2012 Dec. 30 | action sketch for a friend

For an old friend, of an action photo taken of her earlier this year. c:  

Thanks Erin you're a sweetie~ <3 glad you liked it!

sketches | 2012 Dec 09

Procrasti-sketching. c:  

It's hard to stay focused pre-finals week. 

Celestia MLP gijinka and one of my own, Dots.

I really like how Celestia came out; but her hair really should've been longer, 

the pony version has it nearly down to her feet. (   ' ~ ')/

MLP | ponysketches 2012 Dec 01

I think SCOTCH MIST is my favorite one on all of here. <3

sketches | 2012 November, various

Finn the Human / girl at a bus stop / Flame Princess / Super M / Peebles

Flamie's hair is a bit flatter than I hoped but I didn't want an Ursula effect. '~'

Rainbow Dash gijinka wip / Aerith

FFVII | Aerith Gainsborough

Aerith Gainsborough inked-over sketch.

(Gaines-borough?  Gainsborough?  So many different spellings...)

She's remarkably cute. <3  

I haven't played FFVII but I've seen her in Kingdom Hearts and Crisis Core, she's lovely.

Liked the pose that came out so it got put into ink, probably will flat-color it in openCanvas at some time.

(from the sketches post above this one, I suppose I should've posted this after but w/e)

EDIT:  My dad saw this & really liked it.  I wonder if he played FFVII when it came out?  He's mentioned 

playing the original Resident Evil game, so maybe he played FF?

sketch | Animal Skulls 2012 Nov. 20.

Paleobiology class sketches in lab.  Non-cartoon/anime things for a change~

I took a human-bones biology/anatomy class before where we drew things somewhat like this; 

but human skulls are much simpler to get the shape right; not to say these are fully accurate xD I wish I had that much time.

Ava's Fund #avasfund

UPDATE:  SHE MADE IT!  
I checked her page yesterday (the day after the deadline) and she actually ended up getting a couple hundred dollars over her original goal!
Aha...happy tears (  ; ~ ; )/  So many good people out there.  
Thanks to everyone who donated, you guys helped save the life of someone precious to me.  

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CLICK HERE : AVA'S FUND
full tumblr post.

I've known Ava for three years and she's my best friend, someone very dear & close to my heart.
At the moment she's in serious danger of losing her home and having herself, her mom (who has impending lung cancer) and her cat thrown out on the street, in the middle of winter, in a not-so-decent neighborhood in London.  (Seriously.  Look up London in winter.  It is the furthest from balmy weather you can get.)
She is 19 years old and has had to drop university to look for a job to support them, which has not been successful. The post above has the full situation.

She may end up homeless or worse if she doesn't have $7,250 by November 30. 

This is not a scam nor a joke, this is a deadly serious situation involving a real person's life and survival, not to mention her family's.

************************************************
If you donate $5, I will draw you a digital sketch (black lineart).
$10 or more gets you digital lineart with flat color (see AdTi gift art post below for a sample).
Just email me your paypal receipt/screencap of confirmed donation, with a quick brainstorm or idea of what you want, and it's on.
A note: Please keep in mind that I am a student, and with that in mind I swear I'll get your art to you as soon as superhumanly possible.  (I did the AdTi gift art pencil sketch & digital work all in the same day, so have faith in my ability.)

DESEMERAUDES@gmail.com

*******************************************

Signalboost this on tumblr, facebook, twitter, wherever you can with #avasfund. At the moment she's a little over halfway to her goal.
She's now past $4000 - keep spreading this everywhere you can, she's almost there.
PAST $5500, super close you guys - keep it up please please PLEASE.

 Please, please do what you can - she's an amazing, brilliant person who's been through so much, and did so with unbelievable courage, strength, and maturity for someone so young. Please help her any way you can, even signalboosting just to get this out there can make a huge difference.  Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Myspace, whatever and wherever you can think of.

You have the gratitude of all the people who love her, including myself.

Regards,
+ISA

Ay biatches.

Self scribble.

