Not to be all shameless-pluggy, but clicking this link will take you to my sketch’s post on my Facebook page where you’ll see a more detailed description. I’d appreciate it immensely if you left your feedback comments there. I want to go further with her, but first I’d like to hear your thoughts.♥

Heya! Just a sketch dump to show that I’m alive. It’s a hodgepodge of pony exploration, and an OC redesign in progress.

Tuesday (Sept. 4, 2012) was the first I have drawn any of my original characters in a LOOOOONG time. As in started drawing and happy with it. =D My first crew is in the process of being mentally redesigned, but here’s the first pass at Brian Maneson. I’m trying to make him look like how I’d image a teenaged lion to appear - mane’s just coming in, and looking a bit unruly. I’m also working on bringing more of his personality out, since my brain has finally decided to give him one.

This design’s not final, but I think it’s safe to say that I’m back in the game!

Finally decided to post a card that I made for my little cousin’s first birthday. Featuring two of my (many) original characters, it’s also the first time I used one of the methods in my bookmaking reference.

For more info, and images, please click either the photo or the link in the caption. =D Thank you!

Anansesem, a Caribbean children’s e-magazine, interviewed me over the weekend about my final year project and my efforts to fundraise for it! *giddy* Here’s the link to the interview!: Jamaican Illustration Student Takes Innovative Approach to Publishing.

Working on poster illustrations, starting with Ramesh, Here’s the base sketch, done in H pencil. I;ll be enhancing the details in B pencil. Once I’ve done this for all six characters, I will begin transferring.

Wish me luck!

Final Year Project Update!

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:03:12 -0500

Hey, peeps! The bookmark illustrations are finally coloured! All I need to do now is work out backgrounds for each character, but you can swing by my Langi Lala Studios Facebook Page to see what they look like thus far (or you can also click the following to lead to the last four illustrations I did). =D

Happy Friday, Tumblrkin! Now I’m off to sketch. ;)

Brand New Theme!

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 01:13:25 -0500

Until I get bored and/or finally have enough money to buy a premium one, because I really don’t have time to code one of my own. ^^;

WHOOHOO! Spring Cleaning OVER!

Fri, 17 Feb 2012 23:42:00 -0500

This blog is now 100% Langi Lala Studios Art only! aside from my messages, of course. =)

Once again, you can find my reblogging account over on Langi Inspirations. My art work? Right here in this little Tumblr space.

The next order of business is changing my theme to something more…professional, and conducive to an art Tumblr, I suppose. Feel free to message me with suggestions!

Edit: I’m keeping it on Minimalist, until I figure out which theme I like the most.

Spring Cleaning Almost Complete!

Fri, 17 Feb 2012 01:19:20 -0500

Heyas! So I’ve privatised all the non-my art posts on this Tumblr, and I’m in the process of transferring my followees to my alternate Tumblr - Langi Inspirations! So if you see me unfollowing you here, I don’t hate you. I’m just taking you over to another place. =)

To my followers, feel free to join me over there for art-and-ther related Tumblr shenanigans! See you!

Hey, peeps!

Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:28:56 -0500

After some serious thought, I’ve decided to make another Tumblr for my reblogging and following, and keep this one strictly for my personal art. My other personal Tumblr is Langi Inspirations, so feel free to follow me there for all the anatomical, art student owl, and pop culture related goodies that I used to reblog here. :D

Also, I’ve been transferring my following list over to Langi Inspirations as part of the cleaning process. If I unfollow you here, I’m following you over there. :D

Thank you!

Button Poll Part Deux

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:18:10 -0500

Hi, people! I’d like your help on an important decision regarding my character buttons.

Currently, the only sizes I can get done out here are 1.25”, and 2.25”. There was a company that does 1.5”, but their product was flimsy (yick!). So, I have a poll running to see which size you gentle folks would prefer. The poll is open until Feb. 24, 2012 @ midnight, so please get those votes in, and spread the word amongst your Tumblr kin! Thank you!

Btw, the art on the buttons is NOT final. Charlene will be getting a make-over next week.

I did some spur-of-the-moments spring cleaning this evening, and I dug up this little dude! It’s just an ink and brush idle doodle I did back in 2009, but I’m quite happy with it. :)

Hey, guys. Not long ago, I put a new blog post into Blogger’s oven, and it will be delivered fresh to you tomorrow (Monday) morning. Like the prior posts, it will be covering another aspect of my Final Year Project’s preparations (and what an interesting task that has turned out to be!). I need to rescue my domain name from Go Daddy, so I don’t have a website up and running yet. I want to, though. In the mean time, you can check me at the following e-places:

Thanks! =D
