Sketch spam!!

I've been working really hard to improve and develop a style of my very own recently. It's a challenge, especially when you're as indecisive as me!! I've decided to share some of the sketches I got around to scanning recently.
It's mostly fan art; I draw a lot of fan art when I'm style experimenting. It helps me see the style, rather than the familiar characters. If you recognize any of the characters, let me know!

I originally wanted to do a different post today, but I decided that it needed more work. ^^ I'm really cracking down on posts, I'm telling you!

If you're curious about more of the complete pieces I've been finishing up lately, make sure you check out my art blog!

How an Artist Figures?

I've been a fan of Frances Delgado's site How a Girl Figures for almost a year now! I love the detailed figure reviews, and try to catch AX Live on Thursdays as often as I can for the latest.
I've wanted to do some justified fan art for Frances for some time now... When she offered  a small crochet plushie on her facebook in return for some fan art, I just couldn't let this chance go! Everybody wins.

The site's mascot: Hanako Sakae! I had lots of fun drawing her and that cute little Sakura figure!!

I haven't been drawing in anime style that much recently, so I hope she looks alright. I might add a nice colorful background before I ship her off to Frances tomorrow. :) She'll receive the original with its proper colors! (stupid school scanner...)

On a more personal level, this small piece has pushed me on the market once again!! I'm offering extremely cheap anime-style commissions. (By extremely I mean like $4 for a personalized full-color chibi....)  You can read all the details RIGHT HERE.
They're so inexpensive because I really need the money, and because anime is just nice and simple to draw. I need all the publicity I can get, so please help me out! I haven't had any takers in a very long time....

As always, thank you for stopping by. Let me know what you'd like to see!

Sad Bumblebees

Kind of grungy, huh?
An illustration in lieu of my tumblr. The title of this picture and the title of my tumblr blog are one and the same. It was my first time drawing such an elaborate frame, and I loved it!!!

I'm not sure what my secret affinity for bumblebees is! I'm just as frightened of them as the next person! Though, I've never been stung... they must like me?

Bonus Illustration!

This is the mushroom monster girl!

She's not very detailed, but that's not to say that I don't like her, of course!! I think she is just darling, though I wish I could've come up with a background!! The main reason behind her creation was experimentation with weird skin tones. I'm not daring enough when it comes to color composition!

What do you think?

Always Art

Sorry for the short hiatus... I have so many blog posts lined up!!! The next few will be about some of the art I've done somewhat recently....

For today, I'm releasing this personal illustration that I've been working to finish for a while.

This is Celei, one of my old role-play characters from back in the day. He's still one of my favorite original characters to this day. I just love his weird mint hair.
There is gold ink all around him (he's cut out and pasted onto a textured green paper), but it doesn't translate well to 2D, unfortunately. :(

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. :) Hope you're all having a wonderful evening.
