Have that random image you like but don't know what to do with? Make it into cover art for a mix CD your friend made you six-years ago! The text looks better full size.

Day 12: Minerva

2011-11-15T14:02:00.000-08:00

Pokemon Trainer, Minerva. Left her job at Silph Co. to become a Pokemon trainer at the age of 26. Her favorite Pokemon is Xatu. On her left shoulder she has a tattoo of Kadabra's star and squiggly lines (get's mistaken for a 'shooting star!'). Has very little of a love life because she gets mistaken for a man.

30 Characters 30 days

2011-11-12T08:17:00.001-08:00

I'm unofficially participating in the challenge, however none of them look nice enough to share just yet. I actually want to make them look decent...Raul, pictured here, though is the exception. He'll be colored later.

Raul the kyubi, chooses to fight on the human side. Admired for his actions. Has a prosthetic paw thanks to human technology that some of his kitsune brethren frown upon.
Photo of the fox from here. Also, F-yeah bionic dog!!!!

2011-10-24T13:34:00.000-07:00

These suddenly got popular on Tumblr so I jumped in. A nice exercise- Design a human based off of an eel avatar you create.

I'd like to do more.

Sadness

2011-08-17T01:04:00.000-07:00

When you find out your favorite and only podcast you listen too is ending.... You get sad.

Sara Viking

2011-07-08T23:59:00.000-07:00

Inspired by my friend Kevin's words to me, "Do you want a helmet and horns to go with that?" When I pulled out a piece of chicken from my plastic bag and starting eating it as we walked.

Produce

2011-07-06T23:19:00.000-07:00

Hello Bloger. Here's some produce. Can you name them all?

Fuzzy Little Hades

2011-05-29T13:27:00.000-07:00

Hades made from lots of fuzzy things and bits of a plastic fork. Took about 6 days to complete because he had to fully dry between a lot of the gluing. He was so delicate that I had to rely on the glue to hold him together as I kept working on him.

So much fuzz in the plam of my hand. don't worry he has arms!

Hades is so little and he wants outside!

Hades is caught in the coils of a hungry kudakitsune! Oh noooo!

Hades is safe with his friend, Ivan.

Forever alone.

Names.

2011-04-15T18:02:00.000-07:00

Not only did I confuse his name once but TWICE.
.... Doodling in my sketchbook. ...But who is Apis anyway?!

Fun fact: Anubis is my second character to love "comfy sweaters".

It's the red and black you wear.

2011-03-31T13:08:00.000-07:00

Oh man after looking at Annette Marnat's blog...How could I not? I only wish I made the black lines thinner. :/

I want to do more like this, ffffffff!!!

Tumblr!

2011-03-26T16:59:00.001-07:00

99% of the time I forget about my blog....Whoops! Also I got a Tumblr!

MANLY-CORE?

2011-02-16T00:35:00.000-08:00

This reeks of Kim Hui!!!!

Need to take a massive sketch dump!

2011-02-15T20:41:00.000-08:00

Frank! I love her attitude in this. Pen + Photoshop.

It's really big I know but I wanted to get all of it in one! :D Pen doodles mostly of my OCs. Think of it as WHERE'S WALDO?

Drunk and Drew

2011-01-24T00:28:00.000-08:00

A picture I did for the up coming Drink and Draw featuring KEVIN and HOPS. :'D

UPDATE?

2011-01-14T18:41:00.000-08:00

Something I made for Penelope. :D

Queefers!

2010-12-28T21:16:00.000-08:00

LT and Fira being FRIENDS. Fira is Kerstin's character.

Bunny Flip

2010-12-23T08:03:00.000-08:00

Bunnies can do back flips, too.

Snowing...Not.

2010-12-17T19:00:00.000-08:00

About 1/4567890323 the effort went into this as my Halloween picture, but oh well!

Oh and here's a Tengu chick I drew, PINGAS!!!!!

Easy Lover.

2010-12-01T19:56:00.000-08:00

Someday I want to redo this because right now it's just chicken scratch. I got nervous when I was drawing last night. D: That and I was just interested in drawing these clothes...

2010-10-26T15:19:00.000-07:00

Oh yeah. Maybe 9-11 hours photoshop!

Do The Backwards Bird

2010-10-22T13:54:00.000-07:00

Flash version here! It loops! It doesn't have artifacts!

Also my first time using a larger working space. Looks much better!

Heart Breaker!

2010-10-21T21:37:00.000-07:00

From a couple of months ago.

My favorite motif has always been the heart.

Silence Is Golden.

2010-10-21T15:35:00.001-07:00

Something I did a few days ago. Yup yup, it was inspired by the HTC droid mascot. 8D
I really wish I did this at a higher res. so I could print it (STICKERS?). Ahh I could always redo it. :P

A small update.

2010-10-08T01:27:00.000-07:00

Heading off to NYC for a week (no not going to NYCC) for a VACATION~ I think it will go well.

