I think I'm delirious. I've got enough infinitesimal proofs and research in my active memory that I think I could give a lecture on why they are the greatest thing ever. Like, this is ridiculous guys, I'm not supposed to be learning math to write fanfiction, that's crazy. Well, I guess I'm crazy too.

Are you guys interested in seeing sketches of my previous, current, new - but not revealed - art? I'm thinking of showing sketches of characters, settings, & other random stuff from stories here and elsewhere.

If you guys want to see the art that I make, check my Deviantart account under the same name for this account, other than that, I just wanted to show some of the rough/raw sketches of my art.

Concepts!

*points to myself* Yeah. That's right.

Birthday's on Eclipse Day... or rather, the eclipse is on my birthday! Talk about a really cool birthday present from the heavens. Granted, absolutely none of my state will see totality, but regardless, I think a pretty good chunk of sun will be covered where I stand.

And, I guess I'll show you my birthday pic from the blog.

I've been working on a sketch for the last five or six days. It's a view of an upcoming landscape in my fanfic The Legends of Lore. It should show up in chapter 7. You can also find it over on my DeviantArt page with all my other sketches and concept drawings.

Those who have read MTCG might be able to guess who the nervous-looking changeling at the top is.

I think I made his head too big or his neck too long XD

First off.
SPOILERS AHEAD! DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ CHAPTER 7 OF HELL AND HIGH WATER! SPOILERS AHEAD!

Mine were also made in MS Paint so warning there too

As promised, here's the design evolutions of Stanza and Marred. Take a peek if you want to see how I envision our main characters.

I've been thinking about making a faster and simpler work than I usually do and this was the only thing I could think of: Colored Sketches!

Not something I usually do, but uh... I tried my hand at sketching my changeling avatar, take a look!

(Apologies in advance for the poor visual quality, all I have to import images from paper to digital media is a cheap phone camera.)

YES it is exactly as it says in the title. I'm looking to be anyone of your illustrators in the hopes to be known throughout this website. Now by no means am I a writer but my passion does lay in the more artistic sense. Now I know what you might be thinking "well what's the catch?"well that's the greatest part, I will sketch you a cover, scene, or even character templates and I don't care about getting anything in return only to bring a more in-depth idea on what YOUR story will be like

Well, I've finally got the printer set up in my room so I've started scanning stuff. Which is convenient because, until now, I had to go into uni to do that.
I just finished a quick sketch of how I picture the villains of my Derpfic.
Countess Magnifying Glass of Invitro Hall and Lord Magistrate Nitpick, the Sixth Earl of Speck.
Here they are.

Hey guys! Sorry if the next chapter is taking a long time. One of my proofreaders is under stress with personal issues and school so I hope you all understand. Until he's free up to find the time, I'll continue to write up more chapters.

Anyway, so I've done some character sketches [My first time drawing mind you] of Adagio and my OC, Clavier Melody from my story, MommAdagio. Took some time to get used to but it was worth it.

Cross-post from Tumblr;

Just a sketch.

He’s supposed to vaguely resemble a humanized Dusk Shine, and the colors allude to that. The image is an abstraction for certain types of anxiety I tend to feel quite a lot.

Hello, everybody, today’s my birthday!

Now, instead of giving a full-blown biography like I do with my OCs, I’m going to do something different. Due to just turning 22, I am going to give you 22 Facts about Sketcha-Holic!

Let’s go!

When it comes to drawing humans, one of the most common issues people have is drawing hands. Hands are possibly the most complex arrangement on the human body, with more varying contours and individual anatomical parts than others, such as the limbs, face, etc. It's easy to get in to the habit of not drawing hands, and simply hiding them. Whether beyond the boundaries of the drawing, or in pockets, or whatever.
