Commission and Diagnosis!

I finally got the results from my blood work done a week or so ago, I've been officially diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. It's not a great thing to have naturally, but it's nice to finally put a name on all the stuff going on lately. The symptoms are exactly what I've been experiencing. So now I'll be starting to take some medication to correct the levels and in about six weeks return to get another blood test and see where that goes.

I won't beg again, but it'd be nice to take in some more commissions to kinda offset the cost of the doctor visits and prescriptions because it's hitting my account hard and I have a lot of bills to take care of. And since my birthday is officially in a month, I've been trying to save up to do something nice.

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing alright. You can check out my last commission in my gallery if you want to take a gander at what you can score :)

Fight for Your Life

Took long enough, but I finally finished this piece I've been working on for the last month or so. Comments are greatly appreciated (as well as commissions!)

Just thought Sariel needed to be even more badass...

On a Roll (At Least I Think So)

So I've really been concentrating on getting full pieces done lately. What with the stuff I posted last week and right now, I really think I'm getting better at this whole "art" thing. Still no commissions so I'm spending my free time with Jonathan Frakes watching Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction ,drawing my OCs, or with my boyfriend who is not Jonathan Frakes (but just as/even more awesome) :B Still no word on if I'm being laid off again, we'll find out once the tax deadline passes tomorrow.

Anyway, my crowning glories for the week! I've been working on the concept of a weird ass Aztec looking robot thing for years now, and I've finally colored a damn picture! Yay me! Anyway, feedback would be greatly appreciated as this is a new thing for me as to where my artwork is progressing.



And a piece that nearly brought me to tears illustrating it:


I wish I had more time to get the pages to their story out. It's killing me inside!

Well, that's all I've got for now. Commissions are always welcome!

HA! HA! Half a NSFW Post!

I said I'd be back, only I'm not as intimidating as 1980's Arnold Schwarzenegger. Anyway I felt productive this weekend and got a few pics done that I'm really happy with, one of which is *ahem* going back to Sariel and her questionable fashion sense.

The following pics were done with my new copic markers and some random touch ups with photoshop and a gelly pen :B

First up, something I'm really happy with because it hurt my hands so damn much.


Aaaaaaand Latex! (which I know NOW is such a bitch to render in markers)


Hope you all like these pieces! And here's hoping I can get some commissions soon! It'd really be great :D

Until next time!

Precious Marker Fumes...

So what little I had in commissions are actually out the door. Well just the one anyway, but I haven't posted some of them here until now. So I'm seriously open to have anything done now, but I'd prefer to get more commissions in if anyone wants to help me out a bit, gotta put that money into my bills.
Until that day comes I might go ahead and continue to do a bunch of cards with the intention of selling them, maybe even doing more of the Utena cards so I can make it an entire set.
Anyway, here are some things I finished recently (I noticed that this is the third blog post this week! I go twenty some odd days of busy busy and then BAM! Artwork!)

First off, a commissioned sketchcard for my bud Zoé of her character Isabelle Ta Kae:


Next, a two-part sketchcard commish for Claire of her characters!


And lastly a commissioned illustration piece for Jay of the 11th Doctor Matt Smith in an alternate costume he gave me the specs for.


Well, hopefully everyone is enjoying their weekend, I sure am! Just had a blast last night staying in and watching films and eating dinner with the bf :D :D Good times!

It's That Time of Year...

...I start cranking up The Carpenters Christmas albums and work myself into a stupor. So far it's been an enjoyable month, I don't sit near the radio at work listening to "other" Christmas music (I loathe) and things have been quite nice in my personal life as of late, couldn't be happier. Dating does that to people I guess :3

On the art front I finished laying out the thumbnail images to the first Adeline book, just getting them onto proper layout pages so I can have Leanne and Rod Hannah take a gander (because their input and suggestions are valuable nuggets I will not part with!). Maybe then I might post some teaser images here to show off and get motivated to start the actual pages! It's all falling into place mwahaha-- err *ahem*

Anyway now to the part you guys come here for, the art. I drew this piece for the annual holiday cards I send out to friends, family, and clients. Usually I do fanart but this year has been all about the OC's so I took Adeline out for a spin with some owls in tow. I'm really with how everything turned out!



Prismacolor markers on 11x17 Deleter comic art paper.

