Experimenting with clouds, and perspective lines. I saw these clouds while someone was driving me eastward. It also gave me a chance to try pacing my work, which I think I failed at doing. #clouds

I listened to Chopin's 3 Nocturnes as inspiration. Sorry, you may need to turn the brightness on higher for this one.

Roselinen (which I found out is actually her name), daughter of Quillton, Finn's pillow wife from the pillow world, from the recent Adventure Time episode. Not my best work, of course, but it still took me hours. I'm still learning how to draw the human form. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve, I would love suggestions! Please realize that Roselinen is not supposed to have a nose, fingers, or toes. #adventuretime

#painttheworld I wanted to paint something one doesn't normally see, so I painted many different kinds of landscapes in 1 painting. It is an original painting, despite using several pictures of a desert as reference.

I drew this in accounting class, then traced and colored it on Colors3D. It's a Deku Baba from The Legend of Zelda series, this one is specifically from the Southern Swamp in Termina. I tried a new shading technique where I applied full-black, opacity all the way down, to the proper areas, then I colored solid colors in a different layer and merged them. Also, I used brighter colors than usual. #zelda #majorasmask

I drew a very simplified version in accounting class, then traced that on Colors3D. It's the doomsday scene from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, where the moon is minutes away from crashing into Clock Town and destroying the land around it. I actually started this about a month ago, but it took so long to complete. Now, I'm finally submitting it as my 20th painting. You can see the skull kid, but he's really tiny. Oh, and I support Operation Moonfall! #zelda #majorasmask

This was a drawing I made in Accounting class, and I traced it onto Colors3D and colored it. It depicts the four instruments used by Link in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask all playing in time together: the ocarina, the wood pipes, the drums, and the guitar fashioned out of a large fish skeleton. The drawing is original, other than the fact that the instruments are from Zelda. I spent about a week lining up all of the eighth notes on the right pixel-by-pixel. #zelda #majorasmask

This map is in celebration of my one hundredth like, which was given sometime between 7pm and 2:30am last night when I wasn't paying attention. I tried some special effects to make this look frosty, I'm not sure why. Thanks for all the likes, people!

"It is an active volcano, after all!" - My first-person depiction of Death Mountain, from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I always found it incredible to think of a 10-year-old boy climbing a volcano apparantly in mid-eruption. I think this more accurately portrays the fear Link must have felt. #zelda

Iteration three of the Sierpinski Triangles, but in the form of a Triforce! #zelda

Also Iteration 1 of the Sierpinski Triangles. I know this idea is grossly overdone here on the gallery, but I have a new idea of posting a couple more paintings displaying the Triforce as 2nd and 3rd Iterations of the Sierpinski Triangles. But for now, here's the original Triforce. #zelda

Her name is Allegra, and she plays V iolin. She's an OC created for [ethan's a ninja]'s contest.

Link stands in utter disbelief as he faces his next obstacle, wondering how he could possibly climb this massive cliff. "I don't understand... the map specifically says 'canyon'! Why do I keep having to go up?!" - - I never trace, as always. I'm quite happy with how this turned out. #zelda #majorasmask

One of the sadder LoZ moments, from Majora's Mask. Afternoon of the 2nd day, Anju shows up in the pouring rain and thunderstorms hoping to meet her missing fiance, only to be disappointed. #zelda #majorasmask

Please check out the other paintings in my gallery. I tried a close-up of Madison (the brown spot on her eye is on purpose, that is a unique physical feature of her). #madison

This is the first time I've ever seriously tried to draw or paint a person. Honestly, I did way better than I had even hoped. This is a portrait of my girlfriend Madison, she's the best girlfriend I could ever hope for. I never trace from internet photos, but I did get the background symmetrical by flipping the photo and saving it to the SD card to trace for the other side. #madison #clarinet

Best when viewed at a brightness level of 2 or higher. The moon turned out really well in this one (I never trace), but I have to work on object placement. Was the tree a good idea, or should I've put something else?

It was originally supposed to be Lake Michigan, since I live near the Dunes, but the painting was pretty lame for a while, so I added the palm tree and sea gulls. needless to say, there are no palm trees on great lake shores, so let's say this is Florida or something.

It's a little more simplistic than usual, but I kinda like the style. Hope you like!
