The Art of Amanda Allen Niday

This my art blog, a place to store all my work without the tumblr stuff in between! Come for comics, illustrations and maybe some fan stuff too

🎵 "You are the song I'm singing, my beautiful Melody!" 🎶

Just like I said last year, #mermay and #mothersday are just too good to resist! So here's part 3 of #Ariel and Melody, swipe for 2020 and 2019

Ariel remains the only #disneyprincess turned #disneymom and i feel there's just not enough #melody and #thelittlemermaid2 content

#happymothersday to all who celebrate it today! To the all the mom's in all forms!!!

I keep forgetting to update my tumblr! Sorry guys! I'll try to update the backlog over the next few days!

[amandaniday]

Over the next few days I'll be posting some of the art I did for the #holidays ! Starting with the ones I know people already received so I don't spoil anything lol

Some @thiscatischonkyofficial fans may recognize ROTUNDA of @capitolrotunda ! She is a big boned beauty with chins for days and a stare that will change how you feel about yourself (for good or ill depends on what she sees in you). Recently, her people brought a second #QuarantineCat into the home, Desdemona! She is normal sized, but we love her anyway

So here's my rendition of ROTUNDA and Desi, two soft gals who make great pals

A gift for one of my favorite small people, who, like all nearly 5 year olds, is totally obsessed with #Elsa ! Love you, Princess E!

Not getting to see her this holiday will be tough for sure, but that's what video call karaoke is for!

Speaking of holidays, if you want to #commission in time for Christmas, remember sooner is better than later! I would love to do more kids and Princesses, so let me know! I'll make a holiday commission post in a few days, but you don't need to wait for that. ❄👑💙

Just take a look, I'm in this book! Reading rainbow!

Super excited to dive into this collection of essays, analysis and more centered around the complex world of Tumblr and trying to understand the workings of internet culture in 21st century! And hey! I'm in it! How cool is that!!

JUSTICE!

Ever since I first did this series, so many asked me when #Esmeralda would join them. Well NOW seems like the perfect time, as we approach this incredibly important time to use your voice.

"I ask for nothing

I can get by

But I know so many

Less lucky than I

Please help my people

The poor and downtrod

I thought we all were

Children of God"

"God help the Outcasts" is a perfect and beautiful song. Its been on my mind a lot lately. And as we witness so many ask for wealth, fame and glory, may we instead ask who needs our help, our kindness, and our love. Even if they do not look like you, love like you, or live like you. Demand justice. Help each other. Stop hate when you see it. Be like Esmeralda, who fought and forgave even when she could have only looked after herself.💃🐐💜

Another spooky flavored outfit! I guess I miss dressing up lol.

Despite her sweet appearance Chi is a real rapscallion! Her adventures will be seen at Dittoncomics.com

Outfit inspo from the unique vintage Halloween collection 🎃🎃🎃🎃

[amandaniday]

A heartfelt congratulations to @msmaddiriley and her new husband! Getting married in 2020 is sure to make it memorable and give you a chance to focus on the love.🌻💙🌙

[amandaniday]

HAPPY FIRST OF HALLOWEEN!! Here's a spooky babe 🎃🧛🏻‍♀️🎃

She's actually a character from an upcoming project at dittoncomics.com ! If you want to see more of the WIP as we work on getting ready for launch, check out instagram.com/intotherealmcomic

I'm so obsessed with the @uniquevintage collection and this was inspired by that! Ugh I want them aaaaall🎃🦇🎃

[amandaniday]

You asked for it, so here she is! The new Lilac Ears and the classic ears on our girl #Rapunzel from #Tangled for the #MinnieEars series I'm using to try out @stickers

I'm really enjoying the hunt for official ears to match with Princesses, but its honestly a little overwhelming! So many ears! If anyone knows of a database of ears let me know lol.

How many do you think I need before I can start making #sticker sheets lol💜☀️👑

[amandaniday]

The stunning and gorgeous @salmoneyyyyy in this #commission to celebrate her new look! #mermaids are always one of my fav subjects!

(nice to draw fish while literally choking on this west coast smoke, lol Stay safe, stay inside!!!)

🧜‍♀️🐠🌊💙

[amandaniday]

So I'm thinking about getting into #stickers ??

The Big Sickness outside put a big wrench on my plans to open a shop this summer BUT here's a sneak peek at a series I've been planning!

I literally have never done stickers before so it's all new and its all exciting and its all overwhelming lol. Advice appreciated, sticker people!

What do you think? The classic #minniemouse #minnieears or the character specific #mickeyears ? Do you have some favorite ears you'd like on someone? Have #sticker advice? Help me!!!

[amandaniday]

A Birthday commission for the wonderful @skbcakes ! She and her beau usually spend their summers at Pirate Faires and other fun gatherings. Obviously that wasn't an option this year so hopefully this image takes some of the sting away! Happy Birthday!!! 🏴‍☠️

A peak into my self indulgent sketchbook between work projects lol

I was discussing #disneytheories and the extended universe came up and, well, I want these kingdoms to share a bloodline! I gave a whole presentation at a "Drink Talk Learn"! Its my favorite one!!! So many parallels! Ah!

This is somewhere between Frozen1 and 2. I'd love to continue these 3 hanging out. What do you think they'd get up to?

[amandaniday]

Had our first virtual "birthday party" that turned into a draw party! The theme was, of course, #SailorMoon ! Fun to draw something no pressure, staying creative during.....all this....can be so tough.

BUT!

Big things in the works! Stay tuned! Announcements soon!

[amandaniday]

I've been wanting to do a #dtiys for a while and @figisisters #figi15 was so romantic I knew I wanted to give it a shot. Mine looks more like she has a secret than a soft blushing rose, lol. Oh well

Only another week away from home for me. I can make it!

[amandaniday]

"Trials and tribulations, yeah, I've had my share"

As we come near the end if this historic and chaotic #June I indulged in a bit of disney self-care with this. Tiana supporting Elsa's June and Elsa supporting Tiana's June. The #quaranqueen is apparently checking up on all her friends lol

I debated a LOT with whether I should post anything on these topics or if I would be taking up space better used by someone else. But as my feeds start to return to "normal" I wanted to renew that support. My most known artwork is the Protesting Princesses series, and I feel like I need to show up again, and have these two Queens show up for each other. Like I said, self-care 💚💙💚💙💚

And what a day to announce that #splashmountain will be refurbished into #PrincessandtheFrog at the #disneyparks
