“On the Wings of Freedom” By Jennifer Sanchez 18x24 in Inspired by the #AncientMagusBride in both the #manga and #anime series. Through hard times in life you must experience a true flight and enjoy it with joy. You can even see the true joy of flight through the eyes of someone who witnessed it themselves. If you want to continue onward by flying beneath the sky in order to live. To live is to fly on your wings and go the distance. I apologize for the wait on this piece. I had other ideas that came in as well which I want to finish as well. I wanted to make each one an original and one of a kind. I have yet to decide on what to do with the piece. However if you are interested in this piece, please message me and we can talk on payment and such. #myart #animart #animefanart #theancientmagusbride #fanart #artwork #art #findyourthing #koreyamazaki #originalart #originalcharacter #fantasyart #dragon #wings #fly #live #moveforward https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6PsN-geky/?igshid=xg94e7tobkzb

This work in progress is peaceful and I do hope these two lives find peace after what they’ve been through. No animal should go through what they’ve been through. May the ones responsible for the most tragic event be put through justice. Remember a life for a life. Their blood will never wash off no matter how many times, for their the shackles and chains that they’ll carry for all time.

I put my current painting on hold to paint a new piece dedicated to the two lives that have been taken. They deserved better and yet humanity is cruel and heartless to the innocent. Actions such as theirs should never be forgiven. A life is equal to the same as the one who committed the cold action. The news of their deaths occurred two days ago. I will be painting this piece in honor of these two majestic souls who will never be forgotten. If you want to learn more about the case, the petition will be here for you to see. I have signed it already and now I will be joining others against this cruel act. https://www.change.org/p/ministry-of-law-and-justice-justice-for-our-voiceless-friends #elephants #animals #wildlife #Kerala #EnoughIsEnough #elephant #HumanWildlifeConflict #acrylic #painting #acrylicpainting #heaven #restinpeace #neverforgotten #remembered #wildlifeart #art #illustration #NeverForget #endcruelty #wip #workinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/CBEaOC_AEMh/?igshid=pgpm74zotf29

This a #wip but I’ve done a bit of work still during this time we all going through . It’s taken me weeks but I hope to get it down soon. It’s based of a scene from one of my favorite anime, The Ancient Magus’ Bride. So I hope you enjoy the work in process. This piece is also magical when the sunlight hits it. #anime #ancientmagusbride #magusbride #nature #ocean #sun #sunset #dragon #clouds #sunreflection #acrylicpaint #acrylic #paint #painting #animeart #manga #art #otaku #geek #otakugirl https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdlfPBgJU1/?igshid=17elmca05400w

Inizio and Evie are being given life. It was originally painted however back in March 19, 2019 it was damaged along with two other paintings on that day. I repaired it and never thought I can restore it to how it was. But now after so long I can finally bring it back to life and with a new name. But the deer are keeping their names. This painting will be titled “The Return of Spring”. It message still means the same and know that even when things go wrong like the #coronavid19 don’t let it get you down and fight on to live to the fullest. The original drawing is still on my Instagram if you want to see it. #whitetaildeer #whitetail #deer #doe #buck #drawing #sketchbookdrawing #illustration #fawn #wildlifeartist #wildlife #wildlifeart #stag #mountains #forest #prince #newbeginnings #life #birth #highspirits #animalart #corona #family #animalcrossing #animals https://www.instagram.com/p/B-pX0MwAgM0/?igshid=r909bihqntho

This was done before the while pandemic and I thought I posted it up but I checked and I didn’t. So now I’m uploading it now hoping to lift anyone’s spirits. Introducing... “Sisters” By Jennifer Sanchez This is about the bond between humans and elephants. As we connect through good times and bad that happen to us, being with the one close to you is always there to make you feel safe and no everything will be okay. The young woman and the Asian elephant stand together as one as they walk through the forest. Know that even when times have gotten tough for you, there is always someone there for you even if your friend is an Asian elephant, a furry friend, feathers or even hairless. Especially at this time when all is lost, then all is found. #asianelephant #woman #animalart #nature #elephant #bond #sisters #hope #love #animal #animalcrossing #drawing #sketchbook #endtrophyhunting #endivorytrade #elephants #protectelephants #endpoaching #wildlifeart #banivory #saynotochina #illustration #wildlifeconversation (at Starbucks) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-cx2BzAoG3/?igshid=1atgdw5rpe53t

