New Commission Site and Portfolio

Moved to carrd for my commission info site and my portfolio!I think it looks a bit better now.

Prices and tos are pretty much the same but I've changed the wording a bit and cleaned some elements up, so hopefully things are clearer. Commissions are still open!

Wip - Guardian lion lines done, currently painting the background

[tashanimation]

Trying to do a more background heavy illustration for the fantasy felines project.

This one might be a bit experimental, I'm planning to digitally ink and colour the guardian lion with a more painty background. I'll see how it works out.

A sappy, corny little valentines illustration for me and my boyfriend.

A pair of little valentine's themed dragon designs. A bit sappy but I had fun with these! Digital - Clip studio

Commissions are open! Two slots available!

Some changes for the new year, even if you’ve commissioned me before, please check out my updated commission site. And terms of service.

Bringing back digital sketches After some more experimenting with clip studio, I’ve figured out a slightly quicker digital sketch style I’m happy with. Just note that these have more limited edits and are intended more for simple ideas and exploring concepts.

Changes to digital colour add ons. My digital colour style has gotten a bit more detailed lately. I enjoy working that way, but it has gotten more time consuming. So, I’ve increased the price a bit, but I’m also offering a cheaper simpler watercolour-ish style if folk just want a splash of colour.

Designs and reference sheets Honestly my favorite commissions are ones where I get to design something! I’m offering a set of three digital concept sketches and reference sheets. I suppose I did have these on offer before, but I have more info on pricing now.

Fuzzy creature sketch, also figuring out a slightly quicker watercolour-ish colour style on clip studio.

This has some charm but unfortunately I think I prefer the sketch. I think I should have gone for pencil instead of ink cause I lost the softness of the original drawing.

Cold press fabriano artistico paper. Schmincke watercolours, coloured pencils, microns and postercolour highlights. Some digital clean up.

Sketch for a winter illustration while its still January. A little robin gryphon on the hunt for some berries. Planning to finish this with ink and watercolours. And maybe use it as a mini print and card design for winter next year?

Digital - Clip Studio Paint

[tashanimation]

Experimenting with toned paper, col erase pencil and white pencil and pen.

It was fun! Probably not my favorite way to draw as I struggled to get the definition I like and depending on the lighting is was kinda hard to see the pencil. Nice for quick drawings though.

Hi!

Hope everyone had a great holiday and a Happy New Year!

I'm back home and I'm easing myself back into my usual art routine.

For the past while I've been feeling a bit disconnected from my work. I've not really felt satisfied with it and it doesn't really feel like "me" but then I'm not sure what "me" is. It's hard to put into words. Its not a big deal though, its not burnout or anything, I still want to draw. But I think I need to step back and think about the direction I want to go in, maybe spend some time doing studies of things I like, experiment, go back to traditional for a while.

I don't want this to come off as whiny cause I'm genuinely looking forward to these things! But my posting might be a bit irregular and I'll be closing commissions for a while.

Also, I got new pet rats! Four adorable boys! They are quite skittish at the moment, I only got them on Tuesday. So I'll be trying to get them used to me for a while. Maybe I'll draw them once I figure out names for them all!

Last concept sketch before I try to decide on and finalize the guardian lion design. I like to think this a male version of the last sketch. Digital - Clip studio paint

[tashanimation]

Still picking at this design, thinking a bit more about the fur this time.

Digital - Clip studio paint

[tashanimation]

Digital sketch of a guardian lion for my fantasy felines thing. I thought my last idea was a little bland so I looked to the statues some more. I combined a little more of the dog-ish-ness and some primate looks and I like this a lot more. I'll be doing manticores and sphinx in this project as well so I think this fits more. Hopefully it still reads as feline
