Hello!
I was just wondering if there are any charity artbooks open for submission.

I haven't been drawing a lot, but I would still like to participate in charity artbooks, I have a soft spot for them.

so recently I started recording ukulele covers and uploading them on soundcloud

I kind of want to try covering vocaloid songs. x_x But yeah feel free to subscribe and request songs and all that jazz!!! and feel free to share your yt if you do covers too and stuff, I've always wanted to collab with someone hehe.

Hello!

My table mate and I made resin filled keychain straps : [link]

I will be selling prints of
Bubbling Transcience
Like a Virgin
Grow
Self Schema
Totoro
Adventure Time is Disco Time
Shaymin
Darumaka
Princess Bubblegum

Buttons will also be sold [I never posted any of the designs here so it will be a surprise :`D]
Avengers
Pokemon
Korra
Young Justice
Vocaloids
Totoro/spirited away

And more but I'm still working on them. T-T

See you all there :]

Okay that sounds creepy...

Alongside my mandarin blog I decided to make a Spanish blog to practice..Spanish..yeah.

www.latinabanana.tumblr.com

I'm basically using spanishdict! translator to create spanish sentences and I learn the grammar patterns that way. It's kind of ..not a conventional method but I'm giving it a go LOLL.  I learned basic spanish in high school but forgot it all. >_>

POR FAVOR CONMIGO HABLA EN ESPANOL???
I'd really like it if I could exchange messages/talk to anyone that is fluent in Spanish b/c I learn best through conversation! And seriously feel free to correct my grammar, or I'll keep on using the wrong things. ;_; Especially since I'm relying heavily on a translator hahaha

muchas gracias a todos! Me gusto escribir en espanol. Es muy divertido hehehehe.

Oh..my motive is ..in socal hospitals everyone and their mom knows Spanish. I feel out of the loop not knowing the language.

So if you're fluent in Chinese or just want to practice feel free to follow my Chinese blog
www.chinesebananas.tumblr.com

feel free to message me and stuff in Chinese and stuff!!

I try to keep the posts less boring looking by adding drawings. OTL

I also added english translations on the bottom.

我最近創作新的日誌! 每天我想要寫一點點中文在我tumblr日誌。
如果你的中文很好或是你要跟我一起練習，請follow我的tumblr幫我改錯字跟錯文
法!
要不然你也可以送中文的訊息吧﹖哈哈。

這只是如果你有時間。

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well? I caught a cold so I feel gross right now haha.

If you have time could you please vote for my tshirt design for the cute monster contest?

[link]

just click on the 'I'd wear that' button' and tell a friend to vote too!



I also really need to sit down and get some AX print/keychain stuff churned  out. I think I might print some original stuff just b/c I don't have time to create a lot of large-scale fanart pieces. Plus I've always been more comfortable drawing original work haha.

I also have a twitter now! www.pochipie.twitter.com It's not really used for art updates, I like facilitating conversations on there haha.

So..I'm sure all of you already know I'm going to be selling at the AX/anime expo artist alley this summer in LA! Admittedly I have bothered a gajillion people about this because it's my first time and I am effing noob. Shout out to and especially x__x

I'm starting to prep some art just because it's never too early, yeah? I want to break even!!!

Sooo as far as fandoms I'm definitely going for:

Madoka~  keychain design ex) [link]
Pokemon
Adventure Time
Vocaloids [?]

Some fairly established anime series as of 2011 I've been considering drawing keychains for:

mawaru penguin drum
tiger and bunny [?]

Non anime:
young justice
Mario[?]
Zelda


Other suggestions, would be nice. gave me a lovely fandom list I've been working off of haha.


I might sell some original prints but I'm a bit wary about that, since the target audience is ..well at the convention because of anime, it's not an art show. T_T


Out of curiosity what do you guys usually buy at AA, if you do buy anything? Prints? Keychains? Buttons? Do you guys like large or small prints?...etc. What usually catches your attention? Word vomit at me! I will love every bit of it! [aww yeeee]

OTL I'M SO NOOBBB

Wooott...so for me I'm SUPER ECSTATIC BECAUSE ANATOMY LAB IS OVER.

No more weekly trips to the cadaver room and probing around dissected human bodies.  I will never adjust to the stench of formaldehyde, just saying.

Sorry for inactivity, I haven't touched my tablet in ages. The only artwork I ever get done is class doodles on my notecards. :[


So how are you all doing? Stressed? Hang in there..think about winter break [if you are a student LOL]

[link]
Tada!! You know you want to press that 'like' button..HEHEHEHE

I needed a place where I could compile all the sites I post my art on.
If you have a fb art page, feel free to link me to it, ya?

