intermediate between my 'usual' semi-realism style and my full on squishy faced chibis. However, over time I found it tedious to try and get the desired level of expression while drawing the more detailed eyes, so I began using less and less detail to accomplish that. Simultaneously, I began to forget that I was supposed to intentionally leave the noses out of the intermediate style. After a point, the two merged and I was happy because I could make hilariously expressive drawings with minimal effort on the eyes. Otherwise, I may have just decided somewhere along the way that the drawings looked a little janky without noses or this was around the time that I began drawing noses before drawing in the eyes.

  9. Aaaaaaaaaand I'm back with some more art updates hot diggety dog
    [spoiler=Mermaids and shit ahead]So I finished(?) the anglerfish ouo.

    The amount of gouache I brought home with me this weekend is astounding.

    Speaking of gouache, I'm switching mediums from colored pencil to mostly gouache/watercolor because colored pencil is not healthy on a piece this large.

    On a less lame note, I was paging through a bunch of my old sketchbooks and found the first evidence of my current art style and something i drew yesterday!

    My lines used to be ULTRA heavy duty. Also, noses didn't exist for this style two years ago.

    I was procrastinating on working on my sf scribbles submission so I drew Olivia in paint.
