Happy Halloween Everyone! 🎃 I Drew My Plant-loving OC Ivy As A Hippie. Spread The Peace, Love, And

I'm finished with Theme # 1 Name! 😊 Took me quite a bit longer than my target goal, but what can I say? Life happens. 🔷 Here's where I tell you a bit about the scene. When I first made the list of themes, I picked "Name" as the first theme because it stood out to me; I thought it would be a great starting point for the project as it would give me a chance to introduce myself and what's in the name. The name itself being Crystal; short for Crystal-the-CC being my artist alias. I came up with this name a few years ago when I was making a DeviantArt account, and because I've really liked the name Crystal (for as long as I can remember), it's just stuck with me. 🔷 Since the time I started creating characters, I named my first one (on the right) after the obvious, Crystal, simply because I liked the name. The character on the left is also named similarly, but more so because the character is my fursona, or my animal personification. As for the object in the middle, it IS a crystal; the thing which I've named myself and 2 OCs after. 🔷 In retrospect, I think I've always had an affinity for crystals and precious gemstones, but didn't realize it until more recent years. I still like the name today. I can't see myself having any other artist alias other than Crystal-the-CC, as I think it very much fits me and what I like to do the most: create creatures. 🔷 Aside, I thought I'd share my old drawing of this theme as well. Looking at it and my new one side-by-side just astonishes me. I don't know what else to say other than that I'm very happy with the improvements that have been made thus far. 🔷 I hope you guys enjoy what I have to share! There will be many more of these to come (99 more to be exact) so stay tuned! 😊 💎 ✨

Might try this idea!

If you're an artist looking to diversify your faces:

click this link

draw whomever you get

don’t worry about making it super-accurate, just focus on the characteristic parts of the face and have fun

the outcome might not look like the ref, but it will be different and more varied than faces you draw out of your head, an dprobably pretty rad on its own right!

feel free to reblog with your drawing, if you want!

We’re getting closer to Halloween! 🎃 I played around with this character’s design and made a couple props. Inspired by a design on one of my T-shirts. 😊 Please do not use these without my permission.🔹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CGYWXQxDFDd/?igshid=43gienet2jf4

I painted this pot today. I was trying to create a green gradient on it at first, but I kinda messed it up so I gave it a solid green coat instead. I’m hoping to finish touch ups and plant some Burro’s Tail in it soon, hopefully next weekend. 😊 I hope you enjoy~

The internet is keeping score

Tumblr, we know you’ve been fighting valiantly to restore net neutrality. Whether you added widgets to your Tumblrs, or reblogged posts to spread the word to your followers, or contacted your reps asking them to keep the internet free and open as we know it—you’re helping. You’re doing it. Let’s keep that momentum up. 

BattleForTheNet.com (@fight4future) is letting Congress know that the internet is keeping score of every Congressperson who is and is not supporting the restoration of net neutrality. 

Right now you can visit that scoreboard and easily look up whether or not your reps support the Congressional Review Act resolution. 

This CRA will restore the net neutrality rules the FCC dismantled back in November 2017. They have 177 signatures, but need 44 more. You can help make that happen. This grassroots effort is working. Just two days ago Rep. Mike Coffman listened to his constituents from Colorado and became the first Republican to support the Democrat-led CRA. Keep putting that same pressure on your congresspeople. Urge them to sign the petition. If your congressperson has already pledged to support the CRA, reblog this post, add the new widget to your Tumblr (just copy and paste the small line of code from Battle For The Net right into the customize theme page on the web), and shout out what’s happening on all of your social media accounts. We have to spread the word.

Keep going, Tumblr. This matters, and you’re making a marked difference.

Sketch I did while it was slow at work. Sorry I haven’t been posting at all lately. Life has been busy and crazy, and when it’s not, all I wanna do is sleep. 😴 🔹 #art #artsy #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #sketch #doodle #sketchbook #illustrator #drawing #conceptart #character #characterdesign #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #instaart #traditionalart #originalartwork #instaartist #instadraw #artistsofinstagram #artist #CrystaltheCC

I’ve moved out of my apartment and back home with my family. I’m gonna miss my little peace of heaven, my home away from home. Here’s some assorted pics of quarantine college apt life. Last pic is a The Last of Us Part 2 Ellie outfit I put together for fun. 😷🔫🏹✌🏼 (at Oxford North) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDIbShSHZr4GLiNtVkLp5-KtX9CoZlUTKh8pNQ0/?igshid=1xz546dkyu1lw

Last semester, I took a Digital Imaging class, which had me experiment with different ways of making moving pictures and art. One of those ways involved taking an artwork and making it into a Plotagraph. Here's the first one I made (I made 3 in total). Hope you enjoy. 😊⠀ 🔹⠀ By the way, if you want to Google what a Plotagraph is, go to Plotaverse.com. That's the new URL for the online resource.

Inked it! Now for the fun part, coloring it in. 😁 🖊
