Here's a couple more of my more recent things:

Kraehe reacting to an anonymous on tumblr who said: "Caw! Caw!" Caption for this was "You think this is ****in' game?", since ravens/crows would not amuse her at all. Hahaha.

I just wanted to do something with Rue with her hair up and wearing a ballet costume. <3

Quick silly doodle of Fakir and Ahiru from Princess Tutu as squid kids from Splatoon~

“Are you a princess?!”

“M… me?”

“Uh-huh. You’re really kind and pretty and you have nice hair and you remind me of a princess I read about! She could turn into a swan!”

“Ahaha… I’m probably more like a duck than a swan.”

“That’s even cooler!”


A request image I posted on tumblr a few days ago~ They asked for Ahiru with a de-aged Fakir. She’s probably pretty stunned by how much sweeter he is as a kid. :) (Fakir will never live it down, later.)

Ummmm...what exactly is an "Animal Crossing workout"...? Inquiring minds NEED to know!

I've been absolutely great, thank you! : ) Doing some commissions here and there, which are helping a lot with the ridiculous price I had to pay for a plane ticket to my bro's wedding. (It's coming up in just over two weeks. Time flies!) I'm also trying to think of something I can draw for Markiplier to hopefully give to him in person. I'm nervous, but excited! It'll be my first time going to a gaming convention, much less one as large as PAX Prime. Aside from that, just juggling my job, taking my dog for long walks on gorgeous days, LPing/streaming, art and writing, etc. Keeping positive and feeling good~ How have you been doing? Anything exciting happen this summer or yet to come?

And thank you! : ) I'm glad you liked that piece! It's been awhile since I drew Zelink. Maybe I'll get the urge while I'm out west. I'm sure I'll have plenty of free time in those two weeks to do some drawing. (Though I need to work on Fakiru Week stuff, too.)

Oh, Animal Crossing Workout is something I made up for myself. I used to have a really hard time exercising, because I tried to follow YouTube videos or work out videos and such and I'd get frustrated trying to do the moves the way they would do them and eventually give up. What I did for my AC workout is I took a video of AC music I found on Youtube, featuring around 4-5 minutes of each track of all 4 seasons for the AC track in Mario Kart 8. I liked the music a lot and it made me want to move, so I've created my own workout dances to each season and repeat the patterns as the track repeats. I actually had fun thinking up different moves and stuff to use and now working out is so much fun that I overdo it sometimes since I get really into it. But it's done great for me. I feel more energized daily and I've lost 8 pounds, really close to my 125lb goal for the wedding.

Sorry to disappoint if you thought it was a wide-spread thing. XD; I've just come to call it my Animal Crossing workout. Hahaha.

Oh my goodness! AHhh, I'm so honored, I really don't know what to say! Thank you so much! I'm incredibly flattered that my thread and my art could have any influence on introducing/encouraging you into the show! And I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed it, too. I'm really all but speechless, but thank you so very much! I hope future art will not disappoint. <3 Thanks for your kind comments!

Thank youuuuuu~! I'm really glad that you enjoyed them! I had so much fun with the young!Fakir and Ahiru one. It was such a cute idea and inspired me right away. I also just love the idea of him turning back to normal and remembering how he acted and the things he said. He'd blush so hard and be all but mortified with embarrassment. XD Ahiru would have something to tease him with for a long time to come!
 
Here's another recent request sketch of mine:

tumblr_nqvvyoQskE1r2hi3po1_r1_1280.png


They asked for Ahiru and Fakir playing with puppets. And I thought this would be adorable. XD (And awkward, for Fakir. Hahaha.)

Also, yes, his puppet can blush. It's special.

Headcanon: This precious duck loves to be petted and just can’t get enough.

From earlier this year. : ) Still one of my favorites, to be honest. I need to work more with this painter-y style of coloring when I have the time.

Currently, just trying to get my bearings straight to make a piece of art that I can hopefully hand to Markiplier in person at PAX Prime. I'm really nervous, but this will be probably my only chance to meet him and give him something that I drew for him. I still need a spark of inspiration, though... not sure if I want to attempt some realism or stick to my guns with my own style.
 
I hope you're able to back on your feet and motivate yourself to do a piece for Mark, from what a friend has told me, Mark's really grateful from getting stuff from fans and you'd be no exception, I can't really confirm that stuff being true but I bet he'd love to recieve what you'd have to give him, I hope you're going to be able to make him smile from whatever you have planned.

That couple pic is always a lovely sight to see! Can't wait to see what's next.
 
