Shout-outs and Scary Math Teachers

School. Another daunting year begins. Well, most of my classes have been good so far. Except my math class. That teacher... He intimidates me. Let's hope that I can switch classes. o_O

ANYWAY.

The first draft of Peacekeeper's Essence has officially been finished! Yay! Now, the next step is to... edit. And send book proposals. Lots and lots of book proposals. Good thing I did my homework.

I happened to do a digital rendering of Demiri. And dear razzburries... I cannot draw dragons like I do cats. T^T

I'll get to Nikki next, but I also have another project under my belt. 

I'm making a PMV. For those who don't know what that is, it's a picture music video. Like a slideshow, but with effects and awesome. Since I don't have the time (or patience) to animate on top of homework, writing, and just art in general, I just draw each panel. 

It's been over a week and I've only gotten :30 through the song. And it's 3:30 long. I have my work cut out for me, that's for sure. But all this drawing on Photoshop should give me plenty of time to practice and the process should speed up as I mess around with it. My latest mistake cost me three days on a single frame... But here's a frame to tease you all until it's done. Estimating about a month from now, if homework doesn't get too intensive. 


Sorry for the cartoony quality. It's just soooo much easier and faster to draw than smudging the colors to make it look like fur with out the line art. But I'll drop the style, hopefully for good, once this project is done. 

Moving on the shout-outs. I have two. 

First, if any of you have been starving for Legend of Korra Intel while waiting for the next season, I know just the youtuber for you. Avatarjeseal does a great job keeping it short and sweet. Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/AvatarJesal?feature=g-user-u

Also, I found a great artist who specializes in drawing animals in a realistic, beautiful way and was devastated when I found out she barely had any views or subscriptions. She also has a Devianart.

And just to show you guys just how awesome she is, here's a speedpaint of her most recent speedpaint. I think she uploaded it yesterday actually. Check out her channel. I want to draw like that someday.


That's all for now! Have a great school year!

  1. Woah...Golden phoenix is awesome. I checked her deviant page, and my siblings all made loud noises of approval over my shoulders while I browsed. Thanks. :)

    I'm looking forward to the PMV. :)

  2. You should also see Kaylink on deviant art. I can't decided weither I like her style better. I'd have to try out her's before I decided which method I choose. But Phoenix inspired me to do Scattered Lights.
