Sketch 55 - An Angel Among Us

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! So yeah I'm sorry this is an older sketch but its one that most haven't seen. Its the original concept sketch for Nanako in my Pyowaan story. She is a fire angel and unlike her friend Anna who actually starts with the angels, she starts in the desserts and lives among the villages of anthro races until she is reunited with her friends.

So my new job starts tomorrow. I have to get up before 6am uhhg. Oh well the pay is well worth it and getting up that early will hopefully make the day go by faster. I want to give a shout out to a new friend of mine Jake Bailey who has lent me his Japanese copy of Legend of Dragoon game (which ive mentioned in a previous post that I have been wanting to play again!). So cool! Now I don't have to by it and I can refine my Japanese reading abilities while playing. He has also lent me a Japanese PSP game called Monster Hunter Portable, which as he warned me is very addictive! By looking at the back and seeing the graphics for a hand held it looks frikken amazing!

Anyways it is getting late and I need to make my lunch for tomorrow and get to bed. Good night world! Love you <3

Sketch 51 - Simon, Martina and Spudgy

Simon, Martina and Spudgy from Eat Your Kimchi. I have been loving their videos. Such an amazing couple. They are Canadians who moved to Korea to teach and vloged about it every day. To me they are such an inspiration. I actually have my TESOL certificates and tried to teach in Japan. However I got turned down for all the paid teaching jobs in Japan because I had no experience and or early childhood development certification. Outside of their jobs I just love watching their videos. Martina and Simon have such wonderful personalities and make an amazing couple. Spudgy the dog is adorable in an odd way haha! Also very jealous because they got to meet almost all of my favorite kpop stars including BigBang. Man if it was me I would glomp Daesung!

So today is just the line work. Its a huge piece but I have some of the color done already so to finish for tomorrow's blog will be fast (hoping). I'm actually really proud of this. For a sketchier full sized picture it turned out great...except for Spudgy because I suck at drawing animals (forgive me!)

In other news, I'm getting nervous for Thursday. I've been getting more frequent pains in my side and its getting harder to do things without writhing in pain on the floor. It's starting to scare me and honestly I'm scared to find out exactly what it is and what the outcome and treatments will include. I have a lot planned for my future ...

Anyways! Conservatives won the election in Canada so .... nothing will change! Not so bad I suppose but whatever. Getting sleepy so Goodnight world! Love ya <3

Sketch 34 - Hello There!

Okay so I did a whole bunch of sketches of a friend of mine in England. Her name is Emily and she is amazing. Cute and sexy, fun and laid back and the perfect mix of girl and geek. So I decided to re-sketch this picture and post it tonight.

Thank you for over 1000 views! It's been just over a month and seeing this makes me so happy!

Still sick and new job sucks so this one will be supper short for today. I'm sorry. Goodnight world! Love ya <3

Sketch 33 - Sleeping Fury

Toothless from DreamWorks How to Train Your Dragon. I know the proportions are all wrong and stuff but Im sick and tired and its a sketch blog! lol I think it turned out cute! I love this movie and got to watch it and Tangled again today because I was babysitting for a friend of the family.

So today I found out I have a job! Courtesy of my mum. So that exciting! Also as soon as I get said news EVERYONE who has been planning on getting tattoos from me has texted me today. Murphy's Law I suppose. I also found out that they are building a life-sized Cat Bus from My Neighbor Totoro! I so wanna see that sooooo bad.

I also wanna give a shout out to my cousin who is now engaged to his gorgeous fiance! Congratulations you two and welcome to the family Jenn! <3

Well I'm off to bed to get over this damn cold and get ready for training tomorrow (to bad its not in how to ride a dragon! ... that would be way too awesome). I swear Ive drank over 10 cups of tea today... still so thirsty!

Goodnight world! Love ya <3

Here's one for all the Playstation fans out there! It only does EVERYTHING *wink* <3 <3.

OMG i wanna kill my sinuses, hate this weather and then I wake up to snow.... We are a month into spring and more frikken snow.... SO annoying! Now im sick and more snow mold to set my allergies on a revolt. Seriously thinking about using tampons up my nose to stop the mucus flow like they did on She's The Man starring Amanda Bynes (one of my fav actresses) only they were talking about nose bleeds haha. Man my head is pounding. DO NOT LIKE BEING SICK!!! I ramble a lot....

