These two characters are very near and dear to my heart. If you're ever wondering who this "Spade and Lyria" are that keep popping up all over my gallery, I recommend you take a look at this piece. :)

Random Favourites

I don't favorite often at all, especially artwork, as I'm far pickier about the kind of artwork I like versus photography.

So expect a lot of awesome art (Especially romantic stuff. <3), thoughtful gifts people have given me, and a ton of golden retriever photos. ;)

Critiques


This is probably one of my favorite works of yours yet. I'm a sucker for "scenes" that have been painted, and this is no exception...


As with all of your sketches, your lines are beautifully clean and the weight you give them is wonderful, beautiful job with that. Yo...


I really like this sketch. It definitely feels very romantic, and I'm a sucker for romance. So kudos there on the "warmth" of the...

Hello everyone!

I hope everything is well with all of you guys, my watchers and friends. :D Everything's good here! Mahlon got in a fender bender last Wednesday, he's totally fine, some chick hit him from behind, but his back bumper fared beautifully. - No dents, just scratched up paint and a screwed up license plate. :P The girl was real sweet about it though, told the cop she hit him and everything so she was super honest and wasn't bitchy at all. XD So we've been collecting the police report and estimates and all that stuff to file a claim with her insurance company so his car can be back to all sorts of prettied up. :D

I've been contemplating doing a series of art videos, sort of "teaching" tools, like tutorials but not ones that suck like most of them here on DA. (I know that sounds so mean but I'm not a fan of most DA tutorials. XD There are some great ones though. :) ) Let me know if you guys would be interested.

As far as art goes, I've got three paintings sitting just waiting to be finished. The two in my WIP shots on my main page (Yeah, they're two different paintings, notice the wildly different lighting. :D), and another that's a portrait of my dog. I'm stuck on all three of them, mostly on composition. I hate composition, I suck at it 'cause I stupidly NEVER plan a piece before I begin painting. I should start sometime. XD

So yeah, hopefully I'll get over my art slump soon and get around to finishing all of these paintings I have. :P

I look so snooty in my picture, hehe, but I'm not! I'm actually a very sweet girl.

I am an artist. I've been doing digital art since I was 13. - That would be about 9 years now. I love realism, especially realistic art with a tweak of fantasy or flair to it.

Feel free to watch me, I adore meeting fellow artists! :)

Hey, remember me?...don't answer that. Anyway, I took your advice (which was how long ago....don't answer that either) - and got a realistice grass tutorial for one of my newer pics. It's small but it's a start. Check it out: [link]

And you like golden retrievers...AWESOME. They are my dog of choice, they're so flipping adorable and goofy. (At least, mine is, but they say males are goofier than females.) But I'm in love with his deep expressive eyes. XD Okay, done rambling, sorry.

I LOVE love love golden retrievers. They're my favorite breed in the world. :P I've got one, too, and he is a TOTAL goofball. XD I have noticed the boy goldens are a bit goofier than the girls, the girls seem more sweet and motherly to me. - We used to have a female golden when I was a kid and she was the sweetest most grandmotherly dog in the world. (We got her when she was pretty old, we only had her for two years but she was precious. :) ) My current golden, Spiffy, he's a sweety but he's DEFINITELY not a "caretaker". LOL He's a big baby. xD
