poster to promote Transit City
(bad quality scan :c a lot of the colour, especially from the bottom half of the image, has been completely loooooost. there were a lot more blues and purples in the face/helmet/background/spacesuit)
combatting the controversy that arose against Amy Chua's book (and methods of parenting in) Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and the portrayal of Asian students in Western media.
TIGER KIDS HAVE FUN TOO.
haha i'm particularly pleased with how the STUDY HARD! book turned out and the purple of that keyboard (is that what you'd call a yummy purple?).
second version with (really terribly rendered) text.
really glad my watercolours are improving a bit! the past three years i've been so used to upping the colours of a painting in photoshop and then getting it printed since the colours in the original always look a bit dull and muddy. with my last two pieces i'm actually more pleased with the originals than the printed/photoshopped version! i've somehow managed to make the colours in my paintings more vibrant than before?
BUT i also realized that i reallyreallyREALLY need to work on backgrounds and type. both are terrible since i rarely do either. :I
also been drawing a lot of myself as a pkmn trainer. i'm actually reallyreally surprised with how much i love the new Gen (both the game and most of the new pkmn). i drew this right after i caught four solosis. my favourite solosis is TANK, but he's since evolved into reuniclus!!! so happy.
my team right now is made up of:
THEODORE ( oshawott who will NEVER BE ALLOWED TO EVOLVE. buddy, you're just too cute to evolve. )
ZIGGY (zebstrika)
CHARLIETWO (pansear)
mushi (munna)
GU WAK JAI (scrafty!! he evolved yesterday)
TANK (solosis)
currently have 7/8 badges. this is also the first time i've leveled up my team equally. they're all in the lvl 38-42 range, whereas previously i'd only have my starter and second pkmn (usually electric?) lvl'd up super high, and the rest of my team is in the 20s.
if you're playing the new Gen, let's swap friendcodes!! :D
website coming sooooooon~ keep them eyes peeled, comrades.
jeeze i love all of your art so much! it's so awesome, and that transit city dude is super cute ; o;
ReplyDeletealso i totally want to get the new pokemon game! i know i'd never finish it but it seems really fun
awman thank you so much, mirry!!! ; w ;)/
ReplyDeletehaha i was going for a boyscout/baby Tintin look with that character~ i'm superglad he turned out to be a qt. :'>
ahhh you should definitely get it!! when i first saw the preview videos for it, i wasn't too sure about the graphics? (especially with the battles) but hnnnnnng i reallyreally love it. it totally adds a whole new atmosphere to a lot of the towns~ the NPCs are so great (Biancaaaa~) and i feel like you get a lot more items from them in this game? there are a lot more tips and help that's provided throughout too. i never finish my pkmn games either, but i'm determined to do so with this one!! >:I haha idk, it's like playing pokemon the first time again in a way.
Nice Stough, Kelly. You're making your art more delicious.
ReplyDeletepokemon trainer ! yeah, so am i! :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteI've borrowed ('stolen') my brothers DS and have been playing it obsessively for a week. I've got a Sawk called Lucy on level 50!
i'm hopeless with the wirelesss/online connectivity stuff.... but we should trade friendcodes!

@Gabe hey thanks!! hopefully it'll reach maximum deliciousnesssssszzzs with a little more practice.
ReplyDelete@Caitlin pkmn trainers unite!! i would really love to see how you'd draw pokemon in your own style! they'd be very fashionable and handsome no doubt!! awww i haven't seen a Sawk yet! i only have a Throh. :(
hopefully you'll still see this reply, but my friendcode is
4212-3441-4265
haha this is actually the first time i've tried to make use of their wirelesswifithing features. :I

ReplyDeleteHi! I found out that the DS i use is too old and isn't the internet connecting type. boo. :( so, no super fun pokemon battles between you and i.
(hopefully my brothers buy a 3d DS so one day it'll be possible.)
