Whoah! Things Are Moving Fast!

Hey guys (those that remain!), it's been awhile since I've been able to update here. Things have been getting pretty hectic in these parts, work is getting more and more difficult (but I still have a job so I'm keeping my fingers crossed), the relationship with the bf is getting better and better which makes me very happy, and artwork (while slow in the making) is getting to the point where I finally feel like I've hit a stride.

I've posted quite a few things to my Deviantart page as of late. Including one very awesome full color Adeline piece. At some point soon I'll try to get things up here. Until then, stay frosty!

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 :)

Doctor Who Sketchcards

Hey all! Been pretty busy as of late, training for more stuff at work and working on my ONE commission (c'mon guys give me some credit).

Anyway I started working on some Doctor Who sketchcards to generate interest since original works don't seem to cut it. Here are the first four (I have about six in the wings waiting to be colored). You can take the link back to my Deviantart page to see a bigger image. I will be selling them if anyone is interested.

In other news, I started penciling my book. I'm hoping to get enough done to start inking it :D

Well that's it out of me for now, if anyone wants to commission me, you know where to find me!

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...

Commissions Most Welcome

Hi guys! It's been awhile and I am working on a pic I plan to have finished soon (it's too damn complicated). But with money issues piling up it'd be nice to get some commissions in to get me some financial breathing room.

I've expressed my concern about why I haven't had anyone asking for anything when it seems people flock to pay for work from artists living in their parents basement begging for money to pay for a new game console or as an excuse to not get a real job to supplement income.

I (like many artists) have to bust our collective asses working at jobs that kill our will to live and to keep a roof over our heads (work for the Tax dept for crissake), it'd be nice to work on things that give us pleasure to help pay for those much needed resources. I'm not complaining, but lately it's been nagging me. I think I'm a pretty good artist, but it's like no one ever asks me for work no matter how much I try to get my info out there.

If anyone still reads this blog, I hope some of you are looking for a nice piece of art for their place lol And if by any chance someone wants to commission me, please hit me up. I accept paypal, e-mail me or message me with your ideas.

Hope to get some money raised to keep that electricity flowing in the apartment...

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!