I’m revitalizing “Belugas Rise” to bring it to life again after so long. But even with its new appearance the painting’s meaning doesn’t change. And what brought me to do it was a special beluga whale named Hvaldimir. And now the painting holds another message that they shouldn’t be used for science or even anything to do with military and war. Their as innocent as those who are living their lives without any involvement with the bloodshed that goes on between countries as well as speculations. The canaries of the sea must be left alone so we can enjoy them with all our hearts for their gentle nature and singing. @norwegianorcasurvey @leonardodicaprio @wwf #belugawhale #family #pipeline #arctic #drawing #artivism #animals #wildlifeart #pollution #climatechange #creativity #animalart #meltedcrayons #acrylicpaintingoncanvas #acrylicpaint #conservation #wildlife #life (at Starbucks) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9cHS4tAnHX/?igshid=grma7ebdoupz

This is a piece I made for a special group of people as a gift. I used to not enjoy going to the dentist. But that all changed when I met my dentist in the fourth floor and she was the most kindest and caring dentist. And soon I didn’t mind going back again, everyone there was wonderful. I learned from them that their mascot was a rhino and thought I should make a painting for them to enjoy. It may not be much but it was something I could do after they saw me on my sketchbook and I got to let them see some of what I drew inside it. So this is a painting dedicated for them. And I hope they enjoy it as much as I enjoy going to the dentist’s. #nyudentistry #mascot #dentists #africansavannah #sunrise #rhinoceros #rhino #babyrhino #acrylicpainting #painting #animalpainting #rhinopainting #africa #nature #animals #lovewildlife #loveanimals❤️ #motherrhino #sky #savannah https://www.instagram.com/p/B8iKgwAAyaW/?igshid=fmx3g1hokuch

I thought i should show you guys what my room looks like in a simple way to see it. This is how much room I have when sharing a room with my sister and her son. They have one part of the room and this is my part of the room. I don’t think rearranging the room will change a thing. This is the space I have to live with. I didn’t draw my sisters side of the room mostly because I’ll trip over stuff especially my nephew’s things. So yeah, I hope to get my own place someday. #smallspace #sharingaroomproblems #sharingaroomsucks #ineedmyownplace https://www.instagram.com/p/B8UjId8gD0X/?igshid=1atju56czcfbz

My birthday was today. I’m officially 27 and birthday will soon be over by midnight. But in the end all I want for my birthday is kindness. As much as I wish for someone to buy my artwork, I wish for everyone to be kind to one another. No matter if their a different race, religion, human or animal. It can be opening the door for someone, donating to an animal shelter or even helping a family member out with a chore. Kindness is best to be shared. So be kind to one another not just for myself but for others as well. #bekindtooneanother #love #peace #kindness #sharingiscaring #birthday #bekind #art #birthday #birthdaywish #animaldrawing #animalillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/B59Zmu6AxQ9/?igshid=mchylr2n4aub

“Here I Am” By Jennifer Sanchez I titled this illustration after the song from Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron. In honor of #PolarBearWeek, I wanted to work on something to show how important it is when it not only comes to global climate change but also the animals being affected by it and not just from poaching, hunting and much more. So I thought why not see how polar bear’s situation really is. As you can see the polar bear is trapped in a snow globe while watching not only the viewer but it own home in the arctic melt away. She can only watch as her home disappears before her. We all must do our part to make sure the beauty of the arctic as wells as the homes of the many creatures that live in the cold tundra never disappear along with it as well. @pangeaseed @wwf @polarbearsinternational @earthalliance #Arctic #Bear #conservationthroughcreativity #saveourseaice #illustration #polarbear #snowbear #polarbears #artivism #protectwhatyoulove #saveouroceans #saveourplanet #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #climateaction #climate #polar #art https://www.instagram.com/p/B4l2Om3gB7A/?igshid=u9t9s13apzk
