STOP. SCROLLING. NOWWWWWWWWW.
The eraser on top is the Paper Mate Union Eraser.
I thought it wouldn’t work much, but… It erases ink.
And NOT JUST ballpoint pen ink, India Ink too.
If you make a mistake, this eraser can erase the whole thing and leave no trace AT ALL, although you do need to erase quite vigorously.
It’s only about 1-2 dollars.
The eraser pencil on the bottom is just that. It is an eraser that you can SHARPEN like a regular pencil. The brush on top is so that you don’t smear your art when you try to push off eraser crumbs. You sweep them off with the brush.
Even if you’re not an artist, signal boost please?
It’s a very cheap way to get around life.
I wanna get my hands on that eraser up top and see if it really erases ink, because that would be amazing 8l
We’ve got them at my work, Savi. They do erase ink, but mostly just because they are pretty scratchy - they can damage your paper pretty easily, especially if you are working on a softer paper. But next time you are in Redmond, you should still stop by and try it out, you might master it easier than I have. :B
Well, it turns out that RAW Artists, the organization that called me up and invited me to one of their showings, is a predatory pyramid-scam type deal that prays on the naivety and desperation of new artists and hobbyists.
The more I thought about what I’d been told over the…
Got approached by these guys, just spreading the warning. I almost got involved, if it wasn’t for my fiancee who is a musician/show coordinator and has known bands who have been sucked into very similar scams.
D: Good to know… The Seattle branch has been floating around the art community I am semi-active in for a while now, and I was wary based on that whole “ticket” aspect alone.
How much feed do you think he would charge to guard the coop.
I need me one of these bad boys.
omg the whole series of these things are rad. XD
when you lose touch with someone you really enjoyed hanging out with
This happens more often than I’d ever like to admit. And it’s no one’s fault but mine. I have a bad habit of just going quiet for extended periods, and when I finally come out of it, anyone I lost touch with along the way…it never really feels the same as before.
Yeeaaahhhhh…. D:

