Man alive it’s been a good minute since I used this blog!  According to the time stamp of my last post, I updated the blog on May 16th, 2014 which is more than 4 years ago!  Since that time a lot has happened:

• I went back to school and graduated last year with a diploma in Graphic Design!
• Went to Anime North and other conventions’ Artist Alley
• Been job hunting now that I have that diploma
• Started working on my webcomic idea 
• My art/gaming desktop is on it’s last legs so now I’m reading up on the best/most affordable parts for a whole new build
• Updating this blog!

If you’re wondering why I’m updating the blog now, well good ol’ tumblr has had some interesting changes to it’s policy.  And as expected many of the adult artists have been jumping ship.  Now I’m not personally an adult porny artist myself, but I have been thinking of trying to draw some more risqué if only for the purpose of improving my anatomy.  Nothing crazy, no wild fetishes, tentacle porn, gangbangs or anything like that.  The odd booty here, an anime tiddy there, that’s all!  But seeing how Tumblr has put the kibosh on any of that, so I’ll try it here!  Might have to check and see if Bluehost allows that kind of stuff.  In the mean time, I’d like to direct you to this tweet and this post of other places you can find me and my art online!

EDIT-Looks like I can’t post that here, any suggestions internet?

…and nothing happens for those are inanimate objects!

The actual nitty, gritty, shading part of the program. You know…the part when things come to life!

Well my site revamp is about three quarters of the way done. All that’s left is to draw something for the about/profile page and of course to upload everything. Still very much in love with the whole damask pattern for layouts. And some how it gives the whole website a sort of “classier” look to things. Not that I haven’t seen classy looking artsites that use solid or vibrant colours.

Came across this entry on deviantArt challenging people to redraw whatever they used to draw when they first started out in art. For me, it was trees in the sun/ So of course this calls for….VECTOR TRESS AND SUNS WHOOOO! Now just to find a way to not make it look like every other abstract nature scene out there.

My, my, my it’s been a little while since this blog has been updated hasn’t it? Have no fear, an update is here! Yes…that was a little lame, I know and I’m sorry.

Here we haven a process video of a sketch that I started inking a little while ago, around early February. I’d always find myself working on it between finishing other pieces. Then one day, in the middle of July I said “I’m going to finish that one and revamp my site dammit!” and…finally got working. One of the lovely things about cel-shading is that it can be finished quickly and can still look nice. Guess who discovered the wonderful world of gradients?

Recently, I came across a video of someone actually colouring artwork on their iPad and I just had to get in on that. So I sacrificed got some old lineart and tried Sketchbook Pro out. And you know what? Not as easy as it looks. What I like about it though, is that it gives everything this sketchy look, nice alternative to oekaki-ing. Guess I have no reason to finally learn how to sketch digitally, might as well go and invest in one of those Wacom iPad styluses.

Been a while since I’ve updated this blog, but have no fear, I’m still alive and kicking! So Anime North came and went since my last update. Photos were taken and the experience was written about. Now that the convention excitement is over, time to get back to the business of art! So I’ve been posting little screenshots and works in progress on my tumblr. With that in mind, last night I started working on a little header image, just a matter of figuring out what to add text wise to the empty space. Also I’d like to finish the revamping the site by the end of the month, if not early August. With that in mind, I made a couple of little tweaks to the frontpage design that I had in the work. Almost tempted to livestream my progress, but then how interesting is it to see someone write line after line of css as opposed to drawing, inking and colouring a picture and watching it come to life? Either way, stay tuned! Last but not least…would any of you ladies out there marry any of these charming gentlemen?

I swear I saw the viking guy at AN this year!
