2015 "Resolution" video!

My video for my 2015 "resolutions" is up! 

OOTD- Bones, frill, and checks

Today was a dreary day, but that wasn't going to stop me from putting together an outfit, slapping on some makeup, and then awkwardly shooting myself in my own office.

Thrify 2015 is all about having good finds and making outfits work. When I combine my thrifted items with my existing wardrobe, great things happen.

Today's outfit is Bones, Frill, and Checks.

Ellie is mad creepin

UNIF bone moto jacket paired with a thrifted Lauren Conrad top (3.99)

"Mom what are you doing."

Men's check shirt, thrifted for about $5.99

I had been craving some heeled angle boots for winter and these boots are the best mix of 90's/early 2000's and comfort. And for anyone who claims leggings are not pants? Whatever. They're hella comfortable. Wear what you like, not what you think you have to like.

Boots 6.99 from Goodwill. leggings from Cotton On. 

Good start to thrifty 2015 I must say! Im excited for more awkward photoshoots, and hopefully when the weather gets better I can move some outside. Who else is doing thrifty 2015?

Speedpaint Study Video 1/3/15

Working on my lighting and portrait studies, and recording them!

And the final,

Thanks for watching! I'm hoping to do more of these, and hopefully improve my knowledge of lighting and portraiture.

Creative 2015

Happy New Years!

I hope everyone had a wonderful start to 2015!

One of my goals this year is to be more creative, and focus my attention onto improving my artwork.

I was lucky to be gifted a new tablet, and I've been glued to it since it arrived.

So far I've only done a couple pieces with it, but I wanted to share two of them. Both of which happen to be Smite related artwork, (a video game I play often) so enjoy.

And since I'm in the habit of posting some artwork, here's a portrait of my Night Elf druid I did a few months ago. I'm still very happy with this one.

2015 will be pushing myelf into doing things I don't normally do, but want to do more of. Digital painting is the highest on the list, and I'm happy I've already gotten a good start on it. Feels good man, feels good.

I look forward to sharing more art, and rebuilding my portfolio with my new and improved artwork and style.

Here's to a great 2015!

-Bonus addition!
Finished this one tonight too.
