No explanation needed??

August 2011

Toadette is having a tea party in Flower Fields, and all of the flowers are invited! ^o^

But only the pretty ones. BI

Haha, oh man, this was crazy fun, and didn’t have a lot of planning behind it (freeform is great! *o*), and ASDKFSLAFJK COLORS, and tea parties are awesome. The flowers (Petunia and Rosie) are from the Flower Fields world in Paper Mario, and while I was looking up reference pictures it made me want to play Paper Mario again so bad. @_@

Toadette and Mario and stuff belongs to Nintendo

This is Maimai, a new character introduced on the Wish Me Mell blog. Mell herself is a newcomer to the Sanrio character lineup as well. I love the pastel colors and scrapbooky pressed flowers and super sweet storybook blog updates. ; 3;~

To achieve a softer coloring look and to keep my coloring process more free-flowing rather than tedious, I tried out putting all of my colors on TOP of the lineart layer. c: It created a softness that maybe no one notices but me? XD

Fun fact: When I’m browsing the Wish Me Mell blog, my autotranslate keeps turning the name “Maimai” into “Snails.” Okay.

XDcreationz is an Etsy shop owned by my friend! 😀 You’ll also find her selling her cute fleece hats and Steampunk jewelry at some conventions such as Otakon and Katsucon!

She commissioned me to design a logo/mascot for her and this octopus is the result! Collaborating with friends is fun!

You can commission me, too! 8D

Maybe you noticed, but I kind of didn’t post for about a month. XD; So, here’s my explanatory comic.

Things were crazy for a week or so there, but I think I’m happy now. n_n Any-price commissions and Fiverr gigs are helping. A lot.

And I bought a Pinkie Pie! 8D This is the first Friendship is Magic toy I’ve finally allowed myself to indulge, besides the rather cheap McDonald’s toys. I went to the store with the intention of buying Fashion Style Rarity, but found that she’d been replaced with Fashion Style Pinkie Pie, who isn’t my favorite pony but by golly I am ridiculously happy with her.
