Description I drew this butterfly dress sketch a long time ago with my character Zi, and decided I wanted to do it again while I had time to spare up here, ha~ Two more days until I can post commissions and other things, so not too much longer! =v=

For now, doing some conceptual sketches because I want to try writing AHT again.

I LOVE that dress. I would really want to wear something like that, it's so pretty.. I like the blue and yellow colours as well, and the way her hair swirls in the wind. I also really like that simple background it just adds a lot of depth to the drawing! Great job

Thank you so much! And so happy you like the design as well <3 I enjoyed drawing the design again and as I thought, redrawing it was lots of fun too <3 


And thank you very much!

I love the dress! The colours are great~

You're going to take another stab at it? Oh awesome Don't worry, writing is supposed to be fun, even if you are continually going over things ^_^ I've been writing on and off for seven years, and there's one story I'm STILL labouring over. The people in my writing group often have the same problem, so you're not alone! Just remember to have some fun with it ~

Thank you very much!

AHT is kind of a long term, feeble story because it's part of a much greater series that involves nearly seven other story ideas. They all take place in the same world, but writing them out in the order of their time is really, really difficult since it's hard finding inspiration for them at specific times But yes! I've been writing AHT since I was a little girl and although I keep telling myself that it'll be better for me to trash some of the more immature aspects of it, I just can't let go of them, which leads to a lot of writer's block about how to handle them in the future. Or how to make readers take them seriously, for that matter!

Ah jeez, I need to get into a writing group. I'm in a creative writing class every semester but I really just love workshopping with people. And best of luck with your writing too! I'm sure it'll turn out great, after all of that hard work you put into such a long-running project. 

And I'll try my best Thank you for the encouragement!

I think we get some of our best ideas as kids The tough work is to keep the spark of the idea and then build on it as you get older. You can do it! There's nothing wrong with working a little bit on one piece and then another~

Writing groups can be pretty motivating! Mine helped me get back into regular writing, along with my sister's help too of course. I am going to a writers/readers conference in Calgary tomorrow and I am SO STOKED to meet tons of other writers. Brandon Sanderson is going to be there ALSDIHFALSDHF

Keep up the good work!

I like the colours in this sketch, orange/yellow with purple and black works surprisingly well she's pretty

Thank you very much! ;D It's quite the surprising color combination. I never thought it would have worked originally, but I'm glad it did. It makes the inner design really pop out!

Its stunning! I couldn't imagine that your drawings looked
this colourful and 3d like without scanning them!

S-such a sweet compliment ;u; Thank you so much

Ah, I feel like they only look like that at an angle u @;; The scanner gets rid of a lot of the color and flattens things out most of the time~ But it makes everything look clean too :')
