Anyways! Art!

This Phantom masterpiece by Dreaminglovely is super cool! All the purples and the blue really go well together! 

This super super cool dragon by Tempurralkitty, Its how I really imagine dragons to look like, the colors are really cool, and its overall really pretty, and cute ^.^ 

A really cute picture of three horses, by Raiders09! 
I can never understand how people get the right shape for horses. It takes me forever, even with a good reference :P 
When you really take a good look at this beautiful masterpiece by Sarahg7777 it makes you stare. I love how she used the paint brush in all of it, to make a completely breathtaking sunset! This has to be one of my favorite masterpieces! 

A super beautiful horse by Emofriend02! Again, how do people get these horse shapes...

Hello jammers! 
How are you all today? Unfortunately I don't actually have any new art. But I do have a few art ideas that are chicken smoothie related. I hope I will remember to do those sometime soon! 
If you would like to request me to draw some chicken smoothie animals as chibi's please let me know in the comments. I am not allowed to sell the art for items or stuff since it is not allowed and against the rules. But I think I am able to post them:)  
So hopefully I can do that next time and post some actual art! I also am not sure if I am going to continue the digital art of the plushies, I might end up hand drawing it instead, cause I don't really have the patience but we will see...


Anyways! To get onto the actual post...

So I hope this is alright with Sarah, but I decided to make buttons/banners related to this blog. 
(I apologize if I was not  allowed to do this Sarah...)

OFFICIAL AUTHOR BANNER:
This banner is for the official authors of this blog, whether you are a back up or full time.
You can put this on your blog if you have one or anywhere else you'd like. Maybe as a profile picture as well! 

OFFICIAL READER BUTTON:
I also decided to make one for the readers of the blog as well. So if you are a reader of this blog you can put this button on your blog, or wherever you'd like! 

Also if you are both a reader and author, you can use both buttons!! 

Also, to make these buttons I used pic monkey and chose the text which I added special effects to and put to pictures from the art studio as the background! 

I hope you guys enjoy these buttons! I hope to see you guys using these on your blogs:) Let me know in the comments if you do!


To finish off the post, we cannot forget about our lovely... Artist Spotlight!!

Artist Spotlight #4
This weeks artist spotlight will be featuring...
SNOWYCAT247



Oh my goodness. The backgrounds and effects used in this jammer's artwork is amazing!
Keep up the great work!!

Thats all I have for today!
See you soon!

Cozy Autumn Morn (a den map!)

Hey Jammers, Arctic here!

With the new Autumn season upon us, AJHQ has been releasing a multitude of wonderful seasonal items. Greatest of them all, however, is the addition of the new Autumn Small house!

And lemme tell you.


I.

LOVE.

THIS.

DEN.

I love the leaves, the colours, the roof! It's wonderful and a pleasant surprise! Naturally, I bought one immediately and began decorating it in a lovely fall theme. And then I made a den map, which I thought would be cool to post here!


The inspiration for this den is the feeling of the quintessential "Grandparents Cottage". Full of wood and earthy colours, I really wanted to make the den feel like "home". I know for me, houses like these remind me of good food, laughter, crackling log fires, and mysterious attics filled with relics from the ages!

Speaking of attic, that's exactly what I did! It was difficult for me to build an attic over the kitchen (which I had already made). I settled upon using Ship Benches to make a partial loft style attic over the main section of the house! I also used stone carved chairs to make steps leading up to it (I didn't have nearly enough stepladders!)



Overall, I'm very happy with how this turned out!

Well! That's all for now folks, see you soon!

Dash Tag Challenge - Day 9 (plus a colored Oscar, XD)!

OH.
OH... OH BOY.
*Facepalms and laughs*
Guess what happened?

I HAD EVERYTHING READY FOR A POST.
THEN FORGOT. TO. POST.
AND HERE WE ARE LIKE 3 HOURS LATER.

Oh man, that's my bad you guys - yeesh, just when I thought I had it all done today! DON'T KILL ME! XD
But hey, I doubt anyone really cares when this is posted, so let's just go ahead and do this, XD!



Alright, so today, I went with a pretty simple pet, which would be Buster the bunny!

He's absolutely ADORABLE, but WOAH, looks like that's just a cover, huh? Because apparently he's a pretty shady guy. XDD
Actually, I like that idea - a cute, innocent-looking bunny actually being deceitful and sneaky. XDD

Since he seems to love gossip and rumors, I drew the sneaky guy with a very evil grin, XD!

Eek, better keep your mouth shut around him! Don't mess with Buster, guys. EVER. XDD
Anywho, this guy was pretty easy to draw, and I like how he turned out! I'm glad his smirk worked out as well, XD.
And his eyes - now those are something I'm QUITE proud of, XD. I was worried the color wouldn't work out at all, but it seems a bit of purple mixed with pink did nicely, hehe!
I added the speech bubble because, well, all the other pets have some kind of prop or addition to them, and I couldn't really come up with anything for this guy! So instead, he's being threatening. XDD


Alsooooo! Since I was able to complete Buster rather quickly, I ended up going ahead and coloring Oscar, the pet I showed the uncolored drawing of last week! And let me tell you, the only colors on him (not including the gem bag) that didn't have to be blended was his yellow eyes. XD
Anywho, here he his, in all his colored glory! XD

Huh... I just realized my last 3 pets I've drawn seem to have a more... negative theme, huh? Beo the goth, Oscar the thief, and now Buster the sneak! Huh. XDD

But that aside, OH MAN. I'M SO PROUD OF THIS GUY'S COLORS. I was worried they wouldn't look right at ALL, but I think it all worked out pretty well! Eeee, I love this guy a lot more now that he's colored! XD



Alright, well, let's see... I think that's it! I hope, anyway. XD
I better be off! I'll see you all next week, and hopefully I'll remember, XD! But, for the rest of this week, remember to stay happy, be creative, and keep drawiiiing! BYEEEEEEEEEEE!!

