Almost 2 years later...

3 min read


I have not been on DA, rather I've been avoiding it. It reminded me that art used to be a huge aspect of my life, I wasn't whole if I wasn't creating something new. When I came to the conclusion that I can't hope to get into the art/entertainment industry with my skill set and that there are other options out there to make a living, I was devastated but I was fine with it.
Or at least I thought I was OK with it.
Recently I've been getting more free time with my new job, so I picked my tablet out of the corner of my room and started drawing again. I can't tell you how it just instantly filled the void that's been in my heart, the feeling of finishing a picture again. I want to make art a part of my life again, regardless whether or not I can make a career out of it. Long story short, I learned that you can't just quit something that makes you happy.

Changed my username, it's about time I grow out of that lol. Will be deleting/moving most stuff into storage. Starting over fresh!

So hey guys, what have you been up to?

I've moved out into a townhouse with :iconsrsrazzmatazz:. I still don't have internet, besides mooching off starbucks and barnes&noble. I still tons of requests/commissions/exchanges to draw and I will get to them once things calm down a bit here. Just letting you guys know that I haven't forgotten/still alive :)

Thank you for all the submissions, I've received  a lot more than I expected. And having to choose from so many wonderful options wasn't easy either, but I've come to my conclusions *drum roll* :w00t:

The winner of a full body colored piece goes to :iconindustrialcomics:
The winner of a full body black/white piece goes to :iconpainted-flamingo:
I will contact the winners via note.

Thank you to the rest for participating, I might do a another one of these contest in the future so just stay tune and enter again :D If not you know where my commission info is yummy-twinkie.deviantart.com/j… ;)

And you will have to wait until I submit the finished pieces to see the characters (if the winners allow for it), so be excited~

Read it if you haven't. Send in your character description and the most interesting character will get a free full body drawing by me :) It ends today at midnight (central time)! I'll submit a journal at midnight with the winner(s) ;)

Free original character art contest!

2 min read
I want to expand as a character illustrator so I'm hosting a small contest to see who can send me the most intriguing original character description. The winner, chosen by me, will receive a free character illustration. It will be monochromatic but if I'm feeling generous/ambitious or if I really like your character then I will go ahead and do a full color job. Note that I'm giving my service FOR FREE here :XD:.
This is only for original characters. I will post the results after the deadline.


sample (monochromatic) --> Elesa by ThuyLTran
sample (colored) --> Bard by ThuyLTran





DIRECTION

    If you are interested then send me a note titled 'Contest', include your character's name, physical attributes, clothing, background story...yadda yadda all that good stuff. It is your responsibility to send a good, organized and most important of all, interesting character description so I won't help you out here.
Make sure your background story is about a paragraph/~8 sentences. I don't want to read a novel so keep it simple, please.
    The only thing I ask in return is the permission to post the finished artwork here on DA. I will credit you and include a link to your page.

    CONTEST ENDS AT MIDNIGHT APRIL 15th.

    But if you are interested in commissioning me without all this hassle then feel free to refer to my journal.
