I may or may not be obsessed with '50s D.Va...

Hi everyone!

Welcome back to my Patreon and happy Monday! ^-^ I know the feed has been saturated with D.Va lately, but my friends, I genuinely cannot stop thinking of her new Cruiser skin. Remember how I said I started getting a lot of ideas when I thought about 1950s D.Va? Well, I took those ideas a step further and started drawing some sketches. There's just so many more possibilities now regarding her character and it's really cool? In the above image I tried emulating vintage Coke...

TUTORIAL TIME let's color some ladies~

Hi everyone!

Welcome back to my Patreon and happy Friday! :D As you may or may not know, I was recently commissioned by Blizzard to create illustrations for their Overwatch anniversary celebration! I drew all 24 characters and you can find a compilation post of them here that @BatsDontKill was kind enough to put together! I'll be making my own compilation post as well, I've just gotta figure out ...

SO OVERWATCH IS 1 YEAR OLD AND D.VA IS REALLY CUTE

Hello everyone!

Hope you're all having a lovely day so far~ As you may or may not know, Overwatch just started celebrating its one year anniversary and boy oh boy am I excited. I wrapped up my job with Blizzard over the weekend so I'm very much looking forward to posting regularly on Patreon once again. Also, the art I did for them should be getting released soon so when that comes out I'll be sharing process photos with you all! ^^ 

D.Va got a new skin with this event and it is so ...

In Bloom

Hi everyone!

Welcome back to my Patreon, today I want to share with you the postcard I did for the month of May! I tried out something different this month and went for a more lineart-focused style. I also wanted to switch up the composition since previous months have only focused on a single character. (Want to see the other postcards I've done this year? :D

But we can get through it, one day at a time, don't despair! <3 Anyways, I've got a couple of fun pieces and a tutorial to share with you today.

SO...Day 1 of mermay is over...how did I do?

Hi everyone!

Hope you're having a good day so far! As I had previously announced, I have begun the Mermay challenge for this month. So far, it's going well! I've been successful! I mean, it is only day 2 and May has 31 days so there's still room to mess up but! I'm determined to see it through to the end and will be trying my hardest to complete it. I haven't used copics and ink since my mini February moon challenge so I was a bit apprehensive diving back into traditional artwork with a monthl...

Quick update about April postcards! They're coming soon!

Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for your support in April! I've put in the order for your postcards today and I'll package and mail them out to you next Friday May 12th. I know it's a bit later than last month, but I think the wait will be worth it! I'm excited to share that I'm printing the postcards through Catprint this month (the same place where I get my prints done) and I can attest to the quality. Your postcards will be made of a nice sturdy cardstock and completely blan...

New calendar piece! April showers bring May flowers...

Hello everyone!

Happy May and happy Monday! With the new month comes a new calendar piece. For May I wanted to focus on growth, life and calm. I've been seeking a lot of calm in my life recently since my home environment can be quite hectic at times. To combat the noise, pollution, and noise pollution that I'm surrounded by I find refuge in the scenes that I draw. It helps a lot and makes me believe that peace is achievable even in times of distraught, whether internal or external. 

I'M DOING MERMAY! MERMAIDS ALLLL MAY!

Hi everyone! 

Hope ya'll are having a lovely weekend so far <3 I'm very excited to announce that I will be doing another monthly challenge in May! Mermay to be specific! That's one mermaid a day all throughout May. I've even started practicing my mermaids in preparation (see above drawing) and I am eager with the uncertainty of how this will turn out. Drawing mermaids is a lot of fun and I can't wait to start!

I attempted a monthly challenge in February (moon girls), but only end...

Everything is light pink and nothing hurts

Hi everyone!

Hoo boy do I have a big ol' art dump for you today so strap in! In addition to reds and blacks another color I've been really just feeling as of late is light pink. There's something so lovely and soft about that color, it makes me feel safe and light. Whenever I paint with it I get so relaxed, it's such a nice experience haha. I've been drawing a lot of self-indulgent things lately and I'm learning to be nice to myself about doing so. I used to think that drawing things ...

Basking in nostalgia and warm sunsets

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday and welcome back to my Patreon! :D I've got a colorful piece to share with y'all today, I hope you like it!

I've been very inspired by skies, especially sunsets, as of late and I've been having so much fun painting skies with different colors and clouds. In this piece I wanted to capture the fiery colors of summer sunsets and nostalgia of summer vacations. I'm not in school anymore so I technically don't have a summer vacation, but I remember how excited I would...

Ladies with KNIVES

Hi everyone!

Hope you are having a nice weekend so far <3 I've got a bit of a themed post for you all today. I've really been feeling the colors black and red lately, so much that they've largely infiltrated my wardrobe and dominate the clothing that I wear. I just find the contrast between them rather striking and ~dramatic~ and I am here for that.

I designed a new character this week (above). Her name is Noora and her dog's name is Nova and they are both very cool and kickass forces...

Taking a drawing from sketch to full render!

Hi everyone!

Welcome back and hope your Friday/weekend is going swimmingly so far! It has heated up furiously in Santa Barbara and summer is here full swing. Now I'm back to drawing in my non AC'd apartment as I sweat nonstop. I love summer, but the continuous sweating I could do without. Quick reminder that the milestone giveaway ends on Sunday so if you want to participate and win cool prizes cast your ...

Late night snack

Hi everyone!

Hope you're having a good day so far! I've been craving ramen lately and I thought what better way to address that craving than to make some art about it? 

And that's exactly what I did. 

I ventured significantly out of my comfort zone with this piece (backgrounds, props, and composition are trouble spots for me) and I'm glad I did! Trying out new art things, even if they're hard can be very rewarding. Even if it doesn't come out exactly as you envisioned it,...

So I drew some Symmetras...

and it was a lot of fun. :)

Hi everyone!

Hope your week is going well so far and welcome back to ~*Vicki's Land of Overwatch Fun*~! But seriously every day I find myself falling deeper into Blizzard's clutches and I've accepted my new home at this point. I've already drawn casual D.Va and wanted to take a crack at some casual Symmetras. I wanted to capture her sophistication and elegance, which I find to be a large part of her personality. It was interesting exploring new fashions and fi...
