Holiday Tradition

For some it's a holiday tradition to come up with a family photo for their seasonal greeting card. And sometimes, several members of the family can't help but wonder, "Who's idea was this in the first place?" :) Sort of like when you see photos like these here and here.

(And in case it's not clear, those are supposed to be owls floundering around in the snowman.)

Also available on Society6.

Bunnehs, scarfblobs and more bunnehs.

More practice stuff. :p Some bunnies and some scarfblob like creatures still in sketchy mode. :p Not sure what a scarfblob is? Check them out here.

Oh, and I added the second set of pastel bunnies to my Society6 page, if anyone cares to check them out there. :3

Some new sketchy-ish things

Some new sketchy sorts of things.

This is currently my new avatar for DeviantArt.

This was done with the chibi-like pink sketchy pony I posted yesterday.

And this....well, this is a lochness sweater monster. :p I hope you like him. He's sort of shy but really fun to be around. :)

Yes, another pony. :p

Just a random digital sketchy pony. :)

Peacocks in Love

Something old from 2009. :o A pen drawing colored over with cheap watercolors. Have a sister piece to this I'll share later.

Happy Friday!

Just a little something old for your Friday enjoyment. :) I found a whole stash of really really really old pieces the other day, which I plan to scan in soon and share with you guys. :D So you can see if or how much I've progressed over the years. XD Happy Friday! This is a pen and paper traditional piece.

Happy Thanksgiving!

An angry bird's piggy has somehow made his way to my page for the holidays. And it looks like the birds have decided he'd make a good caramel sucker. XD No idea where this thought came from, but I hope you enjoy it. Created in Paint Tool SAI.

Being Thankful

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the US. And while this isn't exactly a thanksgiving related piece, I wanted to post it and share some things I am thankful for. Which is you all. Those who have followed my work, supported it, liked it, helped me improve it. I am grateful and thankful for all of it and all of you. <3 Thank you.

And if you're wondering why this piece, a picture of a bear, would represent being thankful in any way, you should check out Disney/Pixar's latest movie, Brave. It is such a moving, beautiful movie. It reminded me there is so much to be thankful for and that we shouldn't take those we love for granted, no matter how much we disagree or fight with one another. Life is much too short for that.

So, I hope those celebrating the holiday will have a safe, happy day. And those who are not will have a most wonderful weekend. <3

(Note: For anyone wondering, this piece was created in Paint Tool SAI, using a scanned image for the background.)

Cool giraffes

Nothing to see here by a couple of giraffes in sunglasses. ;)

Paint tool SAI painting practice.

Who took all the cookies?!!!!

Poor Angel. Fluttershy really doesn't like anyone taking her cookies apparently. XD Not really sure where this idea came from, but it was fun to draw Fluttershy in such a different characteristic state then her usual sweet self. Kind of reminds me of the episode where they went to the Grand Galloping Gala. XD

Several things to share....

Have quite a bit to share with you guys today. Hopefully it will be worth the overload. :)

First, this is a little piece I created from the Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer classic. If you haven't seen it, you should. It's adorable, even as old as it is. The first layout is my original idea and then, based on a comment from this lovely lady on another one of my pieces, I decided to try it on as a digital ornament as well, which I really liked. :D

This piece I added to my Society6 page. Just something random. :) Been playing around with the 3 dimensional look though, which I really like. Also have some pictures of just the two characters in the piece. They're really the best part of the whole thing. ;)

And finally, because I'm a bit random, I found out yesterday that today is National Button day. And if you know me, you know that I LOVE buttons(Which you can almost glimpse here and here)! So I just had to come up with something new to share. I started out with just the buttons and then thought they'd look better on a pin cushion sort of thing instead. :) Either way, happy National button day1 XD And if you decided to celebrate, feel free to post the link so we can all celebrate with you! XD

Thanks for stopping by and hope you all have a great weekend!

In progress....

A couple of sneak previews of some things I've been working on. :)


And just in case any one wants to keep up with my work in another way, here's some other places to find me at:


Facebook

Society6

DeviantArt

Star designs

Just some random art and color variations. Adobe Illustrator + Paint Tool SAI

Warmest Wishes

I'm always behind on my Christmas cards, that I thought I'd start coming up with ideas early this year. Hopefully this is just one of many other ideas. Still grooving with the circle theme. :)

Girl with the flowers in her hair - polkadot

Another silhouette, this time of a girl with some polkadots and flowers in her hair. :)

More vector work

Some new pieces inspired by these awesome cards.

The blue version of the circle flowers is available on my Society6 page. I think I may revamp the Peter Pan piece. I like it, but it feels too bland. I think it needs some more 'stuff'. LoL!

Happy Friday!

New stuff!

More practice in Adobe Illustrator and Paint Tool SAI. I decided to post this piece up on my Society6 page as I liked how it came out. I hope you all like it, too. :)

Some practice in Illustrator creating icons or website buttons. I like how the top three at the end came out. :)

Something silly for practice. Although I really like the look of these scraggly plants. Illustrator is so much fun to use once you get the hang of it. LoL!

Almost forgot!

*This was created in Adobe Illustrator, however the font was downloaded and created by someone else. I created the rest. I'm using it on my journal entries for DeviantArt.

I almost forgot! I wanted to share something with you guys. If you have an extra Christmas card and stamp, you might want to send one in for this. I'm hoping to get a chance to submit something myself. I think it's for a great cause and if you're a member of DeviantArt, they will even give a premium membership for one month to everyone who enters. But even so, I think just sending a nice card to someone who needs some encouragement is a great thing by itself. Happy early holidays to everyone. :)

Just a little something funky

Just a little something simple I created in Adobe Illustrator for practice. Feel like I'm finally starting to figure a few things out with it finally. ;) Hopefully will eventually be able to use it to it's full advantage.

Pony

Some pony fun for you guys. And if you haven't seen My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic, you should check it out. You'll be wanting to draw ponies of your own, too. XD

The juggler

I guess it's Monday again, so back to juggling everything for the week. ;) Hope everyone had a nice weekend! <3

Random Regurgitation

Just some random practice line art. :p Happy Friday!

Bubbles

Just a bit of practice with more digital art with shading and blending and whatnot. :3
