OTP.

I didn't know what OTP even stood for at first. I was really into Kenshin when I saw it used on a website. Well. This is my OTP.

The groove has returned.

I haven't been feeling like working on art as of late. I am glad that it has passed! I worked on this piece AGES ago when I was trying to do a chapter end piece for the first segment of XL Gal. Abby and Tabby, being frienemies. It is unfinished because backgrounds are hard and dumb, but I will get there.

All of a sudden, Ryoko.

Again with the fanart, I know. But hey, it keeps me sharp, and it's fun to do! I used some reference for the colors of Ryoko's basic outfit, and applied them in a more hipster fashion. I am pleased with the outcome. I still say that Tenchi Muyo would have been SOOO much better WITHOUT Tenshi.

Xtra Large Gal Prototype pages

Come read my comic.

I am revising it, but I think it’s still a fun read.

Dragon Hatcher!

Quick doodle of me as a dragon hatcher!

Horrible customers make for great comics.

I wear a small silver band on my left ring finger. I started doing this when a creepy guy kept hitting on me and following me in school last semester. I got used to it, and frankly, it's kinda nostalgic for me. When I dated my boyfriend in high school, I had a ring to signify I was taken. I keep it on now as a reminder of that because I'm a huge stupid girl about it. Anyway, now that you know why I wear it, this comic will make sense.

Fanart funtimes!

I am so excited for the relaunch of the Sailor Moon animated series you guys. I'm not proud of it. But good lord. It's my childhood. It's the show that got me into drawing people. The first show that made me realize that girls can kick some SERIOUS ass. Which brings me to my doodle I did today, with more to follow soon. I have drawn Makoto Kino, or as I have always known her, Lita. Sailor Jupiter was the one I looked the most like as a little girl, not to mention we shared similar traits. I enjoyed cooking, and I was picked on in school, but I was so strong that the kids ran from me. Lita is my blood brother. I know her FEEL, man. <-- Ruth gets full credit for introducing me to this bit of ebonics. I always thought Lita was a badass. In the manga, she smokes regularly. I always imagined her being the leader of a biker gang. She is also the most likely to have skull tattoo.

Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit!!?!

My best buddy Ruth and I went to the Gaultier exhibit at the De Young Museum. It was the coolest exhibit set up I've ever had the pleasure of walking through. The first room was full of figures that had their faces projected on them like the gypsy fortune teller in the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland. Not to mention he has dresses that were inspired by mermaids. I am actually in the process of drawing that one. I was really happy that cameras got the green light. Now that I have a smart phone, I'll be able to take better quality pictures, especially of his S&M lines of clothing. Yes, it is as HOT as it sounds! I did a few doodles though, that are finished. The first one is actually in the first room, and the second is almost all the way through. I will be the first to admit they are "inspired by" drawings at best, since I haven't been back to properly study the dresses. I do plan to do that, but for now, just enjoy the debauchery that is my drawing.

I know it's been a spell since I've been uploading stuff here. Alot of that is that I have been using Tumblr and Instagram. You can find me here!

Stellar Four Banner!

I did a banner for a friend's website! You can now check it out here!

The ape preparation has begun.

I realize that APE is gonna creep up on me if I'm not careful, so I have started reviewing my XtraLarge Gal pages again. I think I have finally settled on her costume design, so it is less offensive and not as unflattering. I spent some time today, after doodling an Awful Times comic (that I will post later), I did so doodles of the new costume, and drawing style. I may just do it all traditionally inked. I really like the look and feel. I just don't have the experience with photoshop to do it in a way that I like it. That is fine, and the first story will be easy to redo In this way, so I am at least excited about that.

Avengers again!

The cosplay continues with yours truly as Black Widow. There really isn't much more to say. This is totally stress relief drawing!

My Iron Man.

I am having so much fun drawing my boyfriend. It's a problem. But at least this one is awesome. I think a themed draw is gonna have to happen. Next? Me as Black Widow!

PERMISSION GRANTED.

One day, I was doodling my boyfriend in my sketchbook. Since the subject was on Disney, I drew him as a few Disney related people, along with other friends, just for funzies. He is a good sport to put up with this. I present to you, My Little Merman.

