To all who have visited this blog: THANK YOU!

 Salamat sa iyo!

Et cetera... ;D

I hope you will continue visiting this blog, and enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy creating it!

And as always:
I LOVE your comments!
Be it flame or praise, I'll take both! XD
(I actually greatly appreciate criticism-it helps me learn what areas are *cough* lacking in my art...)

AND

I LOVE your commissions!
It's (should be) really easy to commission me now that all you need to do is fill in a form...[LINK]

In this next year, I will be trying to work on/(greatly) improve my coloring skills and digital artwork. Maybe then I'll have some cooler stuff for you guys! (Or just some wonky pictures...*giggles nervously*... I seriously need to take an art class...;])

Anywho, Thank you to all who've stuck with me this far. I hope to continue to see you throughout this coming year!

*hugs*
HAPPY 2014 EVERYBODY!!!

Copic Markers

Wow. Three posts in one week! What has gotten into me? ;)

Anyway, for Christmas, I received a set of Copic Ciao markers. *squeals* So exciting!!! (For an artist...;]) I was trying them out today and after *ahem* quite a few practice "sessions", 

(Example:

Supposed to be Orihime from Bleach. Her mouth went wacky...)

 I created this little picture:

Isn't she adorable?!?

 XD 

Obviously, there is A LOT I need to work on. (Example: how to keep those colors from bleeding outside the lines!) But I think it's a decent beginning. It would be better if I had more colors... but Copics are quite the investment. O_O

This drawing is an original. Please do not use without permission. Thanks!

I will be posting an End-of-the-Year post for New Year's.

Until tomorrow!

My Grandpa

Hello again everyone,

And here I thought that the Holidays were going to be giving me a break... sheesh! 

This year, I wanted to make more of my gifts for my family. My Grandma also requested I draw her a picture for her gift. So, I drew her a portrait of my Grandpa, who passed away in 2007.

An early base sketch:

Creepy... I know...

Da finished picture:

The original:

Isn't he handsome? :)

I have to admit I am quite happy about it! ^_^ There are still quite a few areas I need to improve on, but I'm working on it.

Adios amigos!

Merry Christmas!!!

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

From yours truly's favourite white-topped dude.

Yay! Digital art! 

Though... I need to get a tablet that works with my manga software, this was done on my Dad's Samsung (using Microsoft One Note...). *Sigh* It's not the same... ;) 

Anyway.

Merry Christmas!!!
