Alencia artwork, Donate button

Hey everyone!
I've been spending time with family recently but I've managed to get some character work done. Here's what I've got for today. (click images to make them bigger).


Rough sketches of Alencia and her sister Gertrude. I'm exploring their relationship and I will be drawing their parents soon. Alencia and Gertrude are close but Alencia can't help but feel like she's living in Gertrude's shadow and constantly being compared to her. This is part of why she feels that she needs to travel by herself to make her own way free of her mother's expectations (and her constant comparisons of the two sisters).


In the story I'm thinking of, Gertrude (who is an accomplished mage) makes a teleportation portal for Alencia to use to start her new journey and get her out of the house unnoticed. She ends up falling through the portal since she's never used one before :P


Possible 'summer' outfit for Alencia. I realized just about all my other characters have appropriate Winter/Summer clothing, save for her. I try to make such outfits practical. This is also the first time her hair will be put up :P
I'm looking forward to this story, it just needs a lot of work since it's really in the idea stage.



If you enjoy my artwork and you'd like to drop me a dollar or two, now you can! I have a paypal set up and it's open to donations. Every little helps, and with my senior year of college coming up and this summer class to pay for, I appreciate anything that is donated. Thank you! :)

I'll do some work for Kale soon, I promise ;_;

ATCs and Costumes

Hey everyone!
I've been home with my parents for a few days, spending time with them and working on goods for Nekocon. Today I managed to finish my half of an ATC trade with a good friend of mine.

My half:

Her character 'Talks,' a Corvid from WoD RPG.

Its' Alencia! :D I love it so much! I can't wait to trade them.

Speaking of Alencia I also found some bits and bobs for my costume of her that I'll be wearing to Nekocon. So far I've been able to find things at local thrift stores pretty well. I'm still on the hunt for leggings and boots, and fabric to make her sleeves.
I'll post photos when I have time to take/upload them. I'll also be working on her belt pouches. I need to draft a pattern and then sew them up.

I also entered a Mermaid Mascot contest for a group on Devianart.com. Here's my entry.

More to come soon!

Comics and Cards

Things I've been up to lately in photo form...


WIP shot. Page 15 of Kale is finally inked. I'm really happy with how it came out. (You'll see later!)


Speaking of Kale, I started some bookmarks last night and finished them today. I am REALLY happy with how they came out. I planned on doing a group shot with the guys as the 4th bookmark. I may get to it later. Also planning on doing Lolita ones too. Lets see how that goes :P


WIP photo of the first 5 of my Burlesque card series. The finished scans are posted on my Deviantart page.


The three cards I finished yesterday with a commission I also finished yesterday; which is also posted on DA.


Also bought the hardcover edition of Blacksad! I'm so happy this finally came back into print. I was even more ecstatic when I realized that this isn't the first book, but ALL THREE OF THEM in one beautiful volume. Nerd heaven, I am there. Now I can read the third story and have all of them to reread and study :) I LOVE the watercolor work and expressions of the characters in these books. I HIGHLY suggest this to anyone who likes anthropomorphic characters/stories, or fans of noir detictive stories. Or fans of GOOD comics in general :P


I also decided to pick up a 0.1 copic refillable mulitliner pen. I have a set of the disposable ones (the affordable ones) and the 0.1 is the one I use the most often. I buy so many of the 0.1 Microns for sketching (really, I buy one or two whenever I go to Main Art) so this is definitely a cheaper investment.

Not only can you refill the ink but you can also replace the nibs! A great addition since I tend to ware out nibs before using all the ink. However, I wouldn't recommend getting the whole set of these since each pen is about $8 with the nib replacements being about $2 and some change, and the ink refills about $3 and some change. My purchase was about $16 with tax but it should last me, which is important. I won't bother getting any of the other pens like this since I don't use all of them near as much as I do the 0.1. The only one I would probably consider, later down the road, is the 0.05 since I've started using it more and I have nib concerns with those too.
