Overgrown Doorway Lineart (+photo inspiration)

I have been super inspired by looking through beautiful old doorways, windows, and overgrown stone walls lately.  So I wanted to do a piece based off of one of my favorite images I have come across.  

This is a photo of a door in Côte d'Azur, France.  

As far as the character, I am getting some slightly witchy vibes from her... so maybe some sort of witch apprentic...

Nature's Spell

Hii !  Finally finished this one up!  

aaaaand I think I finally decided on a name for her!  (drumroll).......

I felt like I wanted something short and cute for her name but also kind of uncommon!  
As you guys probably know from past pieces of her, she is a character that started out as a personification of myself.  (I first d...

Aww Mist her her cute under dress!  Eep!  
Okay, now I really want to draw Mist in a bunch of outfits.  Maybe even some modern outfits just for fun.

Growing your Art Business while Balancing a Job

Some artists feel like the only way they will be able to succeed is by taking a big scary leap by quitting their regular full or part-time job to only pursue art.  We hear about some artists who succeed in doing this but going that route is very risky and, let's be real, taking that big leap doesn’t always work out for everyone.  The stories of someone having to pick up the...

The Archer's Journey

The archer had come far on this journey through the lush mountainside, and still had much farther to go.  She knew that she should keep moving, cover as much ground as possible while there was still light, but the pastel colors of the sky, the gentle sweep of the clouds over the forest below, and the soft sounds of nature caused her to stop and take a moment to just breathe and take it...

Monthly Print Previews (Art Pack 36/June)

Thanks for voting everyone!  
The Sea Dragon mermaid actually won BOTH the SFW and the NSFW print polls and I just kept thinking that for some people it might be strange to only get 2 versions of the same print so we're gonna make June a double print and double sticker month!  lol

Art Pack 36 Summary

 Hello hello!  

We are truly getting into summer now!  This month has been interesting.  With my pieces this month I was inspired to experiment a bit more with a little bit of scenery and with a more water color style approach for a couple of them.

Spring Dreams (Naomi Lord DTIYS)

Awwwwww!  These 2 cuties!  I hope you like them!  I must admit that I was tempted to try writing a little snippet for this piece but since they aren't my original characters, I decided to just let the art speak for itself.


Thanks so much those of you who popped in and hung out on the twitch streams!  It was nice working on this with company.  :)

Sea Dragon Mermaid

Finally a mermaid!  
Once I finished, I realized that she really reminds me of a sea dragon!   I kind of love how her design turned out.  Violet with gold is always a winning color combination.  

Also, for those of you that are based in the Pacific Northwest, the little background islands with the trees are totally based on that area of the world.  When I...

Marketing Yourself as an Artist

I find this is one of the toughest things about being an artist.  Often as artists, we don’t really enjoy marketing ourselves and it isn’t something that comes naturally to most of us.  But it is absolutely necessary, especially if you are trying to make a living off of your art online.  So let's talk about some tips that I have learned over the years from bo...

The new resident mage-hermit

🌿The elven mage sighed as she sat down on the rickety wooden bench that rested against the wall outside the small cottage 🏡.
Could it really even be called a cottage? Honestly the hut was kind of a shit hole... a little shit hovel on the outskirts of a tiny, middle of no where village. But it was hers.
