OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS!

These reflect my updated prices (soon to be posted in a journal as well)

With this image I am now open for commissions, I’m still finishing up a few other ones that I have left but I can not keep my queue closed any longer. I’m out of school with a BFA in Illustration and sadly only working limited hours a week in order to make ends meet I need to open my commissions back up.

I’m open for all types, this image only illustrates my normal artwork and comic work with their prices
prices for chibi/cute style and reference sheets

If you have any questions please feel free to ask

Anonymous asked: Sorry I posted to this blog instead of the other one. I've got both on my dash. I didn't mean to offend, really. I do really like your art. Maybe I just didn't see it as a mesh of two styles before. I don't recall seeing that on the ponies, but I could totally be not remembering things. The last thing I want to do is discourage an artist, but when comparing directly to Mucha's style, I felt those doodles were a little plain-jane.

again they were not meant to be a complete copy of the style, just loosely based off of it.
I do want to do some really detailed work with a few of the ponies later while Emulating the style fully, but until I have the time to do so I’ll just being doing the simple bust

Plus the bust were intended to be simple so they could be printed as small cards or buttons (again once I get the time).

I have worked in that style before for another project of mine, I drew a Virgo Moth, again adding the detail in shading, but it was to be in and of the style and it was pulled off rather well for

Anonymous asked: I've got a beef with your "Mucha inspired" pieces. I don't want to go out of my way to be rude and offer unwanted critique, but I can't take it anymore. I've seen far too many of those doodles to not say anything. You need to add MUCH more detail to them to really evoke an art nouveau feel. Just picking up on the swirly hair outline isn't really enough to consider it working in an artist's style. You have no full figures, no borders, no drapery, nothing other than the hair. ADD DETAIL GURL!

I never wanted to go full detail on these since the show is simple itself
these are just to be fun for myself as a way to relax, just bust not full images, also not all Mucha/Art Nouveau are full figure (though it was the style that started pinup)
The idea I was getting at by doing them this way was indeed the mane’s being inspired and the outlining of the black on the outmost and color on the inside
Once I have more time on my hands I may go back in and add more detail, however I like what I have done and really don’t feel like changing them (except Luna, I want to redraw her)
After doing these bust I do want to do some full body ones, but again after I finish college, still finishing up my Thesis

TL:DR
Inspired means based off of, these are based off of Art Nouveau lightly while still keeping the simple look of the show
These are done for fun to help me relax so
I may add more detail later

also…
i’ve been posting them on my other tumblr, why are you saying this over here and not on my more FanArt based tumblr….?

The Lusty Fruit
-Dreah

Lost forever in the depths of Hades
stolen away to be a bride
never again will I see the Spring
wasting away like the trees of Winter
He speaks; “Persephone,
please partake of this Pomegranate.”

The fruit it tempts me, that red pomegranate.
I see the lust deep within the eyes of Hades
again he whispers my name; “Persephone,
my sweet and delicate little flower bride,
please eat; you are wasting away, like the trees of Winter.”
Refusing the fruit I beg for freedom for Spring.

Oh mother, oh mother please let me spring
out of this place away from his evil pomegranate
I’d rather waste away such as the Winter
then ever except the lust of Hades!
I wish not to be his little bride.
I am your daughter, your little Persephone!

He hisses taking hold of my arm; “Persephone

do not be so harsh. What good is Spring?
Hush now my little bride
and eat, eat of this pomegranate
for I am the lord, your Hades
and this time together is our Winter.”

Slipping out of his grip like the dead tree of Winter
weeping I can hear my mother now, “Oh Persephone
my darling, stolen away by the dreaded Hades!
I’ll find you yet, while I search I’ll end this Spring!
Beware of his ways, he’ll tempt you, that fruit, a pomegranate.
If you take it forever will you be his bride.”

I rot away to become a corpse bride
wasting away like the land in Winter,
longing to taste those seeds from that pomegranate
my eyes lusting for a taste I hear; “Persephone
I am here to bring you back, along with Spring.”
Reaching out I take hold of the hand of Hades

Again an offer given by Hades
He gives me freedom to Spring
If only I eat of that Pomegranate…
