A bit of an Update

Hey. Haven't been here for a long while, probably will get lost in the noise, probably not someone most remember. Anyway, I've moved on to vusie.vu on instagram, still doing art (example above for KyuuBird on FR), I'm now engaged to a wonderful man and the two of us collect masks and raise our two cats together and have been going by the name Vora for the past year or so. Anyway, probably won't come to Tumblr again. If you want to reconnect, you can find me on insta or FR, but not really anywhere else anymore. Have a nice life, hope this finds you all well. Goodnight.

Suspending This Account

This page will still be here. The art will still be here for now. I'm undecided with what I want to be doing with my art career and I know I have several deficits I want to comb through and refine before I settle for sure with one thing. What you have been seeing so far is my explorations through multiple art styles and non-thematic schemes as I've been learning smaller techniques. I'm an ameteur.

I may return again with some portfolios but I've decided to work with some other artists to help each other grow through collaborations, tip sharing, critiques, and other such stuff. In addition, I'm going to work hard on completely deconstructing my process and rebuilding it in a more healthy way that some of these artists have been helping me with.

My focuses of this study time

•Backgrounds/scenes

•Character design and uniformity

•World-Building

•Animals

•Story-boarding

•Light studies

•Anatomy refinement

•POSSIBLY animation

I'm debating going to an art college and if I do I'd like to have a more comprehensive portfolio by the end and to do that, I feel I need a fresh start with my art.

For now, farewell, my friends. Love you all~

Au revoir.

Almost Last Commission

I actually loved doing this one. It was fairly straight forward and thematic, but it was even better because, for once, fully black shading was the ONLY shading that looked good on it. Gave it the dark grit it needed to make it look complete. Of course with a few extra bits in lighting here and there.

I have one more commission to do after this but I've already started up working on the comic pages and if I can get reliable internet before Thursday, I'll have my Patreon up within the next couple of days.

I'm super excited for it and a lot of planning has gone toward it. Lots of work improving my art too. ^~^ Can't wait to see it through!

I just wanna say

If I do some personal art or art for my own project between commissions it doesn’t mean I’m not doing your commission.

Commissions are creatively draining and sometimes I need to draw one or two or my own things between, otherwise my art and your commissions will not have the quality they could have.

[watart]

It is common for artists to take breaks when working on larger more dedicated projects. If an artist is working on your commission and you see them post something else, that just means they hit a wall of some sort, either creativity or motivational or other, and them taking a break means that instead of pushing through to ship your product to you at whatever quality it may come out, they actually care about delivering their best quality to you, their costumer and often times, their pay checks, and are taking a moment away to come back refreshed. Be patient and understanding with artists, please.

[vuvu-doll]

This is very true and needs to be common knowledge.

[vuvu-doll]

I sit down. I say "I PREPARED FOR ART!!!" I say "COMMISSIONS BE DONE!"

Then there's a crisis. I spend two weeks. No proper sleep. No art. Lots of stress. Hotel hopping.

Now I'm moved again to another room... But I got this started and finished today because I needed something freelance to get me back in the mood for art...

Anyway. Meet Sam. He's a good man.

I drew this simply because I was sick of people saying "you can't draw realistic people because you grew up on anime". I also get shit for drawing lots of females with sexy bods. So here. A realistic old man who is probably not considered sexy in the bod department.

Sneak peek at what's in store for the characters in the comic. This is just a speed sketch with messy lines and concepts to get done in less than an hour. Full image will be available after my patreon is opened up. ^~^

••• ALSO!!! Some News! •••

Okay, so I've set up my art corner officially so I can focus on art and nothing but art so I can get EVERYTHING done. All commissions, all concept sketches, everything. By the end of this month. And why?

Because I've been OFFICIALLY HIRED to do art for a children's book series! I'm not going to say too much about it right now since I'm going to be working on keeping deadlines and getting art produced in the best quality as fast as possible before the author starts on the book (she's currently working on getting another one published right now).

