Welcome to
Since my computer was recently rebuilt, Photoshop keeps crashing on me after a few brush strokes. It's really annoying having to save after doing one or two things and reopening it every so often. Something about not enough RAM or a scratch disk, but I know my computer has lots of memory, so some sort of setup is probably messed up.
Also, I updated the Commission page! Yes, commissions are now open, so please take a look and see what you think.

First posting of the new year here. All in the same style, pencil with an overlay of color. Under Art Contests we have Sensedog, and for DarkAges we bring Isis, another Neikie, and the sisters Anya and Miang. Under Requests and Gift Art we have a piece for Sinspiration, Yalannery, and Rose.

Suppose it's time for another update. I added Leogha to the requests section. I've also done several new arts for a charity fundraiser on Gaiaonline, but I'll just link it here rather than post them.

It's been a while since I last entered a contest on Gaiaonline, so I decided to try out a couple. Which of course means that I've added Jean and Ora and Moonblossom to the contest section of the gallery.

Been a while since my last update. I added eight new pictures to the Darkages section. They're for members of my guild in the DarkAges game. Also added two pictures to the Sketches section. I probably should be adding more sketches, but ah well.4/20/07:
I decided to make a seperate category for the DarkAges art that I do, since I might start getting a small collection of arts done. And on that topic, I added HatorriHanzo to the DA section. I also added Sora Hunter, which was a gift art to the same person who I did the SushiDatabase picture for.

Two new pieces were added. One of them being Cadhla which was done as a request from a friend on the game DarkAges. I also added Sun's Light, which is stuffed with more symbolism than I usually do. I really love symbolism though. This is one of the goddesses from the game Darkages. The picture is reaallly big, so if anyone wants it smaller to see it, just ask me.

Added Malik to the Request and Gift Art section. The person who's character this belongs to was extremely nice throughout the whole process, so it was rather fun drawing the character. I'm actually not quite finished as I have to make a few changes, but I figured I'd add it now. I also added Immortal Neikie. This actually comes with a nice little story. The character in this picture is a mentor of mine in a game (DarkAges) that I played some time ago. Due to a few things, I was unable to return to the game so I sort of dropped out without saying good bye to anyone. Then, over half a year later, she contacts me out of nowhere. Apparently she was able to find me through my gallery where someone had spotted the first picture I gave to her. So now I'm playing the game again. The graphics aren't the greatest, but there's a lot more depth to the game than other battle rpg things. I really enjoy the learning aspect of it with mythology and whatnot, but I shall end my rant now before I dwell on it for too long.

Added Fly with the Stars to the contest section. This has to be the first picture I've drawn on the computer with such a detailed background o.o The actual image size is larger, but I decided to shrink it a fair bit here. I lost track of how long it took, but it certainly took a while.

After working on and off throughout the month, I'd say that the website is pretty much completed. I have two new arts not on the previous website, RuneScape and The New Hourglass. I've also added ^Fluffy_Sheets^ which was a Gaia commission.

Finished Winding Fates and added it to Misc. section. It's really big, so if more people are wanting it smaller then just send an email asking about it. These are original characters belonging to a close friend of mine who is participating in NaNoWriMo this month.

Finished Isis which went into the Gaia Contest Entries section. Took a few hours between three days to complete. Haven't done water before, but wanted to keep it sort of 'painterly' looking so it looks a bit sloppy, however I felt it fit in fairly well. I have a few other pieces I'm working on, but they aren't complete and don't know when I'll have enough time to finish them. I'll put them up as soon as I finish though.
