***important!*** [14 May 2007|07:23pm]
I'm going to be closing down this journal soon in favor of posting art in my personal journal - [info]gab - from now on. Most art will be in public entries, so feel free to friend me and not comment on the "friends only" entry if you don't want to read a bunch of rambling. Otherwise, you're more than welcome to join my mutual friendslist.

This journal will stay up as kind of an archive, but I will probably unfriend everyone at some point, and lock comments... not sure of what the best way to "close" a journal without deleting it, so please give any advise you have.

Thanks to those of you who've supported me - hope to see you on the other side!

not dead, just busy [14 Apr 2007|01:46am]


OH NOES A POKEMON. D: oh, leave me alone. It's something! I've been sketching at work, though I don't have much to show for it yet... hopefully soon. I want to get back onto the commissions train and get all caught up and awesome, but I'm sure you've heard me say THAT one before. :D Haha.. ah... oh well.

Alumni is a vanilla chu! I tried out Bindi's cutout tutorial... and I like the result, even though it has an outline. X)

tailor sketches and POKEMON ohno! [20 Feb 2007|11:28pm]


OC color doodle that I did while thinking about that novel I'm supposed to be writing....



Some character sketches from The Tailor.



Akito and Gab from PMMush! That would be me and Tibek for those of you who don't know. Sibling Furrets!

pokemon!!112 [29 Jan 2007|12:01pm]


Took a 10 minute break from commissions to doodle something fun. This is Thad, who is currently my Gengar at PMMush... only... now he's a Clefairy? I dunno. It was fun and cute, and that's what matters. Sorry that it's another pokemon... I can't help that they're so fun to draw!

more illustration work... [16 Jan 2007|01:07am]


This is the medallion so far... I have to see if it will be approved for it to be "finished," but I like it as-is. It's for that one book cover thingy #1.

One of these days I will draw fun things again. :(

apologies for the size [03 Dec 2006|04:57pm]


If this is too big, please let me know and I'll make a smaller version. :( Here is the description, taken from my DA account:

Sorry I've gone so long without posting art... I wanted my 100th upload to be something special, so I went INSANE and decided to draw 100 random characters of mine! I worked on it here and there over the last month between web commissions, work, etc. ... so, wow. Man. o_o I am SO glad that this is done.

Now, for names. Those with *'s are pokemon/morph-related.

Row 1: Lore, Kysouke, Takiru, Sam, Gabriella*, Ralskrpluf, Damone, Ruse, Oliana*, Honeybee
Row 2: Charikon, Taiwo, Ryotsu*, Dusty, Ruben, Rallito, Laura*, Achean, Abigail, Trent
Row 3: Takker*, Mouse, Watson, Benji, Taiga, Talcum*, Kolo*, Mon, Clarice, Oku
Row 4: Camouflage, Cody, Nasloke, Midge*, Dokuen, Alumni*, Folade*, Aida, Thad*, Spark
Row 5: Sno, Sherbet, Nika, Peki, Tyler*, Katalina, Loria, Dawn, Kolia, Maverick*
Row 6: Clay, Skunk, Sheba*, Ruben, Arrlo, Shayen, Jay, Snake*, Tara, Floof
Row 7: Kioda, Guard, Juki, Deja, Fury, Boon, Rocky*, Rustin, Stripels, Nio
Row 8: Kalja'Lei, Blanket Squirrel, Lucent, Moped, Julia, Kesho, Kache, Karistaru, Fox, Lokri
Row 9: Anna*, Anne, Star*, Trigger, Dag, Bublafire*, Rocket*, Emily, Willow*, Tara
Row 10: Ivy, Cocoa, Lubaya, C-13, Bonnie*, Hero, Morbid*, Lucky, The Can Man, Gab (Me!)

