goofs and shenanigans

some finished stuff this week WOO!! mostly animal crossing drawings since i've been having a nice time playing <:")

lately i've been trying to get better at coloring and depicting mood! it's....tough....i like drawing backgrounds (really goofy ones!!) and i like coloring, but i find having to do both unpleasant;; but more of a reason to get better at it i guess!!

below is the .PSD + hi-res for the last pic and i've also included the brush i used for the animal crossing inks cau...

late post!

yeesh, i was working and before i knew it, it was midnight!! sorry folks!!

this week i have a bit of a mixed bag of stuff to share!! including a tiny peek at a series of posters i wanna do for demon slayer! i'm trying to keep it one poster for each arc, but i have so many ideas and things i wanna draw it's driving me nuts!! i'll probably turn the first one into an 11x17 print for fun and use the second one for the series of posters. i can't wait for the movie...i hope october comes soon...

(hands you some sketches)

it's sunday yet again! this week was kinda slow on the art front, but i do have some sketches for you all! you'd think being quarantined would really get the creative juices flowing, but it's tough finding the motivation.... at least i have video games i guess...

i've been having a real fun time with animal crossing so i drew my island lineup!! marzipan is the cutest island in the business!! and we're only gonna get cuter!!!!!! 

i'm gonna try and finish these up soon!! thank ...

happy sunday!

happy sunday everyone!! this week i have a nice collection of goodies!!
first three drawings are some story development stuff. i already have a pretty good idea of how i want everyone to look, but it doesn't hurt to play around with appearances! it's good to have some variety and more options to choose from ^^
the rest of these drawings are just various fanarts from this week~

hi-res as well as a .PSD for the crane game pic, and the .clip for the gif are below! as well as some o...

Running Out Of Titles

Some finished stuff! I'm pretty sure i've posted snake boy here before, but I wanted to try redoing it in procreate! I've been trying really hard to get the hang of coloring in procreate but at the moment it seems like i'm just gonna keep using it for inking...

The Mui's were inked in procreate so i've attached the timelapse for that if you wanna take a peek! My inking process is just hitting undo 50 million times and hoping I get it right eventually LOL

Playing with Procreate

Happy Sunday everyone!!!! For this weeks post I’ve decided to upload some pieces I’ve done while trying to get used to procreate and drawing on the iPad in general!! 

I pretty much exclusively used the amazing Hamtarto’s brushes for all of these because they are KILLER. If you’re in the market for good brushes I super rec these.

Additionally, I also have some cool news...

Woo Yeah Woo Yeah

another little step-by-step for you guys!! a lot of people seemed to like the last one which makes me really happy!! i also have some more color comps for you guys to look at. i already chose which one i'm gonna go with, but they're all pretty strong imo!

the .PSD +hi-res are below!

original inks!! and other things

i've been thinking a lot about my little weird monster family so i inked a few drawings i've done of them! i don't think i've quite reached their final designs yet, but i think i'm close!!! they have names now too! the girl is louisa (but her nicknames are 'lou' and 'louie'), the vampire is percival and the fuzzy monster is reuben!! 

the last three sketches are some viola expressions i did awhile back, some rose of versailles fanart from last year and a cute zenitsu doodle i found ...

ssssstuff

i have some..interesting? stuff for you guys this week!! nothing fully finished because i've been keeping busy (blegh), but i have some smaller things to show off! 

the first pic was actually a file i found on my ipad! i completely forgot about it. just some fun poses of my oc, viola! she has a tricky design so i wanted to see how i could pull off fun action poses. i'd like to touch these up because some are a little stiffer than i'd like, but i think they're still pretty cute!!!&n...

whoooooosh

sorry for the late post! this week was tough because i just didn't have any time to draw anything really! i've been doing some secret stuff which has been keeping me busy and that's been eating up most of my time. i really wanted to push something out though so take this!

i also put together a little step by step at my process to kind of make up for the late post hehehe;;; sorry in advance for any typos! hopefully next week i'll have more stuff to upload!

hi-res for the final pic ...

some finished stuff! i've been on a roll lately and i'm trying really really hard not to let it die LOL i've finally found time to finish up things i've had lying around for the longest time!! i'm glad because i have like...the longest backlog of sketches;;;; 

the first two pics are the result of me experimenting more with colors. i tend to rely a lot on gradient maps when i work and i wanted to see if i could pick palettes that w...

HEY!!! here's a dump for you all <:") i've been doing zine stuff and some other freelance things so i haven't had a lot of time to finish anything new lately, but i'm working on it!! 

the last three pics are actually snippets of some zine stuff! :D including a cover i got to do ;__; i've never done a cover for a zine before so i was really jazzed when i got asked!! hopefully more about that will be available soon!!! it's probably one of the coolest zines i've been a part of!!!&n...

First Post Of 2020!

