More details can be found on their FB.

Fanime AA

Hey guys!

Kinda late, cause I was super busy preparing, but I'm going to be at Fanime AA this year!

I'm at table 110, near the exit, so drop by and take a look around.

My fellow artist suminoio will be at the table with me, so check out her stuff too!

Wishing Upon Stars

Insipired by Pixar's La Luna with the usual spiel of children getting spirited away to far off places filled with mystery and wonder~

All done in COPIC marker as per usual and a white gel pen~

Announcement!

Buy Tickets Here~!

Hey guys!

I've been invited to be a part of Neologian Art Gallery's art show Art-RAGEOUS next Saturday on the 17th~ I'm really excited and really nervous at the same time because there's probably going to be some amazing artists over there.

If anyone is interested, entrance fee is $6-10 to see some amazing artists and listen to some fun music.

Chibi - Eat Your Kimchi

Not a commission this time guys~

Eat Your Kimchi, SUPER awesome group from Korea that educates the internet about Korean culture 50% of the time and the other 50% involves vlogging random shenanigans, trips around the world, and their pets is having their Meet Your Kimchi Canada|USA tour going on. They were in SF over the weekend and I wanted to give them stuffs.

I'm telling you, seeing them in person and seeing how down to earth and fun they are was amazing. It was worth taking the day off just for them.

Chibi Commission Collection 6

This one actually made me nervous. The commissioner wanted me to do the commission on their ORIGINAL comic book. I was trying very VERY hard to be careful with their comic book so I wouldn't wear and tear it. I'm also glad that the COPICs didn't bleed through the cover. I put a cover underneath to prevent it bleeding through the next page, but I'm glad that the back cover is fine. 

Luckily afterwards they gave me something more simple to draw, but I like drawing fanarts in real-world elements. They wanted me to draw the character in Japan's national soccer/football team so that was fun getting the refs for.

Chibi Commission Collection 5

Past and present commissions from one person. Dude was crazy though. The first one was from last year and then he came back and ordered 3 more from me. At the same time. It was fun to draw them, but it made me realize I need to practice more with armor and mecha/industrial elements.

Deemo WIP

Got the update to Deemo 2.0 and finished it.

That was NOT OKAY.

Give my heart back to me please? Preferably intact after you ripped it out and crushed it into a million pieces.

WIP cause I couldn't get shake off the ending. It's really hard to work on when I'm playing the ending music at the same time. I just keep sobbing.

Chibi Commission Collection: RukakoMaiden

Commissions requested by RukakoMaiden

It's really cool to see the change in my style and how I draw when, as mentioned previously, people who commissioned me from like a few years ago come back and commission me again.

Chibi Commission Collection: nekiv and suminoio

Past commissions requested by nekuiv and suminoio.

The top one is actually 2 commissions of the commissioners themselves that can be combined together. The bottom one is another commission a couple years later of suminoio's OC Ritsu.

I mentioned in my previous posts about the reception I got from two wonderful commissioners and how heartwarming it was to hear such great things from them but I also want to mention the response I get from several of my returning commissioners is also just as heartwarming, especially now as my work changes as the years go by, as you can see up above. It really is a great feeling when you draw something for someone and then a couple of years later, they come back to ask for another.

So this goes to not only to both bambi and riarujack those who have commissioned me for the first time, but to all my returning commissioners, thank you for your support for my work and coming back to commission from me, whether its the next month, next year or several years later. 

Honestly I've been having a bad couple of months with some family and work trouble and have been a bit unmotivated, which is why the commissions and art posts have disappeared for a bit, but to get such great words spoken from you guys and how happy you guys are with your commissions really brightens up my day and makes everything worth it.

Chibi Commission Collection: Bammbiieyes

Commissions requested by Bammbiieyes

The other one of the two commissioners from AOD.

It was really nice to see how excited they were for their commissions, even though I barely started on either of theirs before the con was over.

But seriously, I feel very touched that they liked my work that much. Thank you guys, I've honestly never had that happen to me before and to get that kind of reception from what I love doing is very heartwarming.

Chibi Commission Collection: RiaruJack

Commissions requested by RiaruJack

So when I went to AOD Artist Alley, yeah I was AOD but completely unprepared so much that I forgot to post it online *shot*

Anyways I encountered a lot of great people there, and just as many great commissioners. Usually I get a lot of great comments and returning commissioners after ordering from me once, but these two in particular pretty much instantly commissioned me and then came back to commission me a second time even before the 1st day was over. This is one of them.

AO XMAS 2014 - Day 9

Name: Korra

Series: Avatar: Legend of Korra

Class: Soul Linker

As much as I loved drawing Korra's long hair, I love how she looks with short hair. Don't ask me which I like more though, you would be waiting weeks before I could come up with an answer I wouldn't regret.

Overall, I'm still a day behind, but not too bad compared to last year. Unfortunately, there's supposedly a HUGE storm that's supposed to hit tonight or tomorrow morning. They say it's the biggest one they've seen in years and that we're gonna get blacked out because of it so we'll see how this goes. In the meanwhile I'm gonna keep on drawing and hopefully post them soon as I can.

AO XMAS 2014 - Day 8

Name: Ami

Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

Class: Professor | Scholar

I'm pretty sure my sister telepathically told me to draw Ami cause before I knew it she was next to Mako.

AO XMAS 2014 - Day 7

Name: Makoto

Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

Class: Sura

Finally off the MMO series and onto some of my favorites. Mako's hair was seriously the hardest to do. I couldn't decide between auburn or the rosy tint she had back at the beginning of the manga so I kinda went with...both? *fails*

AO XMAS 2014 - Day 6

Name: Akatsuki

Series: Log Horizon

Class: Guillotine Cross

So finally got my internet working again, and enough to load more days.

Did I mention that I LOVE pseudo-mmo series?

AO XMAS 2014 - Day 5

Name: Shiroe

Series: Log Horizon

Class: Professor | Scholar

If you can't tell, I really like pseudo-MMO series. I feel really geeky and nerdy when I hear all the MMO lingo.

Also here it's December 5th, so Happy Birthday Lelouch! (the only character I memorized the birthday of and usually remember) I was debating on drawing him before Shiroe but I didn't wanna break my MMO peeps.

AO XMAS 2014 - Day 4

Name: Asuna

Series: Sword Art Online

Class: Arch Bishop

I had a debate on whether to make Asuna a Knight or a Priest class, in other words go KnightsoftheBloodOath!Asuna or ALOBerserkerHealer!Asuna. I could have gone the KotBO route like I did 2 years ago, but since season 2 was out this year and because of the feels from the 2nd half of season 2.... ༼ つ ಥ_ಥ ༽つ

Yeah we kinda see which one won in the end.

If you have any idea what I'm talking about, especially you LN readers, you know I'm also anticipating next weeks episode just as much as you guys and I'm probably gonna spend the rest of this month curled up into a ball.

If you don't and are a SAO fan, go read the light novel, ESPECIALLY the Mother's Rosario Arc. SOOOOO many feels, pulls at your heartstrings, well it did for me.

....

I just realized that SAO II ends around the end of this year. Rudolph and Old Saint Nick anyone? *shot*

AO XMAS 2014 - Day 3

Name: Kirito

Series: Sword Art Online

Class: Assassin Cross

Of course today ended up being the day that ALL my tonal/gray COPICS decided to run out. Luckily I had most of the refills.

AO XMAS 2014 - Day 2

Name: Haseo

Series: .hack//G.U.

Class: Gunslinger

Didn't say I was limited to one series/game per day hehe...
