keep it coming // never done

It's been so long since I've felt inspired to paint something or get into the Halloween spirit..! My thirst is satisfied.. for now...😜

Tetra for the March Character Design Challenge (Legend of Zelda). Windwaker was the first LoZ I finished and she’s one of my favorite (and underrated) characters! 

Finished a commission for the lovely @hannahdrawsart over the weekend! She asked that I design an OC for her: a beekeeper (apiarist) witchsona! I thought it was such a unique idea! I did some research and sketched out a few ideas, which I sent to her so she could pick her favorite aspects and I merged them together into the fabulous being you see before you! Welcome to the world, Pia! Save the bees! >;D  Pia (c) Hannah Diaz @hannahdrawsart 

This was a 20-ish minute speed-paint for @paintwithnick 's IG challenge based off a certain photo! He’s a crazy talented and kind fellow who’s all about helping others and sending out positive vibes! Please treat yourself and take a look at his stuff (including his own interpretation of the photo!)

It’s been a while since I’ve drawn anything for myself! The Pokemon 20th Anniversary and Sun/Moon announcement (and a Sketch Dailies topic) inspired this, but mostly I just wanted to get something loose and colorful done in an hour or less (which I did go over by a bit 😌). On a different note, it's so lovely to see everyone sharing their love of Pokemon and the nice memories that came with it! Hopefully I'll have time to create someting more personal to my Pokémon story! See, mom, it wasn't just a phase.. 🤓

Ooh, never posted this one: It's a mango dessert from 85° Bakery. The mango theme continues!

Teapots for my Prop Design portfolio!

My Hourly Comic for Hourly Comic Day! Learn more about me and a random day in my life than you’ve ever wanted to!

@egomega and I painted a mango delight dessert from 85C Degrees! It’s fun seeing the differences in our painting decisions; you should check his out! And yes, it was deeelicious!

I know it’s a stretch; I just really want sentient hair haha

Finally had time to make a proper tribute to Alan Rickman & the role that meant most to me. JK Rowling told Alan the truth behind Severus Snape at the start of the films and he used that knowledge to truly embody Snape's tortured soul and his eventual redemption. Rest in peace. Always

A set of postcards I designed based off @egomega's snapchat doodle. This is Traveler Buddy! (original, I know) It's my first time creating postcards to sell, but it was really fun coming up with the theme/concept for each one! Writing letters is a fun activity; I tried to make these look cute so it makes you WANT to write and send these off!

Some monkeys I posted on Twitter and Instagram for New Year's using @mikeyamada2 's *free* brushes from his holiday giveaways! (I think they're still available too!) I painted them on just one layer to lower my dependency on adjustment layers and improve my color intuition~ I like how they turned out! May the new year bring all you've hoped for you and your loved ones!

Finally finished my squid ID ( +1 month later... @0@)  Mega rad template created by @superlark and you can even download it here!  I don’t have a NintendoID because I technically use @egomega’s (he did one tooo) WiiU to play, so really, I am just A Fraud™. Anyway this is probably my last personal piece of 2015, which is a good way to end the year I think! <コ:彡~~~~   

And if you’re saying no to yummy soup baths then *you’re* the weird one.

Soo happy to finally debut my Turfwar Zine entry representing TEAM INKLINNGG!! This is the first zine I ever contributed to and it’s such an honor to be among such amazing artists!  Special thanks goes to @turfwarzine ( @cyanatar + @ohmyemi + @thesmai ) for organizing the whole shebang and for the wonderful people who purchased the zine for Child’s Play Charity! 

3 DAYS TIL CTN I AM SO EXCITED RAHHHH
