Three Unfinished Masterpieces... Which Should I Complete?

Hey Jammers, Arctic here- long time no see!

This week I was going through some of my old masterpiece files, and found a lot that I haven't completed. I picked three out this week that I'm interested in completing, but I want YOU GUYS to help me choose which one to finish off! Let's get into it then!

This first file is titled "Little Arctic". It looks like I had begun a sketch of what would have been my main animal when it was younger, meeting a ladybug! Pretty cool! The legs and tail are off, but that's alright- it's just a sketch after all!


This next one is titled "Apple Records". For this one I was trying to draw a realistic apple to match the Apple Records logo. I didn't get very far, but I think this would be a cool masterpiece to complete!


For reference here is the logo:


Finally, we have a file titled "All You Need is Love", in reference to the Beatles' song. I'm pretty sure I was going for a simplistic rainbow background with the lyrics in fancy lettering overtop of it, or maybe even drawing the Yellow Submarine!


So there we have it! Which one do YOU think I should complete? Tell me in the comments below! 

Have a groovy day!

OC Art


Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyo Jammers! Hope you are having a happy Sunday! 
 A few months (or maybe just a month)  ago, I made a few pieces of art, but forgot about them completely! 
So here they are:

First, my Warrior Cat OC, Moonblossom, (Whose name I keep changing around, Moonstream, Moonember, Moonwhisker, etc....) But I think I have finally decided on one, Moonblossom. XD Once I finished I realized how much she looks like Ravenpaw, oh well XD I quite like how it turned out! 


Still somewhat a WIP, a random girl I attempted on drawing..
It turned out... interesting.. Not my best but not my worst
And now I plan on drawing the Seven Fountains of Alleble (Not really sure how to spell that..) which is something from The Door Within (GO READ IT ITS SUPER GOOD)
Anyways, sorry for the short post! I need to draw some things, and take a picture of drawings I have done IRL..
\
Bye!

Beautiful CS Pets Art!

Woo! I'm here, and I'm...
Okay, well, when I started writing this, I was sorta on time, but then I went out to eat with my family, so, uh, that changed, eheheh!

Now before I get this post started, I wanted to say that, trust me, if I had any new or updated art of my own from recently, I'd definitely post about it.
But delightful school had to take away a bunch of my time, and on Wednesdays, I now stay until 7 for my play practice, which leaves me very tired afterwards. So I really haven't been on blogs and AJ much at all these past 2 weeks. :1
I'll work more on my Friendship Quilt tonight (although all my specific colors were reset... DX), but for now, I suppose I'll go ahead and show some art of some CS pets I found on the site a few days ago that I really liked! So let's get started!



First, an absolutely adorable winged deer, based off of this pet!
I love how the artist used their own unique cartoon style, but still made the pet look super accurate! And its sweet little grin is a nice touch! Overall, I have to say, this is one of my favorite CS
pieces I've seen so far!
 Next, a very handsome-looking Raven Dog, inspired by this pet!!
This artist did an epic job on this, and I love how they made the eyes glow a bit! And those wings... man, I wish I could draw angel-looking wings like that, XD!

Next, this awesome Sunback dog, made to look like this high-demand pet!
I love how this artist used kinda used the CS style, but still managed to make it their own by changing the position and making a few more minor changes! And that "Chickensmoothie's Pet" at the bottom really makes it look like a real pet in the game! Definitely one of my favorite CS pieces as well! :D
 Goodness, just LOOK at the detail on this! This art must've taken AGES!
This one is made to resemble this rainbow-striped dog, that I don't actually know the CS name of, XD!
As you can see, this person did a really amazing job! I love the 3D look of those paws, and the fluffy look of the chest fur! :o
 Next, a super sweet-looking China dog, made to look like this pet, I believe!
I really like how this artist made the dog's eyes open, and the pink streaks also give it a really cool touch! Plus, the simpler style really makes this dog seem adorable- just look at that faceeee! It's so cuuute! XD!
And finally, two beautiful star lions, made to be these two!

