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!

Making a Deal

(fine print) must put up with its attempts to make you feel better about yourself.
sign here please… perfect! You are a fantastic creature.

Would you make a deal? Would it be a good one? I suppose that depends on who you are… and if you read the fine print.

Last week I said I am working on something for Cute or Creepy, and it is a Cute or Creepy coloring book! It will have about 25 pictures, no repeats of what is on here, and my current plan for release is in October. I also said I would give you all a sneak peek, and so I shall deliver!

a little peek

This one is the latest addition to it, and probably one of my favorites so far.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Hello again!

Greetings, strange one. Cute AND Creepy

I’M BACK!!!!! I apologize for dropping off like that. With redoing all of the old ones, I lost some of the love and connection with the art I was making, and as the world started up again I got more and more responsibilities and was having a hard time juggling them all, so this got set on the back burner and slowly moved to the freezer. I kept want to come back to this, and I was having a hard time figuring out how, since I’ve misplaced some of my materials, and the thought of continuing to redo the old stuff made me a little sad. Then in the past week or so I thought, what if I do it like before and use whatever is on hand? so I grabbed a good old A1 paper, some brush and line pens, and next thing I know this critter is ready to say hi! and I am excited about what I’m doing again! So, hello again!

That being said. While it may be a bit before I post videos, or redo an old one. I am/have been working on a special something for Cute or Creepy, and I will give you all a little sneak peek soon. Thank you for your patience, I hope you have a wonderful Independence Day, and your week trends toward improvement!

P.S. I have also learned that my current upload method doesn’t like big pictures unless the dpi is low… :-I

Almost a Disaster

You know what? I’m changing it up today! I want to know what you think is going on in the picture, to merit such a title as “Almost a Disaster”, and I’ll let you know what I was thinking of next week. In the mean time, I hope you are all having a good week, are staying safe wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, and have a wonderful Independence Day tomorrow!

It’s a Pink Horse

Ever since a kid ran up to it declaring that it’s a pink horse, it has calmly corrected anyone that says otherwise. It has resulted in a bit of confusion amongst tourists and those new to the village, but no one wants to argue with the thing because, A. it protects the local food crops, and B. it’s a DRAGON! That’s like arguing with a brick wall. If brick walls could breathe fire, and make you disappear with a single bite. Oh! If you ever see it at a party, and it asks if you want to see a magic trick? SAY NO! Or somebody’s gonna end up covered in dragon drool, and that stuff is a pain to get out of anything!

Greeting The Day Star

Would you care to join my friend and I? We are greeting the Day Star, high in the sky. A little bit of its light is good for me and you. And it’s good for the plants and my friend too. But don’t stay too long! For even with protection, the Day Stars light can cause destruction!

Note: There is no Redbubble For this yet, because reasons. And I have decided to focus on some other things, before I do anymore on there, as there is not enough demand for it to be worthwhile at this point in time. If there is one that you want on something, now or in the future, let me know and I will put it on there. Hope you all are staying safe, and I will see you next week!

The Wise Rainbow Dragon

The Wise Rainbow Dragon is quite the majestic sight, and you may catch a glimpse of him in the misty sunlight. If you happen to find him resting in a spot of sun, ask him your questions, one, by one. He’ll answer each question with kindness and care, till the sun has gone down and the fireflies flare. With a great sigh he’ll nudge you on home, wishing you luck with the knowledge now known. And if you happen to see him again, he’ll greet you by name like a very old friend.

Also! I will not be posting next week, as I will be attending a wedding at that time. In the meantime, stay safe and remember to take care of yourselves!

Hide And Seek Squish

Is it a fish? Is it a squid? How about a Squish? Yes, a Squish do! And I think it wants to play with you. Hide and Seek among the coral, it’s camo hides it well. But it knows you stay long, and so it aids you with a little song. You find it with a little gift for you. An iridescent rock of your favorite hue, as a reminder of your friend in the big ocean blue.

Sorry there wasn’t a post last week, stuff kept happening. Mother’s Day is Tomorrow, so don’t forget to appreciate the maternal figures in your life!
