Dropped some water on it and I can’t seem to get a decent picture of it, but still playing around with this idea for a painting.

Getting ready for those white whiskers and details on my last piece of 2018! I’m actually super pleased with how this is turning out, especially since it’s my first pet portrait. I’m really proud of how many different mediums I’ve experimented with over the past year and I look forward to improving my watercolor technique in the next! Happy new year everyone! Thank you for all your support ❤️ . . . . . . . . #catsofinstagram #catportrait #petportrait #coloredpencil #coloredpencils #tuxedocat #fabercastell #fabercastellpolychromos #polychromos #pets #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BsEXE2ynw6S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=es1n0mte9964

Working on a bunch of Christmas gifts right now so I’m sorry for the lack of posts! This the finished drawing of the eeveelutions I did last week for a member of a local Pokémongo group! I have a lot more pictures coming soon! . . . . . . . #pokemon #pokemongo #eevee #eevelution #prismacolor #fabercastell #polychromos #copic #copicmarkers #jolteon #espeon #leafeon #umbreon #flareon #glaceon #evee #eeveelutions #pomemonart #fanart #artistsoninstagram #artistofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BrojnHSnwbJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c59wk0ts1123

A Warrior Called Leith. It’s finally done! It was so much fun drawing all the detail in the armor and trying to figure out how to make it work in the chibi version. Overall I’m pleased with how it turned out but I don’t feel like Instagram does it justice XD . . . . . . . . . . . #ffxiv #finalfantasy #finalfantasyxiv #ffxivcommunity #stormblood #heavensward #chibi #ffxivchibi #ffxivfanart #ffxivart #finalfantasyart #chibiartist #artist #art #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #arealmreborn #fanart #ffxivmiqote #ffxivhyur #hyurhighlander #miqote https://www.instagram.com/p/BrAyFClnPYO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jxuv2b5wsm6z

This will always be my favorite picture of my character <3 Had a lot of fun playing around with the different paint brushes and by some happy accident it actually turned out decent XD . #ffxiv #ffxivfanart #ffxivart #whitemage #commissionsopen #ffxivmiqote #ffxivaura #finalfantasy #finalfantasyxiv #stormblood #heavensward #gilgamesh #gilgameshserver #summoner #dragoon #astrologian #darkknight https://www.instagram.com/p/BqqU4pZHTxF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d2d51m4w07k7

Decided to dip my toes into the digital art world with a chibi version of my FFXIV character. If you’re interested in one of your own, I’m opening up commissions for a limited time to try out my new drawing tablet.

Finally ready to post my suicune commission! I wanted to keep it off social media until it was delivered, but here we are. This piece was primarily done with micron for the outline, copic sketch markers, Faber castle polychromos colored pencils, and India ink for the white details. I cleaned up the artwork and added the aurora details in the background digitally. If you’re interested in commissioning me, dm or comment below! . . . . . . . . . . . #suicune #suicunepokemon #pokemon #pokemongo #legendary #fabercastellpolychromos #indiaink #copicmarkers #copic #copicart #copicsketch #coloredpencils #entei #raikou #jhoto #dog #aurora #auroraborealis #crystal #crystals https://www.instagram.com/p/BowaGZ5nJmE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j71rv120xz1a

Day 16: Fat — because Hippos are the devil and the beefalo was the first thing that came to mind after that XD . . . . . . . . #inktober #buffalo #american #engraving #sketchbook #gellyroll #copicmarkers #sketch #fox #artist #art #artists #drawing #prismacolor #micronpen #inkdrawing #inktober2017 #pointillism #pigmamicron #copics #tattoo #nativeamerican

Day 15: Mysterious — I’d say the King Cheetah more than qualifies. Not photographed until 1975, the King Cheetah was originally thought to be a subspecies of cheetah, though we discovered as recently as 2012 that the cause of this unique pattern is a recessive mutation. Whatever they are, they’re beautiful and I had so much fun drawing the pattern. . . . . . . . . #inktober #cheetah #kingcheetah #cheetahtattoo #sketchbook #gellyroll #copicmarkers #sketch #fox #artist #art #artists #africanart #drawing #africa #prismacolor #micronpen #inkdrawing #leopard #inktober2017 #cheetahart #pigmamicron #copics #tattoo

Day 14: Fierce - This one’s pretty much a gimme! Even though I just did a tiger I don’t think I could ever get bored drawing these guys. It was a good excuse to put a pop of color in too. This is not my original design, just something that caught my eye when searching for a reference photo. I tried to reverse image search for the artist but I couldn’t find anything. If anyone knows who designed this let me know so I can credit them! . . . . . . . #inktober #tiger #tigers #tigertattoo #sketchbook #gellyroll #copicmarkers #sketch #fox #artist #art #artists #drawing #prismacolor #micronpen #watercolor #inkdrawing #painting #inktober2017 #tigerart #tattoo #pigmamicron #copics #tattoo #copics
