I don’t normally do backgrounds on my art… because I’m lazy. But I really wanted to try one out on this one to create more atmosphere. How did I do? I think I did okay, but it is something I need to work on more. Also, I think this is the first time I’ve hooked up Alvin with Brittany. I usually like to swap them around. It’s just more fun that way. ^_^
Messy version after the link.
I run my blog through WordPress, and this year they sent me a Year End Review. Cool! It has neat info on it like, my most popular post, who’s commented more, how did people find me and where are my visitors located. It looks like The US has the most visitors with over 140,000, while China had only 16. Iceland had none! Also, I should brush up on my Korra smut because it’s one the searches people used to find me. Sadly, I’ve not drawn any so I hope they weren’t disappointed. Follow the link above if you have some time. It’s pretty neat. ^_^
So I’m going to start by saying Punky Rat here isn’t my character. She’s belongs to Arse Maus, but when I saw her, I knew I just had to draw her. He was gracious enough to send me some of the doodles and sketches he’s been doing and this one really stood out to me. In my head, she’d be a good match for Jewel.
Here’s the original piece that inspired me. ^_^
Holy crap! I today I just realized I’m less than a month until my birthday (Feb 9th)! Less than a month until I’m 36! I find it strange to think that I’m getting close to 40. I don’t feel my age at all. I draw cartoons and play video games, which is a far cry from what my Dad was doing when he was my age. One thing that will be super special this year is that we’ll be on our family vacation when it’s my birthday! Woo! Vacation birthday for me! “Where are you going” you might be asking. Well, I will be at Disney World when my birthday comes around this year. I hope they give out cool birthday stuff. ^_^ I can’t wait, it’s going to so much fun. I’ll take lots of photos to share when I get back. We don’t leave for about two weeks though, but it’s getting closer every day. Yay!
Have you been to an exotic location when your birthday rolled around?
I asked the commission winner if it would be okay it for me to post the steps to their drawing, and I was very happy to hear that they said yes. So here’s the first rough from what they asked for. They requested their personal character to pose on my chair. I was very flattered to hear that and I’m quite excited to do the drawing. If they approve of this stage, I’ll be doing the clean up next.
So after 19 people entered my free commission contest, one was picked. Thank you all so much for taking the time to travel around my blog looking for answers. I wish I could do commissions for everyone that entered. I hope you all had fun, I know I did picking which posts would make good questions. Frankly, I’m surprised that people where able to find some of the answers as easy as they did. I thought I picked pretty challenging ones to be honest. I was going to make the scavenger hunt span any and every post on the blog, but I changed my mind and only did the past year. I’d like to do this again from time to time during the year, I just need to think up other types of contests to run.
Thanks again to everyone that entered! Now I have to go and cut those questions and answers from all the posts. ^_^
