More Animal Art From Across Jamaa!

Heyo guys! Hey, for once, I didn't almost forget to post! Yay, XD! 

Anyways, today, I'm gonna be showing some more animal Masterpieces others have made, since I don't really have any art I'm working on that's worth a full post! The only other piece I'm working on at the moment is a surprise!

So let's get on with the post!

 Awww, this Australian Shepherd is so cute!! I love how xXhomestuckXx kept the background simple- it makes the happy lil' dog stand out! If I could get this Masterpiece from this artist, I would!

 Ah, Ocean8froggy's art is ALWAYS amazing! This dragon was made entirely with the airbrush tool, and it looks so cool! Man, I can't even draw dragons traditionally, much less make them in an art program with a very limited selection of tools! XD!

 I believe this is a black-and-white picture of a fox! Varmint is an awesome artist- I love the fur detail! Dunno if the words are from a book or song, or if the fox is some sort of character, but it's amazing all the same!

 I loved this picture as soon as I saw it! This cat looks so peaceful, and the detail on the tree bark is amazing! Nymphaeaalba normally does a lot of fairytale/magical art pieces, so I'm glad to see her trying something a little different with this almost photo-looking art!

 I don't know why this Masterpiece has 63 likes (although I forgot when this was taken, so it might've changed by now), but it DEFINITELY deserves more than that! Just... HOW!? I can only imagine how long this must've taken! EPIC job, Thegoldstar!

Here's another fox, but a orange-furred one, made by Electricflame01 (am I the only one who LOVES their signature?)! The value, the background- everything about this picture is amazing! I love the fox's wide eyes, and its expression, XD!

And finally, one of my personal favorites! I'm sure a lot of you have seen it- it's by Retroactive, and it's gotten a LOT more likes than just 164 by now! I love peacocks, so if I could get my hands on a copy of this Masterpiece, I would be SO HAPPY! I love how Retro kept the bold, painted lines to outline the feathers, but then added those fuzzy, colorful tips!

Well, that's all I have for now, guys! I better get going! Until my next post, remember to PARTY HARD, BE CREATIVE, and JAM ON, and I'll see you next week, or maybe even sooner, if you catch me online! XD!

Blogger Signature-- Sarahkey8!

Hellooooooooo, Jamaasians of all ages!

Karalee here!



Tonight (yes, it's not past midnight yet) we've got a signature for the ever-wonderful Sarahkey8, requested in this comment here...

...and completed here!

Ta-daaaaaaaaa! *jazz hands* XD I hope you loaf it, Sarah!

I've got lots to say about this piece!

There are eight clovers each on the S and the 8, in reference to Sarahkey8, and the letters were drawn with semi-solid brushes like Acrylic! The colors of the letters was taken from Sarah's Clover Blanket -- seen here. 😉

And the background was taken from the color of her Rare Old Hood! The white "stitches" in the painting join the green corners to the pink-and-blue background, just like the hood.

Personally, I like the letters a lot, but feel like the background could use a bit more definition. The original idea was to have a smooth transition from blue to pink to green, but upon reflection it all seems rather flat.

I'm not too sure how to fix or improve upon it. Any ideas, guys? 😀 Please tell me in the comments!



If you'd like a Blogger Signature, please tell me in the comments as well!

(And don't be shy, please! If I can't find any find any participants, who knows what you'll end up reading next week! O.o)



That's all I got for now! Seeya 'round, guys! *waves*



PEACE!
LOVE!
NINJAAAAAAAS!

Art From The Depths of Arctic's Computer!

Greetings Jammers, Arctic here!

Ah, the joy! My computer has been fixed - and I didn't lose any files at all! I'm so grateful for this, and I'm absolutely ecstatic that the issues were resolved so quickly!

As I haven't had a chance to make any new art lately, I thought I'd dig through my computer for old, and possibly unfinished, art files. This is also a celebration that my files weren't lost, haha!

First, I have a file titled "Elm". I'm assuming I had planned to draw my main animal (Elm Rainyraccoon)

Not bad! Though it looks like I hadn't started any of the main drawing yet, I like the interesting clover background thing that's going on!

Next, a file called "Earth Day".  I'm pretty sure I had planned to draw our planet in honour of Earth Day, but never ended up getting past making the galaxy background. I'm quite impressed though, I think I didn't do too bad of a job!

After that, I found a file called "Shades Comic". I probably planned to make a comic strip that had something to do with sunglasses. It probably would have ended in a pun too!

Hahaha, I love the small details on the book: "Harry Otter"!

Next, a file that I actually finished! This was my side of an art trade with someone on the AJA. Yikes... I thought it was phenomenal at the time, but really, I see a lot wrong with it now. Anatomy aside, it's just too airbrushed. This was from my phase where I thought everything should be airbrushed and regular pens were for the weak. I'm glad I've improved!

