Holiday card progress

Every year around this time I am in process of making the holiday card.  It's always so difficult to pick a theme, sometimes I wish I can just reuse the design I had in the previous years :P

But then I always want to try out something new, like using a different paper stock, coating or whatnot.

Time to color! 

Let's go scan

Almost done with the art and off to the scanner!

 

This year's card work in progress

 

Yep! I'm doing the card project again this year.

 

Last year I told myself I would start doing this after September, because I hate making things last minute, ughh! Especially after couting the days that needed for printing and sending out, holiday season always comes way too fast  >_<;;

 

Well, anyway!

This time I'm not doing it digitally (well not for the most part), the art will be done with watercolor/color pencils, because I want to go for a hand drawn/traditional look.  

Also the paper will be a little different, so I'm excited how this will turn out, as long as the printer do not fail me....

 

 

 

New Piece

I should be getting ready for SacAnime, I know it's still 2 weeks away but since I can't really do much prepping during the weekdays, I gotta start writing things down so I know what I need to pack for the con.

Last week the new evolution form for Pokemon was announced, it sure looks exciting and unexpected.  I started doing some sketches and decided to make a print, just because :P

I'll start making prints and bring them with me to Sac end of this month~

 

Thank you!

AX2013 was a success, thank you everyone for stopping by! it was so great to meet tons of online members in person :D  I hope you all had a wonderful time at the con! :)

Just in case you were wondering, this is a picture of the south hall (exhibit hall / artist alley).  We were close to the back...

 Oh! The gachapon machine was a huge hit, we actually ran out of buttons! 

If you've played it, THANK YOU!!

It's definitely my goal to make all the pokemon into buttons, so perhaps few months later I'll have a bunch Gen 5 and 6 pins available, gotta start drawing!

UPDATE:

The new notecards are up in the online shop now, go grab them while it's hot :D    

 

XY cards

I think I'm having too much fun designing the new cards!

I'll have these at Anime Expo next month, right now Pancham and Helioptile are available in my shop, and the rest will be ready as soon as possible :)

 

Here is me at the con last weekend, drawing and making faces :P 

Animega turned out fairly small, weekends were surprising slow but I still enjoyed Vegas.  We do hope to do it again next year, as long as we have the time.

 

Thanks for the photo Vy!
