New Year's Eve Celebration: A video of my art!

The new year is coming and with that, I find it's time to reflect on what's happened so far and look toward the future optimistically. I've only had this blog running for a couple of months, but it features art that even goes back a few years. I wanted to assemble a video celebrating what I've done so far. Now, here it is.

You will find a mix of drawings from both of my art blogs in this video. I know I definitely want to do something like this again. there is still much more to come. More art and more surprises.

I look forward to what I will be doing in the future as well. All artists improve with time, so I wonder what I'll improve on this year. I'll just keep going with my "The best is yet to come" philosophy on life and see where it takes me. It helps to fondly remember the good parts of the past, but it also helps to remember that now is the only time you can make your choices. So please, live now, not in the past. Remember the past, live now, and anticipate what's to come.

Peace and Love

A Hidden Faery.


There's a faery hiding somewhere in this picture. Can you find her?

A Sweet and Cute Faery


I had fun drawing this one and she turned out being soooo cute. ^^

Almond Tea time!


Here's an illustration of the Strawberry Shortcake character, Almond Tea. Of course I felt inspired to draw an older version of herself because I thought it would be interesting. This is for my friend from Youtube with the unpronounceable name jbjnklkjnbhk.

Please enjoy.

Sweet as Cotton Candy



Finally complete. This one is for my friend WishBear2001 from the Rainbow Brite and Strawberry Shortcake forums. It's an illustration of her character based on herself, Cotton Candy. Drawn in SSC 2009 style and hugging Twink from Rainbow Brite. She was meant to be standing in the snow, but considering it took 3 tries to get a drawing that looked like this, I felt it was okay for to be just a character portrait.

I don't mind doing requests for friends, I just hope they're cool with whatever liberties I may take on the picture.

Anyway, Happy holidays, Wish. Enjoy your self-characterization.

I posted two versions. The black and white and the colour. Unfortunately the colour version looked better in real life, as my scanner dosen't seem to pick up on finer colours.

New: The Art of J3llb3ans II is up and running.

"What is The Art of J3llyb3ans II?" you may ask. In order to play it safe considering the sites I promote this blog on, I've decided to have a separate blog specifically for nude and semi-nude illustrations. I've posted a few drawings here that would fit better there, which is why I created it. I have a lot of illustrations to add to it as well. I'll be busy with new material for both blogs when I can find the time.

Mature audiences are invited to enjoy a gallery of nude or kinda nude art. Please enjoy.
