I've been meaning to do more figure drawing lately, and I thought I could turn it into a fun online art jam/hang out session! The plan is to find references online and work from those. I'd stream my work along with the ref I'm using and you could join in and draw it too. Or use your own refs, anything you want really. Just basically doing some kind of figure drawing. We can do some timed ones and stuff. It's great practice!

The stream will be 18+ since I'll be using nude references as well as clothed. Probably the only time I'll ever have a NSFW stream ha!

Anyone interested? You don't have to be drawing to join. You can always pop in just to watch and chat! I'm thinking probably this Friday evening would be good. Like 6 or 7pm? Let me know what time would work best for you!

My good buddy neonmace just made an account! Her stuff is AMAZING you should really check her out.

She only has a couple submissions atm but you can check out her tumblr for more! http://neon-mace.tumblr.com/tagged/my_art

Do iiiiit.

Gonna be working on zafie's free raffle piece in a little bit. But I will also be taking PWYW commissions if anyone is interested! They will be smaller stuff: sketches, headshot, half body, chibis, derps... and I will get them done in stream! Good to note that these PWYWs will be digital. The raffle piece I'll be working on will be traditional, but if you want a quick commissions I will switch to Manga Studio to work on it! So don't be confused when you first see me working via webcam haha.

The stream will start around 2:30-3pm EST. Hope to see some of you there just to hang out and chat regardless!

See ya soooon.

That's right folks, get 'em while you can! At the end of the year I will be closing my online commissions. Going into 2015 I really want to focus on working on more personal pieces to beef up my portfolio. This is because I have decided to go back to school and pursue a Masters in Illustration. Aaaand this means applying to many schools haha. So I hope you guys understand. :) I'll still be posting drawings here so don't think I'll be completely dead just because I'll be focusing on school.

I'm feeling 2015 is going to be a big year for me... and I can't wait to see what it brings!

Since I updated my page info, I figured I'd update via journal so you all know what's up!

Weasyl
I've had this account for a while but just now revived it.

Facebook
My artist page on FB. I sometimes post WIPs and other art related stuff on there too.

Tumblr
Probably the least active at the moment haha. But I'm working on changing that! :B Good to note that this is also my personal blog so you will get more than just my work on there. Mostly everything I reblog is SFW. The rare occasions that its not I tag accordingly.

The End.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who commissioned me this weekend at MFF. It's a great feeling working on your pieces and getting such positive responses when you come to pick them up. :) It makes my day! I also want to thank you for the financial support. Because of you my husband and I are ever so close to our goal of purchasing a new iMac computer. Which means I can get back into more digital art, have a computer that can actually handle Photoshop (unlike my laptop currently) as to work on our children's book, and I should be able to do livestreams!

So, I can't say it enough, thank you so much! You all are so great. Have an awesome day! <3