The way the purple lion blends in with the background is really cool, in my opinion, and I just love how this person made the stars! Those two look very happy, hehe!




Whew! I did it! And not too too late! :D
XD! Well, anyways, I've got to go, but I'll see you all next time! Peace love ninjas- have a great day, and don't forget to PARTY HARD, BE KIND, and JAM ON! ;)

This Is a Post Without a Good Title

I.

Need.

INSPIRATION!!



I'm back on Animal Jam for the first time in months, and yet somehow it's becoming harder then ever to find a good, AJ-related topic for my blog posts! I've drawn every prompt everyone could think of, and anything I'm drawing in my spare time is either fanart for something not-AJ or didn't turn out how I intended it to (usually both).



With that in mind, I am making a desperate plea to please, please help me find something good to give you guys for weekly posts? *puppy dog eyes*

(Unless you guys actually like these random art-tutorial-collections and occasional things I sketch more than what I used to post? Seriously, please do tell me if that's true.)





A really cool holding hands tutorial! I wanna use this to make fanart of the characters River Song and the Doctor from Doctor Who. 😋 If you made fanart with this, who would you draw holding hands?





Feeeeeeeeeeeeet. I love this artist's style, but can never seem to achieve the simple elegance and fluid motion that their lines have. Can't seem to figure out whether that's because I haven't practiced enough and am giving up too easily, or whether it's because my style has always seemed to naturally lean more towards "soft 'n sketchy" and should be left to develop in its own way.

To prune and shape the branches of artistic style, or not to prune--?

Eh. That may or may not be The Question, but it's one I'll answer later, at any rate.

For now, feet.





Not quite sure how to make sense of this one, but it definitely has some useful insights on perspective and position of the arms, regardless of how ambiguously presented they may be. (Perhaps the website it was originally posted on had more context? I did find this on Pinterest, so sadly much information had been lost before it got to me.)





Folds in clothing! This is something I really need to study in-depth, because I can sense that they need to be there in my drawing, but many attempts to draw them in looks -- weird. And tight. And not-how-fabric-should-go. (ESPECIALLY the armpit-sleeve thing! Mine always look like the "what not to do" illustration.)

This triangle method should really help me in the future! (Now to draw something that requires clothes... oh who am I kidding I'm totally gonna draw My Little Ponies after this.)



Last one! This one is especially for all'y'all Warrior Cats fans out there -- a few tips on how to get that paw, belly, or bone structure juuuuust right!





"Well, that's all the time we have for today, kids. Remember: God made you special, and He loves you VERY MUCH.

Goodbye!"



( ^^ Points if you tell me in the comments where that's a quote from. 😉)



PEACE!
LOVE!
NINJAAAAAAAS!



(DXplorergirl)



P.S.
Jokes. Because I wouldn't leave you hanging, would I now? 😋

Okay. NOW all done.

Bye! C: *waves*

Homemade Squishies!

Okay, so over the President's day weekend, I decided to try and make homemade squishies for the first time! If you don't know what squishies are, they're like these really SQUISHY stress toys. I was going to do this whole 1 part A and 1 part B solution thing, but eh. I decided it was much cheaper if I used memory foam that I already had. Where did I get this spongey foam you might ask? Well... my mom and I may have murdered my dad's memory foam pillow. DON'T WORRY, WE REPLACED IT!


MATERIALS NEEDED!


MEMORY FOAM


SCISSORS OR SOME SUPER SHARP OBJECT *DON'T HURT YOURSELVES, KIDS*


PUFFY PAINT OR FABRIC PAINT *DON'T USE ACRYLICS, IT MAY DRY WHEN YOU SQUISH IT*


A WHOLE LOTTA TIME

Ahem, anyway, since I am COOKIES, I obviously made my very first squishy, a cookie one! I first started with a rectangle shape, and then trimmed A LOT to make it into a round shape. ( I DID warn you that you need a lot of time) I suggest that you trim tiny bits at a time.