BLARG the colors still aren’t quite right next to the original, but its as good as I can get it. Maybe my sister’s friend Beth who will be scanning all the stuff for the book will be able to get it closer. -SHRUG-
Anyhow, the main painting for my sister’s film, Her Tragedy. This is the one that will be used on the posters and such. :3
Col-Erase pencils and Daniel Smith watercolors.
Having a 250 character limit on replies is stupid. But this piece is totally glorious, Savannah. The skin tones are delicious, the pose and body language are interesting and engaging, the linework is lovely, and the color you picked for the background is the best ever.
I really like getting to see previews of the pieces you are doing for Her Tragedy, and I’m super stoked to get the art book at some point in the future. :)
In text, should I need it:
Sketches do. But paintings? Hell no.
And then I get the urge to do things like FOR REAL GOLD LEAF and other things that can only be appreciated IN PERSON and then I’m like oh wait.
No one ever buys my originals.
-FLIPS A TABLE-
I will buy you ALL the gold leaf in the WORLD, savi. And I will purchase ALL the things you make with it. :9
Seriously, though. I would love to offer you support and encouragement in fun new art endeavors. And I have a wishlist of things I hope to commission from you one day when you are up for it, and I have the appropriate funds to offer, so until that day comes, I will happily offer my services as your art-supply-supplier. :P
:o!?!?!
fomg
Bearded Vulture painting. How much?
Or, if the original is not available, what size(s) of print(s) would you be willing/able to make and for how much?
( I’m the one that asked about it on DA a couple months back XD;;; Still in love with it! )
Hey guys, guess who has one and a half thumbs and is officially broke!
THIS GUY!
Seriously though…
I do have one and a half thumbs.
Oh, and I am poor.I don’t currently have a job, but I’m applying for some, so hopefully I’ll have one soon enough, but I can’t afford anything at the moment.
It looks like I’m stuck on beans and bananas for a while.I could really use your help.
So I’m open for commissions.
I’m open to almost anything.We can negotiate prices if you message me.
A simple drawing like the Moomin one (second one) would be about 5 bucks, really.
But something like the first one, or a watercolor painting would probably be around 25+So any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’ll try my best to satisfy you with what you ask for me to make.The only things I ask are…please no furries.
I’m okay with ponies, but nothing you wouldn’t legally be able to do with animals haha
Thanks in advance. <3
I love all of you.[Reblogging for the children of the night]
HNNNNNNG THE LACK OF WORDS.
This thing is blowing my mind and I am JEALOUS as SHIT of the person who commissioned Savi to do this. XD;;;
Absolutely. Gorgeous.
PHEW.
OKAY DISCLAIMER. I NO LONGER TAKE COMMISSIONS FOR DOLLS. I will be selling premade ones (etsy will be set up properly SOON I pinky promise) but no custom orders.
I suppose if I ever had a professional freelance offer for dolls/puppets/etc I might consider it but I have no idea what that would be. But private commissions is a no.
AND HOW LONG THIS TOOK ME is a big reason why. Seriously. This buyer was a saint. Goodness they have been waiting a long time!!!
The head and feet are made with Magic Sculpt, I usually prefer sculpey but I used magic sculpt for this guy. Painted, sealed, and then the body has wire in the legs and neck and wings, and is stuffed with quilt batting and foam and poly fill. Wings and tail have fusable quilt batting stuff.
these are just CELL PHONE PHOTOS. I will take REAL ACTUAL NICER PHOTOS before shipping him, but I don’t have the energy to set that up today, but wanted to share him with the buyer and YOU tumblr! ;p
This was a fun project. It intimidated the hell out of me and took me forever, but I think the final result is really cool, and I hope the buyer will like him. AGAIN as with all the things I’ve made, I learned a HELL of a lot making this guy.
Oh and enjoy guest appearances by my cat Ember and my dog Billy in the backgrounds.
OMG super fucking cute. I love the sense of movement, and I adore her face. :)
ummm earthbending korra?
HNNNGGGGG GODDAMNshitffffuck!!?! X3
Savannah, you are fucking ridiculous. These 4 dolls you’ve posted are all incredible, and I am SO stoked to see the others you came up with. You create such amazing beautiful things. You are made of magic and win. And this little bird monster man has all of my want.
ANOTHER of omg -30- little dolls that I’m putting together for an art show next week. I have a few done, a GREAT many ALMOST done ;p I will be uploading them as I get good pictures of them.
Faces are all cast in resin and hand painted. Details like claws, hooves, horns, and so forth are sculpted in sculpey. Bodies are hand sewn and have button jointed limbs for gentle posing.
I will make a post about the art show information when I can - its in Seattle, WA and opens next friday (I will be at the opening!) with a bunch of other artists who did 30 small artworks in a month! This show is ALWAYS a cool one, but I am particularly proud of myself this time around.
Because I know this will probably come up - the dolls will be for sale AT the art show itself first. The show will last for a month, and then whatever dolls have not sold will be posted on ETSY for sale. :3
Also I plan on taking a couple photos of these guys to show their general size. They aren’t TINY but they can sit in your hand :3
This one - little bird faced monster - has a silver skull, which doesn’t translate as well in photos as it does in person. He is SO SO SO shaggy but I thought he looked great that way so didn’t shave him a bit. He likes his wild, unkempt goth look!
New Comic Day! Add your own alt text for panel 4.
The original text for that last panel was: “Ugh. Society dictates that I sit here and put up with you until you get bored or interrupted, because asking politely for you not to bother me might make you aggressive. However, playing along despite having no interest in pursuing this conversation would make me a ‘tease’ and therefore worthy of insult. Even though I’ve never met you and you’ve invaded my personal space without my permission, asking for the basic right of privacy would be considered ‘causing a scene.’ I hate you for putting me in this position, and you don’t even realize it.”
It didn’t quite fit.
I have lived through Kate’s elaborated text description to this comic so. many. times. Especially in the last twelve months, my Unwanted Scary Male Attention encounters have been through the goddamn roof. It makes me fucking terrified and furious (but secretly, because I’m afraid of bringing out the offending guys’ aggression against me or ‘making a scene’ if I tell them to leave me alone)
TTTHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSS. DX;; I am so thoroughly thankful I don’t have to take the bus into Seattle anymore for this very reason.

oh my god everybody fucks up holly and nelson! they’re very uncommon though so who can blame them.. :/
Go ahead, try to say it. It looks simple but people somehow fuck it up. “Dessain”
Nabilah instead of Nabila. And.. my dad’s name. Always. -.-
Somehow people fuck up “Contes”I don’t even fucking know.
It’s Hebdon. One “e”, not two.
Stoffberg.
Not Stofberg.Or Stoftberg.Or Soffberg.Or Stoberg.Or Stoffberge.Or Stroffbert.
And definitely not Iceberg.
YOU SPELL IT HOW YOU SAY IT.
Sean Reilly
NOT: Shawn Riley, Shaun Reily, Shon Rilley, etc.
A lot of people used to mistake Jack as Zack. :< Also, people forget the last E in the Bentley.
You wouldn’t pronounce Miller as “miler” so why the hell would Milley be pronounced Miley?
forever a huh-ston never a houston
‘e’ isn’t pronounced like an ‘a’ in “Isabelle”, people. if it was Isabella it’d be spelled Isabella
NO ONE EVER SPELLS MY NAME WRONG HAHAHAHA
oh no wait some dumbass decided that ‘lauryn’ was the correct spelling once
no but seriously, if you misspell my name, your first language better not be english.
ohmygodTHIS.
I think there have MAYBE been a total of three people in my entire life that have pronounced it right the first time. I dunno, I might be being generous.
I suppose I can’t blame them, it is spelled weird. But honestly, you’re all just trying way too hard.

Animation of this quality blows my mind. I’d enjoy 3D a lot more if there were more of this going on.
I offered to draw Liz a picture for Christmas, but it took longer than I thought, so it ended up being more of a birthday present. Even though it was also late for that, and ended up being more of a reverse birthday present that I gave her during my birthday celebration.
Regardless, I’m pretty pleased with it. :3
