So this was a mini project I thought I'd try out: my first swing at customizing a Switch controller. I kept it simple but still learned a lot; I'll eventually have to go back and sand down some areas and repaint. The paint reacted down at the bottom near the cross and I'm not sure what what happened (maybe too much paint or didn't let it dry long enough?) Either way I'm happy with it as a first shot. <3 For anyone curious, the cross is the Inquisition cross from the table top rpg/video game series, Anima: Beyond Fantasy. . . . . . #switch #nintendoswitch #customcontroller #animabeyondfantasy #anima #bloodcross #inquisition #ttrpg #animagateofmemories #rpggame https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYkKJGBy6n/?igshid=s2fz08nb2wb9

Finally got around to inking and polishing my beautiful @krakendice Mystic Dragon Egg set! 😍 It was a Christmas gift from my wonderful big sis Victoria, and I'm so psyched to use them in a game at last. 💕 These pictures hardly show how shimmery and bright these are. . . . . . #kraken #krakendice #dice #diceset #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #ttrpg #dragonegg #mysticdragonegg https://www.instagram.com/p/CAORMuoA7p2/?igshid=1wfjbryl1jji3

Oil paint and gold leaf; 11"×14" Part of a series in my painting class. :) This portrait is pretty simple, but I'm super proud at how much I've grown with oil paints. ❤ I'm so weak for that Payne's Grey and gold leaf haha ✨ . . . . . #oilportrait #oilpaint #oilpainting #oilpaintingoncanvas #goldleaf #studentartist #artistsoninstagram #georgiasouthernuniversity #gsu #savannahartist #painting #maleportrait #halo (at Georgia Southern - Armstrong Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9uyW2rAzL2/?igshid=1jtq7jlh405k8

"Grief" Linocut on paper, each print is 11"×14" My final project for my printmaking class. This is one of my favorite project turnouts this semester; even though cutting out a contour drawing was a slow process it became rather therapeutic. ☺ The first picture is of the set, the next 3 are scans, and the last is the lino block I carved (I carved each piece separately.) The actual ink color is pewter, and it's difficult to catch on camera or scan but there is a slight shimmeryness to it. ❤ I will definitely need to get better frames with matting for it. In a way it feels unfinished and I may come back to it later. :) . . . . . #linocut #blockprinting #blockprint #artstudent #art #grief #sadness #mourning #georgiasouthernuniversity #georgiasouthern #finalproject #savannahartist #savannahga #studentwork #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #printmaking #contourdrawing #linework (at Georgia Southern University) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5qo3kzA1RR/?igshid=kubd2ir6w4ep

Drypoint Project 12"x8" This picture is of the acetate plate I etched on. :) I liked how my design came out and I wish I could show an actual print of this project. Unfortunately they didn't turn out very well. 💔 . . . . . #drypoint #drypointetching #acetate #angel #sword #fantasy #studentartist #studentwork #georgiasouthernuniversity #georgiasouthern #savannahga #savannahartist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B4k4qaqA1na/?igshid=5ybg820tibk1

Since I'm posting schoolwork I thought I'd go ahead and post my screenprinting work from my fibers class. :) I feel like even though they aren't all perfect, I'm very happy with how they came out for my first time. . . . . . #bee #honeybee #honey #yellow #bandana #bag #pencilbag #teatowel #screenprint #fibers #design #shirt #studentartist #studentwork #cute #georgiasouthernuniversity #georgiasouthern #savannahartist #savannahgeorgia https://www.instagram.com/p/B4QGvT2ICrm/?igshid=1bt8ax8gepitq

Some shibori dyed cloth from class today. I had a lot of fun experimenting with these! Fabric arts is a little different for me, but I love learning something new. :) . . . . . #handdyedfabric #dyedfabric #shibori #shiboridye #fabric #cotton #studentwork #georgiasouthern #georgiasouthernuniversity #savannah #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #learningsomethingnew https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ai0-QAGMJ/?igshid=sfny6v9ubr5f

My first project for my printing class. These things are pretty hard haha!

I know it's been a while since my last post. 😅 I have been a busy bee, dealing with life stuff, but here I am! This is my first ever linocut, and I am beyond pleased with how it came out. I'm thinking it could make a cool bookmark or small print or something. It was a small practice test for a project I'm doing in class. ❤ . . . . . #linocut #blackink #black #practice #art #artstudent #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #dice #dungeonsanddragons #rpg #roleplayinggame #diceart https://www.instagram.com/p/B1uS9WQA093/?igshid=4vjbku2vzv77

Oil on paper, 11"×17" This is my slightly belated Happy Father's Day gift to my Papi! An oil painting of one of his doggies. ❤ This is the first oil painting in color that I've tackled, and I'm so proud of it! I was a little surprised to see how long certain colors have taken to dry (hence the belatedness) but I am still learning. 😉 . Interested in a commission?

Pencil sketch of Blue. Unfortunately I may be making changes to her design as last night's game involved her being gnawed on by lion-ladies, her hair being set on fire, and her finally being struck by an incredible bolt of lightning. My poor girl did not have a good day. 😢 . . . . . #pencilsketch #sketch #sketchbook #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #oc #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #ocart #savageworlds #easttexasuniversity #etu #rpg #rpgcharacter #roleplayinggame #roleplay #blue #blairelockhart https://www.instagram.com/p/ByyBWszgczw/?igshid=1o9hay8nfxcd5
