Just practicing.

Slowly Moving

Part from an art trade with my best friend. The art trade is already done but I wanted to see if I can anything else with one of the characters from that. I'll let you know when I have the slightest idea of what to do. I'm terrible with backgrounds. Speaking of which....

I'm pretty rusty but that what happens when you don't practice for months. Anyway, this is Alicia, I think, from Flor Salvaje. Actually, I don't know much about the show or character. I just happen to see a few shot when visiting my grandmother.

The character is pretty stiff, colors look kind of dull, lack of details and the background is uninteresting. I really don't want to consider this done but I need a break from this, not from frustration with the image but rather that I don't want to deal with something for a long term. I hope I can give it a better in the future.

Also, I'm open for commissions! If you're interested, feel free to contact me. Especially if you have any questions.

Digging through folders

Originally was done for my birthday but I just interest too quickly. I ended up scraping the other characters and try to work on this one. Maybe someday, I'll finish this.

Commissions!

Last Two with Commission Info.

OK, last two for tonight! I promise! (Also, my Internet hiccuped. I can't remember what I was typing.)

Anyway, this first one was, again, was another attempt at a speed run. Nothing really special about these two. However, it was very fun to experiment with the colors and not too bad overall.


Another speed paint. However, I wanted a "bigger picture" so to speak. About half way through, I started to lose interest in the ideas for this. After a while, I kind of gave up and made a more monochrome feel to it. Well, sort of. Simple but I see a lot more mistake then the first one.

OK, last message for tonight. Without going into too much details, I'm basically a college student who has come across a bump on the road. I've gotten short on finances. This also touches into my self-confidence with my art.

For a long I have felt that I still had I long way to go before I can open commissions. While I'm still very nervous about this but I need to take a step forward. (An awkward step to the future.) Now, I have fallen a hard times and I need a little of help. I just want to open up like five dollar sketches or ten/fifteen dollar quick renders (such as above).

You don't have to but I very much appreciate the help! I just need to work out the details and I'll post the information on DA and my Livejournal.

(My zazzle store is pretty much a foot of dust. What's worse is that I can't understand it anymore.)

Two Lovely Ladies

This was one was fun to do. What started out a simple speed run, turned out a complex image. Well, I say 'complex' but I really mean is that the logic I have. If I more relaxed and have consideration for logic and gravity, the more I enjoy working on the image. I do like this very much as long I don't think about it too much.

Also, this was a chance to use a character I have pretty much in the closet. I have her outdated character chart uploaded here.

This was my submission for an online magazine, Glacee. However, I haven't heard anything from them nor have they updated for a few months. I'm not sure if it still going or I wasn't accepted. I'm not even sure if I should be uploading this.

This was originally was made for a friend as a tutorial. Well, sort of. I'm terrible at explaining anything. I rather grew fond of it after I was done and decided to color all of it. This was also an attempted to try out some Classical Lolita elements. I honestly forgot about the background towards the end and made it up as I went along.

Also, explains why she doesn't have legs. I didn't know until I thought I was done.

Watch the tutorial over here. No audio. I never said I was the best.

Back and some fanart

Whoa! How long has it been since I last logged in? I do apologize for that. Just life, college got in the way. As a result as well, I don't have that much art pieces to show.

Anyway to the fanart, this was something I just wanted to get out. Also, I just wanted a new wallpaper for myself. Looking at it, the whole image is kind of sort stiff or a little bland. I tried to mix a little bit of the Lolita fashion and hime gyaru (Hime Lolita?). However, as you see, I just couldn't pull it off for one reason or another.

Pretty simple overall.

I don't think I ever uploaded the original of this. This one is just recolored since I thought the original was pretty bad. I was mostly taking a risk of using the watercolors without testing them first. Yeah, not much else.

Overdue

I finally managed to finish this. I had spent may days trying to think of what I wanted to do with it. After a few minutes of fixing colors, I would close the document. There were many times where I just wanted to scrap and forget about it. The compass didn't come out the way I wanted but oh well.


Not too long ago, I received this in the mail. : D

Valentine Images

Fairly quick doodles that are just in time for Valentine's Day! Oh, OK. I finished them earlier but I finally uploaded them! The pink wasn't originally related to Valentine's Day. I was just going for a certain color scheme then I turned it to a Valentine card. The purple is it's counterpart.

Valentine Card

A second version of Valentine cards I was doing. I already sent out one card to my friends.

New Projects

Current works in progress. I think I'm missing a few more but I haven't looked.

Girl in Vines

Yay! I got this done. I couldn't decided if I wanted textures on the image or not for a while. I went with textures for a more interesting look.

Vines

Not sure what I'm doing here.

Dreamy Rabbit

It came to me in a dream. I'm surprised I still remember it when I woke up.

Morning Doodle

A quick doodle before I head to work. I might finish later.
