Commissions now open

Hey everyone, I know it's been a while since I've posted anything important in one of these journals.

So, I just got a Paypal account and therefore am now able to accept paid commissions, yay!

Alright, so here's the deal if you're interested:

Any 8.5 x 11 piece of work will be $10. You can browse through my gallery and see if anything strikes your fancy or you may ask me to create something for you. If I see that your commission is a little bit more labor intensive then the price may change... so just bear with me.

Any and all puzzles are $8. I have mostly rectangular shaped ones but I also have heart shaped ones. So specify if you wish them to be rectangular or heart shaped.

Paper dolls, including a doll and one outfit are $8 dollars. Any additional outfits are $2 each. These will not be pre-cut, you will have to do your own cutting.

I am also pretty flexible so if you wish me to make something else, such as postcards or posters of other sizes, just ask and we can negotiate a price later on.

Also, I am currently trying to become an illustrator. If anyone has a story but no one to draw their characters and scenes for them, and if you like my work (I can accommodate a lot with different styles)feel free to contact me. I would really love to illustrate for you.

Anyone interested I ask that you please note me, answer directly to this journal, or e-mail me at: chibiangelofhappiness@gmail.com.

Thank you guys!

This quiz is from :iconfuyou-hime:, but I was tagged by :iconakai-tenshi:

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about their self on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs.

1. Uh this one is obvious but I love to draw... and coloring to me is very soothing.
2. I've switched what I want to become "when I grow up" about a million times... currently I'm thinking about becoming an illustrator.
3. Right now I'm volunteering at Marbles Kids Museum in downtown Raleigh! Which has got me thinking that perhaps I should pursue children's book illustration specifically.
4. Um I love fantasy and science fiction genres, books, movies and the like.
5. Because of this I have fallen in love with Star Trek... yes I watched the new movie, and the original series, and the other Star Trek movies, and now I'm working on the animated series.
6. I like anime... okay no biggie there. My favorite is still Magic Knight Rayearth.
7. I'm going to be legal soon... but I don't want to drink. I don't feel all that compelled.
8. I am not a very patient person and I get stressed out and irritated easily... I need to work on that.

Tag for art style

  • Mood: Tender
  • Listening to: Sonic drowning music
  • Reading: Reservoir Chronicles Tsubasa
I got tagged by both :icontheartslave: and :icontheblueavenger: if you feel like it you can do it too.

Your name?
My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die... okay no I'm actually Thais Lopes.

If possible, your age?
I'm 20 although soon to be 21.

When did you start drawing?
As soon as my parents put a crayon in my hand.

Which hand do you use for drawing?
My right hand.

Which is easier to draw - male or female?
The females are easier for me, and I tend to draw them more often but I do draw males as well.

Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Longer hair is easier, it's easier to make it flow.

Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Facing the right.

Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
I tend to draw a 3/4 perspective, but if I had to choose it would be front view.

What do you have problems in drawing
A lot actually, like a background for one, correct anatomy, realism and the like. I gotta work on that.

What do you like to draw?
I really like to draw people and clothing mostly, or illustrating things from books, or making comics of Star Trek. XP

Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
I consider myself mostly a traditional artist but I can and do use other digital mediums, such as Photoshop, to draw and color.

Where do you start drawing from?
I tend to do a sketch of the whole figure before fixing the whole thing up, starting from the head, usually the face.

What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
Well like I just said I making a rough outline and then go over it and fix it up. Then I'll ink it with pens and either color it in with pencils or pens or I'll scan and color it on photoshop.

Any tips for coloring/shading?
I'd say to not go crazy with the colors, choose a few and then stick to shades of those to color the whole image. As for shading, just remember where you determine your light source to be and shade in the opposite direction.

How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
I usually take longer then the average person. It takes me about an hour to be satisfied with the line art and then a few more for coloring purposes. I may not end up coloring the whole image in a day if I'm using a digital medium.

What music do you listen to while you draw?
Usually I'll have the radio tuned to NC State's college radio station, WKNC 88.1.

How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
Well some days I'm inspired and it'll come quickly, other days I need more time.

Your favorite drawing utensils?
The tried and true pencil and paper.

Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
I think I tend to use a lot of red just cause it's the most vibrant color. My favorite color though is pink.

Your favorite style(s)?
I like CLAMP's old style of drawing a lot, as well as Ai Yazawa's.

What kind of artist are you aiming for?
I want to be able to create really intricate characters and be able to illustrate interesting sections of stories.

Thank you.

Multimedia Shorts

Hello everyone, I hope you are enjoying the holiday season.
Below you will find both my midterm and final that I did for my Multimedia Studio. I tried uploading them to DA but it was taking way too long.

[link]

The first is meant to be an add for a comedy group that I am a part of called the CIA, Comedic Improvisation Alliance. If you wish to find out more about this group feel free to note me or message me.

[link]

The second started off as an add for the Art & Design department but ended being way waaaaaay more random. It's pretty much a girl vs. boy, cute vs. gothic type thing. The main plot is of a spider who is minding his own business when all of a sudden this logo looking thing comes wanting to show off and fight.

Enjoy!
