Heads Up

I'll be visiting family in the south this monday for a week. After that I have about two weeks to finish up my summer class project so I'll be even more busy than usual. I have a few things to scan and post as of right now, so when I get back I should have more to post and scan before the fall semester starts up.
I'm not dead just REALLY really busy.

I'll be back later with more art!

Brush Pen Shenanigans

When not photoshooping school work I've been practicing with my brush pen.

I am far too amused by this one. I'm really happy with it tho, I think I'm gaining better control over the pen as I ink.

I feel like such a damn fangirl. I had to draw Noah Antwiler after watching his hilarious review of 'Ultima 1.' I highly suggesting giving it a watch. Even if you're not familiar with the game (I sure wasn't) it is still hilariously entertaining.

Boookmarks

My printer decided to work today, despite being it being low on ink. So I did some bookmark tests. I think I might have to rescan the images for it, I feel like I might have accidently cut off the tops of the Kale bookmarks. But I wanted to see how my card-stock printed and how the laminator worked with it all. I have to say I'm very pleased. The book marks are also smaller than I thought they would be so I think I'll offer them for a dollar each. I also need to figure out how to print my info on the back of them. That'll be another test.



Here's how they looked printed out and laminated, next to my $25 Walmart laminator. It's worked pretty well for me so far.



I cut them all up, one sheet each, right up to the edges. I was afraid that they would come undone but since they are heat laminated they seem to be pretty sturdy.

This was a nice break from school work. I also have brush pen practice drawings to finish and scan later. Basically I've been practicing in hopes to better control the brush pen when inking with it. Those will be coming soon!

And here are some cookies I made yesterday!

Kale Poster

OH SWEET BABY JESUS IT'S FINALLY DONE.

I may make some edits later and fill that empty space by Evander's head. But for now, its' done.

*collapses at desk*

Glow

I spent a couple hours coloring and fixing illustrations for my summer class project. Hopefully I should finish them tomorrow. I also decided to finish up an Alencia picture that I was stuck on because I didn't know how to make a glowing effect. I finally figured it out and I have a finished result.

I'm pretty proud of it. It'll be a print at Nekocon if I can get a table. Speaking of which according to the Nekocon website they estimate AA table registration should open on the 8th of August. Cutting a bit close I think :/

I also tried to do a book mark test this evening and it turns out my printer is low on ink 9_9 I haven't even used it for anything color lately. Hopefully the ink cartridges aren't obsolete or too hard to find.

Tomorrow I'll be finishing school work and then hopefully finishing another illustration from my queue of 'things to finish coloring' that has been stacking up. I should have a good body of original prints and stuff for Nekocon soon. Also lots of work still needs to be done for both Kale and the 'Or Maybe Not' books before I can send them off to be printed. I'm excited to get it all done.

Bookmarks

I can be so forgetful at times.
I finished these book marks a while ago and forgot to post them. Mostly I'd like to know if anyone likes them? I planning on printing some up and laminating them for Nekocon. I was thinking of offering them for $2 or $3 (haven't settled on a final price yet) but I still have some printing/laminating tests to do. I'll most likely do those this weekend when I have my color printer back.

So here are the Kale bookmarks, featuring our baddy Xenla, our hero Kale, and our resident healer/exorcist Alencia. I'm also going to offer a free bookmark with the books I'll be selling. Buyer's choice.



I also drew up some Lolita ones but I'm not as in love with them as I am the Kale ones. I think I might just do the gothic and sweet ones but we'll see. Let me know which ones you like!


I think I'll add some text to these ones labeling what kinds of Lolita they are. Maybe add a ribbon or something on the ends of them too.
Please let me know what you guys think of them!

Also- Alencia cosplay photos to come later. My dad has to get them off of his camera, along with some reference photos I took recently, (I don't have my card reader and his is on his PC) but he said he'd get them on a disc for me soon. I also found boots for my costume which I'm really excited about. I just need to find some grey pants (decided leggings didn't quite work for me and her original design has pants anyway) or wait for the ones I saw at Target to go on sale. Also gotta work on more pouches and potion bottles.

More to come!
