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

Currently working on...

... my entry for SDNTGD season 3. I know I'm not allowed to show my entry before it's published (although I haven't even finished yet) but here's a little preview of the graphic:

As you can see, I still need to do the part I'm so bad at, the hair. But I really like what I've made so far!

Oops, I also need to add some highlights on the neck.


What do you think so far?

UPDATE: I got a tablet for christmas, so I'm using it for the hair!

I got eliminated from SDNTGD...

Yes, but at least I came as far as Task 1! There are people who applied and didn't even get to the competition itself!
I deserved the scores I got, and I will use the criticism for my future graphics. I am a bit sad right now, but I'm not giving anything up! By the next cycle I will improve, and get further than task 1!
Here are my entries (for some reason, only the first one was shown/judged)

I actually like the second one more, so I don't know why only the first was shown. Maybe I made a mistake when writing the link, so it was invalid!

But if the second entry was also shown, it probably wouldn't have changed anything. I am still not good enough. Yet.




P.S. I am sorry if I sound mean because I am in a bad mood right now, but I have a little rant for you, the readers of this blog.

I get around 8 visits every day, and I often get new graphic/banner requests just because they are free. It means that many people like my graphics and I should take that as a compliment, but when you visit this blog can't you leave a short comment?
The only comments I get are when I finish requested graphic and the person who it's for writes 'thank you, it's nice' or something like that. But if I post graphics or drawings for personal use, nobody cares! The visitors who have randomly come across my blog quickly leave again without a comment or even a 'reaction' (the rating at the bottom of every post) to any of my posts, and those who request a graphic only care about their own graphic!

I'm not necessarily asking for a positive comment, but if you are writing something negative it should just contain some constructive criticism. What do you mean by 'constructive criticism', you might be wondering. And I mean don't just say 'this is ugly' but explain why and what I can do better! Just be honest, and say it in a polite way.

So dear readers, if you like my graphics, please let me know that! Comment, share your opinions! It doesn't take that long!

I can't wait to show you my entries for SDNTGD Task 1!!! (I'll explain why there are two)

Okay, that was quite random ^^
