Halfway between the gutter and stars

Gift sketch for one of the winners of my 2000 watchers raffle on FA- their character Zajira!

Bigger preview of Ginger’s new ref sheet. Giving her back her kangaroo rat like feet sort of

Thanks :)

Updated reference sheet in the works for Ginger. Very rough inks.

Just feeling very uninspired lately.Sorry for the shitty photoshop filter but I was bored. My drow character Brielle

I haven’t posted in a while. Lots of personal family business and job searching is taking up a bit of my time. Here’s a human Ginger sketch I did today.

Not to sound lame, but I wanted to say that you're inspirational as a person. I left the whole art scene years ago (guess it was more like a teenage fad for me), but I ended up on your blog when I got into WoW. Short story, we don't know each other, but I admire how you seem to be following your dreams career-wise. I'm also jelly that you live in TO. <3 I may not be into art anymore, but it doesn't mean I can't appreciate it! Keep it up! Good to say people working hard to reach their goals!

For the anon who asked for Ginger undies <3

Kayiko for Stephanie! I love her design, especially that uber cute hairstyle! Thanks for being such a sweetie!

Are you ever going to put out a comic book or maybe even a graphic novel? I love your style of drawing, and it'd be great to see something story related from you! I know you had plans for a comic a long time ago, and that they kind of fell to the wayside. But you should totally get back into it! Maybe even run a Kickstarter if you need some initial capital for funding a print run? I know I'd definitely contribute!

Heya!

I did have major plans for a comic at one point, but I think at this point the story would need a complete overhaul. I am going back to school for Animation @ Seneca in September this year though and I plan to learn all that I can about sequential art and then some. :) Maybe once I get out I will see, depending on job and such, whether or not a comic can be worked on. Then I’ll think about ways to fund it! Thanks so much for your support!~

I would totally illustrate a response to this if I wasn’t pressed for time. Maybe later tonight !

More Kayiko - yup. Probably got the tail markings wrong, but I will go back and fix them later

Very quick rough drawing of Kayiko <3

A Ginger thing
