This is inspired by the paper cutout art at the beginning of the Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

Stop these shenanigans at once >:V

Holy cow, did Pokémon Diamond and Pearl really come out in 2007? Man, I feel like it wasn’t four years ago. ;_; But wow, this is probably the oldest art on this site. I hate how I lined and colored it, there are so many things about it that stand out to me as glaring errors, but somehow this is still one of my favorite drawings. XD

I was immediately enamored with Drifloon and Drifblim. SO ROUND. THOSE LITTLE BUTTON EYES.

So here’s Dawn using Fly.

I love all these little critters and the crazy, colorful world they inhabit. This one is Kizatchi, the big bro of the Violet Family, one of the many possible outcomes from the Familitchi generation of the toys.

He’s a little mischievous. >:3

OMG Tamagotchi… This is mama Majorite, big sis Makiko, and li’l sis Belltchi out for a day of shopping.

I drew this was right when I was rediscovering how amazing and adorable those little things are. The art style… the unique/insane characters… the toys and games are amazingly addictive. And there is an anime, and a movie, and another anime, and a pretty impressive Flash portal to play in.

Can’t help myself. Love everything about Tamagotchi.

Ohmygosh you guys. D:  I came home from work last night and found that the cord for my tablet had been severed in half!

I’m not totally certain how it happened, but my theories are 1.) My bunny chewed through it.  Seems the most likely, but I dunno, the break is like a clean cut, so maybe not?  Or, 2.) The cord was tugged hard enough that it snapped somehow. O_O

My mom was doing cleaning and vacuuming, so I suppose it’s a possibility from that (I don’t blame my mom at all, she isn’t likely to do something like this even by accident, and even if she did, pulling a cord so hard that it broke would have been something that she noticed and she didn’t say anything about it to me when I got home, and was surprised when I told her about it).

It could also have been entirely my own fault, ’cause sometimes I’ll sit down at my computer or move and just tug on wires all the time accidentally.  Still, it would take some serious force to pull a cord in half, and I think I would have noticed, I guess?

So anyway, I’ve already ordered a new one and it’s on its way (Amazon is actually selling them right now for cheaper than Wacom’s listed price, plus there just happens to be a deal going on with free shipping), but I’m still bummed about this because it puts a damper on my plans to get some introductory comics and doodles churned out for this place within its first week of opening.

Talk about poor timing, huh?!

BUUUUUT all is not totally lost.  I’m going to be spending the next few days filling up the art and portfolio pages with older art and fan art (previously, I had not shared fan art on this site at all, so I’m going back through allllll of my old art to make thumbnails and pages for each of them).  So we’ll be seeing an influx of that going on!

So, this ended up being a blessing in disguise, because catching up on all of my art that I hadn’t added here yet was probably going to be something I would have procrastinated on for weeks if this didn’t happen! XD

Let’s hope strokes of bad luck like this don’t turn out to be a regular thing!

‘Till next time, sweeties! xoxo
