International Red Panda Day!

Posted on September 21, 2013 by BrassyDel

I don’t usually post on the weekends, but apparently it’s International Red Panda Day. I also just bought Manga Studio 4 EX on the big SmithMicro sale, so I tried out drawing a red panda in it. I have a Wacom Intuos 3, so it’s great to have, but I do have problems drawing on it since there’s no screen…

Fanart Friday: Donkey Kong Country Returns (Diddy Kong!)

Posted on January 4, 2013 by BrassyDel

One of the games Pixie asks to watch is Donkey Kong Country Returns. The kid loves monkeys and they always get her chattering. You play as Donkey Kong, who I believe is actually a great ape, and you can find his simian sidekick Diddy Kong (perhaps he’s adopted?) in barrels throughout each level. Your hit counter goes from 2 hearts…

Another super simple doodle, this guy is an arctic fox from my sketchbook.

Ride Cow! Harvest Moon Fanart

Posted on July 9, 2012 by BrassyDel

I’m pretty much in love with Harvest Moon, after picking up Harvest Moon: Animal Parade for the Wii for $15 after Christmas. I used to play FarmVille on Facebook, but Zynga’s privacy policies are fairly dystopian. So at the time, I would have itty bitty baby Hanners on my lap and we’d talk about the animals. She loved it, and…

Giraffes the Last.

Posted on July 13, 2011 by BrassyDel

FOR NOW. And yes. I misspelled “giraffe” on the bottom. I was going to play it off like the giraffe misspelled it, but pretty sure nobody’s buying that. I AM A TERRIBLE LIAR. And I’m not sure why I feel the need to apologize for that, but I’M SORRY.

Giraffes the Second

Posted on July 7, 2011 by BrassyDel

After my general displeasure with Tuesday’s giraffes, I decided to start from something really simple and add a little more detail. I am moderately more pleased this go around, though I find myself wishing my University had offered any sort of Graphics Arts in their art department. No such luck. It was also heavily geared toward the starving artist set…

Giraffes the First

Posted on July 5, 2011 by BrassyDel

I’ve been trying to find more time throughout the day to sketch, and I started with giraffes the other day. I’ve been tring to get this whole “cute” thing down, which is not too easy. Especially since I am ridiculously out of practice. Though, if you want to see a master of it, check out Ursula Vernon, who even…
