I'm Helping

This is the Tumblr of artist and photographer M. Amber Bayles. I sometimes also use the by-name BallpointHawk. Here you will find things I make, pictures I take, and things I like or find funny. My deviantart account: goshawk.deviantart.com

Sketchbook drawings! Fashion development for Elaenia's home country.

Quick paint in Photoshop on my new Surface Pro! I’m loooooving it.

Sketchbook dump! I’ve built up a bit of a backlog because I’ve been working a lot of overtime the past couple weeks.  All of these are original characters from different head worlds of mine. Curious about any of them? Feel free to ask.

Pencil and brush-tip ink pens. I have plans to try to digitally color some of these, but we’ll see if that ever happens.

[disgruntled-hawk]

Oh hey, another drawing dump that no one will probably look at XD. All OCs as usual.

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

[minotaursauce]

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

“You’d be surprised”, said Xaldien, who just lost four followers and received a lovely “men can’t be raped” anon shortly after reblogging this the first time.

[minotaursauce]

Yowch, disgusting.

[samuraiko]

If I don’t reblog this, assume I’m dead.

[disgruntled-hawk]

Domestic abuse and rape of male victims is very real and NOT a joke. I have strong feelings about this.

Actual sketchbook drawings. The paper is a cool traditional handmade paper from Nepal. Unfortunately it doesn't like erasing and doesn't hold up to hard pressure from a fine point (like my preferred drawing implement, a mechanical pencil). I need to remember to bring my ink pens with me to work.

Beka sketch over break

[disgruntled-hawk]

Aaaaaaa love me some Tamara Pierce fan art.

[disgruntled-hawk]

Original characters hanging out and making faces at things

[disgruntled-hawk]

Continuing with my push to actually draw backgrounds! Original characters all. All of these are drawn at work between tasks, so I have to work without references.

PSA: The app Colorfy tries to trick you into a $13/week subscription. That's right, per WEEK.

You might not fall for this scam, but your mom will, hence why it deserves a PSA.

Signal boosting this, because this is super shitty.

tl;dr: An app called COLORFY is an editor’s choice in the Play Store. It’s a coloring thing that looks great, and says FREE all over the place.

But it tries to get you to agree to a THIRTEEN DOLLAR PER WEEK subscription, and makes it difficult to cancel the subscription.

This is a scam that most people won’t fall for, but I’m boosting the signal because we all know someone who will fall for it.

[disgruntled-hawk]

Yo, I don't know if any of my followers use coloring apps (or even read my posts, lol) but this deserves a signal boost.

Post-it note drawings from work.... now with backgrounds! First OC is Kazimir, second one is new, Aina the shepherd. Oh, I should point out that since these are done at work, I don't have references for them. Makes hands a bitch.

[disgruntled-hawk]

Original characters + my progenitor dragons from Flight Rising as humans. All drawn on post-it notes at work bit-by-bit while waiting for things to load.

[disgruntled-hawk]

Fan art! Sketches done on post-it notes at work. The first two are, in order, Shallan and Adolin from Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive books. The third drawing is Korra from The Legend of Korra.

With a song it works better even better !

Music by ORQUESTA LOS SATELITES :)

[disgruntled-hawk]

I swear I'll post more of my own drawings soon, but for now have this. It will make you smile and laugh and i know I needed it.

Fibula pins I made. They are for sale! (Priced vary from $6 - $12)

[disgruntled-hawk]

My friend makes pretties!

[disgruntled-hawk]

More drawings on Post-Its at work. First two are OC's, third one is Pidge from Voltron because I just needed to draw that messy hair. As you can probably tell, I had to wrestle with the sketch...

[disgruntled-hawk]

Two more Post-it drawings from work. Inktober! Though once again I used pencil for the one on the right.