Anyway, last night I did a small, rough Logan comic out of the blue. I was looking at some fan art of him and got inspired! Sorry if it doesn't make sense. It's not really supposed to. I think when I get back I will 'finish'/edit them so it will make a bit more sense?

Sorry for the cliff hanger, HAHA.

Attacked!

2010-10-04T14:05:00.000-07:00

YEAH!!!!!!

Easy as...

2010-09-27T22:54:00.000-07:00

*SHRUGS*

I tried finishing this...I kind of like it...Maybe I'll do another version of it...Because I REALLY like the line art. I want to make it into a sticker.~

Family Values.

2010-09-26T19:34:00.000-07:00

I always find it funny/adorable when someone has a sibling who is bigger then them yet are the younger sibling; especially if they are of the same sex. In case you are really dumb, Logan is implying that he is the older brother. :P

I opened flash to draw something entirely different but, hah!

EDIT:

HAAAAAAAANDS! O_O

EDIT EDIT:

Ghost Land

2010-09-17T17:49:00.001-07:00

A quick something I did last night before bed! No point, just to draw.

Gotta Take a Sketch Dump 2 and 3

2010-09-13T23:34:00.001-07:00

Two huge sketch dumps. I had so many I decided to break it up in traditional and digital! Been accumulating over the past few weeks....

The photos are of a paper kuda-kitsune I made~! Also a paper cut out of Ivan. Blah blah~

After I made the paper kuda-kitsune (technically gitsune but whatever) it inspired me to draw up a sheet of him~ AND PIPE PUNS ENSUED. In my lil'world I treat kuda-kitsune as a type of 'pest' such as how we treat mice or rats; many keep them as pets but in the wild no one likes them.

Yes! A second episode of the previously known CAPS will come out soon. :)

OH YEAH!

2010-09-09T01:25:00.001-07:00

Something I want to work on more. Maybe make it look real nice and turn into a sicker?

paper farts

2010-09-06T22:59:00.000-07:00

2010-08-06T21:55:00.000-07:00

RAIN RAIN

2010-08-05T13:25:00.000-07:00

So I was watching Disney's Hercules (great movie) and I was drawing in flash and then it FROZE. I WAS SAD. I really liked the image but all I managed to save was a screen cap of it selected....Sigh. I liked the half tone look when enlarged so that's why there's like a big zoom of it. =)

Wallpaper time!

2010-07-21T23:56:00.000-07:00

* A* I'm leaving to go home for a week and I'm not bringing my laptop. SO HERE HAVE A WALLPERPER. I dunno what size it is so you'll have to crop it however.

P-CHAT #1

2010-06-25T12:34:00.000-07:00

A Few of the many things I drew in a P-chat session with some friends, including Jessssss.

See, I drew Hops and in the chat I typed "Hope" and I was like WHO IS HOPE? Then Jess proceeded to copy hops and add blonde hair. HAHA.

Bayonetta. :D

Above image inspired Jess and I do do this comic. :D

Mmmmm chicken. :9

Clay Works Update!

2010-06-11T22:17:00.000-07:00

HEY GANG!
Long time no post! I haven't been doing anything exciting...Just working my new job at SHAW'S. Blaaaah.
I'm bored so I will post my clay pieces I made during Clay Works I! It was very fun. :D
Enjoy the horrible photos!

Some of these pieces are for sale! The talon and shell are pretty bad ass! They would look great in your space! I will take better photos of the for sale pieces soon...If you ever want to see what I am selling check the "for sale" tag!

(FOR SALE) A turtle shell! Red clay with glaze.

(NOT FOR SALE) A Hops pencil holder I designed for myself! Red clay with brown slip and another glaze on the inside.

Left side of above. Just showing the texture and color variation.

(FOR SALE) TALON!
Probably my most popular clay piece! Red clay with brown (forget the formal name) slip.

(FOR SALE) LEAF! Red clay with a green Speedball glaze.

(FOR SALE) A clay egg with a weird bird fetus inside! White clay with mamo white and another glaze.

(NOT FOR SALE) A kitsune on a slab of white clay with a brown slip. It cracked in the kiln but it glued it back together with clear glaze. =)

(FOR SALE!)
Okay this is NOT anything I did in clay but still awesome! Bought a ceramic elephant from Goodwill and painted it with ceramic paint. Glued on glitter for the bow using tacky glue. He's really adorable!

KYU?

2010-05-28T18:13:00.000-07:00

Know what? During the whole time I was working on this I forgot my normal routine for painting in Photoshop, hahahaha.

Good story; while trying to remember the name of the ropes (shimenawa, which he is wearing around his neck) I cam across Mărţişor. ....I love red and white ropes!

some small things...

2010-05-27T06:55:00.000-07:00

These are from my newest sketchbook!

Pulled out my Copics and used them on this page. I wish most of them weren't half dead so I could use them more...

ALFADOOOOOOOOOOOR. I was warming up on drawing chrono Trigger fanart.

