I'm Glad You Liked It!!

I’ve only been posting art for a little while, here and on my Instagram, and honestly, it’s been really nerve wracking for me. I kept wondering why I even decided to do this, but something happened that made it all worth it for me.

I was out and about with my family and ran into one of my old church leaders from when I was a kid and she shared a story with me about how my art had helped a girl. This leader has worked with foster kids for years, and is working on getting her masters in something related to helping teens and kids. As part of that she is working as a therapist for some kids, and in one session she was sitting with this girl. This girl was completely stonewalling her, wouldn’t say anything, wouldn’t even look her in the eye. My leader knew that she liked anime, and remembered all the anime art that I post, so she shared my art with this girl, and that helped her to open up. after that she wouldn’t stop talking.

I personally know how helpful therapy can be, and the thought that my art helped that girl to open up and be able to get the help she needed, well it makes it all worth it for me. I started making art because it makes me happy, not because of a class or for someone else, but because I love it and it makes me happy. I think I lost sight of that. so, I’ll keep making art, because I love it, and I’ll keep posting art, because maybe, just maybe, there is someone out there who I can help with my art.

I tried to sketch twilight from memory, and then colored him with whatever pens I had on hand.

Let's go round three!!

I am trying to learn Japanese. I make my own cosplays. Currently warriors is my favorite link with four in second.

what are you majoring in?

I am working on a bachelors in animation and game design. Its a computer science program that focuses on teaching students everything they need to essentially make indie games and build up a portfolio to get work after the program.

My program has branches for folks who want to get an animation job at like Disney, but I am focusing on making games. I enjoy animation but I dont want to do it for a career. I prefer 3d modeling and coding. I like rigging but I am absolutely awful at it!

Can I work on finals today? No, but apparently I can whip out a semi-realistic hibiscus in about 4.5 hours.

Made with craft paint on some plywood scrap that was already blue.

Battle for courage.

Assignment for class. We were supposed to play with the idea of scale. Probably gonna finish this one day.

So I’ve been playing around with the idea of a Hyrule Warriors AU. Well kind of an AU maybe more of just my idea of what happened outside of the cutscenes. Here’s my doodle pages for Hilda, Ravio, and Proxi. (also ravio’s page ft a doodle request for [already gone] on amino of their oc’s.)

As part of a class project I made this drawing of my sisters bearded dragon.

This is a picture of his face because he's cute.

An original character of mine. She is a fairy with powers of fire/ice.
