out of all the Disney characters...well...maybe Beast too, but he's fussy X3

I've commissioned my good friend miss Gregory to make me a Zero outfit~
there's a picture on DA somewhere that's like, a Zero hoodie...i took that picture a few steps further XD...ok, a LOT further~
it's gonna be awesome, i'm going to find some Halloween Town people from Kingdom Hearts and putz around conventions, so keep an eye out, you may see me

ARF ARF

Recently i've been working on a book cover commission, imagine that right? whilst he's not that out there for a writer, hopefully he'll make it ^^ when i finish the initial sketch and color i'll post it and see what everyone thinks ^^

Meanwhile, please wish me luck with school and of course, thank you for always supporting me in my quest to become an illustrator XD

So another year of Artsplash
( a local chalk art festival i've been attending for the last five or so years)
goes by...
I'm always surprised because every year my art gets better, even though i dont practice at chalk at all x__x
This year i made a three panel elemental picture of some of my old characters that just needed to get a little air =]

Hynruah, Maiaru and Selivie
Wind, Fire and Water

I'll post pictures when i can-

Meanwhile i'm going to be waist deep in homework, this semester is crunch time, CAN I DO IT~!?
gawd x__x i dunno

anyhow, peace and thank you for all the nice birthday wishes ^^
i had a beautiful time on my 21st <3

Hey Friends ^^

So this is September, the start of school, the start of fall...the month of my birthday *w*
That's right, September 24th ^o^ Katch is gonna be 21 .__. omg...
*runs from friends trying to get her drunk* nUUUUuuuu~~~~
*Ahem*
After all that's gone on these past few months i wasn't sure how my "birthday" was even gonna work out o_o seeing as how i thought my family hated me n all that~
It's been improving little by little~

ANYWAY, i haven't quite thought of what i wanted for my birthday yet, just to see friends i haven't seen for EVER would be nice ^^ *hinthint*
So i decided, yeah, i do art for all of my characters but i really never can have enough~

So my birthday request to all of you isssss~~~ draw Katch

of course any character you find in my gallery is fair game as well
Milly and Katch are a main though X3
i love all sorts of styles, and they all go in my photobucket of awesomeness

Thank you for watching me and taking care of my little artistic mind for so long ^^

More art coming soon~

SCHOOL~!!
egads, my third day and i'm already trying to find ways of avoiding it and drawing stuff~
though being here does give me a ton of renewed energy and inspiration. Give some take some i suppose. My life is still a bit rocky due to the sudden change in living conditions but i'm adapting and overall i think it will be for the better.
Thank you to all of the people that contributed to making me feel better and the amaaazing artists that always told me my art was worth it.
I'm trying to actually get more detailed and imaginative in my work, i'll be starting up a series of some sort soon, so hopefully those will turn out right~
if you've got a theme for a series go ahead and shoot =] i'll take all into consideration~
Meanwhile i've been reading a lot of fun books, namely the tail end of Dragonlance and the every imaginative Vampirates series...hey hey HEY, i dont care if it's in the childrens section XD

I might even whip up some fanart, but i have people do art for and school to accomplish >:3

wish me luck~!!

art trades are welcome and awesometastic ^^

Hi all ^_^
so as some of you may know i was pretty harshly kicked outta my house a few days ago-
lucky me my friend

and her family took me in~ now i live in half a room XD haha, ish comfy enough~
I'm looking for a job but it's certainly tough nowadays~

so i'm asking the kind folks of DA to donate to the starving (almost literally) artist that is moi~ anyone that donates more than 10 dollars gets a colored half body =]
ALSO
i'm still thinking i can do commissions =]
5$ sketches
10$ inked sketches
20$ colored sketches

Paypal people send here -----> giernica@yahoo.com

for those that dont have paypal o.o note me and we can figure somethin out~

thank you so much for even reading this XD i'm ridiculous i know, but i still need to get through college and do that eating thing o.o someday...hah XD

new arts coming soon <3

Hopefully i can figure out what's goin on in my life atm XD
but as it happens, i figure i need to start selling my art, yeah, good idea Katch~
I will be staying with friends and exploring this thing called FREEDOM~

Hopefully i can find a job soon, i'm living off my savings e_e *sigh*

So having been to AX, meeting awesome new people, experiencing hell in the coldest of days and becoming a aunt far quicker than i wanted to. I think i'm much wiser in the ways of the world we live in nowadays, i hope anyway. So i've been drawing and hoping some sort of crazy ass inspiration hits me like a roundhouse kick to the face o_o
I have a lot of things up in my noodle i need to get out, i just need the patience to get through all of those ideas~
i've been so busy looking for a job and finding nothing
so busy trying to keep my sanity in a house of fools
and school is coming back to bite me in the ass e_e
dont want it~

but i'll be posting some stuff soon hopefully ^^ new stuffs, hope you will like it~

I'm trying to improve and debut my CG skills later on in the next few months~ Painter is a difficult program but i'm slowly learning how it works~ so many brushes o_e too many really.
I'm trying my best TwT

i need to learn how to market myself, if anyone wants to give me ideas, shoot, i will welcome them :3

ahem, yes~ so because i lost Photoshop and Open Canvas is corrupted *yeyme*
i've got to rely on Traditional and uhhh Painter...which i'm sure is an awesome program but i'm gonna need to read a TON of Tutorials o_o i have no idea how to work the damn thing~

i'm going to AX this year, awesome sauce, and since i'm not staff anymore that means i get more time to putz around and meet people X3 Yeeeaaaah

i'm still trying to scrounge up money so i can get myself more Copic markers to play with ^^ i like those, but they're spensive TwT

so i'm taking commissions before July~
5$ sketches
20$ colored drawings
larger stuff can be arranged but it gets spensive too o_o
i'm doing a painting right now for 200$ these people scare me XD

anyhow ^^ note me if you want to~

*yawn* school tomorrow and i'm stuck drawing a CD cover for my boyfriend XD go figure, DJ's~ <3

OH~ and before i forget, SUGGESTIONS~!! for other art ideas besides KATCH XDD i know you're all tired of her by now~ shoot <3

and there are people that like my work because of the characters that i make up~

either way is awesome, i have 130 people watching me~

...

stalkers~!! XD

aaaanyway, i've decided i'm going to separate my work into two separate accounts~

Merkatch: my main and mostly Katch/Gaia/Random things
Fangloch: the monsters that come creeping outta my noodle at night

\^w^/ i've only just started on Fangloch but go and look anyway- i'm workin on dragons and the like right now~

ciao ciao~!!

I've been trying to work out some things with my art style but mehhhh, i dunno, nothing i do seems to be right~
maybe i should just go back to making monsters XD

Though i was kinda happy with that really uber colorful pixie i made a little while ago, copics are difficult to do that with on the first try O.o
