Pcb Milling Time! #othermill

I love animated music videos and I love 70's inspired graphic design and I love clever combinations of 2D and 3D animation and I love this!

A crooked crook with a crooked grin >:D Hurr. I gave up on trying to be efficient with my work, it's just not me. Well, I GUESS I can make it me if I have to, but I don't have to like it! Pattern from squidfingers.

reblogging on the off-chance any artists who follow me haven't read this WONDERFUL post full of excellent advice. Its ALL here :D

Character design and drawing are tome-sized topics and even if I had all the answers (I don’t - I have a lot to learn), I’m not sure I could communicate them effectively. I’ve gathered some thoughts and ideas here, though, in case they’re helpful.

First, some general things: - Relax...

Worldbuilding Wednesday

I'd like to keep this going as often as possible. Especially lately because drawing has been... well. What I've been doing looks like the activity of drawing, but the results look like I shoved my pen up my nose and repeatedly slammed my face against the pages. Ngh. ANYWAY here are past ww posts for perusal, maybe it'll spark some interest.

Discuss?

Ohhh my gosh I love your art KEYBOARD MASH MASH MASH do you ever think you'll do commissions again?

I am IN FACT taking commissions at this current juncture in space-time! $33 icons, $66 portraits, $88 3/4 body pinups! 30 dolla up front for latter two, paypal only, email aysha.shehim at gmail dot com. Please provide a staggering wall of text description and ref images if possible.

Feel free to help me be a slightly-less-starving artist. It's slightly less cliche! D:

The Open Roooooaaad

This drawing is old!  I feel like sharing it cos I still love it and is stupidly still one of my favorite portraits I've ever done, because real people are so firetrucking hard to draw. Hng. Plus Bob and Harry (from the Dresden Files) made the most adorable odd couple on tv (more than the actual original one /blasphemy). I'm a horrible person who actually preferred the tv show to the books, even though I love both, but honestly I think Paul Blackthorne's Harry is so much more likeable and it just took me FOREVER to get over book Harry's long black trenchcoat, being one of the things that makes it really impossible for me to like urban fantasy very much LOL

Plus I mean HELLO Terrence Mann, the tv writers giving Bob an awesome human backstory, making him fussy and English, FTW. Also since I'm already opening myself up for some flames I might as well add that Jim Butcher's potrayal of female characters is kind of... gross. THERE I SAID IT

Oh god I'm really rambling here.

Zazzle Quality!, a set on Flickr.

Hey guys! This is the amazing print quality of a print off of Zazzle. They do an amazing job and are SUPER fast. This is a print of my friend Aysha’s THE PALADIN, which I am so happy I bought! So I can totally vouch for the quality! YAY!

Prints of my masterpiece totally still for sale guys *plug plug plug* 8x16" 15x30" and 26x52"!

Madranek looks like a pretty sweet guy. What's his story/what's he like/got anything interesting to tell us/etc? :) Spill! <3

Madranek is a minor councilman for a small wealthy province of Esterahad, he's psychic and is sort of a mentor figure to Lillia who is a very young powerful psychic. Because my story is mostly about politics a huge portion of my characters are politicians of some kind D: 

Aaaaand of course the designs I finally settled on. It seems to have stuck cos I haven't been interested in changing them much for a few years now (actually I just checked, about eight years holy shit that's not a few at all!). Like I feel it reached some kind of creative maturity because they incorporate everything I learned about actual functional outfits over the years, but of course I still make them as fancy and stylish as possible. Because they are elves.
