Wishing you all an awesome 2012!
It’s an especially busy year for me, so posts here might be on the infrequent side, but I guess I might as well throw up a couple doodles for friends I drew over the holidays in the meantime. :]
More to come when I’ve got a bit of time to do some more scribbling. Later!
Did I ever mention that I love femshep.com? It’s an awesome community if you’re a fan of Mass Effect‘s awesome female commander, as I am. :]
Anyway, I drew this for the site’s Art of Courage art contest, featuring artwork of FemShep at her best in combat. Yep, it’s Braea again. I may be drawing a lot more of her because I have an obsession with Mass Effect that may or may not be unhealthy. xD

You’re welcome to vote for me if you’re a member of the site and this one turns out to be your favorite, but I hope you’ll take a look at all the fantastic entries before deciding! I’ve been enjoying them all, and the final deadline was extended to tonight at 11pm EST, so I hope many more people submit their artwork. C:
I just sent this off to BioWare for their Fan Art Showcase.

I wish I could’ve spent more time on this – I really wanted to add more of my favorite characters (like Wrex), but I just ran out of time with all that was going on these couple of weeks. Braea doesn’t look quite right, but she’s close enough for jazz. Don’t look too hard, though. There are a ton of mistakes that I wish I’d had time to fix, too. ;P Sorry, dudes. Next time.
I’ve been playing through Mass Effect (the first one) recently in preparation for Mass Effect 3. To give you an idea of how much I love this game, well, I already finished Mass Effect 2 on the Xbox, but I decided to replay everything on the PC so that I can take videos and screenshots and stuff. I’m chipping at it a couple hours at a time after work and life/social/other obligations, here and there. It probably will take me until ME3 comes out, but hey – I preordered, and I’ll be ready.

All right. I’m finally going to get started on this thing. Of course, it means that the website may break unexpectedly, so thanks in advance for your patience.
A lot of the testing is probably going to happen at my blog, which is actually the source of all these updates that appear on my main website. I’m going to do my template testing at the blog, so it shouldn’t impact the front page too much for now, and then change out the main website to WordPress because I’m rather tired of dealing with translating RSS to HTML. It’s a pain, seriously.
If you want to see what I’m up to, though, feel free to check by the blog from time to time. Getting this done may be slow going, since I’ve actually got my plate full of life right now, but hey, any progress is progress, eh?
Getting my old versions of Photoshop and Painter to work on my new computer was actually a bit messier than I’d expected and required a bit of creativity and digging around on the Internet. Everything seems intact now, though.

I’m in the cognitive process of deciding how I want to redo my website in order to take better advantage of the wonderful thing that is WordPress. I use it for blogging these updates right now, but I’m thinking of just switching over completely. :] More on that later when I actually make some progress on a custom template of some sort. Don’t be surprised if the site gets a little wonky over the next months, though. I might be experimenting.
Someone liked the gothic-esque style I used for the Mourne sketch and requested one of her own.
Heavy lashes are fun. XD