I don't why,
I don't know how,
But I've been drawn as a merman somehow,
Rachel, watch and you'll see,
As of today you will be,
Out of my world.

Disney Friends!

So, as part of my warm-up today, I drew my friends Amy and Ruth as Maid Marian and Aurora. I really enjoy the approach I took with these doodles because they are very different from my normal works. I am doing my best to paint in photoshop more to improve my digital coloring skills. It's a good start! Before I did this drawing today, I did something awful. If I get permission to post it, I will.

Alan Wake!

So somehow the best video game in YEARS slipped under my radar until my boyfriend put it in my hands. It's Supernatural, Silent Hill, Stephen King, and a Del Toro creep factor all in one! I love it. I doodled a thank you, but it's also that I just really enjoy drawing my silly boyfriend. Moral of Alan Wake: Flashlights are your friends.

Fun doodle today!

Had some fun today drawing my boyfriend and his cat! I really love the moment I managed to capture here! He just LOVES that cat. He is growing on me to. So furry. I'm talking about my boyfriend. I love cats naturally.

The Anime Pokemon Project!

It's time to reveal my first piece. Thanks to facebook, I was able gather some great ideas for anime characters from my friends, then the fun begins. Pairing them with their perfect pokemon. Lum from Urusei Yatsura was one of the suggests I really liked, since I enjoy Ranma 1/2 so much. It was a little before my time, but I have seen a bit of the show, and the manga. Picking her pokemon was easy, since I've opened the door for shiny pokemon. A shiny Growlithe is actually yellow. I love all dog pokemon. Anyway, perfect color to match Lum. I realized when I finished that this is a little dark, since It may mean that Shiny Growlithes or Arcanines were killed to make Lum's suit. Thankfully the stripes on both evolutions of pokemon are too wide,so I think we are in the clear. =end nerd explanation= Anyway, the finished work turned out pretty damn adorable. I am very excited to continue the project! If you have any suggestions for me, feel free to comment on this post!

And, we are back!

I use the royal we, since I am the QUEEN of procrastination. Sorry for the long delay on new stuff, for those of you who care to follow me on this endeavor. We will start with my favorite warm-ups. FANART. We will start with one of my favorite characters from Game of Thrones. He really does have some pretty fantastic hair. Thanks to going to Fanime, quite a few drawings from my childhood emerged. First, I got it in my head to join the pretty soldiers in their adolescence. Then I thought, summer camp. Then this drawing happened. Then, thanks to Adventure Time fanart in artist alley, This drawing happened. Then I thought about the only harem anime I liked. For those who are not aware of what that means, it is pretty self explanatory. It's an anime with one guy, SURROUNDED by girls who are wanting to be his one and only. It's usually really sexist and annoying. Ranma 1/2 is full of strong females, so it's not AS painful. And! He is technically a strong female half of the time anyway. Then, thanks to Diablo 3, this happened. I thought about being a demon hunter. If you play table top games, it's the closest class to a rogue. I just thought it would be funny to draw the female huntress shunning creatures that were not demons. This one is actually just for "grins and giggles". My boyfriend hates Adventure Time. He was almost perfect. I had no choice but to draw him in the style, and finally came up with a place for myself in the land of Ooo. A soda genie. I will have to take the time and do this drawing again on Photoshoppe, so it looks more fluid with the show art. I hope that makes up for at least some of my absence, and I will try to have more out soon!

Jerkwater colors!!!

I finally did some work for jerkwater as a comic, but until I have the website up, I will post the pages here!

I'm not dead!

Had a bit of a lapse in art the last few days. I did some pretty cool stuff with white pen. Trying hard to draw with color in mind, as opposed to line.

Also, working on my WEBSITE is taking alot of time away from me. I did do the 404 drawing! WOO!

And can I just say, I love love love that blogger is not putting uploaded pictures at the top of my entry! I am so excited to not have to copy/paste them into the right places. I just can't believe that something changed and I actually liked it. I feel like I should throw a party or something.
