"This riff is good, but is it organic? " Finalized character for this months character design challenge with the theme of hippie. He's a kale guy. never been much a fan of that veggie, but I figured if any vegetable where to be a hippie, it would be kale. . . . . . #kale #hippie #groovy #music #folk #dreadlocks #flowerpower #60's #peace #characterdesignchallenge #art #instaart #igart #sketch #sketching #draw #drawing #character #characterdesign #characterart #cartoonstyle #instaartist #animation #design #illustration #concept #artistoninstagram #devynadamsart

A year ago today one of my favorite musicians died. I made this that very night, listening to his albums on one long playlist. when I finished sometime around 3am, I felt like I shouldn't post it up, that I would be using his death as a way to get attention to my artwork. So I never posted it. But its been a year now, and I am proud of how this one came out, so I'm going to put it up online. A lot of love when into this piece, and I hope that will shine though.

I've been trying to get back into the swing of things, but I'm still feeling off. I guess the only answer is to work through it. . . . . . . #nature #snail #snails #rock #moss #clover #dreamer #daydream #grass #art #instaart #igart #sketch #sketching #draw #drawing #character #characterdesign #characterart #cartoonstyle #instaartist #animation #design #illustration #concept #artistoninstagram #devynadamsart

I wanted to do a redisign and figured crash bandicoot would be fun. I'm not the biggest fan of his later designs. I tried to add more bandicoot features but still have him recognizable as crash. So here he is eating a wumpa fruit (I always thought they were peaches). What did you think they were? . . . . #crash #crashbandicoot #bandicoot #fruit #beach #tropical #art #instaart #igart #sketch #sketching #draw #drawing #character #characterdesign #characterart #cartoonstyle #instaartist #animation #design #illustration #concept #artistoninstagram #devynadamsart

Christmas is almost here and I'm celebrating with drawing my family for 12 days 🎄 cause I miss em'. the original plan was to send these out as post cards, but money is a little tight right now (perhaps next year).

Feeling the mike mignola style today. The wolf whose eyes burn for others but keeps his heart protected. The hopeless fool keeps a flower in his pocket to look approachable.

Drawing pretty girls isn't something I do often, but I'm doing an illustration project with one in my image, so I figured I'd get some practice before I dive in. This is just a work in progress, but I wanted to get some feedback. To my friends who draw pretty/sexy girls, any tips? Am I on the right track? . . . . #prettygirl #sexy #art #girlart #pinup #painting #drawing #instaart #igart #cat #books #reading #cozy #women

My birthday is tomorrow. I could have sworn I was turning 20 just yesterday, but I guess that was 4 years ago. (😲Wha??)It's going by so quickly. I did a lot of growing this year and tried to push myself harder than before. Here's to the next year, I've got a lot planned so stay tuned 💪😎 . . . . . #birthday #beer #sushi #cake #food #cute #colorful #buzzed #drawing #painting #digitalart #characterart #igart #instaart #art #relax
