Hi everyone!

It has been a long time since I looked at my Notes folder and it was kind of shocking to see about a hundred unanswered notes.... I don't think I can handle answering them right now, so I will just put up answers to some common questions I get. If you have written me a note, I am so sorry about this. I hope you can find an answer to your question below.

1) Can I use your art for ....?
Ans : If it's for personal stuff like your wallpaper, blog or your forum avatar, yes! As long as you are not making money from it (and you credit me somewhere), you can use my artwork. And no, you cannot use my art to enter contests.

2) Can I trace/copy your artwork for school/fun/personal ... ?
Ans : Yes, I don't mind, as long as you credit me and you are not making money off from it.

3) Are you available for commissions/requests?
Ans : I am sorry, but between my school teaching, existing freelance and kid, I simply don't have any time left for commissions or requests.

4) Can you vote for me on a contest/advertise stuff on your journal?
Ans : Sorry, no. I don't do that. (I do this only for people I know in real life)

5) I love your work!
Ans : Thank you so much for telling me you like my art.

Hi!
My friend is holding a contest of sorts over at her journal. You can read about it here :
[link]

Basically submit a concept/idea (just write it up in the comments!) for a piece of jewellery and the top 3 winners will get a piece of jewellery that was inspired by their ideas.

BlockFortress has used my Temeraire fanart and re-created it in Minecraft and it looks awesome!
Check it out!

I am so so so behind on my notes. Apologies to everyone I have not replied to! >_<;;

last week i had the pleasure of attending a design masterclass where Kekai kotaki, Daniel Dociu, SangJun Lee and Feng Zhu talked about their processes, experiences and gave demos. it was very inspiring and makes me hope to do better in my art.

Recently my friend and I decided to do a collab of sorts. We gave each other a sketch and we then colored them up.
Here's his take on my sketch :



and here's my take on his sketch :



It was pretty fun and I think he colored my sketch wonderfully!

just wondering... has anyone watched this? i'm thinking of buying the dvd and i don't know if i'll like it.
i know it is horribly dated in terms of the set and costumes and fx, but does the dialogue and story hold up?
assuming i loved Firefly, would i enjoy this? XD

i would like to hear your opinions!
