For a long time I been wanted to change, a bit, the design of Amaranth, as well are-design his reference sheet. His original sheet was very dark, and I really don't like how I arranged the information, not to mention that design was a mess and his mane was so dark that you couldn't see any detail. I didn't change his original design much, because in the end it's a design I am very fond of, but if I simplified it a bit and changed the green tones for more orange tones, seens it was the least I liked about his original design.

Hey, I was at my aunt's house, and I was very bored, I wasn't quite sure what to do, so I decided to do a quick painting study. I was trying something different, and it was not paying so much attention to the texture of the fur, so I forced myself to use a single brush to paint everything, like trying to add small accents with other colors. My second rule was to keep it simple, and not add too much detail, but I guess I didn't quite make it ^^" well, it's less detail than I usually do. What do you think?

Wow another cat, who would have thought that? A small reference sheet for a story I've been wanting to write for a long time, but every so often I change details :b and then I don't even know what to write. The story is about witches, or wicca, and this is the protagonist's cat, Candle. And Candle is a mix of bengal because I like them too much XD The story is based on a dream I had :b and in the dream the cat was completely black, but there are already many characters like that, so I wanted to make his design a little more interesting. I also want to make a mini reference sheet for the rest of the characters, but first I want to improve my human drawings ;-;  

A quick cat profiling practice I did, I used the same method of splitting my reference into straight lines, it makes understanding proportions much easier .3. except for the first cat, I used a vanishing point since it's in perspective.

Appropriate Appropriation

For class this quarter, my teacher wanted me to do “Appropriation Self-Portrait.” That is where I take a famous painting and put myself in there as the subject matter. It draws on the reaction you have of the original art, but changing it adds a new layer. I took "The Happy Lovers" by Jean-Honoré Fragonard and changed it to "The Happy Lovers of 2016". ;) To be fair, this has been a few date nights of late. :P

“The Happy Lovers” by Jean-Honoré Fragonard

“The Happy Lovers of 2016″ pencil by E.E.Nix ;) I darkened it a bit digitally to show the comparison better.

Here it is as the original

And 3 pictures of close up detail

Go Fish

Another boyfriend requested sea slug. He is shaped like a friend. 

Image Id: A side view of a cream sea slug with orange antennae and spots. It has three round feet and several wavy thick tendrils on its butt. The background is a desaturated mint green. 

Say hello to Jaz 🦊✨

This is Jaz 🦊 he is a fox that has been visiting my backyard for the last few months. At first he would just walk through and sometimes eat the peanuts I throw out for the squirrels on the morning (don't worry the squirrels are never around when Jaz is here). Lately he's just been hanging out even when all the peanuts are gone and he spends his time bathing or sleeping in the sun 🦊☀️

Walk in the woods, you might find a friend✨🦊🍄✨ . Made with watercolor, blueberry juice, black berry juice, tea, gouache .

Here he is again! But this time running through the meadow grasses ✨ .

🍪Snacks in the grass🍪 . “what a delightful day!” Exclaimed Hoppington frog. He sat with the Earl- a dear friend of his for many years. “Indeed” agreed the Earl “and such a delightful day calls for a most delightful treat!”. The Earl sat down and placed a chunk of cookie on a nearby mushroom. “I found this by the picnic table next to the pond” he said and he broke off a piece with a large chocolate chip. “Goodness, that is a very big sweet!” Hoppington said with excitement. The Earl croaked in agreement “yes, but it is much to large for one frog alone, which is why I brought it to share with you!”

Some snack time friends! Been very inspired lately by the illustrations in Beatrix Potter’s treasury of stories so for one of my school projects I’m making a little page with hopefully the same feeling ☺️ the critters and scenery reference stuff from the gratitude journal I’ve had to keep for the past week for the assignment ✨

Fun in the flowers 😊🌼
