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!

Got a lovely package today, from a very talented artist and good friend, Mr. Cummings! It was full of all sorts of goodies!

Tons of candy, Evangelion chocolates and a Cat in the Bag (?!)

A Gundam Zaku II Cup of Noodles with reusable cup! o_o How…did you know–? I can already hear Bikkuri-san serenading me with Char’s image song as I dig into the curry ramen goodness. (which isn’t great eatin’ music, btw)

The coolest (to me) a gold G-pen. Since gold is a more flexible metal than steel, it give greater to pressure when you draw. Or- so I hear. It’s so awesome I may never use it!

Speaking of awesome, so is Cummings-san!! Visit his DA, hell, commission him cuz he’s well worth it! Thank you, Cummings-san!!

Hey doods. I know I haven’t been very active on here lately, I must admit that my mind has been elsewhere. But I finally set myself up a little shop at Etsy.com and now I can sell prints! I have one new piece and a few older ones up there, I’m hoping to put up more if things go well, but right now I’m just sort of testing the waters.
Ok, so here’s a making-of for one of my prints, the Chinese New Year/Valentine’s Day pic I had previously mentioned:

And here’s the link to my etsy shop!

Is it just me or has this year been off to a strange start? The month’s almost over and I feel like I haven’t hardly talked to anyone..or read anything..or gotten out of the house at all… I’ve felt like I’ve been in a void between Dec 31st and Jan 1st. I’ve been working on my manga pitch all month trying to get it done ASAP, and I guess it’s kinda like holding your breath, getting ready to start on the rest of your life, you know? Actually, I feel like I’ve had a lot of stuff to be anxious about lately. So even though I am pretty nervous about getting this manga pitch finished, I’m grateful for the actual ACT of drawing the manga itself because it’s very therapeutic. Even though it can be stressful at times I truly feel at peace with myself when I’m drawing, as corny as that sounds. It makes all the troubles go away~

Anyway, that’s what I’ve been up to. Now that I’m getting a bit closer to finishing it, I’ll see about posting more regularly! I’ve got a lot of half-finished illustrations laying around. Oh yeah, and that slightly belated new year’s pic..gotta post that next time.
