OC group pic

Still working on my story but I am proud to say it is finally coming together. I've been working more on the writing side than drawing. I honestly forget how to draw my own OCs.... Don't let this happen to you, folks!

Random stuff

 

Why won't you look at me

Remake of an old drawing from 2012. 

NYC photo studies

 

Based off photos from my NYC trip in 2011. I never really took the time to appreciate the photos I took while I was there. 

My love

My sweet orangel Nikki. 

Ladies

 Beatrice and Zoey

Monsters

Color swatch

 

I photographed my computer screen through a prism. Then I painted over it.

Monsters

For this year I would like to complete at least one major artwork per month. Off to a good start. Now what idea should I cover next?

The best way for me to figure out what really matters to me is to imagine I can't make art ever again. What would I regret not creating? I would regret not making more artwork of the things that are important to me, like my cats, past and present. I want to illustrate the emotions and memories along the way.

Getting help with my ideas

 I know I will never visit every single idea on my list. I’ve made peace with that. But just because -I- didn’t get to it doesn’t mean these ideas deserve to languish in obscurity. I want to share my ideas online in hopes that others will adopt them. I would probably post them on Tumblr, especially for fanart-oriented ideas. I could easily turn this list into a collaborative effort. Not all ideas are suitable for sharing, but focus on the ones that are.

February check-in

My year is off to a decent start. We celebrated my 30th birthday. That’s right, momma’s 20s are over. What do I really want out of life? How do I want my 30s to be different from my 20s? I’m taking time to re-evaluate my life and art goals. The latter consists of making at least one major artwork per month (the hope is that I can eventually increase this number); perfecting my art style; and ultimately, writing and drawing my story. The good news is I am making progress!! Still in the writing stages, but it’s slowly coming together. My main life goal right now is to get my energy back. I’m going to exercise more and not eat so many snacks. 

My goals for February are to make another major artwork (my January artwork is nearly complete!) and finalize the basic plot of my story so I can move on to the next step. I just finished a draft last night!