This next one is also a finished piece, titled EspiritoLivre. This was part of an art trade with one of the artists on the AJA that I have major respect for. She was so kind to have agreed to do an art trade with me! Most artists decline, and I can understand why. Looks like this piece was also from my major airbrush phase. Everything just feels so blurry, and the anatomy is off. I must admit, though, I do like the jawline of the wolf!

This next one... Yeah. Basically, I had drawn my raccoon waving a flag, and one of my buddies told me they kept imagining my raccoon clutching the leg of a freaked out businessman. And so, this image was born. I really don't know man!

That's all I'm gonna look at this week, I'm scared to see if there are any more images of my raccoon grabbing people haha!

That's all for this week, my friends. Sorry about how short this post was, and how I haven't had much interesting content lately. I promise to start working on more when I get the chance!

See you soon!

Beep beep, gotta go sleep!

Some AJ Graphics!

EEK!
I ALMOST FORGOT TO POST TODAY!!!

I got up at around 6:30 to go to my region choir rehearsal/concert, and that kinda threw off my entire day's schedule and all that!

It was super awesome though- everyone sounded so AWESOME together!

So yeah, other than the fact that I had to get up early (for me), and that they kept spelling my name wrong (XD), today's concert was actually really fun!

But let's just get on with the post, shall we?

So, lately, I've been obsessed with making graphics on Pixlr, as I'm sure a lot of you read on my blog! 

A lot of things in Animal Jam are very graphic-worthy, so I've been going around and making a few AJ graphics! I was originally going to post them on my blog, but I thought, "Hey, why not post them here?" After all, graphics ARE kinda art-related, in a way.

Don't question it! XD!

Anyways, here are some graphics for ya! Feel free to use them for whatever you want! You don't need to give me credit, but please don't claim them as your own, even though most of you would never do that!

 Had to leave the white inside the magic-y circles on this one, since deleting them would cause the eyes to be deleted as well.

 On this one, I cut the other turkey out, since, when I tried to remove the background, some of its face was removed as well, so that's why there's an odd notch in the tail feathers! I dunno- it might not bother you guys, but if it does, and you want to use this, I suggest putting this guy kinda peeking out from behind something, so the notch isn't visible!

The eyes of the tiger were considered part of the background, so those got cut out, and I really couldn't do anything about it- sorry! D:

Hope you guys like these! Like I said, feel free to use them for whatever you want! As always, remember to PARTY HARD, BE KIND, and JAM ON, and I'll see you all soon (maybe even at Gracie's party)!

**EDIT**

I dunno, tell me how these turn out- I just clicked on them, and they don't look as good as I'd hoped on that! May have to remake them!

New guest author!

  Hey, Jammers!  Today's post is going to be pretty short, since I only have a little while to write it and I'm writing it rather late in the day (not as late as Kara likes to write but I have to be done with the computer at 8:30 tonight and it's 8:11 right now).

  So, last month I hosted a contest for a new guest author for the blog.  Violet86271 and Transions both entered, and the guest author that I chose is....



















  Violet!  She won't be posting as often as the other authors here, but she'll pop in with posts every now and then, whenever an author is unable to post.  Congrats, Vi!  I hope you like it here :)

  Soooo, yeah.  By the way, for the past few days I've felt not too inspired to draw.  But of course, I WANTED to draw something.  A couple of days ago, I just decided to doodle some random things from random photographs.  It was actually pretty fun, just letting loose for once- I tend to be a perfectionist with my art, wanting everything to be perfect and getting frustrated when I can't get a detail right.

  Doodling is a great cure for art block, so if you ever want to draw something but don't feel particularly inspired, pick up a pen and a sheet of paper and just doodle!  I must admit, I always feel terrified to draw using a pen because of its permanence, even when doing lineart. 


  Aaaaaand, yeah, it's now 8:22, so I must go so I can squeeze in a few more YouTube videos before I get off the computer for the night ;)  Have a wonderful day full of lemonade and YouTube!  Byeeee~

Blogger Signature -- Snowlondon!

Hello! Karalee here!



I guess this'll be a short post today.... *scratches head* I can't actually think of anything to say about this siggy, except it's made for the lovely Snowlondon! 😊

I designed the colors to match her patterns and clothes, and I gave the signature a kind of fluffy, pastel feel, like her Tutu-and-Tiara-wearing Owl has! 😁 The brushes used were Flame for the yellow lettering, lowered-opacity Acrylic for the shading behind the lettering, Stripes (or was it Streaks? I can't remember) for the bows and flowers, and a Charcoal brush for the background.

I hope you enjoy it, Snow! 😃

That's all for now! Please request a signature in the comments below if you'd like to see yourself featured here! 😉

(And seriously, I need more people to draw signatures for! Come here and let me draw signatures for yooooooouuuuuuuuu!! *chases bloggers around*)



Bye guys!

PEACE!
LOVE!
NINJAAAAAAAS!