I love your coloring, especially in the artwork you put in the OP. Your drawing style is also really nice and pleasing to look at!
I'm eager to see more drawings from you c:

I hope so, too. I know Mark is a great person and he'd be happy to get anything, but I've always been really shy---it doesn't have a lot to do with specific people, necessarily. Crowds tend to make me anxious in general, but I'm still excited, too. I'm still giving it thought. As to what I want to make, I mean. I won't be able to color anything that I give him by hand, since I've long since gotten rid of all my old colored pencils from high school/college, but I still want to make it as nice-looking in pencil as I can. I still have some time to think on it. Maybe I can try something semi Five Night's at Freddy's themed with one of the animatronics or something.

And thank you! I've still been running low on inspiration/motivation, probably because the trip is so close now that I'm starting to get really stressed and it's hard to focus on creative things. But hopefully I'll catch a break. I appreciate the support!

your style is so very nice! i love the expressions and coloring :)

Thank you so much! : ) I'm really glad that you like the style/expressions/coloring! I like to bring forth emotion in my work when I can, and I usually try to focus that through expressions and/or coloring. That and I have a guilty love of bright colors thanks to many years of idolizing everything Lisa Frank.

I love your coloring, especially in the artwork you put in the OP. Your drawing style is also really nice and pleasing to look at!
I'm eager to see more drawings from you c:

That's really sweet of you to say, thank you! I wish I could color stuff more often, to be honest. It's pretty strenuous on the wrist/hand since it takes many, many hours of work. I generally reserve it more for commission work now and do sketching/drawing to be a bit more relaxing. It balances out! I'm happy to hear that you enjoy both!

And I look forward to posting more art soon. : ) While I don't have a lot of newer colored work to share, I definitely have a lot that I have done in recent years that hasn't been shared. I'll post some of those when I can! Thanks a lot for dropping by my art thread!
 
So, I am now anti-workout after hearing that there is no AC workout...hmph!

Nothing exciting around these parts. I started a new job about two months ago and it is making me SO tired! That pretty much killed our summer...sigh... When is PAX?! I cannot wait to see what you do for Mark!

Awww, sorry about that. ^^; It's a fun way to get yourself hyped for working out, though! Make it fun for yourself and you're probably ten times more likely to keep up with it. Haha. It's been working for me!

Congrats on your new job! Sorry to hear that it's been conflicting with your summer, though. That stinks. I hope you can catch a break soon to have some fun!

PAX Prime is the last weekend of August. I plan to hopefully start a concept sketch of something for Mark tonight. I finally had an idea! I just need to browse through one of his videos to find the image of the thing I need.

Noooo, don't suffocate! And Fakir is a super-dork about things like romance and emotions. It's hilarious. I thought he was such a grumpy sourpuss until about half-way through the series when he revealed the mad-blushing dork of awkwardness. I can't help but abuse it in my art all the time. XD And yes, Fakir is much to shy for puppet kisses, because the puppet looks like her and then he'd imagine being kissed by her and then everything would go downhill from there. Lmao. (I have too much fun making his life hell with art and writing.) I wrote a fanfic once where he proposes to her and a bird craps on his head. And a different one where Ahiru tries to put the ring on the wrong finger, it gets stuck, she yanks it off and it goes flying into the lake and they have to dive in to look for it.

Yeeeeeah, that pretty much sums up Fakir. When he tries to be intimidating and grumpy, that can all change as soon as there's anything to be embarrassed by, usually do with Ahiru. They make a huge running joke of it in the series with her changing back to a girl from a duck without clothes and him flipping out and blushing bright red every time.

I like your coloring, gives it sort of a glossy look that shouts cute~

Thank you so much! : ) My style definitely leans toward the cute end, usually. Haha. Glad you like the coloring!

OMG this is too cute. Your art is really amazing. I wish I had talent like that. Though I'm still practising.. I'll prob never get this good. ;A; so pretty.

Thank you so much! And honestly, it's less talent and more perseverance. : ) No one wakes up and suddenly becomes an incredible artist. Everyone starts somewhere and it takes hard work to climb up. If you keep at it and keep practicing, you'll definitely keep improving and go places. Don't put a bar up for what you think you can't achieve---set the bar high and keep striving for it.

You'll be amazed, overjoyed, and proud when you get there. Never give up and always strive to improve! With time and effort, I know you can do it. : )

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine~

A piece of Lucas I did somewhat recently. Left it as an unshaded sketch for now as I may very well color it at some point. Perhaps after I get through commission work when I get home from my trip.
