Jade Elephant

2012-01-07T20:20:00.000-06:00

I love elephants and realized I haven't drawn one since I was real small. So I drew a baby elephant. I might draw more things similar to this in the future, it was a lot of fun to make and real relaxing. I got lost drawing all the little patterns and testing out different colors.

Sensations

2012-01-04T09:00:00.000-06:00

A drawing I started late last year around Autumn. I tried making something that represented relaxing sensations (see the failed goosebumps on the girl's shoulders? XD) and the tingling sensation you get during ASMR sessions. I didn't get to finish it but I tinkered with it with a new art program my friend Namii suggested to me Its great! The only bad thing is its in a language that gives me major headaches trying to decipher XD

But I love it!

I know there are a bunch of mistakes in this. I used no reference, this was straight out of imagination. Might redraw this sometime with reference to make the proportions and face structure more accurate.

It is an entry for an art contest Team Meat (Edmund McMillen and Tom Fulp) are holding. I also made half the recording process of how I went about making this. The digital half crashed during editing. Haven't used traditional media in a long while.

This was a birthday present I made for my husband’s 29th birthday. It is a turret on a cake, and a card of P-Body and Atlas that I made with water colors. It was my first time working with sculpey clay and it is a very interesting medium to work with. I plan to make more cute figures. I need to find some tutorials or tips on how to handle this clay. I am so used to using water to soften clay and stick them together…

I’ve wanted to draw American McGee’s Alice since I finished playing the first game. I just started playing the second game but I already know what happens. I watched my friend ~chibi-Nazumi play the Alice: Madness Returns game and I simply fell in love with it. So I bought a copy for myself.

Fayd Shepard. My Shepard, who was also once known as Chaska. (I really need to do the ME2 meme sometime) It has felt like FOREVER since I last drew Fayd. I found the logo in the BG over on deviantArt. Just type in N7 Logo and you should see it. I tried linking it but an error keeps popping up. I hope in ME that they will put dreadlocks as a new hair style option, although I bet dreadlocks will be friggin hard to rig, so I am not keeping my hopes up.

Oh, btw, that dress you get in the Kasumi mission? I always find that metal plate-necklace-bib-thing to look a lot like mini underwear XDD

BioWare Contest 2011 - GARRUS

PHEW! I made it! I finished the drawing for the Bioware fan art show case and sent them the much larger and high res file. I wish I had a little more time and made more drawings but that's ok. This drawing of Garrus is actually a part of a commission I did for XenoWriter but it is only one part of the image and she gave me permission to use it for the showcase.

Gosh I am so excited XD I wonder how we can see our artwork if it makes it to the showcase?

I was drawing this with the intention of making some fan art for the BioWare fan art Showcase. It was supposed to be Kasumi eating her grandmother's ramen but instead it turned into my original character, Sace, eating noodles. Those of you who know Sace realize her hair is different here! But actually she has both white and black hair. (She dyes and cuts it to blend in more into society) Sace is part of my original novel in progress. The world it takes place in is a planet called Gytha, which means War.

Misha

2011-05-16T21:48:00.000-05:00

This is my original character, Misha, born within a cavern and having her first experience with her gift of illusions. She is a magical creature (a Jackalope) who has been exposed to the curse made by the native witches that plagued the land for many years. The curse turns humans, or unwelcomed newcomers, into animals and animals into humans, and sometimes they stop transformation in between turning them into an anthro formation. I won’t get into detail about the world and the universe, but I will say that Misha eventually ends up working for a circus and wears a hat to hide her horns and prevent them from subconsciously altering things around her. Her horns hold the most of her inner magic, as you can see how she has control over water, and creating illusions of moons and planets.
