I bought a 12-pack of cool grey Copics off of Amazon Japan, which is awesome by the way, they let me pay at the door.
Original character – I might do something with her later.
Ygritte from Game of Thrones.

The colours really stressed me out on this one but I’ve finally thrown in the towel. Maybe one day I’ll revisit it.
Enjoy!
I’ve moved on from a crippling Skyrim addiction to an equally crippling Mass Effect 2 addiction. Needless to say, between them, I’ve been fairly unproductive (unless you count stopping the goddamned Collectors and getting into Garrus’ extra-terrestrial pants, productive!). However, last night, I put away the video games to create…
…more video game-related art!
I’ve had a craving to revisit my favourite green-tunic’d hero – so I vented these feelers with some pleasing results! New shading techniques inspired by my artist-mentor Adrian.
This series, particularly Zelda: A Link to the Past and Zelda: Ocarina of Time, conjures happy memories of gaming with my father into the wee hours of the morning (or at least, past my bedtime). Lately, I’ve had a hankering to tackle them once more. So when my monthly salary came in, I popped onto Amazon and purchased Z:OoT 3DS. It’s about time too! So far the only 3DS game I own is Harvest Moon: Tale of Two Towns.
Speaking of dapper and green, I bought my first dress on the Internet from Modcloth. I found out about it through my comic book lady-hero, Kate Beaton. I’m pretty sure if I ran into her wearing the same dress, it’d be a nifty conversation piece. We’d probably bond over our mutual style and become besties. JUST LOOK AT THOSE BUTTONS! I’m stressing that it might not be the proper size, but Modcloth offers exchanges and returns even to Japan.
Speaking of Japan, I’m officially here until the Summer. I’m excited to enjoy another Japanese spring.
Another banner commission for Press2Reset podcast!
Listen to the episode as you enjoy this glorious tribute to Sailormoon and cosplay!

Expect a blog and some art in the next couple of days. If you can’t wait, here is some Zelda art on my Tumblr (+follow and reblog would mean the world to me! You know, if you want to.)
Goodnight folks! Or good morning if you’re on the other side of the world!
Here is some artwork that I did for my friends over at Press2Reset, particularly the podcast crew.
On that note, I am taking commissions again, so if you’re interested, click on the tab above and drop me a line!
So Skyrim happened – but so did some art! Let me bring you up to speed. (Warning: Some of these contain naked ladies and gratuitous beards!)
This badboy is my first attempt at inking and colouring by hand rather than digitally.
I drew some naked ladies – I was practicing different body-types and poses.
This isn’t the last time you’ll see her.
Anyways, I’ve been sketching a lot more lately but finishing up a lot less. I’ll upload more in a couple of days.
I need to put more pressure on myself to produce art daily. I found an old diary from 2009, aside from realizing that I was a silly girl, I also noticed that my art has improved exponentially since then. The reason: drawing EVERY day! I’ve kind of slacked off a lot lately, really disheartened by losing the attention of my most encouraging friend. However, in losing one friend (hopefully it’s temporary), I’ve gained four new friends who are really helping put the wind back in my sails. Ideally though, I’d like to be someone who is confident enough to stand alone when I need to. Anyways…
I drew some cute sushi today.
Unless you’re a shark racist – you know who you are….
This is my second attempt at pixel art.
It’s not quite right yet. Already I can see what I can do to make it better :)
What do you think of the colours? She needs a name too. You’ll see more of her in the, hopefully, near future.
I have known the taste of salt water, and the smell of decaying forests, and the cracks in hundreds of sidewalks. I have loved the gas pedal, and the airport concourse, and the ever-changing time zones. In all these places, I thought I could find a home in not having one; I have chased the sun across the sky so many times, not yet ready to admit, you never catch up.
I don't know who wrote this, but I'd like to meet them and be their friend.
