Well, Pip is my cute little bb gnome sorcerer, and I love her. So, she is the cutest to me.
I've spent a lot of time in this specific D&D campaign, so I'm attached to her. She's a little ...

The past 2 summers I've taken some whitewater kayak lessons on the Nantahala River. The first lesson was a 1-day class to get you acquainted with the boat and have some confidence to paddle down the ...

I love Klimt paintings. There's something about them that is particularly appealing to me. I find myself inspired by his painting pretty frequently, as is apparent by the front page of my ...
Klimt Inspired Watercolor Painting: Blue
I haven't seen the new Power Rangers movie yet. I feel like the reviews have been mixed. People who watched the old series generally liked it, but critics seem to hate it. I'm sort of the latter, but ...

You do know Inktober, don't you? Jake Parker started this drawing initiative that takes place in October. Basically, you make an ink drawing every day of the month. He has prompts, other people make ...

Yes, I know. I fell way behind on my posts. I would say I was distracted, and that might be true, but there's no good excuse. To be honest, I just get behind on scanning things in, and then the queue ...

I updated my Youtube with this Bulma drawing! I was pretty excited to get a Cintiq, so I tried it out with some Dragon Ball/DBZ fanart. This version of Bulma is from Dragon Ball, because I think she ...
Fanart Friday: Bulma from Dragon Ball
Stranger Things. It's pretty good, eh? I enjoyed it. I even started a second watch-through, even though I just binged it maybe two months ago. That's okay. I don't mind.

It's Wednesday. You need a mid-week pick-me-up.

Squeak is special to me. She's my first real D&D character. She's a bit of a goody-goody. I've realized that she's actually a nicer person than I am. That's probably not a good thing. I wasn't ...
D&D Character Art: Squeak, the Gnome Cleric
My naming scheme has evolved into coming up with cutesy names for the ladies I draw. This should've always been an obvious way to name my art, but I've been having fun coming up with some of the ...
Marker Drawing: Pearl (not Steven Universe Fanart – Sorry! :( )
Say hello to a mega-80's fashion inspiration. It's too much, I know. 80's aesthetic is so bad, but so entertaining. I can't help but kind of love ...

Time for some more bonus art on this lovely Saturday. Spoopy art. Not quite spooky, but sort of. I think that is an appropriate category for some of these ...

I doodled a derpy Sailor Moon in an old sketchbook and had been wanting to do a slightly better version of it. It's still derpy though. ...

I've mentioned previously that I enjoy demon girls. Devil Girls. Horned girls of any sort. I draw them. I pin them. They're great. I'm pretty sure this drawing was inspired by a small sketch of a ...

This was a fun drawing. I wanted to do a variation on a drawing I had done previously (seen in this sketchbook video actually). The original drawing was from a random reference, primarily with ...
Mildly NSFW Marker Drawing: Crimson (No Nudity)
I think this image is another example of my scanner woes. When the skin tones scan in weird, I definitely have the most trouble fixing them.
I call this a fashion illustration. I don't know if ...

My scanner seems to have an issue with reds/yellows. I have to spend quite a bit of time fiddling with the images in Photoshop, especially if they are very warm pictures. It's a bit frustrating, ...

I have a fondness for octopi, squid, nautili, and the like. Yet, I don't draw them very often. They are all so cute. I should really do more drawings involving them. At the very least, more ...

Although this is really early in my sketchbook, I still really like the way she came out. She's pretty cute. My only drawback about it is that I ran out of gray mid-way through her shirt. I swear, I ...

I've been slacking on scanning in drawings from my sketchbook recently. I had some free time though, and finally went on a scanning spree! One of the first doodles in my most recent sketchbook (which ...

Another day of feeling frustrated, another day of needing to express it via art. This was actually inspired by a picture in my sketchbook a while back where I had scribbled mindlessly where a ...

Sometimes when I'm feeling down, I have to paint or draw in a way that feels similar. Obviously, I was feeling frustrated/upset here. And somehow, this came out better than I could have ever ...

Every time I look at this picture I think of Daniel Tosh saying "High Fashion". It's not particularly oddball high fashion, but I just can't get him out of my head.
Also, another use of that gold ...

Sometimes I get the urge to just do something super simple and purely for the purpose of sketching out the fashion elements of something. I am definitely not a fashion designer or a fashion ...

I picked up this metallic gold Sharpie a while back, and I used the heck out of it. I've really enjoyed it. This was just one of my random doodles with it that I actually ended up ...

I keep mixing my marker drawings with watercolor in some way. It's fun and I enjoy the softness of the watercolor backgrounds.

Sometimes you just have to paint how you are feeling. Or at least let your annoyances/sadness/emotions inspire your art. Sometimes jobs suck, especially when you feel under-appreciated.

A byproduct of binge watching Sailor moon is ultimately drawing fanart from it. Usagi plants herself in your brain, and you think about her transformations and her love for Mamoru and little chibi ...

I've been trying to work my way through all episodes of Sailor Moon. It's taken a while, because the series follows it's formula so closely that it is difficult to really binge watch them (although i ...

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned before that I have a tendency to draw mermaids more as an adult than as a child or teen. If you crawl through the mermaid tag, you'll see that this tends to be true ...

I think this style is pretty different for me, but I did like it. What was most fun about this drawing was that it was an opportunity to work on backgrounds. I have a tendency to do more simplistic, ...

I've been surprised how much I enjoy doing variations of mermaids. I always liked mermaids as a child, but I don't think I drew them nearly as often as I do as an adult.

Amidst my Copic Marker experiments, I discovered that freckles are wonderful. I'd never thought to include freckles in a drawing, mostly because my art has always been so simple that it wouldn't have ...

Again, this is another drawing where I was just having fun with the flow of the lines and trying to play around with that. I actually like they style a bit here. It's different from my norm, but ...