A WIP. :D

http://saramations.daportfolio.com/

My portfolio (of illustrations) hosted by DeviantART! This feature offered by them is pretty handy. I can only have four galleries and 18 pieces in each so it will be updated with new stuff and replace older stuff.
The biggest draw back is it can not play animations, so unfortunately I will have to link to my youtube page.....

ANIMAAAAATIONS.

2010-05-09T12:48:00.000-07:00

I uploaded a few new videos today to my youtube...BUT FIRST:

I would love to pint out that I HAVE A TWITTER. My goal is to use it as way to talks about my art or WIPs. It doesn't have much use yet....

so here are a few of the uploads....Most of them contain Neko Pan. They've sort of become Saramation's mascot...teehee. Please Visit my YT channel to see more. And Behold a better version of Kevin and Hops!

Don't drop the soap!

2010-04-29T05:42:00.000-07:00

AWWWWWWW CEREZA. ;______;

HAVE THREE VERSIONS OF THE SAME IMAGE:

Skeeeetch!

First attempt at inking it with a brush. I need more practice. :(

Second attempt! It looks more finished because I jumped the gun and did an ink wash in some areas. But you can decide what you like the best!

Inking with a brush is very different than inking digitally, especially when compared to photoshop. You get such a predictable line with a tablet than you do with a brush. And your paper makes such a big difference too...I might do a digital inking of this drawing because I really like it (except for the wonky legs...). <3

That's NSFW...

2010-04-14T20:21:00.000-07:00

B'AWWWWWW. This is all I can update with....Sigh.

EASTER

2010-04-04T12:37:00.000-07:00

HAPPY. Lef to right:

Frank, a tengu, a tanuki, an inaba, and LT! :O Everyone is enjoying Easter but Frank. She's a dragon dressed up as a RABBIT. Grumps.

yay for things with NO EFFORT.

LOBA!!!!!!

2010-04-02T11:00:00.000-07:00

Note how I cleverly covered up the unfinished spots!

Anyway the lines were drawn in my sketchbook, then photocopied, then I colored the photocopy with colored pencils and scanned it.
Puuuuu, drawing Lt always makes me happier. <3

Kyuuuu

2010-03-30T12:54:00.000-07:00

^merged bits.

I didn't intend for this to be LT, I just carried away by making the assecories...One everything is built it can be anyone. *____*

I know, I know. I keep updating with all of these Maya WIPs... D;

2010-03-30T01:43:00.000-07:00

ARRGGHHH 4:44????????!!!!!!
I've been up all day, running on three hours of sleep from yesterday. @_@ And I've spent the past......8+ hours ARTIN' (on my own. Not including what I did during my classes today). It FEELS GOOD. But I'm starting to feel sleepy.

**DID NOT draw the lineart in thiS pic. Just the colors.^^^^***

These are the projects I've been working on tonight...A tengu figure that I started last week) and a coloring contest entry for MR. Toshinho. The orginal is here! Though I just realized the prize is only a year sub. to DA....which would be nice but I thought his art was involved too. Lllooll. OH WELL. I rarely color something nice. The finish piece would look good in my portfolio. Yes I'm coloring with gradients but I don't care. IT'S HARDER THEN IT LOOKS. ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE DETAILS. Maybe I'll do another piece with my "painting style" laterrr.

SLEEP. DDDD;

.....

2010-03-29T14:09:00.000-07:00

CLICK. IT GLITTERS.

An update is an update

2010-03-27T11:33:00.000-07:00

UHHHHHHHHHHH. These don't have any purpose. I just felt like drawing vulpix. The Naruto one is an inaisde joke between Kim and I.
I don't have much to post because I've been busy with LIFE. :[

I also want to post my clayworks pieces...I will eventually.

After a very long hiatus from my dinosaur project, I give you an update! I mean, I worked on it a little bit here and there but...fffff.

No sound yet.

I need to practice drawing fat kids. Also, I'm worried what I'm going to do for the part where the kids are running, I want to uniquely design the kids but animating each one will be hard...and kind of a waste of time (as in, the time I spend on that I could finish the rest of the piece). We'll see what happens. :/

This is an assignment I did for my sequential projects class! The assignment was "5 frame journey" and we had to illustrate a "random" piece of text in 5 frames. I choose a quote from a Chinese zodiac horoscope. :P It was actually pretty fun! I got to use different techniques!

The "cover" is one frame.

The inside of the book. It's four frames. it folds open...I'll take a picture of it once I print it out and construct it. :O Stocks used: This Thiiiiis AND THIS

If you just want to see my art~~

Lastly have these *___*

^^^^OLD MODEL

^^^^REDONE MODEL

Redid it in about 4 hours. @_@ I like it a lot more then the first one expect since it's not done it looks weird lol. And I'm kind of kicking myself for slicing the ploygons too much for the legs. :| And for some reason there's an inconsistency with my ref. pic...even though I drew on top of them -_-;
