I'm just wondering...
(...If anyone actually reads this blog. I do know I get hits, thanks to Statcounter, but no one comments or anything so I'm wondering if it's just a click and leave sort of deal. I do have a
Livejournal that I previously posted art in, so if no one comes here then I may as well move over there where I know people read, yeah?)
(So if anyone has an opinion one way or the other, or just reads this, a comment would be appreciated. ~)
A glimpse of color...

(Update at last! I've been experimenting with different ways to ink Drow, this is one of them.)
Shio Kasai - Knife

(I quite like this - Kasai wrapping some flame around her finger to form into a knife has been in my head for quite some time now, though in a slightly different form. I think I'll still end up drawing that picture too, but for now, have this!)
(I dunno if anyone actually reads this, but you can blame my absence due my moving halfway across the world. However, you can start to expect more pictures, possibly some Akatsuki Rock Opera.)
(Also, my webcomic,
Perceptions, is up and running again, with a revised version!)
Dramaj Estoren - 1k hits on deviantART

(Sorry about the long delay! I'm moving next week, so we've been super busy. Here's a picture of Dramaj I drew to celebrate one thousand hits on
my deviantART!.)
(I'll finish the Akatsuki Pants Opera next month, after the move is done.)
Forest Guardian

(Sorry for the short absence! Here's the picture I've been working on. I've actually finished it about a week ago, but only just scanned it in. This is a collaboration between myself and my partner, Mollie Cline. She did the composition (slightly modified due to my different way of drawing dragons), and I drew it. Let me tell you, it was a pain.)
(I did the first layer of the black (yes, there are two layers), with a fine point sharpie. Oh yes. I did it because I didn't have any regular sharpies, so of course, I had to choose the more painful way to do it, instead of just buying some new sharpies. So I did the entire first layer, and then most of the second, until I got to the wings, and then I just said, "This is a pain. I'm going to look for some real sharpies." And lo and behold, I found three fat industrial strength sharpies. And when I put pen to paper... Oh me oh my, it was so much easier. Second layer of the wings went like THAT.)
The Akatsuki Pants Opera: Country Pants
These are not my pants
I don know whose they are
They smell a lot like Bobby
Cause he likes to fart
These are not my pants
How did they get here?
And I'm fillin' up with fear
Cause these are not my pants
Thank you, I'll be at the grand ol' opry tonight.(I THINK ITACHI IS IMPRESSED WITH HIS SINGING ABILITY, DON'T YOU?)
(Itachi chosen for country for obvious reasons. Sasori gets a cameo because I realized I had planned this for the nine Akatsuki most recent in my brain, and poor Sasori and Oro-chan were forgotten. So they're both getting cameos, Sasori as "Bobby" and Oro-chan as "Billy".)

I'll never forget when I saw you standin' there wearin' pants
You were all alone
And I thought to myself
"MAN I WISH I HAD THOSE PANTS"
But the problem was
THOSE WEREN'T MY PANTS
I dunno whose pants they are
But I want them
I only know that I want them
So why don't you come over here and
ROCK BABY
Oh hold on to me tight
And keep wearin' them pants
Cause I LOVE YOUUU.(Kisame gets piano pants because he doesn't get much love. And I thought it would be funny because it's kinda blues-y music. Yeah.)
