I’ve been eating a lot of sushi the past couple months.
Mainly because my mom has a sushi business now. But what I really want is some castella, because I haven’t had some in forever, and because of Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei or “Tatami Galaxy”, which is one of the coolest shows I’ve seen in the while. That’s saying a LOT, seeing as Bakemonogatari and DRRR! easily fall into that category as well… But I just wanted to mention it because it JUST started, and I want everyone to see it cuz it blows my mind.

So yeah, I’ve been working a lot and watching cool shit when I can. I hope I can find the time to draw more fan art soon!! XD

The 100 sketches project has been quite the undertaking for me, so I kinda neglected to make an updated post about the short story anthology that I’m a part of, “The Midnight Tea Party“.
The story I illustrated, “The Boys Outside My Window” is currently up on the site, and new pages are added regularly! Here are a couple to get you going:

Now that I’ve officially passed the halfway point on this 100 sketches project, I just wanted to post a brief bit about it. Well, I mostly wanted to take a little time to thank everyone who has helped me out by getting a commission, it really has gone way better than I would have expected. I thought that 100 sketches would be too much for me, or by #50 I’d be totally burned out on it, but in fact, I feel like I’m still just getting started. Each commission has proved to be a mini challenge in creativity, and I feel really energized and refreshed by the project as a whole.

This is what a stack of 50 sketches looks like!!

So yeah! THANK YOU! Thank all of you so much for giving me such fun concepts to sketch, and thank you for being so patient with me! I had to make a trip out of town for a couple days this week and it’s slowed me down a little bit, but I’m trying to keep up the pace! I also wanted to say that I’ll be mailing out the sketches for everyone who asked to have them shipped to them (finally!) as well as catching up with sending hi-res files via email. Thanks for waiting on me. And if anyone loses their copy of a sketch in the mail, please let me know as I’m keeping hi-res files of ALL the pictures just in case.

Ok! That’s it from me! Thanks again everyone, I look forward to the second half! UOO!!

Hey, want to help a fellow artist out? Well, I’m in desperate need of funds, so..

I’m doing 100 sketches, $10 a piece!

Yippee~

These sketches would be 1 character only, full-body or bust-up sketches, no backgrounds.

Check out some examples:

GUIDELINES:

- The sketches can be fan pics or of original characters.
- All payments must be made up front.
- I accept paypal, check or money orders.
- I’ll send you your sketch by email and it’ll will be scanned at 300dpi so that you can print it out if you like.
- If you would like the original sketch, I’d be happy to mail it to you, but I’ll need an extra $5 to cover shipping.
- All sketches will be scanned and posted on DA as they are finished.
- Since I’m going to be working quickly, I’m not willing to nit pick at sketches once they’re finished. Unless something is VERY wrong, what you get in the end is what you get.
- I hope you’ll understand, but I must reserve the right to reject any concept for any reason. (I will not draw furries, so don’t ask.)
- These images are for PERSONAL use only.

To place an order, email me (preferred!) or send me a note on DA that includes the following:

Subject: 100 Sketches Commission
– Your name
– Your payment method (paypal, check, or money order)
– Address to send the original sketch (if needed)
– Whether you want a full-body or bust-up picture
– SHORT description of what you’d like. Links to reference pictures are always great!

Thank you thank you thank you so much!! (´；ω；`)

I just finished watching the slightly demented Olympics closing ceremony. That was a lot of bad music right there. I’m very sad that the Olympics are over, though! I usually don’t indulge in things that the entire nation stands behind like American Idol or Lost or whatever…but I actually really like watching the Olympics when they roll around. So I’m totally sad to see it go. Especially since I didn’t nearly get my fill of the aerial skiing competition, or as I like to call it, Super Flipping. Super Flipping is so rad, they fly like 100 gabillion times higher in the air than I ever could. I so wish I could do that.

Anyways…so I haven’t just been watching America win gold medals the past couple weeks, I’ve been working, too. I’m doing the artwork for a short story for a project called The Midnight Tea Party. It’s an anthology of spooky short stories by various artists. Here are a few sketched out pages from “The Boys Outside My Window”:

I’ll post some more once the inks and tones have been approved. “The Boys Outside My Window” won’t be out for a bit longer, but you can go to The Midnight Tea Party’s page to read the first short story, “The Witch’s Scissors”.  Laters!
