Fanart Fridays

Here is my second entry for Fanart Fridays. I really like this project, it's really fun. Anyway this next illustration is from one of my most favorite games in the whole wide world, it is ranked #1 to me. I love it so much that I bought the soundtrack, made save points before major cinema sequences, and it is the only game that I have truley beaten. Give it up for Selphie Tilmitt!

Selphie is one of my favorite characters from Final Fantasy VIII. She is smart, funny, and a little crazy. She is awesome ♥

Elena Color

Hey all! Don't think I forgot what today was FanArt Friday! Before I post my next Illustation up, I wanted to post this video I made. It is the coloring process of Elena. It is a bit looooong (nearly 10 min! and the audio is about 1 min shorter than the video) Hope that you all enjoy it.

Fanart Friday

Alright, this is my first fanart friday submission. I am so excited! And nervous... Anywho, you might be wondering "why is she doing this?" Well, I want to get into the habit of drawing what I want to draw. I did not have as much time to create or work on projects I wanted to work on because of school. But now that I have graduated, I have plenty of time. Plus this will help me build a nice collection.

So, here is my first entry... Drumroll please!

It's ELENA~Street Fighter III (Third Strike and New Generation). Elena is my favorite Street Fighter Character. She is so fun! After Elena it's a tie between Chun-li and Cammy. I hope to have the process or "speed paint" video posted up later. I may work on her somemore (forgot her earrings!), but I am pretty happy with how she came out.
Elena is not my character, she belongs to Capcom. I am not claiming her, just drawing her. And the background is from photoshop elements.

Plans and fun and stuff

So it has been a while since I have posted anything...but I have many ideas that I am putting into motion. First of all, I will attempt to post fanart every Friday. It will be called "Fanart Fridays" (how original). I will also post videos on youtube and here (speed painting videos). I have been sooo excited watching everyone elses videos that I just decided it was time that I put one out there. I just felt inspired to do something, even if it is a small something.
Yesterday I watched Acrylicana (Mary) in action. It was so much fun chatting with her and the other people who joined her live stream session. Mary is an awesome illustrator and jewelry/textile designer. She is featured in Digital Artist magazine, she gives readers tips and tutorials. She has some pretty big news she's about to tell us...can't wait.
Also, I am currently working on new items for my shop...I might just open a totally new one and use the old shop as a buying account. Hope to have more on that later.

So yes, expect something some time tomorrow and I hope you have a nice day.

Happy Martin Luther King Day

I just want to wish everyone a Happy Martin Luther King Day! I feel so blessed to live in the United States of America. It is important that we do not take our freedom for granted. There are people who want what we have. Thank you to all who have fought and who continue to fight for our freedom.
