    This week has been wild. Anyone who knows me, knows that my life is kind of engulfed by Final Fantasy Trading Cards, as my husband runs Cards of Ivalice and is neck-deep in card brewing, inventory, deck testing, and chit chat. So it would only make sense that I’d take my designs and market close…

    Character Sketches and the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game

    This is probably the busiest time of my entire life. I’m getting married in two weeks,  and my fiance is holding his very first card tournament. Final Fantasy has often been an influence in my artwork, often inspiring me during times I would be otherwise completely uninspired. I think it’s wonderful that my fiance has…

    Jaina Proudmoore- Battle for Azeroth

    My last big art piece for the year! I honestly was not sure if I would complete it in time, but I was blessed with a very focused day today. I started this painting back in early November, soon after Blizzcon. Everyone was so excited about the World of Warcraft expansion, and I was really…

    Hope for Westfall

    It’s time for a new art series! I’m playing my way through the game, and will pick up inspiration to paint along the way. I intend to do a full play-through, picking up all of the quests that I’d usually ignore along the way. My first piece was at level 15, making my way through…

    Inktober Days 1-3

    It’s been a great week so far! I, along with some great friends, have been taking part in Inktober. If you haven’t heard of Inktober, it is a yearly event for the entire duration in October, when artists of all skill levels get together and attempt to draw every day of the month. There is…

  • Light Against Legion

    Light Against Legion

    Blizzard Entertainment is running an official art contest through the 30th- Shadows of Argus. The goal for my work going forward is to keep heavy focus on detailed line work while learning to create strong color palettes that work together without getting dull or muddy. Here is the completed piece: Light Against Legion  Turalyon and…

    OrlandoiX17

    Wow! I had an incredible time with the CrayonPonyfish team at OrlandoiX17! There was SO much indie talent in that one room, and it was great seeing such a variety. I felt like there was an opportunity to network but I KNOW there were people missed, so if you were there and want to swap…

Got any book recommendations?
