These Are For More Contests. Man Its Kinda Sad School Has Started So Its Hard To Find Time To Draw. But

These are for more contests. Man it’s kinda sad– school has started so it’s hard to find time to draw. But apparently I’ll make plenty of time for contests XD haha! Oh well, whatever gets your creative juices flowing. Edit: I should also mention that I DID NOT draw the first picture, I just colored it.

I am really happy with this art piece! Accomplishing it helped me to realize I could create art with far more stylization than I ever thought I was capable of. This came out of an illustration class and I'm SO glad I took it!

So, these are for an art competition on Icepets-- yes. I know. I’m a dork. LEAVE ME ALONE DANGIT XD

BUT I really like art competitions because they give me a chance to spread out my artistic wings and draw something new. And I love what I was able to make here!

The first two are not 100% original (the line work anyway) because it was more like a “coloring page” contest. The sweater idea was mine though and it’s funny because a Ridix is kinda like a cat and... yeah... XD

And then the OTHER pictures are photos that I took, and then editing on photoshop to make this really adorable character that I have now fallen in love with because he’s just WEIRD XD And yes his sweater is made out of tissue. I had to think outside of the box-- if you know what I mean *winky face*

These were just a joy to make! And I hope you enjoy their unique qualities as much as I do. The creatures themselves are creations based on the creatures from the game of Ice Pets.

(Also tabsterblaster if you’re reading this YES that is totally that meerkat you gifted me XD)

BTW, Merry Christmas everyone!

Marked (Preview)

Hope this little preview gets you just as excited as I am! I’ve officially started on my first graphic novel which, for the time being, is called Marked. I’ll be posting pages of the novel weekly on Fridays, so be looking forward to that. 

I’ll give you more of a summary next week with the title page and page one. But I feel like it’s important to say this now: this book addresses mental illness, specifically anxiety and depression. It’s just as much for those who are clinically diagnosed as it is for family members, friends, or anyone who wants to better understand. Hopefully it can help you or a loved one to gain insight on these situations. Please share this with family and friends, and get the word around. I hope to be able to influence as many people as possible! :)

Thank you!

I don’t usually reblog stuff but this was just too good to pass up. XD

*scrambles onto mermay wagon* OKAY FINE! haha just a little something I did for fun today.