So there you have it. Most of them have stories, too, so I didn't just make this up a month ago. I've been creating these characters since I was in 5th grade... take THAT. :)

Also, I've uploade the OCWPE page, so you can retroactively watch me draw/ink/color this monstrosity... among other images: http://monsterink.com/Gab/ocwpe/index.html

yay things [14 Nov 2006|02:30am]
I finished that illustration for a book cover. It's here, but I kind of hate it right now... hence why it's an a href, not an img. :) I'll probably take it, crop it, and revamp it later into something I like. An 'illustrator's cut' thing.

But, I do have some adorable Robot sketches behind the cut! ) I won't go into what these are for right now, but I am working on getting them to be as cute as possible. Anyone have any suggestions for what can make a robot cute? Or, do you have any FAVORITE robots of your own?! :D Please share!

some stuff [07 Nov 2006|05:50pm]


Yay! Alumni and little Ryotsu. I wanted to show off Alumni's birthmark. There is more art behind the cut )

new markings? [15 Oct 2006|03:16am]


Originally sketched in February, I recently revamped this for the new friends-only pic on my personal lj, [info]gab -- ooo shiny. Gab's starting to get a new look, too. I am well pleased. OC and Photoshop.

pokemon art [08 Oct 2006|02:35am]


Eevee, done in MS paint last month for an SA forum thread. I'm still doing commissions, but these little doodles tend to be authorized for posting more than the commission stuff... because, you know, I'm the one with the authorty. o_o Stuff.

Behind the cut: Two more pokes! You don't want to miss. :D Gosee! )

Kyosuke - Forest of Ages [15 Sep 2006|02:28am]


Apologies for the large image. I started this in August as a birthday present to myself... and worked on little bits and pieces of it when I had time. I finally got fed up and finished coloring the wings, etc. tonight. I'm so glad that it's done, and I really really like it. <3 for Kyosuke. I hope the atmosphere comes off right. Done in Open Canvas and Photoshop.

the gab behind the gab [25 Aug 2006|09:11pm]


You know, if I were skinny and a cartoon. o_o

Krista's commission! [14 Aug 2006|10:56am]


Orlinia, a character in [info]sharyamato's novel. Hurrah, another donation commission down! :D Not entirely sure if I like the stroke around her, though. Hm.

Moon's Commission [13 Aug 2006|02:49am]


This one's for Moon. One more down on the donation/commission chart! Yay! This was done in OC and Photoshop. I'll have another one finished by tomorrow night.

lots of artish [09 Aug 2006|01:18am]


A postit-note drawing from work.


I went through my notebooks from the last couple of months, and found some things to upload. Nothing spectacular, but there are quite a few. All behind Read more... )

one for Lore [08 Aug 2006|01:08am]


I'm still plugging away at those commissions... almost have another two done. I thought I should do something for Lore, though, 'cause he's always been there for me. <3 <3 <3

another one?! [26 Jul 2006|04:58pm]


Not a commission, but it's [info]binsybaby's fault. A Tapir? Something like that. o_o;

finished! [26 Jul 2006|11:51am]


For [info]slinky_dragon- it's her new Bobcat avatar. Yaaay. Photoshop and OpenCanvas, as per usual. Wooh! With this done, I only have, like... 20-something more donation prizes from last year to do. o_o ... yay.

more commission stuff [18 Jul 2006|08:08pm]


Sketch for Slinky's commission. It's changed quite a bit already... I'll post the lineart or final piece upon approval. Also, I think I've drawn some other stuff in the past few months, but I have no idea what. If I find any, I'll post that, too. I'm trying to not give up on art, honest! :(

commission sketches [14 Jun 2006|12:06am]


Yes, I am working on commissions. I know, you might all die from shock. But... .. leave me alone. u_u These are just some practice sketches of one of the donation prize commissions. I've never really drawn a Bobcat before, so I need to learn. I think it's coming along okay, though, and I have some ideas for the final composition. Yay for sketching in pen!

(fyi, my favorite is the sketch in the bottom middle. Love the pose!)