Also found out that one of my friends grandpa died a few days ago. I give my sympathies to her and her family. Well gonna keep this short. I need sleep to get rid of this sickness. Goodnight world! Love ya <3

Sketch 29 - Bloodline pt 1

So working a clean art picture of the new designs for Purtalic and Nynde. Today is the sketch, tomorrow will be the clean line art and possibly the base colors and then Wednesday will be the shaded finished copy. Hope you all don't mind the character spam. No one has mentioned a dislike as of yet so I will continue. Plans have been in the works for MBJ and I to have a weekend get-together at some point soon to work on the story and smooth out the rough edges that we weren't able to do when we wrote it originally. I cannot tell you how much I am gonna look forward to that. been ages since I had the chance to spend any quality time with her since like 2007. Sad but true with our schedules and the distance between us.

Soooo being Canadian I do actually like hockey. Not a HUGE fan or anything but its nice to know my team is doing AMAZING. GO VANCOUVER GO! Playoffs start soon and I would love to see them win the Stanley Cup. I find it funny though. Even though I cheer for a 'Canadian' team, most of the players are American. Because the American teams buy up the good Canadian players for their teams. So I like to cheer for a Canadian team ... but which is actually more Canadian?

In other news Big Bang released their new V.I.P. Special edition album with some new songs and a solo song from Daesung (my favorite of the group) ... FINALLY. I have been waiting for Daesung to have his turn for his solo debut. All the other members have had whole albums out already. Well not sure is Senguri has had one yet but I wouldn't be surprised. However, Daesung has been in the back most of the Big Bang career and its saddening because he has such a powerful voice with great range. Finally glad to see some D-lite action. Hopefully a video will surface soon so I can translate it <3

Well I should get going to tonight. I have books to read, blankets to knit, pictures to finish and a pageview wallpaper to work on! (not in any specific order) Goodnight world! Love ya <3

P.S. As a reminder I am ending the donation pool at Easter. We have until then to raise $500 to see me sing a Japanese song. Also I will be sending a sort of fan-mail box to Japan with letters and pictures to help raise moral. If anyone wishes to send a letter to brighten up a families life or a picture or both feel free to mail them to me and I will post them with my box. I will be sending the box at the end of April so make sure they get here by the 28th.

Sketch 17 - Noble Snow

Purtalic Tamakai Lahncey. Or PTL for short. Northern queen of Asaro. Sister to Metablue, Partner to Pyro, Mother to Nynde and Daemon. A high elf whose element is ice and the cold. She may not be the sword wielding battle maiden like her sister but her magics are bar-none the strongest. She is one of the few remaining bloodlines for the ancient dragon-lings that now watch over the lands as protective spirits.

My character! Oh how pretty she is. I love her outfit and if I were to choose a "look" goal for my gym training it would be too look like this. Curvy and muscular but lean and sturdy. Because this is the character representing myself, I went the extra mile. I know I know like a parent I shouldn't take favorites but come on its me! Or at least who I would like to be. Bold, daring, kind, smart, leader, and cant forget modestly powerful. Keep dreaming right? Yeah I know lol.

So sorry for the late post. Had a lot to do today with my eye exam and getting stuck in traffic on the way and yeah. Left the house at about 12:30 in the after noon and didn't get back home till about 6:00 pm. So tired. While I was waiting for my exam I did some shopping and found "The Book of Awesome" which after reading a bit into really is awesome. The book started out as a blog by Neil Pasricha @ 1000awesomethings.com. It put a smile on my face on the first page. So if you can find it I highly recommend it (its cheap too!).

I also have a BIG thank you to give out to the generous person who donated $100 for my Japan donation pool. THANK YOU!! That brings us up to almost half the goal amount. Oh and for only 17 days/blogs/sketches I've gone over 400 page views (having it set up so it doesn't include my own). Thank you everyone! I hope I am living up to your expectations. Maybe for the 500 view mark I will post a free wallpaper for people to download if you like.

Well time for bed. Goodnight world! Love ya <3

Sketch 16 - Demonic Romance

Pyro. A high demon from Eeres. The story of how Purtalic and Pyro met is a near-death survival romance that ended in an amazing union. From there he becomes the soul partner of Purtalic and helps govern the North. He ends up fathering a daughter and son and survives the great war.

This picture is so hawt... if I may say so lol. Ah Pyro. He has some reason to believe he has a little dragon-ling blood in him but its not enough to make a difference. Well as his name suggests he is a fire demon. Thinking about this, me being Purtalic and all.... I don't rule over the fire element yet a lot of my characters are fire elemental ... go figure. Its okay though. MBJ has characters that are under my elemental governing muhahahaha. I spent a lot of time on this picture today. I had to re-do his outfit a lot. Pyro was the 3rd favorite character for the fan-art contest as well.

