The Charismatic Enigma This one I am particularly proud of! Wrestling has been a huge part of my life and from the get go Jeff Hardy was and still is my guy (he even drew one of my tattoos!). This past week he made his AEW debut and returned to the ring with his brother Matt. I wanted to create something to show my excitement and drew my first full bust of a person! I am so excited to see where the Hardy Boyz go from here and to see all their upcoming matches! #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalportrait #portrait #jeffhardy #jeff #hardy #charismaticenigma #enigma #aew #allelitewrestling #fanart #aewdynamite #dynamite https://www.instagram.com/p/CbK-vDmOQzx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pretty Kitty This past week I did a commission for a close friend of their sister’s cat Clarke! She is the prettiest little thing with the most beautiful eyes, and I loved having the opportunity to do this for them! #digitalart #digitalillustration #art #cat #kitty #cute #pretty #commission https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca-Ps4Gu0Q1/?utm_medium=tumblr

A change of scenery. I decided to try something different this go around and capture scenery instead of an animal/creature. I also wanted to try something bright and warmer compared to this winter weather we have dealt with… I’m so ready for spring! The lily pad gave me a fit, but this was more of an experiment than anything and I’m happy with how it turned out! Let me know what you think, and what your favorite season is! #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #art #lilypad #log #pond #water #pretty #scenery #spring https://www.instagram.com/p/CakTpc6upxV/?utm_medium=tumblr

What little light that's left, we need to keep it sacred I know that you're afraid to let all the dark escape you But we could let the light illuminate these hopeless places -Paramore (Idle Worship) This past month has been a rough one both physically and mentally, between anxiety and seasonal depression. I haven’t gotten to be as active as I’d like, but I needed to rest and take a break. Fortunately, it has helped, but it is also okay to admit I’m still not ok. It can be difficult to talk about mental health and getting the help you need, but always remember you are worth it. #digitalart #art #digitalillustration #paramore #lyrics #idleworship #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CaSTNe7lz3U/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Valentine’s Day! They claim opposites attract, but I don’t have enough knowledge on that to know. 😅 Plusle and Minun might though! Whether it’s with a loved one, or yourself, Happy Valentine’s Day! #digitalart #art #artistsoninstagram #holidays #valentines #happyvalentinesday #valentinesday #pokemon #plusle #minun #plusleandminun #heart #cute #love https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ9boDOOi1f/?utm_medium=tumblr

For whatever you may need I was asked by my sister who is currently under the weather, to draw an alolan raichu for her. I decided to draw raichu in its habitat over the ocean (my first hand drawn water!), with a warm sky to invoke warm feelings. I hope my raichu can help invoke some warm feelings for you, whatever you may need it for! What’s your favorite Pokémon or generation?

This will probably be my last corgi piece for a bit, because I want to try and push myself to do different things like anatomy, other animals, etc. I wanted to create more of a scene instead of just a corgi with a prop. I wanted the corgi to be anticipated looking out the window waiting for something, or even just looking at something. That interpretation can be up to the viewer as to what is exactly going on, or what the corgi is looking at. Let me know what you think the corgi is looking at/waiting for! #digitalillustration #digitalart #digitalpainting #art #artistofinstagram #corgi #illustration #scene #window #clipstudiopaint #coolcolors https://www.instagram.com/p/CY6jUGKLO09/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here is a little penguin I made based off of @shyfoxx.art video of drawing the polar bear! I wanted to try something a little different than the polar bear and decided to draw a penguin with a tall beanie. I really love how Shyfoxx does eyes and colorful shadows to add depth, which has been something I have struggled to convey in my art. I’m hoping to use her tips going forward to find ways to add more depth to my own art in my own way. Thank you Shyfoxx for the tips and keep up the great work! #drawwithshyfoxx #digitalart #penguin #digitalillustration #cute #beanie #winter #clipstudiopaint #art #colorful #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CYmXlAOJEXj/?utm_medium=tumblr

From me, Jeter, and Matty we want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

We have been through a lot again this past year, but we made it! Whether your year was good or bad, you made it and that’s an accomplishment.

Last year certainly had it’s ups and downs, but I discovered a love for illustration which is pushing me to open a freelancing business. This is the year I plan on getting the ball rolling, and will be doing so by posting art once a week (with some highlights in between), learning anatomy, honing digital art, getting 50 followers, and building a calendar for 2023!

Some of these resolutions are subject to change, but I really want to get creative and build my online presence this year. So if you’re interested follow me for the journey and let’s do this thing!!

If anyone has any resolutions they would love to share please comment, because I would love to see them!