You don't understand how hard that thumbs up was to draw ugh.

buttdump | 2012-Sept-14

Most of it's off the YGO askblogs and so. c:

FireAlpaca - free digital art software! C:

http://firealpaca.com/

This looks really great, and it's made to work on both Mac and Windows.  Plus it's FREE so why not?
I just downloaded it and haven't tested it out yet, but I'll post something from there once I do~

YGO | fem!Atem genderbend sketch

good morning, darling

YGO | Yami Marik sketch

For Molly.

YGO | Older Atem (Millenium World)

(  ; Д ;) ...I forgot that he died really young, and then I felt sad after drawing this sob.

Anyway older Pharaoh Atem from the Millenium World arc - I only ever watched that one, I liked the characters in the past better.

I don't know what he's doing with his hand.

FFXIII | Lightning & Serah sketch

Somewhat medium old sketch of Lightning and Serah Farron.  FF outfits are pretty but so ridiculously complicateddddd.

Also the new scanner/printer ended up not working at all.  So I just reinstalled the old one & it still works perfectly!  ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ

Expect YGO.

bakurabakuramarikumarikuyugiyugiatematem

Also the new scanner-printer got scrapped :c so stuff will have to be either digital (which I'm still rather iffy about) or photographed.  Guh.

LoK | Korra sketch wip.

UPDATED SCAN: 2012 Aug 17

REVOLUTIONARY GIRL UTENA | Utena sketch wip.

Revolutinoary Girl Utena <3
dress concept~ I'm happy with how the ruffles and such turned out ( - u - )

UPDATED SCAN: 2012 Aug 17

New scanner is

being lame at the moment.
So no new scans for a while until I get whatever-problem-it-apparently-has repaired. :I
Super uncool broooooooooo. :I

ho-leee ( EDITED )

wow I have lost my touch.
It's actually legit hard to get started and to keep going.  ( . - .  );
I got...kind of bored...
...
how I have fallen. |D

Welp.
Gonna at least draw something and post tomorrow. c:  For anybody looking on here...sorry for the delay.  It's 30% a matter of time and 70% a matter of gettin' up and goin'.


EDIT 2012 - July - 21:  I shouldn'tve posted this |D I failed anyway.  I'm sorry...to anybody who was expectant.  It'll be a little while longer.

PMMM | "Tessa" sketch (2012 July 13)

The character and respective witch's theme is centered around ballet and Swan Lake. C:

Tessa: brown hair in a soft & pretty but -neat- bun, short fringe; grey-brown eyes; rather plain and understated-looking normally

Mahou shoujo costume: white w/ pale grey & gold; white/opaque Soul Gem; feathered darts as weapons

Witch costume: black w/ white and deepgrey (design: ????); loose bun (falling apart look) with tangled parts; flat black eyes, white ring around pupil
Witch barrier: hall of warpy/strange mirrors (mimicking a dance studio)
Witch familiars: ????

I loved how Sayaka's theme was "The Little Mermaid" so I wanted to try to base a PM on a different story. Probably not going to develop this any further than just for drawing fun c: (surely not a serious OC, ahaha).

UPDATED SCAN: 2012 Aug 17

buttdump | 2012-July-02

Doodled at the hospital whilst bored - poor photography, my scanner's not working :ccccc.  

I haven't drawn a male character in so long.... orz

PMMM | Godoka ( final form Madoka )

Madoka's god-mode, final magical girl form.  (old draws from March.)

YGO | Bakushipping doodle.

Really old sketch from March - I think this might be the last time I drew the Thief King. xD

FRENZ | Doodle for A~

I am terrible at drawing real people welp~
{ for A - I drew your tooth gap like you said c: }

edit: ....looks like Al from FMA except thinner and scruffier.  /doing it right

YGO | Deathshipping (late) ~ for Chauna

Deathshipping (YM + RB) for Chauna's birthday.  Sorry it's so late, I haven't drawn Yu-gi-oh in agessss. c:
Keep your head up and I hope this made you smile a little, lovely one~ <3

FFXIII Lightning WIP

It was meant to be Lightning but I got a little carried away with her body type (it's hard to tell, she wears so many layers!).  Anyway she doesn't seem the type to wear a bikini imo~

working.

Just on digital drawthings for the present, and trying to figure out how to work the more recent Opencanvas program whenever I have spare time on computer.  (I had the super-old free version before but...ah I forget how I got a newer one. xD)

hey ho