Also, I bet my friends were  getting tired of me spamming their news feed with my drawings LOLL

This is a day late but

THIS WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED. Seriously thank you

Also, this daily deviation feature is particularly special to me because it was an entry for a charity artbook.
brb going to go cry a fountain of tears.

On another note, school has started for most of you right? Tell me how you're faring! I know a good deal of you are college freshman now, how are you all transitioning? I know it can be tough...scratch that, it IS tough. >_>

As for me I'm starting upper division nursing classes this quarter. We actually worked in the cadaver [dead human bodies] room this week! We're also practicing vitals, and I've been pulse-finding while eating and doing homework. -freak-


Oh yeah, my tumblr is www.twinklefish.tumblr.com. Sorry, I know you all have gotten sick of seeing me spam this link ;__;
I update more stuff on that blog though, because I try to keep my DA doodle/sketch free.

I'm also trying to consistently update my current webcomic project: Lotus Lullaby.
It can be read here: www.lotuslullaby.smackjeeves.com
Badly written summary: Unable to swim or sing the legendary "lotus lullaby," Semper, The Narwhal prince of the underworld is an utter failure to the royal family. After stumbling upon an odd human girl who has the odd ability of singing a particularly powerful "lotus lullaby," he forces her to aid him in his duty calls as a messenger and therapist to dying souls

I completely removed the first 5 pages, so re-vamping/drawing the intro is a pain in the butt right now. I really want critique so PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TELL ME WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE ABOUT THE PAGES, YEAH? Paneling is so hard for me, and I've gotten really good feedback [I'm actually redrawing the most recent page b/c it was unclear to a lot of people ;_;]

Lastly, drink a lot of water, get sleep, and eat healthy. Everyone around me is getting sick. T_T

Uh..yeah title is self explanatory. ;_; I don't like having to ask my parents to help pay for hotel/table/printing costs for AX con next year. >_<

Examples:

[link]

[link]

I actually put a lotttt of effort into these [I ACTUALLY TRY TO MAKE THEM NEAT AND STUFF, THAT'S HARD FOR ME, OKAY?? DX]

$15 per full body coloured single chibi. I take paypal

If you want a background it will cost a little more [most of the time people don't request them with backgrounds x_x]


On a random note, ohohoho drawing pokemon is fun, what is your favorite type? I think I like water and grass type the most from an aesthetic point of view [okay clearly I have a thing for gardens..]

Yeah another convention question ;____;

I'm definitely going to be tabling at AX next year! So exciteeddd. My friend just brought up comic com tabling and gosh one table costs so much [even taking into account the fact that we are splitting]

I was wondering do any of you have experience tabling at comic con? I figure comic con is a lot more ...hm..intense than AX, with a lot more professional art figures attending and a different audience to appeal to.

I think if I go I'm going to draw mainly DC fanart and possibly Legend of Korra.
[god I love dick grayson..]

in general do you guys have any idea what tends to sell well at comic con?

Is it harder to make a profit at comic con? D;

er..yeah LOL IDK ANY INPUT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

I'M SO SORRY YOU GUYS KEEP ON GETTING SPAMMED WITH MY QUESTIONS.
EXPECT MORE IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE I AM DEAD SET ON TRYING OUT CONVENTIONS THIS COMING YEAR. >OO

Just wondering because every time I return from hiatus the threads I used to frequent are closed or temp closed lol. :[ Haha I know some of you I met through old gaia days ;D

So yeah if you own an art shop or just like to chat in a certain thread, feel free to drop a link if you're okay with me meandering around in there LOL

My username is p o c h i

and I must say, they have been releasing new items like CRAZY I don't even spend my gold anymore because I have no idea what items I want to buy I want in the first place. >_>

SO YEAHHH is anyone up for sharing a table with me at AX 2012? I want to share a table to minimize costs, and also because it will be my first time selling so I'd rather not man a booth on my own. Feel free to post/message me and stuff to discuss, yeah? :`D

I'd also like to IDK share a hotel since it's more convenient...LOL THIS CON STUFF IS HARD :[

Alsooo do any of my lovely watchers want to tell me what pieces in my gallery they think would sell well as a print?
And tell me what fandom you're currently into and what fandom you reckon will be popular?

I'm hoping pokemon will stay popular >__>
I didn't see much harry potter stuff
I also started watching that mawaru penguin anime haha, I'm hoping it will rise in popularity because..well..I just want excuse to draw the penguins GDI

BTW I WISH I WERE AT COMIC CON RIGHT NOW :[
