Do you like the new makeover?

I know, the colour scheme and stuff is similar to before, I'm just not very good at blog layouts. But I like that the banner is actually ME. I used this picture of myself:
This is hopefully not the end of the changes. Look forward to more updates and stuff tomorrow.

Opinions pleeeaaaaseeeee??! :3

New makeover coming today or tomorrow! :D

I feel bad for not updating this blog for so long, because I have a lot of new stuff to share with you readers (if anyone is still reading this, of course)! As I said in the title, this blog is getting a makeover as soon as I finish the banner that I am working on right now.
Until then, you can get an update of my graphics since the last update. I will put the drawings in a separate post, I'm too lazy to scan them all right now.

Now, before you ask anything, I made this for a project in Danish. We were working with a book and one of the tasks was to write a part of the story from another character's point of view. We were working in a group, and I did all the illustrations. So, yeah. I know, the quality of the shading itself is horrible and asdfghjklmnbvcxsertyutrewxcvbn but it's still better than a barely visible pencil-drawn illustration like by all the other groups. I like the trees though. :D
And I forgot to mention that I drew it all by myself, no reference pics.

The rest is my entries for SDNTGD Task 1 and 2 (I was eliminated after that lol)
Ok, I agree with the judges. The background is horrible. But it was my first time using a tablet - for the hair and dress - and I think it works quite well.

I understand why I was eliminated, this is better than my previous graphics but it isn't good enough anyway. There are some places that look really awkward and wrong, although for my first time drawing fur, it didn't come out as bad as I feared (the fur, everything else is much worse).
Thank you SDNTGD for giving me this opportunity, I know I'm not good enough now but maybe some day I'll become a professional graphic/animation artist - yes, I'm starting to take the dream seriously.


Yeah, that was all. But expect MUCH more from me soon - I've decided to make this into a personal blog and not only graphics, so maybe I will also start writing real life-related posts and stuff like that.

Oh, and you're still welcome to comment/react in any way and show that you are actually reading (or at least skimming through) this. :3

Random drawing made on Pixlr

Ugh, I haven't updated this blog for so long time now. I have so many new drawings and stuff to show, but I'm too lazy to scan them all. I made this sketch right now and I actually like it :)
The only problem is that I forgot to add a new layer, so this is on a white background and I can't make a graphic out of it :/

What do you think? :D

New drawings for Pottermore

Hi. It's really late but I can't fall asleep, so I'll just post this now.
On Pottermore, I read that wizards do not have any specific fashion, only the traditional clothes and pointed hats, otherwise they just wear normal muggle clothing (you might have noticed I'm talking about Harry Potter lol), so I decided to create my own. I ended up making a collection of three outfis (maybe I'll design more). I've uploaded it on the website, but I'll also post it here.
On the third one, the shirt is based off a 'real' Quidditch uniform (I googled it).
So, what do you think? A good idea or just terribly sad? :'D

PS: if you are too lazy to comment you could at least pick one of the 'reactions' or whatever t's called at the bottom of the post, it only takes one click but means a lot to me! Because you see, this blog gets quite many views but I can't actually know what the readers think about it unless you say it!

PPS: if you also have a Pottermore account, you can add me. :) My user is MahoganyStorm15658. And do you know how to make the Swelling Solution? Every time I reach the very last step, to heat it for 10 seconds or something, it says I have heated it wrong BEFORE it reached the right temperature! I'm so mad at it, but I need to make it so I can open a door in Snape's office and get ingredients for Polyjuice potion to get into the Slytherin common room :D Sounds complicated, right?
