I think she’s finished. I’m calling her finished. Putting the pen down and calling it done. I might do more with the background later.. but she’s done for now.
I give to you Ballerina Rabbit, inspired by the amazing mightythesaurusrex

I needed cute sharks today, so I made cute sharks <3
This is the cosplay/modeling page for Alyxx Constantine, whose world revolves around fictional…
Look! I finally made a page specifically for my cosplaying and modeling! Also, I’ve been revamping my Model Mayhem account so it’s a bit more welcoming and up-to-date.
This morning I cranked out the initial design for mentholambutol's femme!Riddler cosplay! :D
PAYPAL IS TRYING TO SLIP THE RUG UNDER US. Or they may have said this and just no one read about it or noticed/knew.
OKAY SO BEFORE YOU SEND ANY MONEY FOR THAT AWESOME COMMISSION YOU WANT TO BUY FROM THAT AWESOME ARTIST. PLEASE STOP AND READ THIS.
Paypal changed the look of how you will fill out information and send money. Thus, you need to be super careful. Don’t go all willy nilly through and be like “Yeah yeah yeah send” you need to stop when you see this screen right away.
Before you proceed, you will first notice one major thing: your address is showing. What you need to do if you are ordering a DIGITAL WORK (aka, it is being sent to you via the interwebz) is you need to click on your address and there around be a drop down menu of 3 (or more) options:
No address needed
Your Current Address
+ Add a new shipping address
Be sure to select “No address needed”, it is very important that you do. If you leave your address in there, Paypal will assume that you are to receive a physical package. A physical package which needs proof that exists physically. Paypal will want the artist to provide shipping labels and tracking info on said package. This is bad, very, very bad. Artists can get in trouble if they cannot provide these things.
Please, if an artist asks to send you back your money so that you can send it again correctly, do not be offended. You are paying them to do your commission, how can they do your commission with no money?
Reblog this, send this around, if you want to make a proper tutorial go ahead, I hope this was clear enough as it is.
Blue petrol flame makes the jukebox scream~
This has been sitting around waiting to get finished for at least two months, probably more, but I'm glad I waited til now to finish it. I don't have much to say other than wow did that chest panel give me a lot of issues and I am so happy with how this turned out.

A recent (and belated) commission for ohpierre!
Pin-up and boudoir style portraits are currently available for just $40! There are three Valentine's Day slots available right now, but they probably won't last long.
Do you know of a safe SAI download? Could you link me pretty please? Xx
The link that I downloaded my copy of SAI from is long since gone, unfortunately. Sorry :/
BUT, you should check out Mischief if you're looking for a drawing program. They've got a free version and a paid version that is only $25.

To be honest, I really am not a fan of beaches…. the sand is coarse and gritty, and it gets everywhere! Not to mention how corrosive that salty ocean air is…. my poor gears may never be the same.
Reblurbing for the morning crowd...
A very small preview of the lineart for a very adult-themed commission for rubitchcube
The finished piece will be uploaded to my brand SPANKING new NSFW blog, aptly called alyxxthensfw (feel free to go follow it, despite the current lack of posts or theme), with a SFW preview posted here with a link to the full version.
Also a reminder that X-Rated Commissions are temporarily open, send me an ask or an email at [email protected] for information on rules and rates! :)
An example of one of those holiday-themed OC portraits you can get your hands on this weekend for just $15! The dimensions are 8x8, 300ppi, inked with full color/shading. You choose what kind of background you’d like (festive wallpaper, seasonal scenery, etc). Any type of OC can be drawn, be they humanoid, anthropomorphic, mechanical, or any derivative thereof.
If you’d love a seasonal portrait, feel free to send me a message on here or to my email ([email protected])!
Lockbot (aka Hemlocke) is the property of lockwiththehorns
Needs to get off Tumblr and do the arts...
Also, for aaanyone who's interested, I'm doing $15 holiday themed OC portraits today through Monday. Just send me a message here or shoot me an email ([email protected]) for the details!
Happy Halloween, my darlings!!

I NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO MY BUSINESS EMAIL ([email protected]), AND UNTIL I REGAIN ACCESS TO THAT ACCOUNT, I WILL BE USING MY BACKUP EMAIL ([email protected]). This has been a PSA.
Hi! I'm Opekui, the one from Lock's stream. I was wondering if you could give me advice or tell me a little bit about vending. Recently I've been thinking about how it's time for me to start getting my work out there. I'm an artist, I love to draw and create more than anything. Now I think it's time to get a table at a vendor hall and sell my stuff. How hard is it to do? How much money would I make the first time? Is it a long or small process just to get a table? How much money does it cost? <3
Hey Opekui!!
You’d be surprised how often I get this sort of question, and the only honest answer I can give is “it varies”. It varies based on the venue, the promoters, the predicted number of attendants.
At my first con, I barely broke even, but that was because I traveled half way across the state for it and it was a rather large con, so the table fee was pretty high; I pretty much lived on snacks that I bought at Kinkos whenever I went in to restock on prints. My second con I didn’t even break even, because once again it was a very long trip just to get there, I was staying in a hotel, and it was mostly the wrong crowd for my work.
That said, the only way to really find these things out is research. As far as the long game goes, scout out local conventions, talk to the artists at the conventions you’re interested in working at, get in touch with promoters, figure out your genre and look into niche conventions, as well. And browse convention websites! All conventions should have their artist alley and vendor hall information posted publicly, so artists and vendors don’t have to jump through more hoops than necessary. If the info isn’t readily available, there will be phone numbers and email addresses for getting in touch with the folks in charge.
And, honestly, don’t be surprised if you don’t break even your first few times around. It’s an investment in learning the ins and outs of the industry.
Oh, also, when you do get a table, ‘GOPHERS’ ARE LIFE SAVERS. Make sure you’ve got a reliable assistant who is able to make sure you’ve got stock, help you carry things, and man the table when you need to take a break.
For those who missed today's livestream, here's an overview of the process that went into working on the 'original' faceplate for lockwiththehorns' OC "Lockbot".
Ok so I’ve been quiet about this for some time now, and I thought I should break that silence and make this public. (Hey other people are posting art PSA’s, this ain’t new)
We are Artists, We are many
Being a artist on Tumblr alone isnt easy. There are millions of other people doing the exact same thing you’re doing. Amongst all of them you can be overlooked so easily. Now I am familiar with all those PSAs about not worrying about being popular and loving your own art. Thats all well and good, no ones debating that. But we artist want to share our art with the world. We want to show everyone what we can do.
The Wall
When we receive praise and love for our work, thats the best feeling in the world for us. We all have friends, fellow artists or not, that support us. But here on Tumblr, your art might not get pushed out into the crowd. For myself as an example, I get a 1 reblog for every 10 likes on something. And this is only including when I originally post it. When art post is liked, no one else sees it. Likes stay hidden and don’t appear on others dashes. (And yes, some blog themes do show likes, this I am aware)
Likes are good, but Reblogs do a lot more
When someone reblogs your art, a whole new set of people get to see it. Most of them are people who have never seen your stuff before. For example, whenever Carbines Official WIldstar Tumblr reblogs my Wildstar art, I get bombarded with likes, reblogs even follows! But before that, when I post it in the first place, not much happens. Dont get me wrong, I’m grateful I get anything, but feedback and notoriety is what keeps an artist like me going, and many others as well. Now I may understand that sometimes something someone draws isn’t your cup of tea, that’s alright! But even if you show a little interest, a reblog does a world of difference.
Support your friends, Support those who care
I know this is all sounding a little preachy, but it’s something I needed to get off my chest. There are no complaints, there are no orders, just a call out from all us artists. From the big and professional, to the small and unseen. We all want to share our art with the world, and it can all begin with a reblog.
( I dont think I need to say that everyone should reblog this, it goes without saying no?)
reblogging for awareness
This is quite true
