It’s a bed!… right?

Do you think a monster would survive under this ‘bed’?

This one was inspired by my bed eating my phone, and it was quite a pain to get it back. I had to take it apart a little, which is not something you want to be doing when you were about to go to sleep. That being said, I’m really happy with how this turned out! Especially considering I didn’t have a reference in front of me, or get up to go look at it!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and sleep well!

If it looks, acts, and sounds like one… is it?

My scanner evidently hates colored pencils, because the horns and eyes turned out pretty good, and the sky and grass lost some color and coverage.

On another note. A few weeks ago one of my aunts asked how much I make on Redbubble, and since I’ve only had one sale during covid to one of my brothers, I didn’t know. Since then, I have looked at it, and I figured I’d share my answer here. Everything I have on Redbubble is currently at a 20% markup/artists margin, and the prices you see on there are the base+20%, so I would make .45 on a 2.69 sticker and 57.49 on a 344.96 metal print. I even went and made myself a spread sheet with a lot of the numbers and if it rounded up or down by less than a cent.

I think I was pushing myself a little to hard when I started Redbubble, so it’s kinda on a back burner right now. However, if I make something and you would like to see or have it on something, let me know and you might see it there!

Hope you are all having a wonderful time, and stay safe out there!

I’ve Melted!

It got really hot this week! We were in the hundreds since Sunday, went to 109°F on Wednesday, then dropped down to 93°F on Thursday. The week before that, the highest was a 91°F. So the weather threw me for a loop. Some people I know really enjoyed it, and I’m really happy they did. I think I handled it pretty well. It did cause a can of seltzer to pop in my dad’s car while I was driving it, which made it smell like a baked good for a while awhile.

I was also scared to make a drawing during this time, because I wasn’t sure how the heat would affect my pens, and had a hard time finding an answer to that. I have found some answers to related things, and it seems like it might ok… I suppose it’s one of those “try it and see” things that I’ll do at some point.

Hope you all have a wonderful week, stay cool, and remember to stay hydrated!

Pets?

Cute=1

The creative energy was a bit weird this time. I had a lot of it, and plenty of ideas, however the stuff to make them the way I wanted got misplaced. So my enthusiasm had kind of left by the time I got to this.

The day before this one, I spent about 5-6 hours on a piece, not cute or creepy related, that I’ll add to a post later this month.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Guard Duty

Decided to work on a little shading with this one, and I’m pretty happy with it today! I have noticed that I am generally happier with how my art is turning out right now, and I think some of that is because I’m allowing my art to just be what it is, and not pressuring myself to do more than I’m ready for yet.

Also, if you noticed those shadows on the top and bottom of this piece, it’s because I’m using regular old printer paper which wrinkles from all the ink that gets put on it. Sometimes it even causes the tape to unstick from the board!… This one did that… to be fair the current tape already has a hard time sticking anyway. Which is nice because it means you don’t have to worry about it tearing the paper, the flip side is the not staying on the board which can lead to your paper getting beat up. Maybe I’ll try a mix next time.

And incase you didn’t notice, there has been a change to the comments section which should make it a little easier for some people to leave one! No pressure though.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

A Delightful Night

Happy fire fills the night, of the midnight dragons pure delight. For all stars the fill the sky, and the moon reflected in it’s eye.

Found this draft from before. No border on it, as I was struggling with keeping the paper flat, and there are still remains of my efforts on my board. Looking at it now… I think you can kind of tell that I wasn’t enjoying myself as much. It feels a bit messier and less detailed, less cared about I guess. Not necessarily bad things, in and of themselves, just an observation of myself… The fire is my favorite part, by the way. I’m pretty happy with how that turned out!

Hope you all have a wonderful week!