Once you're satisfied with your shape, you can start painting. I used puffy paints! WOAAAH SO MANY COLORSSSSS!






Okay, the painting is pretty self-explanatory so I'm just gonna show a picture of the final product!

THERE IT IS! My lovely kawaii cookie :o 






And I'm also working on this donut squishy, I'll probably finish it tomorrow. I hope you guys liked this post, and have a wonderful day!! ✌🏻PEACE 💖LOVE 🍪... COOKIES?

More Awesome Art From Other Animal Jammers!

Me: *Rushes in super fast and skids to a halt*
Me: I'M HERE, I'M HERE!! I ALMOST FORGOT YOU GUYS BUT I DIDN'T!!!
You Guys: Isn't it night for you?
Me: Well... yeah... but I remembered!


XD! Eheheh, sorry about that guys- was volunteering today, so I couldn't post earlier in the day!
But I'm here now, so let's get this post started!

 First in this art showcase sorta-thin (XD), this amazing hummingbird, made by Earthmuffin! The colors on this are especially beautiful! I love the rainbow-looking end of the tailfeathers!
 HEY LOOK SARAH! IT'S MIDNIGHT!! XDD!
Honestly, this Masterpiece is AMAZING- the artist did such a detailed job on that fur, and it looks perfect! And its adorable eyes, and very-cool claws... ACK, okay, I know badgers can be vicious, but can I just hug this one?! It looks so SOFTTT!! XD!
 Next, a very beautiful bird (sorry guys, I know dog breeds, not bird types, XD) soaring over the water! The reflections on the water in the background are very well done, and AH, just look at the design on those feathers! Goodness, this must've taken a long time to make!!
 I'm sorry- I know we all know Frog by now- but this art is BEAUTIFUL! My favorite are the colors- so bright and aquatic-y... if that's a thing. XD!
 Wow, this one was taken FOREVER ago! But it's still an awesome piece of art!
Goodness, I love those tree trunks, XD! And this artist really pays attention to fur detail, which I also love!
 Some fanart made for Anjulfire, a very awesome AJ artist! I absolutely love the simple style Fateful used- I use it a lot, and... idk, I just like how clean it looks, XD! Awesome job on that Phoenix Armor, too!
 I love this one- it's a Pokemon called Articuno, a very beautiful and rare blue bird! The color scheme is awesome, in my opinion, but I think my favorite would have to be that wing! Idk, it just looks really well done to me! XDD!
And finally, another one I took forever ago, XD!
Man, this eye is AMAZING- I actually love how they used the smear tool so much for the fur! Looks very realistic!



Alright, well, that's all I've got for now, I'm afraid! I'll see you all next Saturday, or even sooner on my blog, and to a few of you, I'll see you tomorrow, most likely, hehe! ;)
Remember to PARTY HARD, BE KIND, and JAM ON, you guys! Byeeeeee!!

Some Random Pieces of Art (and Just Enjoying Writing)

Hi, Guys! I've just been so busy with school but today I have off! Yes, that's right! No school! Meaning I have more time to draw, read, play Animal Jam, and Chicken Smoothie! The weather was nice too so I got to spend some time outside. My brother and I went for some bike rides around our block.

I finally finished my pixel butterfly masterpiece! Here it is! I know it's not the greatest or most detailed but I'm really happy with the way it came out!

I've also been busy on Chicken Smoothie! I made a galaxy face. If you play Chicken Smoothie here it is. Here's a picture of it:

I'm also working on a jellyfish. Here's a few pictures of progression.

I also baked oatmeal raisin cookies! Do you want to see them?



Here's the beautiful smooth batter.
And the oats and raisins added in.
And finally, a few of the finished cookies!


Well, I hope you enjoyed these pieces of art and cookies! Next week I'll be showing a sketchbook I'm working on. Have a great day and stay awesome!
