Egg Tart Art

Full-time student. Cracked egg, cooked to perfection.

Look familiar? Between projects for my screen printing class, I managed to get these personal designs done.

Hey, have you heard? “Walk With Me” (version 1.0) is available for download on itch.io! It’s completely free to play, though you may add an optional tip via PayPal to support the game, its creator (that's me!), and future projects.

If it exists, you can interact with it.

Join a cast of five quirky characters as you explore what their spaces have to offer. Write a poem. Water some flowers. Play a banjo. Relax, breathe, and enjoy the walk.

(I already have some adjustments to make, so expect a 1.1 patch very soon!)

“Walk With Me” screenshots feat. Hako, Vesta, and Snap Trap. Working solo is tough, but it means that I get to experience several different creative roles. It’s been a fairly fun process, and I hope people can enjoy it to its fullest once the final version hits!

Download the WIP here.

Teaser for my senior thesis video game project, “Walk With Me”!

It’s still a work-in-progress, but getting closer to completion every day. In addition to the show, I’m preparing “WWM” for release on itch.io. At the moment, the incomplete game is available for download at this link here. Once completed, I’ll update the download files with the proper version.

**To be exhibited 5/5/17 at Silo City in Buffalo, NY

One fashionable elf boy to balance out my previous ladies. He’s a bard character from some past tabletop one-shots and I love dressing him up. ((I guess digitizing my D&Derps in various outfits just a running theme for me right now.))

[little-egg-tart]

More pencil-sketch-to-digital-art practice, again going off of a reference so I can get poses down. For one reason or another, I like pink on Kahna. A lot. It’s a shame she’s stuck in riot gear/armor in-universe.

[little-egg-tart]

Cleaned up and colored a sketch of my current D&D character, Kahna, in some cute-looking clothes. Not quite sure what I was doing with the background, but then again I usually don’t do backgrounds so...good enough! At least there’s a semblance of space!

Reference images are great for getting anatomy more or less correct, and I should use them more often.

“Magic Trick”

This one’s a design for some personal screen-printing. I ordered some wooden postcards from Cards of Wood and I’m itching to print on them! Unfortunately, the physical size is on the smaller side, so the textured lines won’t really show in the final edition.

These two lovelies are Hazel (cat-girl) and Vesta (pumpkin-girl). They’re sisters and the best of friends.

A knitted sweater I made for a darling pumpkin-headed BJD a few months back. I dig the boldness of these yarns, especially together.

Another washi-tape experiment turned print feat. fed-up alien kid, Meniah. This one was photo-plate lithography rather than relief. He tries so hard to be bad-ass when he ain’t.

Fun Fact: I knitted a miniature version of this sweater.

[little-egg-tart]

More Lillians from late last semester. The first was an experiment in washi-tape patterns, which I turned into the base for a multi-layered relief print.

[little-egg-tart]

Small robots that love to love. I’ve been drawing a lot of these guys as a way to unwind and procrastinate on schoolwork. Probably spent more time on this than I should have, but they make me happy.

[little-egg-tart]

Grad school application processes were extremely stressful, but it’s pretty rewarding to have (finally) compiled some photos of my physical work.

My dad stepped up to the plate to model my fleece Journey-themed scarf. To my surprise the images I snapped during our photo-shoot turned out just the way I wanted them to. The scarf itself was probably one of the most time-consuming sewing projects I’ve ever done. Satin-stitching + lots of pieces = so many hours of work! I’m very proud of the final piece, though.

Thanks for looking!

[little-egg-tart]

What can I say, I love drawing soft ladies with poofy hair. Messing around with Copics is pretty fun, too.

Her name is Lillian and she’s a total mom-friend.

[little-egg-tart]

What better way to kick-start myself to post more art than some motivational snail doodles from...about a year ago? Yeah.

Bonus: Frisk snail

@kate-what tagged me for this thingamabob, so here we go!

Height: 5′4″ (just shy of 5′5″)

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual (leaning gay probably I uh...always have some trouble trying to answer this)

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw. Very overwhelmingly Ravenclaw apparently.

Favorite Color(s): Tends to change quite a bit, but my favorites to work with recently in my yarn-crafts are super-bold primary colors or more unsaturated, down-to-earth palettes.

Favorite Animal(s): Too many to choose from! I like cuddly critters most, like rabbits and many dog breeds.

Average Hours of Sleep: I’m usually in the 7-8 hour range.

Cat or Dog Person?: Dogs. I have two sweet puppers at home. An even contest if I weren’t allergic to cats.

Favorite Fictional Character(s): Most Animal Crossing villagers (Fang, Hamphrey, Kiki, and Lucky to name a few), and Iota from Tearaway!

Number of Blankets I Sleep With: Total for Autumn/Winter is about 3 or 4 (sometimes more), and 1-2 for Spring/Summer.

Favorite Singer/Bands: My music taste is all over the place. Bo En comes to mind first, though.

Dream Trip: I’d like to properly visit some of the art-focused cities in the U.S.A., like Portland and Chicago. If there were ever a chance for me to go overseas, I’d have to choose Japan purely for the huge BJD events they have.

Dream Job: It would be the coolest thing to work for some kind of stop-motion animation studio doing the sets/props/character models! I’m a very hands-on person and am most content making soft, tangible things (like my crochet boodledoops and miniature sweaters for my BJDs). I’d personally love to be the person who helped bring something to life, but in more of a “behind-the-scenes” sort of way.

When Was This Blog Created?: 2014 according to the first post.

Current # of Followers: 6 on this blog, specifically. I should post more stuff to change that up...

# of Posts: Soon to be 17, and hopefully more as the year progresses.

What Made You Decide to Make a Tumblr?: A mix of feeling unsatisfied with DeviantArt and preferring the presentation of tumblr posts.

Why did you choose your URL?: There’s a running thing that my sister is 16 birds in a human suit, so the train of thought was that I was therefore an egg. My title fluctuates between “egg tart”, “cracked egg”, and “omelette”.

Tagging: Bird sister! @brokenbowstring (totally optional, though)

Either I’m a little late or just barely making it for Witchsona Week.

“Stitch Witch”, though! That’s me! Her magic can make her knitted sweaters even comfier, and bring handmade toys to life. Her body is very squishy, like a scarecrow stuffed with a bit too much straw. Perfect for cuddling by a warm fireplace.