A Bit of Rambling + Small Animation!


Hi Jammers!


I'm currently wondering if I should take a hiatus so I have more time to work on an AMV that I want to do,  but idk. Maybe when I start to work on the actual thing, right now I'm working on poses for certain animals, time will tell I guess.
It's almost Autumn/fall! Already o.o This year has been going by fast-
I have said that alot..
EH!
I've actually had a pretty cool summer this year, there have only been a handful of super hot days (like yesterday) but we were able to go swimming (for most) of those days, so its all good!

 I'm kind of excited for Winter, as I'm excited to see how Trump will react to the snow (he won't be able to pull a sled for another year tho, *sniff sniff*)
Last winter wasn't very good, weren't very many days for sledding, the river was of course frozen but there was snow on top of it so we couldn't slide nearly as well,
 THERE WAS SNOW IN APRIL
THERE WAS MORE SNOW IN APRIL THEN WE HAD IN THE ACTUAL WINTER
THERE WAS SO MUCH SNOW, ALSO MY OLDER BROTHERS WERE OUT OF STATE-
so that was fun... I like at the end of winter/early early spring, when there isn't much snow left, I go out without a coat/sweatshirt and my mom tells me to get a coat on because 'its so cold' and I'm like nooooo it isn'ttttt..
Woah
that was alot of rambling. *adds it to title*  But guess who actually has some art to show?
Me.
I've been lazy,
but now I've been back into the 'artist spirit' which has included dozens of terrible sketches of cats until I can get the pose somewhat right.
I'm trying to draw wolves/dogs.
Its uh
not turning out pretty I can tell you that.
ANYWAYS! I worked on a small animation as I want to get into animating a little bit, and here it is of a cat curling its tail.


Yes, its simple, but this actually took like.. 2 hours? (possibly more, possibly less?)
Animating ish hard. (also I used Firealpaca)
I really really really REALLY want to get the Animator's Survival Kit as I've heard many many many good things about it!
BYE!

Dash Tag Challenge - Day 8 (Uncolored Version)!

Alright, alright. Let's just accept that I'll be missing posts sometimes and skip past all this boring apology-stuff! School's started up for me again, so that leaves me pretty busy and tired, and lazy on the weekend, XD! So that may mean some late or, uh... non-existent posts (sorry about last week, I believe I forgot!). My apologies in advance!

But let's just get on with this post!
Now, I WILL say, this art hasn't been colored yet. Why? Well, yes, I have time, but I personally wanted to work on some digital art tonight, as well as rewatch the first Hunger Games first, since I just finished the book! So since I didn't want to spend a bunch of time coloring tonight, I hope it's alright that I give you all the uncolored version! Maybe next week I'll try to add the colored version in as a little bonus, if I get around to finishing it!

Anywho, today, I decided to chose Bandit the raccoon! He wasn't on my original list, but I thought it'd be fun to draw the sneaky little guy, so uh... yeah! XD
Here's his description!

 So, since it seems the little dude's name is fitting, and he likes to sneak away with shiny objects, I figured I'd draw him first grabbing the bag of gems he has on his head in the game! Aaaand it ended up looking like this!

I wouldn't say this is one of my best, tbh - but maybe that's because it's not colored, XD! I do like how his face markings and wings look, though (I didn't know he had wings till I looked today! XD)! I may go back in and fix up his eyes and paw and such, but I don't think it all looks too bad, XD! And that bag was surprisingly much easier to draw than I thought, haha!


Anywho, uh... sorry that this was so short, guys! I really gotta get work on that art, so that I can watch Hunger Games in just a bit! I'll be back with another (hopefully longer and better) post next Saturday, or if not, the Saturday after!
Until then, remember to stay happy, be creative, and keep drawing! ;D

It is me again, back with another post for you guys!

I am happy to say that one of the art pieces I was working on in last post is indeed COMPLETE!

Now I guess you will find out which one it is shortly...

Do you think it is either... a) The lip picture or b) The plushie picture


The correct answer is...


















THE LIP PICTURE!

Here you have it, the final product:)


I guess that means now, to see how I am progressing with the plushie picture..
*quickly opens AJ in another tab and goes to the art studio. Grabs wacom tablet and plugs into laptop. Starts to draw*

Okay so I drew it for like 5 minutes, and now I don't have the patience so yeah. *sarcastically smiles*




A few days later...

Okay so I actually completely forgot to work on the post today, and I have limited time on the computer so... and I kinda gave up on the plushie drawing for now. *hopes to have it done by October 31?*  So I guess you only have the lip drawing today *grins*

The other day I actually had an idea about posting art fun facts so I guess I will do that today:)


Art Fun facts
1. Everyone is creative

2. Picasso who is a famous artist could draw before he could walk or talk

3. The first pencil was invented in England during the year of 1565

4. Drawing helps develop hand eye cordination and spatial awareness abilities