Anyway, I've got a few things lined up. I'll be working on a set of Shi cards for 5Finity Productions this month (well, as soon as I get the cards :D ) a commission I'm almost done coloring, and a Sariel piece that's almost done being colored as well. Other than that I could certainly use some commissions. I also added a "donate" button at the top of the blog for anyone willing to help a starving artist out. After this month I might being going back into panic mode as the job I'm at now will start layoffs soon and I don't have anything else lined up in the meantime.

But enough about that for now, think happy thoughts! (which reminds me... I need to do a Hook themed piece at some point)

Happy Holidays everyone!

One More Before You Bust a Gut...

Thought I'd get some more stuff up before a weekend of gluttony initiates! I've been meaning to post a Loki doodle I did for my sister Nicole. So there's that, and there's some sketches I did in my travel moleskine...

Also, I'm going to be pretty tight financially for awhile until my checks start to balance out (since they're all the size of my rent exactly). So I'll be taking on commissions if anyone is interested and I'll be coming up with some sketchcard sets to sell off as well.

Here's a scan of all the Grimm cards together! Just thought they looked pretty badass...


For the life of me I can't remember what I've posted! I'm just too lazy to double back and check :B But I can't wait to get a chance to finish this! Sariel loves her metal pussy *snerk*


And a Loki I doodled...


And lastly, some sketches of characters I haven't drawn in awhile. I'm totally bringing the half-robot boy back...


Let me know what you guys think! And have fun stuffing your faces tomorrow! I'm gonna see some horses!! :D

Another Sketchdump!

It's been awhile since I just threw a bunch of stuff around here with no reason whatsoever than to bug you all. But I completely forgot to post one of my commissions and some sketches I had been working on in King Moleskine.

I wish I had the time to draw more shit at work! lol

We'll start off with a new OC I started working on earlier last week. There's a possibility I might be using her for the Adeline story I'm working on. Thanks to my buddy Zoé Chamoux, she's got a name! From henceforth she'll be known as Mashreen!



Here's a lineup of a bunch of the girls I've drawn so far (need to add Mashreen in there at some point!). Love love LOVE Adeline's expression in this!


Here's a Black Orchid commission I did for Roy Johnson!


And lastly, a sketchcard I did of Adeline on my breaks at work.


Hope you all are doing well! Gonna be busy inscribing a metric shitload of holiday cards soon and making thumbs for my next official set of cards. But I'll still be open for any commissions if any of you should feel inclined to hit me up :D

And for those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, have a good one! I hope I can get some turkey and mash this year :D

Sketches on the Way!

I know it's been a little bit, and things have been pretty hectic on my end but I do have a TON of stuff I gotta scan and post here!
But I do have some great news! I got a gig doing a set of sketchcards for a pretty high profile set for 5Finity Productions (more info to come after October!), but all I can say is HOLY CRAP I DIDN'T HAVE TO BEG FOR A JOB! Secondly I will be starting to develop my OC Adeline's story for a webcomic type thingy, details are still being ironed out but it's already sounding like a badass project. Rod Hannah will be working with me to make Adeline's world a reality and it's gonna be awesome! I need to be able to beef up my sequential art portfolio so I'm excited!

Lastly, if you happen to be on Deviantart go and check out my new group dedicated to my OC's Of Fembots and Flappers! I'd love to see more people watch the group because who knows what I might post there and not here!

Anyway, time to get some work done and I'll be back in a bit to post some sketches!!

Back to the Regularly Scheduled Arts

Thought I should post some art up as I haven't posted anything outside of Leo's progress for awhile (though I will continue to update that entry with info as it comes in, and any artwork for his contributors).
I have a few things to go up (and few that'll have to wait until after the weekend).
First are some art trades I did early last week for a few friends of mine :D


And a tattoo commission I received:


I had a sheet of doodles I did to mock Rob Liefeld, but I don't want anyone to think I actually drew it seriously :B

A Few Gals and a Batwoman

I know it's been a few days, the time between posts are getting a little bit longer it seems. But I've got some nice colored goodness to share!

I colored the Batwoman I sketch I did in my moleskine awhile back. I'm thrilled with the colors on it. Gonna keep practicing some new ways to render stuff with my markers...


Next I have a pic I drew for a friend of mine on Deviantart who drew Sariel some time ago. I hope he likes it!


Lastly a few gorgeous gals I just finished sketching and inking today. I might be bringing them back every now and again because they turned out so well.