Tomorrow I have an eye exam and hope to get some contacts again... FINALLY.  Also I have two viewers from Ireland. I don't know anyone from Ireland so this is cool. Hello out there! Hope you liked what you saw/read. This really is exciting. I have a lot of viewers from China as well. Anyways, in other news my cousin Kelly will be arriving for a visit on Friday (hopefully with his gf!) This will be awesome! Also my cousin Alex will be coming for a visit in April sometime. Can't wait. So far I have a lot of people wanting tattoos from me but no one is making dates to do them ... *cries* lol j/k but still come on people!

Love ya <3

Sketch 15 - Diamond Frost Smile

Nynde. The daughter of Purtalic and Pyro, making her Princess of the Northern races. A mix of royal dragon-ling blood and demon, she is light of her people and the nightmare of her foes. Her demon blood gives her a temper unlike any other. After her first love dies, she finds refuge in a heart similar to her own.

Ah Nynde. My daughter in the story. When I had a fan-art contest, she was the most popular pic. Speaking of fan-art I should find it all and post it. Maybe? Got to the gym today and they said I had a balance on my account, I had a feeling it would come up because of my card being a visa debit and Canadian businesses aren't up to the technology yet. So Im expecting about $50 and it was $80 .... my jaw dropped. So after some negotiating its down to $40 so I am happy.

Got a lot done today, surprising. More work on the commission done, sketch done early, gym, chapter 1 almost finished and job hunting. So tonight while I wait for man to get home, I am gonna play minecraft! Perfect wind-down game seeing as steam still hasn't gotten back to me on my account yet (its been 2 months.... wtf is going on!) Or might feel up to playing Civ 5. I hate war games but I LOVE civilization games. Blame my ex-husband and father-in-law for that :P many nights playing civ revolution on the x-box. Which makes me think of our nights playing magic the gathering and other tabletop games. Oh the arguments and the tears that were shed. Those were some good times.

We were doing so well with the donations for Japan and then it stopped. I guess people don't wanna hear me sing haha (don't blame you). Anyways ttfn world~

Sketch 9 - sleepmon

Not sure why I drew pokemon... started off as a sleeping cute thing then to Pikachu... then kinda added in the rest. I like how it turned out. Sorry for late. Work was HELL today and didn't get out of there for like 2 hours after my shift ended and then its still frikken snowing so drove slow on the highways and yeah...

I realize I am not very good at drawing fan art haha. oh well. Seeing as it is almost 1 am and I am very tired. I will call it a day! Probably an early post tomorrow or I guess later this day?

Sketch 7 - Memories

I am late in posting. Sorry! Been a VERY long day. Very bad long day. So this picture is of Purtalic and Metablue .... I tried going for a 'teen' look. Not sure if I succeeded or not. I have not drawn them in a while and really wanted too. It was fun! I miss these characters. I miss my MBJ. ANSWER YOUR PHONE WOMAN!!! haha Anyways. Need to keep this one short tonight. Have to get up early. Goodnight world!

Sketch 6 - Hold Me Goodnight

No color post today as it was a VERY long day. I had a request to do a dragon. I used to be good at dragons... not as good as MBJ but they weren't too shabby. However I kinda just went with the flow and an elf showed up there and yeah... thats what came out! Dragon looks horrible elf is got wonky proportions but hey its a 'sketch' blog. I love dragons and elves and fantasy stuff. Its amazing to think if this stuff really is real, hidden among the drabs of our reality. That's what I love about imagination. What's the say that WE are the fantasy to these mystical beings and creatures? Alternate universes, multiplications of galaxy's with life that we will never see! I swear I'm not crazy and I am proud to still have an open mind and an active imagination.

I tested the tattoo machines I bought today. The rotary machines are a lot quieter to the normal ones. So I hope it will help with some customers who are a little tensed after hearing the machine start up. Also I went to go get contacts and my eye prescription renewed only to find out the doctor is only in on Wednesday. Seriously....one day a week? How do they stay in business?On another note ... my separated husband and I will have our 3 year wedding anniversary tomorrow.... weird timbit for you.

Ah sugar.... timbits... uhhhg *drool* how I miss thee~ My trainer started me on a no sugar diet... it sucks and for those not in Canada, Timbits are doughnut balls made from the holes in doughnuts and are from the Canadian coffee chain Tim Hortons. But enough about my day! Good night world! Still looking for sketch ideas!