WOW 2020 IS HERE!!! YAAAAAAY!! i'm excited to see what this year will bring and what art i'll create! *__* so many things can happen! let's hope they're all good things!

this time i bring you a collection of finished stuff! in 2020 i want to try experimenting a bit more with rendering. i don't really like shading because i tend to overdo it and i find it just doing look appealing when i do it. i quite like these though! still a bit to go, but i'll keep trying!

Goodies

Howdy!!! I got a couple of goodies this time around! Two whole speed paints, One finished pic, and a bunch of (in my humble opinion, very nice) sketches!

I’m still not 100% sold on the iPad so far, but I also don’t have Paperlike yet and I hear that makes a huuuuge difference so I’m eagerly waiting!! I dont think it‘ll ever REALLY replace my intuos, I just love my dumb drawpile brushes too much!!!

Anyway, with 2019 coming to a close I’m not really sure how I feel about...

Oh boy I hope this works

December hasn’t been very kind to me for multiple reasons but a highlight of this month has been the fact I finally got an iPad Pro!!! it came last week and I’ve been trying to get used to drawing on it. It’s my first screen tablet if any kind so it’s been really weird getting used to it but I’m looking forward what this bad boy is capable of. It couldn’t have come at a better time honestly. Since my dog is recovering from surgery, ive had to stay cl...

Scraps and WIPs

long time no post! i've been so worn out from anyc prep i really haven't had the energy to finish nicer illustrations, but i do have some cool sketches! including some scrapped print ideas i might save for my next con!!

Happy Halloween!

well it's nov 1st here now so

here's some finished stuff!! a nice halloween pic, some stickers (i think), and i never uploaded the finished versions of those zenitsus from last post (sorryyyyy i didn't wanna spam any emailsssss). 

the middle four i created with the intention of being stickers, but whether or not they'll be here for animenyc is anyone's guess. i really like them though!! i wanted to do some goofy pics cause i feel like it's more on brand with my art haha

a dump of sorts

helloOoOOoO!!! here's what i've been up to lately!! 

i'm pretty sure i'm done with all my animenyc merch, so i've just been having a good time relaxing and doodling. for the last two years i've been scrambling up until the end, so i feel a little weird not doing anything LOL so i keep having this weird nagging feeling i should be doing more o(-(

the first pic has been a rollercoaster of emotions because, like most of the things i do apparently, i had absolutely no clue what t...

Pillar Print

i believe this might be my final kny print (maybe even final print in general) for animenyc2019! i'm really fond of how it turned out, it was really tricky but really worth it in the end. ;__;

i showed off the sketch on here awhile back  and aside from some tweaking/placement changes it pretty much stayed the same! originally i wanted to keep it very simple and try single colors for each box/hashira and strong inks with some screentone. kinda like an official print you might see in...

The LUUUUV Pillar

hello! i've been in a pretty nasty art rut lately and it's been super frustrating!! i think i'm slowly coming out of it though...! at least i hope so!

in the mean time take some finished stuff! i wanted to try to draw something with a more visually interesting composition. i'm still not really sure how i feel about it but progress is progress. <:') 

the other pic is a KNY spoiler and i don't really like it too much...i'll keep it for patron eyes only in the meantime. ...

i'm so happy i finished the first pic(and it came out good!)! i LOVED the sketch and was worried about finishing it cause i was worried i'd ruin it :"D

the second one is a scrapped drawing i'd like to revisit at some point <:") i ended up rushing it a bit and it has a lot of problems o(-( oh well...i'll do better next time!

i didn't want to include it in the image lineup but you_take_the_moon_and_you_take_the_sun.png is a pretty spoiler-y pic for the kny manga so if you're not ...

Other Finished Stuff

here's some other finished stuff i did before i finished that print. the first one is supposed to be a print, but i feel like it's kinda boring LOL i have another one i'm playing with so hopefully that one will replace this one ^^ i might actually redo it...i've been on a lineless kick and those lines were experimental.

second one is just fanart i've been itching to do LOL i like gyomei's design a lot and i wanted to try my hand at it sooooo bad

The First Kimetsu Print

Woohoo! 

i'm very pleased with this print! i think it came out so good!! there are things i'm not 100% COMPLETELY on board with, but i feel like if i keep prodding and poking at it, i'll just end up hating it. besides, the positive emotions outweigh the negative and that's GOOD ENUFF FOR ME!

the third picture was the first pass and as you can see....it's pretty ugly LOL. i still tried to make it work (4th picture) but in the end i just ended up hating it and it's (many many m...

sketches ^^

sketches from the last few days! a mash up of original and fanart! wow!

below i've also attached an alternate sketchpage! they're separated because the alt one has what could be considered kny spoilers and i cut out the two on the last because one is kimetsu no yaiba manga spoilers and the other sketch has very slight nudity (it's a butt haha). i'd figure i'd just have two versions in case people aren't cool with that(i totally understand!)
