Until what I hear you ask? Why, it'll be my 23rd birthday on the 26th May :3

Why am I making a journal post about it? No, don't worry, I'm not begging for presents xD Just a big ol' 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' hug will do me :) I'm also making the post now because I will be house-sitting with no net access on my birthday, so I won't be around at all for a week commencing 23rd May. You going to miss me? <3

However, IF you'd like to drop me a present, there's a few things that'll make me insanely happy and forever in awe of you :heart:
- Hellboy / Gears of War related art (yup, I am a fangirl)
- Original Character art (find them all here)
- Monkey things (favourite animal)


Adventures into the unknown world of....commissions

Its been nearly three weeks since the 'springy step' post and whilst I haven't done as many new pieces as the first period, I think I have been devoting a little bit more time to fine-tuning the processes and general look of the digital art. I've been trying to do more backgrounds, more ambitious poses, playing a little bit with shadow and lighting in Photoshop. There's still a long way to go yet, but I'm still having fun with it :D

Favourites;


And as the heading suggests, I have indeed been investigating the world of commissions. I'm doing a sort of 'trial run' on a forum outside of DA, to see how I manage and how quickly I do the artwork, etc. I'm not desperate for income but being unemployed still means I have to keep raiding my savings for any necessities like travel to the animal shelter where I volunteer. If anyone is interested, I'll keep you posted <3

Phew! :XD: I wasn't sure it got to you or not, but I'm happy it did. :nod: Sorry it's all home-made stuff, just finished paying fees and rent and such and can only gift you with skillage. :XD: I'm working on some new characters I think you may like. :D

Also Amy, are you on Steam by any chance? I noticed you were on GOW and if you got a Steam account I think they have extra achievements to earn in-game. :D If you are on it me and Brad are called ';PEAHEAD5000' We are mostly playing Team Fortess 2 ( OMG amazing game! You should check out the 'Meet the' videos on Youtube - Meet the Spy is the best! ) and Left 4 Dead. :3

I've got Team Fortress 2! :D A friend bought me The Orange Box for my birthday, so I've been playing on Portal mostly, but Team Fortress 2 looks so much fun! xD Love the cartoony styling of it, can't wait to try it.

I've got it all on the Xbox though :o Does Steam still work for Xbox, or is it a PC-only thing?

And pssh, your home-made stuff beats store-bought stuff ANY DAY! :D

I'm not sure. I think the PC version and Xbox are different. I don't think we'll be able to team up together. :( Waaaaaaaaah! It is indeed an awesome game though. :D I thought you'd like the Heavy because he's gorrilla-like! Mrahawr! :3 [link]

Oh yeah, so he is!! That's awesome xD

Well I don't have Left 4 Dead yet :D I know some others who play it on PC rather than Xbox, so I'll investigate! :D

It is so scary. I can only watch Brad play and I get all nervous and scream and make him jump. :D He doesn't like me watching. :XD:

Hehe, good and scary >D You can sometimes play on the Xbox with the microphone headset, and I imagine if I played a scary game on that I'd be screaming into the mouthpiece like a big girl xD
