Hello!

Well, it looks like I kinda abandoned this tumblr for a minute! If anyone follows me on here and wondered where I went, check out my instragram ------ the_gothic_stringbean

I will try my darnest to keep this updated with everything I’ve done lately...it’s a lot, so it’ll take some time. 

In other news, I’m so elated to see that my art has made some serious traction on this site. It’s all I could ever wish for is to make people happy with my art. Thank you so much for every single reblog, like and comment. It means the world to me.

Super excited to be getting more commissions for ink portraits. If interested please DM me! Otherwise, thank you for the share/follows/likes! Ya’ll are great. :)

I am very very very rusty with anything beyond painting in Photoshop, so I'm still slowly figuring out how to bring my ink to life. So here is a doodle of Blixa Bargeld from yesterday that I fixed as a small warmup/practice today!

Old piece I did a year ago of a hobbit and his birdie friend. I never posted anywhere, and kinda forgot I ever did it. Currently trying to figure out what do for the next big piece...

Another old piece from a year ago. Never announced that this is actually going to be published in Infected by Art Vol. 5!!! 😎 Anyway, apologies about lack of art lately. Kinda short term art break, but I think I'm gonna go back to some cyberpunk roots for my next pieces!!!

Finally the moment you all been waiting for..

I AM OPEN FOR INK PORTRAIT COMMISSIONS! 

I am trying to save up for a printer, so these will be open until that goal is reached. If interested PLEASE DM ME or contact me via email at [email protected]

Payment only accepted via PayPal! 

Otherwise, I've got some super super super cool stuff coming these next couple of months that I'm gonna have a hard time keeping under wraps. For now, just trust me, it'll be worth the wait 😎 .

Gorillaz! I've put a lot of my time into painting, so I am trying to find a simple way of putting life into my ink drawings. This is basically practice until I find whats right, and then I'll begin writing some sort of comic! (Yes, for real, I'm gonna do it!) Anyway, I hope you enjoy this doodle of Gorillaz in my fav outfits they wore throughout the years! (Sorry if this post it organized weird! Just thought it would be cool to add each one individually for everyone to look it! :D )

This is the first thing I have ever done from start to finish in Photoshop!!! Learned quite a bit with this one. As you all should know, I start traditionally with almost everything I do so this is a major step for me. Especially since I figured out HOW to actually make NICE lines in Photoshop. 😎

Expect more practice weaponry/characters to come!

Sneak peek of a WIP. Don't mind me freaking out over the new trailer for FLCL.
