I made a map! This world is huge! I don't have a name for it yet. And naming the places on it should be fun. WHen I drew the basic shapes it was much simpler at first, then the extra bodies of water changed the geography quite a bit. I'm proud of it though. It looks good :). Any name ideas for this world would be greatly appreciated. :) *UPDATE* This world is called "Kismet"

Which, apparently, doesn't cost that much.

The beginning of a complicated relationship.

Cute.

So, I have been a little preoccupied with life. I haven't truly updated this blog with a full-blown illustration in ages. Truth be told, I am struggling with a little bit of artist's block and some fear that I've lost my touch. I've been more focused on tinkering with 3D and photomanipulation than painting. I have a lot of ideas in the way of my writing that I want to develop more, but I think I'm a bit overwhelmed with all my unfinished projects and trying to balance it with my life now. Let me be honest, I have NEVER actually had a full time job. Ever since I graduated college, in 10 whole years, all of my jobs were part-time or I was working freelance. There were a few times in between when I was working pretty much every single day, but there were opportunities in both instances for me to work on my artwork on my computer during work hours (how lucky was I?) Now, I am working 40 hours a week and I don't want to make excuses because I could set asi

With and without a Dragon

My love is your love, your love is my love.

From dust we come, and to dust we shall return.

Can't decide which one I like better. :/

Daphne and Hera from the Greek myths.

This is me time! But you take all day.

Hey baby I dunno who the guy is, but he was kinda cute :3

So the HoB crew is talkin revival. I went ahead and update Ms. Boogie. 10 years has passed. Her hair has gotten long and she dyed it purple :3 Due to some troubles in the past, she  has become more health conscious, holistic, and spiritual. She's not the same wasteful, spolied brat of the past and I wanted to show her progess. I haven't painted in so long, I was wondering if I'd improved... but all I can say is I haven't gotten any worse, lol.

I like myself. I even love myself. But I like myself better when I look awesome. Sometimes I look in the mirror and I think I look so pretty, and then I go to take a selfie and my camera makes me look busted. Is it the camera or is it the AI in the phone? Doesn't matter. Since I know how to use Photoshop, I don't ever have to look ugly. Or small. Or weak. Or unhappy. I can be perfect, so I am.

You seriously trust this woman? I hate that preparing this render took the better part of the day. Between loading and dressing the figures and then trying to get the poses and lighting right, it just ended up being really time consuming. That being said, I do love how it came out. When I seriously begin to pursue a narrative comic I think I will go with a total 3D style for this story which still has no name. Anyway, I wanted to remake an old work just to remind my 32-year-old self that the child in me is still alive and well as she always was. I enjoy the 3D aesthetic, but I don't want to lose my digital painting style, so I have decided that The Renegades will maintain a composite look, with both painted and 3D elements, while this one and possibly one other fantastical story I have been working on and off forever will be mainly 3D. I really like how it turned out after all! ^_^ Of course we must give respect to the original! LOL I think it's a nice upgrade, and the

My first post in over 3 months. I was out of commission for a while because I moved to South Korea. Yeah, It seems out of the blue but, so far is proving to have been a good decision for my life. Anyway, I finally got a new PC so here's an updated Niyati. I never was happy with her 3D counterpart or even the edited version , but this is much better. He essence is captured much more accurately this time. Here are Kayli and Farren just to complete the set.

Friendship is Magic.

Sometimes I crush on people and it's intense. I just wanted you to know... I hope you don't think I'm creepy and weird.. like Satan... Shit. Well that's the old name... I'm not him... Anymore. Shit. What I'm saying is I don't have an evil bone in my body...yet. Shit. Okay, yeah, no, I'm done. And this is the only place I'll be posting this because I like my secrets as much as Faust likes Mephistopheles.

Like a month ago, I posted a status on Facebook that read "I finally know who my real father is." and it was all esoteric n shit. He likes my dark sense of humor and the fact that there's no irony in my hellish torture tactics and my swift judgment in execution. (Do I know this for certain?) Certainly. But I can't prove it out loud, nor would I want to. Our inside jokes are quite twisted.  So here's a nice picture of us having a tea party.
