art trade with Coey! I drew his characters Moth and Mantis preparing for a magic trick.
He probably won’t see this until after Acen, OHWELL
anyways, yet again I feel the colors flatten out the entire piece. Hm.
I’ve been having a little story jumble around in my head on and off about plant-like entities, here’s the first actual concept I’ve spat out.
I really want to focus on Remington’s story more than anything but since I’m going through a bit of an art slump I’m pretty desperate for anything creative to pop out.
so there ya go…
OK SO I decided I needed to do some fanart… what better way than to give some cool kidz some art as a house-warming gift!
This was Naomi’s request, Wind Waker Link

Anonymous asked: I am absolutely in LOVE with your art and your color choices! Your colors all work together, look very appealing, and create a certain "feel" and mood for your pieces. Any advice/tips/tricks on how to achieve this or on color choices in general?
ohgosh, anon too kind
colors, colors….I’m always fighting with them. I guess I care more about the overall value than the actual colors (well, in more ‘finished’ pieces). Ask myself, ‘Is there a good contrast?’ then move on to tweaking between complimentary colors. The colors I start off are never what I finish with, the end result… usually something I don’t plan. For sketches though? Completely different. Traditionally I use colored pencils for sketching, that kinda translates to my digital as well. UHHHHIdunno. I don’t even understand my own process…..if you have more specific questions feel free to ask away
HOW COLOR? let’s learn together ;B
giftart for Tarte, for ever so kindly gifting me a Tardis Mug
This is her character, Dr. Lyall Sinclair. Tried something different… not sure how well those colors are working but hey it was all fun playing around with it
THANKS TARTE, YOU’RE A PEACH <3<3
ohman an update, been kind of all over the place lately
mourning dress- 1840s
I really needed to unwind, drawing a dress was just the thing to do that
aaagh…so scatterbrained right now * - *
cranberry-cadence asked: On deviantart, I saw your cosplay of the Plastered splicer! Well done! Might I ask a bit of advice? How did you achieve the effect with your clothes? Did you starch them and paint them?
the answer is gesso. Lots and lots of gesso!
It’s pretty flexible when it dries, doesn’t chip away and you can keep building it up in layers after it dries.
I didn’t do any sort of prepping…. just started to slab it on
oh, I also had the dress on mannequin dress form covered in garbage bags
