Hello everyone~! My all of five visitors! Haha, <3.

I’ve started second year of animation and I’m absolutely thrilled to be doing what I’m doing. Although I’ve yet to fall into a routine, I’m definitely digging the fact that we have desks this year. Ask anyone; I’ve gone completely overboard in decorating it. [But I maintain that there are still a fewwww blank spots I can fill. Gwen, send me stuffff already, <3!]

Also, for anyone interested in character design, I’m hosting a little contest over on dA [though I guess it’s not affiliated with my dA at all, I just posted it there for maximum exposure.] If you’re curious, you can read more about it here: [link!]

Over the summer, I kept myself busy with artwork, as I previously mentioned in this infrequently updated blog, both online and offline. And although holding down two low paying jobs didn’t leave me much time to complete what I wanted to before the school year started again, I’m quite proud with my progress, regardless. It’s been a tough summer, including losing my grandfather suddenly. I loved him dearly, and he made me my animation desk - he even carved the circle by hand. I’ll cherish it forever, and certainly make good use of it, especially this year!

So anyway, enjoy, and as always, click the thumbnail for a larger view!

Art of my original character, Suds. Her backstory is complicated, and there’s no such creature as her, but she can be described as a rainbow hamster-lizard with antenna and the ability to curl up like a potato bug. She’s cute and naive and everyone loves her~!

Miscellaneous works. Left to right: character portraits of some of my OCs, a damn complicated commission for Gaia, and myself as an artsy robot drawn after seeing Wall*E!

Hiccups related art. Click the link down and to the left, on the sidebar, if you’re super curious about my Hiccups project. These are toddler and child artworks I did for the project, for various people, including myself, yay. Oh, and the shapeshifter lady is in there too, just in case you think I think children have boobs. Hahaha.

My three main characters. I love them to pieces! So, finally, I found them deserving of full body artwork, especially since I need accurate references if I want to get people to draw them for me. [Hint hint, nudge nudge! ;D..] Anywho, no, these are not the only outfits they will ever wear, they are not those kinds of characters. And yes, for Ink, the last one, my influence was totally and completely the actor Joe Anderson; I’ve had the character for six years and only now have I found the perfect visual reference!

I’ll wrap up this incredibly massive art post by sending my love out to all of you for stopping on by, <3.

Love and limes,
~Phoo!
