My first full environment!

Exciting news! Earlier today, the Kickstarter to get the second volume of CHESS off of the ground went live! For those who don't yet know, here's a bit about it.

Written by a 7 year old as a way to cope with bullying, and brought to life by myself, CHESS follows the tale of a young girl who finds herself suddenly thrust into a foreign land called "Newland" after receiving a mystical tome from her mother. In her search for a way back home, she encounters Toby and his sister Kate. Together, they must reassemble the key to the rainbow bridges, shattered by the evil and heartless, Black Queen.

There are over 23 chapters already written and posted here at http://tinytales.net . In fact, she hasn't even FINISHED writing it!
We successfully sold more copies than anticipated at this year's Anime Expo in Los Angeles. If all goes well, next year will bring AT LEAST the second issue to Artist Alley. But we need your help.

Money is a tough commodity to come by, believe me I know. But word of mouth is almost just as valuable. Stop by the kickstarter and check it out. If you can't back us, please at least share it and help spread the word. This girl and her family have some amazing things in the works, and I am excited to see word of CHESS spread like wildfire.

Last night I was working on some traditional art practice now that I have some markers (purchased at Anime Expo last week).

It was an interesting and fun experience, but the fine brush wasn't small enough for the scales. I could barely get the in there without excess bleeding. Didn't want to take a chance with the yellow tint to it. But OMG was it fun! I really love how they turned out! Part of me wants to do traditional commissions but am not sure. Working traditionally is nice for me because there's no external pressure for it to be perfect. I can do what I want to do with it. But once someone is paying me for something, I feel this crushing pressure to do it perfectly. With digital it is easier to change something if they want it changed. 

I dunno. I will figure it out some day.  

Back from Anime Expo 2014

Will be posting pictures within a day or two over on my FaceBookPage. Omg there are so many! lol. But I had an absolute blast. Just... I am crazy tired. lol.
Hubs is still at work. Kids went to bed great. Now I am sitting here staring at my monitor and trying to decide what to do as I wait for my tea to cool... What is this silence?
