All that I can do, but I did it.
Poppy decided we should enter The Junky Spot’s photo contest! This was such a fun day, hehe~! I wonder who will win?
Poppy had an adventure! She came with me to TFF/Texas Furry Fiesta this weekend. I had her sit at my table during the convention, but I did manage to grab any pics.
Dreams
I dreamt that I saw my dead grandmother earlier today. I fell asleep after waking up, and the dream was vivid and on the edge of being lucid. I was visiting with friends and people whose faces I didn't know. Skunk appeared and greeted me, so I asked him why we were at my grandparents place. He said something about the ocean, and it satisfied my curiosity. More people came to sit in the living room and I knew them to be relatives, but they were unknown to me in real life. They all talked, while I sat against the TV stand. Then I heard her voice. I knew it was her and I was overcome with emotion. I leaned up and peeked around the corner, and there she sat. Her expression changed, but neither of us could produce words. I reached out to her, and she glanced at my hand. I thought for sure she might smile, but she remained as dumbfounded as I felt. I studdered, trying for words, but no sounds. I woke with the realization that I had seen my dead grandmother in a dream, and burst into sobs. Skunk came to comfort me, and I cried a bunch. I felt awful, more so that I hadn't been able to react positively. I thought that maybe she was visiting me, and all I had done was freak out. As I reflect, I wonder what it all meant. I've looked up some definitions and dream guides, and unfortunately don't feel super positive about it.

Thing i learned some time ago! hope you all find it helpful ( perspective grids can be your friend!)
Panels has announced the new @onipress book that I’m drawing! It’s called “Merry Men,” and it’s the story of Robin Hood reimagined as a queer story. Check out the first interview with me, Robert Rodi (the writer), and Marissa Louise (the colorist) over at panels.net !

WELL SHIT
I see this kinda advice passed around all the time here is the thing: shading with black will indeed look bad if you don’t know what you are doing. However, telling people not to do things without explaining why is terrible advice.
Shadows are the opposite of light, this includes in colour.
This means that if you have light in one colour, the shadow will be of the opposing hue, saturation, and value.
Unless the object is white, it has its own local colour - the object’s true colour, how it would appear if the light were pure white.
The colour of the light influences the local colour of the object. so if you had yourself a brown cube and a blue light, the colours would get bluer and pinker.
now the reason shadows do not tend to be black is because pure white light is hard to find in nature.
the closest you will get to pure white light is during a really overcast day and the sun is filtering through the clouds, but even then it’ll lean towards yellow so the shadows will be slightly blue.
During a clear day, the shadows will pick up a lot of bounce light from the blue sky and have a blue tinge. You can learn more about this in this tutorial: [http://artbyriana.deviantart.com/art/Why-shadows-aren-t-gray-321656856]
But! None of this means you are never allowed to use black.
realistically shadows will have a hint of a colour to them, but stylistically you might be going for, say, a film noir look and deep black shadows are needed for impact for example.
The more you know about how light works, the more informed decisions you can make about shading and the more options you have.
If someone tells you that you can’t do something, they’re wrong! you can do what you like!
yes, black is hard to use and if you just mix a colour with black it’ll get muddy, but thats easily resolved by choosing your colours manually - which ideally you want to do regardless bc the computer doesnt have your eyes & cant choose the colours you like
basically if someone gives you some art advice and says you can’t do something, they’re wrong! you can, you just might need to study a little to figure out how to make things work.
I mean for example, people will say you must make your composition follow the rule of thirds and never align centrally, but while the rule of thirds makes it easy to create visual interest, Mad Max Fury Road is a testament to the fact that central composition can and will work if you experiment.
there are no rules in art! there are theories based on reality, this has been a post on colour theory & light theory, but they exist to inform you, not to restrict you.
Do what you like! Trust your eyes, if you think something looks good, then great! If you don’t, then research & experiment until you do.
Also if you wanna learn more abt colour theory, I go into it in a lot more depth over yonder: http://helpfulharrie.tumblr.com/post/131822744966/ http://helpfulharrie.tumblr.com/post/131958395841/
Cute things.
Poppy has some pretty cool toys!
I need to ask you guys for a favor. I’ve been unemployed for about 4 months now and despite my best efforts, I’ve been unable to find another job. My financial situation is not looking good, and to put it simply, if I don’t find a job this month, I’m going to lose my apartment.
Now I’m not asking for any money. I don’t want to do that to you guys. All I’m asking is for you to share this post and maybe, hopefully, a company or someone out there will see it and be looking to hire an illustrator or character designer.
I’ve worked with many studios in the past including Jim Henson, Universal Studios, and LINE. I can work both digitally and traditionally in a variety of medias and styles. One of my personal favorites is working in paper and gouache. Below are some samples of my work. You can also see more of my art on my tumblr.
Please feel free to contact me with any inquiries and questions you may have. And please share this and help spread the word. I would really appreciate it!
Thank you for taking the time to read through this ~<3
And for anyone who may be interested in helping to support me financially, I’ve included some commission and store info below.
Keep reading
I just want to thank you guys one more time! Thanks to all the commissions and activity in my store recently, I’ve made enough money for 1 more month of rent! Thank you guys soooooo much!!
I still haven’t found employment, but at least I have one more month that I can continue looking and applying to places. I’m so grateful to everyone who’s helped share this post. Please help me continue to spread the word!
Gonna make an alien~
A cutie alien decided to drop by and visit with Poppy. Turns out she's in need of a body transplant! (And somehow thought I'd be qualified to do the operation?) I plan on giving her a new face and body, basically a total make-over.
So Great.. that fits stock and references perfectly.
