So many things I could ask you, I don't know where to start... I guess I'll start with a classic, where do you get your inspiration?

So many places! Books I've read, art I've seen. I love getting inspiration from other cultures and learning how they do things differently. I also get a lot of inspiration from my dreams, things I learn from history, scientific discoveries, and life experiences. Inspiration can come from anywhere!

Didn't you do a crossover story of some sort with Daughters of the Lillies?

There was a fan who actually wrote a crossover! I need to see if I can find it, cause it was quite lovely.

Old and new! I drew this original piece back in 2017 and I decided it was time to update it~! Here is the new version of Dance of the Mistborn, which features Vin and Elend from Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. I had a lot of fun working on this, and was brave and gave Elend some facial hair. XD

This is probably my most requested art print, but because it was originally drawn traditionally on speckly paper, I couldn't print it larger than 8x10 inches. So I wanted to do an updated version so it could be printed at a much larger size. (And my art was better. Haha!)

This piece is now available as a print over on my store! Use the code HOLIDAY2023 to bet 15% off your order!

Who else has been playing Tears of the Kingdom? I have been absolutely loving it and decided to paint this illustration of Link with the Light Dragon.

This will be this month's art club reward, so anyone pledged to my Art Club tier on Patreon will get this beauty as a 4x6 inch metal print sent to them in the mail!

I've been listening to the graphic audio version of Brandon Sanderson's fantasy novel, Warbreaker, and I had the urge to paint Blushweaver based on Alphonse Mucha's "Rose" illustration! This piece will be this month's art club reward over on my patreon!

Can I have the link for the webtoon? I tried searching for it and it didn’t come up.

Webtoon's doesn't support apostrophes in their search so my comic doesn't show up if you put in the apostrophe in "Zelda's"

Here's the link: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/zeldas-lullaby/list?title_no=393216

Link and his princess.

I drew this one a while back but I still love it so much! I managed to finish off a major project that was taking a lot of my time this week so I am hopefully going to get to draw more Zelda's Lullaby next week!!!

This Link and Zelda are from my comic "Zelda's Lullaby" which you can read for free on #webtoonscanvas .

Renarin from The Stormlight Archive by @brandsanderson . I love this adorable boy! I've been wanting to do a series of character portraits from the series to practice painting faces. I feel like I still have a long way to go to reach the skill level I want to be at. Who should I paint next?

[jemmayoung]

Kaladin and Leshwi because I LOVE these two.

These prints are now available in my shop.

Happy Halloween everyone! What's the one thing you'd miss the most if you got stuck in a medieval fantasy world? These girls miss their shampoo and conditioner!

Children of Eldair is only 15,000 page views away from our 200,000 goal for October on Webtoon's. If you were thinking about doing a reread of Eldair, now would be a great time to do it!

The Lowly Prince. Prince Hallren Yuillya from my creator-owned comic "Children of Eldair." As a prince he has to make difficult decisions to sacrifice the few for the sake of the many. He forever lives with regrets and guilt for those that were lost. Did he make the right decision? In this illustration, Hallren is surrounded by poppies, which symbolize peace in death and eternal sleep. The red poppy in particular represents respect and solemnity for fallen soldiers.
