Hi guys!
To start with, I'd like to let you all know that I'm almost completely tech-illiterate. If I do anything wrong (and I do, often, even with a tutorial!) please correct me!
Right...I'm an artist my trade. I'm a British female tattoo apprentice in her early twenties with a Viking fixation and a passion for what I do! I specialise in beasties of the crazy, messed-up and mythological kind, and only work in traditional media (hence the tech-illiteracy, I don't and never will do any kind digital art at all). I work in graphite, charcoal, pastels (mostly chalk), chinagraph, ink and various paint types. I love a good challenge, and I like giving myself difficult things to do in order to better myself and push my work to higher levels. I take commissions from both people and various shops (at the moment I'm doing custom skateboards for a skate shop).
But why am I here? Because, as guilty a pleasure as it can be, I like to sometimes draw Pokemon in different styles, usually to take a break from whatever I'm doing. I don't draw anything but the monsters from the franchise, though, as I despise anime (these monsters are the one and only exception to the rule!). As my scanner is dead and my camera is questionable, I only have one Pokemon-related image onhand, and it's rather old. Here she be -
I've intergrated my own style into this one, and it's drawn solely with chinagraph marker (if you don't know what one of those is, it's like a cross between a wax crayon and an oil pastel, evil things they are!), just to make life hard for myself, and to see if I could pull it off. As I said before, It's a few years old, and it's not the best display of my skill. Here I have a few more recent creations of mine (the photo quality isn't the best...sorry!) -
This is my own semi-cartoony take on a Chinese Foo Dog. Graphite.
This is my take on a Kistune (demon fox) from Japanese mythology. Ink and coloured pencil.
Here's a cheeky little request piece based on the 'Ghost Saber' from World of Warcraft. Graphite.
A lion with a slightly lopsided face! Chinagraph marker.
I hope that these few images give you a little bit of an idea of what I do. If anyone's interested, I can post a link to my gallery up here so you can see the mess therein! I'm also open for requests and commissions, if any of you lovely chaps would like to give me something to do for fun! If there's any interest expressed, I'll post my rules up here (there aren't many at all, mostly the fact that I can't do anything too elaborate due to lack of time!).
I really hope you enjoy viewing my work! Thank you for taking the time to look, I appreciate it very much!