So watch out for news about that. Also, once I get commission work done this month I will be (un)officially closing commissions. Possibly for good. The reason why is pretty simple: I'm just not making money doing it and with all my other projects (I have a reboot of Kindreds in the making, though I may also change the name, and this is the second time I've been hired for professional work, plus I'm getting into college soon) I would like to be focused on things that will actually drive my career forward.

That being said! Once I am finished with all commissions, I will be setting up a Patreon! In becoming a donor, you will be able to see progress and the first pages of Red Eyes/Kindreds/Whatever I decide to call it, the character sketches I've been working on, and perhaps other perks before I get it posted for the masses. This may include exclusives I will not sell or give in packages after the comic is up and running or maybe even headshot basic commissions, but we'll see how everything goes.

So be prepared for a sudden boom in activity here. I'm excited to work with you all!

Edit: Note not all artwork in the picture above is mine. The framed friends was drawn for me several years ago by my best friend (please give me permission to link your recent art it's gotten good!!!), the ball and light study is actually mine, the All Hail Glowcloud painting was a gift from another friend of mine, and the cat with eyes is a print from @thegorgonist . All of which inspire me and help me to focus on my art. Thus their appearance here.

Only Inktober Post

I know. I'm late to the party, you haven't seen my traditional art in a while, and I did the same thing last year with some thick-legged sexy girl (swear it has to do with me viewing my mother as the perfect example of a sexy woman???). Last year was warrior, this year... We'll go sorceress pinup.

As most of you already know, I haven't been able to do traditional because I injured my wrist and tendons sometime early last year so to draw anything traditionally requires tons of breaks, a lot of excruciating pain for days even after I've stopped drawing, lots of herbs and salves, and a severe lack of dexterity and control because of the pain and restricted movements thanks to the injury.

So, to compensate without losing out on one of my favorite activities, I decided to go with extremely thick lines, a consistent messiness of random lines (like in the hair) and added color to ensure it was worthwhile. And it was.

And luckily the mix of cayenne oil and Dr. Mom's Glandular Releaf Salve (totally not sponsored, but like-) I was actually able to use my hand the next day and haven't been in nearly as much pain as usual. Even when using things like Ibuprofren, I've never been able to use my hand this well after spending even half the time drawing, so...

[vuvu-doll]

I originally wasn't going to post this since I haven't wanted to post any of my digital paintings with my name 'n all, but...

Dang it this was too good not to post.

I love it! I love doing it! I love how little time and effort it takes for something such high quality...

But this was a light and realism study I'm calling "Unsettled".

[vuvu-doll]

So I finished my spokesman for my Flight Rising Hatchery. Meet Lace, from the Angel Genome Project. He's a recent purchase and one not like my usual aesthetic but somehow he's rocking it after apparel.

The art itself was... much more difficult than I anticipated. I was hoping for something sketchy with varied line widths and rough colors thrown down in a messy way. In my mind I thought "this'll take me two hours tops! :D" I was so wrong... Lord almighty I was so wrong...

Even more irritating is the fact that transparency REFUSES to work for me. It was supposed to have a transparent background but oh well. •-• This is what I get for not having a computer. Buuut I updated my signature at least to be more professional and less in your face screaming.

[vuvu-doll]

It's been a while since I've posted any actual art and the first day I'm back in the game, I come to you with a quick one hour sketch. Please forgive me. *Many bows for mercy*

Anyway, this is a lovely sketch for cieldobie on Flight Rising or her beautiful Marcie. http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=360147&tab=dragon&did=44024142 .

I've been working a lot with paintbrushes behind the scenes and hopefully soon you'll see yet another art upgrade for when I do my comic reboot soon.

A commission for NorthernLiights , their dragon Fleur. I have to say this one had a lot more textures than I’m used to having in one picture but it was well worth it in the end~

If you wish to have an FR commission as well, please visit My Art Shop <-there for your own!

Artfight entry 2, welcome HibikiPaulens' Ordait Ryoga! This competition is going well this year. I'm really enjoying it. ^~^

Artfight entry for RetroMoonStudios' Lumen. Gosh I had a lot of fun doing this. I really think my style is developing nicely~

One last photo for the day, a gift for Shade. Totally worth the loss of sleep and hours spent on it. Such a cutie.
