September 2013: Harley
Since the Animals ABCs series I did in July, I've been slowing down to a rut. None of us care about the details. Where's the dern art, right?
I heard about the whole Harley Contest, but the furthest I managed to get was jut a little sketch I did during a kareoke night. (I sang. It was tragic. The end.) Anyway, those who have known me for a long while may know my little soft spot for jesters and harlequins, and thus Harley. Someday I'll do her justice. Not today though.

March 2013 Artses: Neopets?!?!??
Sketches of Kacheeks...
Art requests from Neopets...
I am on Gaia Online, which "is an English-language, anime-themed social networking and forums-based website." I've found it's a community that has a thriving character art marketplace of sorts, thus I've found a lot of inspiration there. (I tend to work on art most when I feel it will have an audience.)
Before Gaia Online, I was also on Neopets, where art was less of a focus and graphic design (buttons, websites, tables, etc.) were more in demand. More recently, I've revisited Neopets to find that users do have an interest in their characters' art. While Gaia Online users compensate artists for commissions, it would seem that Neopets artists do non-compensated requests that may or may not earn recognition of any kind. Additionally, while Gaia Online users tend to ultimately prefer the anime style of art, Neopets users tend to be more flexible about the art style, though consistently prefer characters that are usually some form of anthropomorphic character (or "furry"). While both sites have official site-wide art contests, I think I do prefer the requests on Gaia Online over Neopets.
