SketchBlog

2012 in (digital) art!

I did some interesting stuff in art last year. I think I really leveled up in colouring, at the very least. In addition to all of this digital stuff, I managed to completely fill two sketchbooks last year, one in pencil from January until August, and the other entirely in ink from September until December.

Although my traditional art remains largely original, most of my big digital projects this year have been fanart. I’m hoping to do less fanart and more original stuff digitally in the coming year, as I feel as if digital art is where I really shine! I also hope to complete more traditional stuff in different mediums this year as well!

LADYSTUCK…. REVEALED!!!

Head on over to Ao3 to read Wipeout, a Meenah<>Latula illustrated story I whipped up for bramblePatch for this year’s LADYSTUCK!

This is the only piece of fanfiction I have ever written and published on my own, as I am usually much more collaboration-ly inclined… but it turned out pretty well! I hope you all enjoyed it! The written contents of this story are much more like a collection of pithy one liners surrounding the pictures, rather than anything actually pertaining to a narrative talent, but it is still pretty rad as Meenah and Latula are super duper fun to write for! Overall, it contains three short chapters and 11 illustrations of varying quality, so it’s not too long a read! Check it out!

If anyone is interested in seeing the higher-res versions of the images (as they’re about 1/3 of the drawn size on Ao3), I’ll be sure to upload them either to here or to my art blog sometime later this week!

A big shout out to my good bud Pel who helped me steamroll through the final version while I cried at her over skype for five hours. Without her gentle words of illustrative encouragement, this story would not have been possible. Another big shout out to bramblePatch for giving me a wicked cool prompt to work with! And a final shout out to my gift giver, Laraloopy, who drew me this awesome Ms. Paint picture!

Thanks again, Ladystuckers! You guys are the raddest!!!
