Since I haven't used this journal in almost a year now:


From nailing the interview for my newest job in October


Doodles of my RP character Claire as she looked as of a few weeks ago and her doppelganger/sister, Beth.


My half-assed entry to Gaia's puzzle contest

Still working on that piece with the fishes. XD;; I get the feeling that I'm ruining it with those water effects that I've started adding down at the bottom right, but eh- I need to finish this fucker SOMEDAY, right?

My entry to Gaia's Airship Captain Hat Contest. |D; Not SUPER original or unique, but I had fun doing it!


And here's a little sort-of demo of it on a Gaia avatar.

Yeah. |D;

In-progress sketch and test colour for the tribute piece I'm doing. OTL I suck.

You know, it seemed to me for a while there as if I was hardly doing any drawing at all. I felt a bit listless, a bit without direction, and I decided that I would - for the sake of keeping-up practice, getting better acquainted with cute/funny subjects, and for acquiring Gaia items without having to pay cash for them - I would open up a little art shop on the Gaia forums, offering to draw peoples' avatars and OCs for them for what I thought was a reasonable price.

I think I may have priced it all too low, because I was SWAMPED and a lot of my customers have gone ahead and just given me more Gaia gold for my trouble-! XD;;; Here are some of the things that I've made there:


For myself of my own avatar at the time. I used this as my primary example/advertising tool.


For my friend Jonathan of his adorable octo-girl OC! It was fun to pencil, ink and CG those tentacles!! Though certainly I have much room to grow in the tentacle-drawing department, I'm having fun learning! 8D


A pair of avatars for Stoic Cat, and MY it was fun to make those fairy wings transparent and that golden pendant radiantly glowy-! XD


And one more commission, this time of someone's original character sitting on a massive cuppycake! ♥

I made-up this little monster design when I was in [art] High School, marveling at creepy disembodied head practice which involved contour lines to delineate where the nose, eyes and mouth would be. Voila, beastly creature of nightmares! One assumes that it poos from some dark place where a neckhole would be, and possibly mates with other fowl birdy-things via some tongue-like mechanism.

Ew.

IN BETTER SPIRITS, have a bunny lolita!

One of my favourite original characters [whose name is currently 'Teru' but really ought to be replaced with something better - I had initially wanted to name him 'Stein,' actually, but I'm sure that I'd like him to have a much more sensible, cool and realistic name for a Demon Prince]. and myself. I got a haircut, finally! Wooh, was it badly needed. |D;

Anyway, yeah, my OC there- he has tentacles on his head. Yup. His father was the horrible, gross-looking 'King of Demons' and his mother was a succubus. She had manymanymany kids by the king, and Teru was not the oldest NOR was he the youngest- he did, however, kill all of his elder and younger siblings in order to secure the throne for himself, and his succubus mother was always very proud of him for being her prettiest child.

Also from the same story:


Hypnos, AKA "Ein," a God of Dreams. Ein's father was Somnus, the God of Sleep, and his elder brother was Morpheus, another God of Dreams who could shapeshift. ANYWAY, long story short, because of a prophecy to do with the God of Sleep's youngest son bringing about DESTRUCTION with all-caps, Somnus raised Ein as a daughter instead and, voila, the Demon Prince wanted in on that so that he could become a God of Dreams and turn everything into nightmares. LOL, yeah.

ANYWAY, needless to say, DESTRUCTION went down with all caps.

SO BLEH. There's more to that story, but not for today. For today, there's laundry and a shower and room cleaning and commission inking before bedtime and work tomorrow-!!

( Also featuring the OC that I earned my nickname from )

My life.

I was just too tired to properly respond when a roach came flying out of the trunk of my work van one morning. XD; Can you believe that I literally thought 'hm, I should draw a comic about this' at the time? Loser. |D;
