Happy October!

I’m doing Inktober again this year! I took prompts from 31witches.tumblr.com and arranged them in my own order for this year. My Day 1 prompt is Zombie Witch!

For this weeks art video, I did a Blue Jay in color pencil!

I really love the God of War series, but can’t afford to get the newest game just yet, so I wound up watching @therealjacksepticeye play it and omg it’s so pretty.

After getting inspired by an artist I follow, Anita Gadzinska (https://www.instagram.com/anitagadzinska/), who has been making some illustrations with layered paper, I decided to make one of Jormungandr, the World Serpent.

I recorded this for my channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHetLBW99Eo) and had a lot of fun making it. :D

Sticker Mule had a deal on die cut stickers last week, so I got some made of Lion! I love them!

Also, turnaround time is amazingly fast O_O I live about 3 hours away from where the return address is, so that might have something to do with why they shipped so fast, lol. Still, very happy with them, definitely gonna have to make more stickers of my art.

I’m gonna sell these on my storenvy soon, I just have to list them and figure out the shipping costs. I’ll post an announcement when they’re available. :)

Hello! I've recently ordered a batch of 4x6 prints from Shutterfly, but I was disappointed to find that there were watermarks/writing on the backs of them. Do you know where I can order 4x6 prints that are completely blank on the back?

Kiriska: Catprint. Fireball. Office supply chains like FedEx Office, Office Depot, Office Max, etc. Many other services are listed in AANI’s Suppliers doc, which is linked from our Resources page.

Most photo printers will have watermarked backs, while printers geared towards art and businesses will not.

Walgreens doesn’t watermark the backs of their prints either! I know drug store prints aren’t necessarily ideal, but if you’re looking for something cheap and in a hurry it’s not a terrible option.

I did a review video last year, testing out the quality of 4 x 6 prints from drug stores in my area if anyone is interested.

Watercolor painting of Trico from The Last Guardian. I watched @therealjacksepticeye‘s let’s play this week and I just haaaaad to draw Trico! I’m a sucker for creature design, and Trico was AMAZING. I really want to get my hands on the art book, but it doesn’t come out until February. :(

Speedpaint for this piece goes up on Youtube tomorrow! :D

Last week, my friends and I saw Moana, and it was amazing! For my art video this week, I just had to paint her! You can check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KirwExfca44
