Featured Artists * Kiriban List & Info

May Featured Artist:

Ma-chan has been watching me forever, and I've been watching her grow as an artist for just as long. Her whimsical style with character design and color always makes me smile. Please show her some love, and remember: She offers art commissions at very nice prices



Okay, okay, so I am being a little biased this month. Just remember to keep sending me suggestions for future features, even if you've sent me one already!! I only ask that you keep suggesting different artists This feature will be ongoing and announced every month.

Last Kiriban: 10,000 Pageviews
We had TWO winners this time!! The official winner is who messaged me several hours before ! However, I didn't specify that only the first person to send me the screenshot would win a prize, sooo this time around, BOTH have won In the future, I will only give the prize to the first person to note me with the screenshot ^o^

Artwork Updates
So, by now, you've all probably seen my picture of the fair judging results ^o^ This is by FAR the biggest win I have taken at the county fair, and I am very happy that the style is finally being embraced by the community!

On more personal terms, I will be working on the kiriban in the coming weeks--as soon as the fair is complete. I still have a load of work to do there, but I may be able to start these while I am demoing for the gallery workshop. I also have a new epic work in progress, and it's proving to be more full of awesome than my typical work I think my art skill just leveled up xD

Cosplay Updates
I will be learning the artisan craft of Leatherworking in the next few months!! This is in effort to produce even MORE authentic replica costumes. I am very excited to tears over my ideas for an upcoming costume, and I hope to have a high enough skill level to make the most of my plans. I will be picking up my shelved projects in a few weeks (after completion of those kiriban, specifically). Summer Plans: 3-6 NEW costumes to debut.

Convention Life
I have plans to attend several conventions this summer!! I will be sure to give convention updates after them, and fair warnings to a few people I watch on here that are in the area We all know I like to keep my plans on the down-low xD

For now, in efforts to keep my inbox clear, I want to confirm that I will be there.

If you can, please make the pilgrimage to BlizzCon! The tickets are expensive, I know, but it's WELL worth the ticket price! I'd love to meet any of you there, and am always happy to pose for pictures. Keep in mind that Blizzard usually has a photography contest at the convention, and I'd be happy to give you my time to help you win I'm also up for answering any questions you may have about my costumes, as usual! (Don't forget that you can ask me about them in notes as well!)

Aside from that, I am looking forward to replenishing my Copic supply this summer!! I've ran a load of my markers dry with all the work I've been putting out, so I am hoping for huge discounts for my future bulk purchases I got a great deal last time, so this shouldn't be a problem at all ^^

Also, Attention dA Artists attending Anime Expo!! If you have a table at Artists' Alley this year, let me know!! I am already looking out for a few people that have ran this by me, and I want to have a list of people to watch for when I make my long trek though the convention hall! This could go without saying, but I am always frequently stopped in my costumes (this year will be especially crazy), so I like to hit up AA EARLY on the first day of the con to avoid crowds. If you're going to be there, just comment here or send me a note so I can put you on my list of people to search for I love supporting artists, and I'd like to be able to at least say "Hi!" to those of you who play comment tag with me!

Semi-Important Personal Notes of Mild Interest to My Watchers
I am going back to school in fall, and NOT for what others may expect. It has nothing to do with art or cosplay. In fact, I am going in to finish my prereqs for xxxx (something really awesome! edited for privacy grats to my watchers who read this already, as was my intent). This means a VERY busy upcoming schedule for...years. I still promise to keep everyone updated on my goings-on, and will still be making great cosplay and art! Thank you for your support, and wish me luck with the insane classes I'll be taking (Organic Chemistry may be the death of me! Yikes!!!)
