@Icarus inktoner/drawtober/31witches all went good, I didn't miss a day but I came close, phew. It wasn't always my best work though since I was doing everything between commissions and other stuff buy my inking improved and the promost were super fun! I might do it again next year. I'm also doing draecember too. ^,^ just got today's up and thinking of doing a SELFIE piece for tomorrows. Just can't decide what medium I'll end up using. And I bet you can do it ^,^ even if it's just a sketch try to keep up, nothing feels as good as finishing the event. Where are you posting though? I'd love to follow and see your work.

Coool... We have snow and lights! How festive.
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and Safe Black Friday if you celebrate that stuff... Or fear it depending on where you are in the world *shudders at the videos of black friday*
Its not guild related but i'd hate to leave my guildies out. Im running two giveaways. One on my twitter, one on my facebook business page. Both are independent and both will have winners picked on the 1st. The prize for each is a free chibi of you or your character (or a similar priced commission). Both post are pinned at the top so their easy to find.
Links below, happy holidays I have to get back to work! ^.^

Oh lord, another person with the cookbook... Does your family also groan when you pull it out? Hah, I kid. Glad to hear it was good. ^.^ -
Oh my feet.. I stood for 7 hours straight drawing and did not wear sensible shoes... I dont care if you do it everyday, I havent done anything like that since April so shh and let me whine a little... xD
Today I spent my 7 hours greeting vistors, trying to explain what digital art was to people in their 70s (This week I have all my equipment and a spare PC at a local business... I am a "Live Artist Working for Tips" no really, that is what they called me x.x), and trying to pawn my prints and merchandise off on people... Many business cards were taken for the "Cute puppy." I drew 8 different fully colored, lined, and shaded chibis... I finished a digital painting, and started sketching out Drakea to work on tomorrow in all her engineering glory.
And it starts again tomorrow... And all the way to Friday.. Then every Thursday and Friday till 2018 in multiple mediums. I suppose if you have to work anyway its not a bad way to make extra off tips but the locals are so stingy >>; Quick to take a freebie and ask if they can have a clearly priced item though.. "Everything is $10" somehow got translated to "Ask nicely and i'll give it to you, but if I dont throw a fit and THEN i'll give it to you!" This wasnt even kids doing this.. x.x; Here's hoping tomorrow has more sane or reasonable people!

Izzy's Prize, the Full Body Commission
Finoa posted a gallery image in Artist Corner's Add your Art!
From the album: Finoa's Art (Digital and traditional)
As many of you noticed, I offered 5 prizes during the Charity Drive since Sal and I wanted to help but we had no spare cash to give. So I decided i'd donate my time with the one thing I do well. ^.^ There was a full body, a bust, and three chibis up for grabs. Any donation could win a chibi (that way those who could only throw in a few bucks had a chance at something!) and then higher amounts for the others (for privacy, I wont mention those amounts ;3 Its their call if you know how much they gave!) I hope in the future I can offer more rewards for our members because it is quite fun and I enjoy making pieces based on other peoples characters. ^.^ Which is why I decided i'd take the chance to do this for a living... xD I have one more prize to go, then i'll be back to doing my usual stuff between commissions. If anyone decides to run another contest/charity thing, I dont mind donating my time with free or cheap art for the guild or a good cause. Im happy to be in a community that sees fit to run things like charity drives. -
I spammed in some pictures because I had some freetime.. Im sowwy.. ^.^; Im between commissions and wont be doing my art shows till next week.
Next week i'll be doing Daily Art Shows for the local museum... Then the local artist showcase is Thursday... Then I have to set up another booth Friday...
The week after i'll be doing hour long shows twice a week till the end of the year... To those wondering, Sal and i will also be getting married at the end of December... ^.^; (Sal, not Saal..
That fuzzy DK that rarely speaks... That one. He likes to make puns... We've had that confusion... ) But being gamers, our honeymoon will probably involve WoW or him screaming as I make him play FNAFs or PT demo... Why? Because I love his horror. Its adorable and im actually quite evil.
That being said, im going to try and get my last two prizes done tomorrow or this weekend. I hope to do the Friday Leveling with friends in WoW with all of you this time.. ^.^; And if im lucky, I can do the casual raid this weekend again. I
Over all, I hope to just be more active on both the forums and in game within the next few weeks.
On a side note, if any of you like my style and would like to see a certain NPC or something in any medium, please let me know. I need ideas for my art shows because next week will be 5-8 hours each day. I'll be doing digital, acrylic, Ink, Watercolor, and Marker for sure. I might branch over and work in some oil paints, charcol, and pastels since the museum is offering to let me poke at their inventory since im doing this for tips. ^.^ I will work on commissions and custom ornament, mug, and pendant orders as well im sure.
For lack of better terms, im setting up a office in the middle of a museum so people can see what a artist does and hopefully drop a few tips in a jar and take my business cards.. xD The one up side to my unemployment is I can really donate a lot of time to my local museum.
Thank you!

Here's another of the finished prizes. It was approved and for a time was her avatar. ^.^; She was a awesome painter too, we were messaging back and forth awhile. -
From the album: Finoa's Art (Digital and traditional)
This was one of the prizes I owed! Since A few have been received and approved, I figured i'd start posting some of them. He wanted his tank done.. I've never made such a well built chibi.. :P -

My draenei Elve is a mascot for my blog... And somewhere along the way she became a cosplayer.. xD I have done her in more costumes then I care to admit... Im a geek. This one was based heavily on the original Harley Quinn look. -

From the album: Finoa's Art (Digital and traditional)
Done in Acrylic. This painting is a blue tick puppy named Gus. My old man caught a picture of him sleeping between his boots like this and hired me to do a painting with the request I make it look more "Rustic" So I changed a ugly carpet to a fading painted porch (Painting your wooden porch is a thing in the South if you dont know... It looks nice for a year then it starts looking worn down and flaky... They are also super slick.. I dont suggest doing it.. Not unless you wanna paint it often or have a area rug from the steps to the door cause foot track wears them down fast). I wish I could say I made the boots look dirty and scuffed up... But yah... Those boots look just like that. They were already scuffed up and covered in the red clay we have for dirt in the area. The picture and painting matched pretty damn well so I was super happy. You can tell its a painting but it looks just like the picture and the old man was super excited. Im actually going to display it at a local art show Nov 16 at the BB Comer Museum. If you live around here and wanna drop by, its free food, tons of local artist have stuff in. Just ask for "the girl that did the digital art over yonder" or the "Puppy and boots painting" Or just "The other Linda" (There are three of us.. The last director, the current director assistant, and then me. I always just say im the "Other Linda" because the first one is the "Last Linda"... xD It gets confusing fast. Not a common name, that place attracts the Linda's!) I also have several prints for sell, two digital pieces on display, and one of my watercolors will be raffled off with all of the money going to the museum. Either way, make sure you say hi to me and Sal. ^.^ If you like this painting, I have 20 prints made to sell at $10 each plus shipping. It will be a limited edition because it was a commission and because the commissioner would like to keep the piece itself rare to increase the value of his. Print 1/20 has already sold. xD -

Since im mostly finished with the Chibi Prizes, I figured i'd do a little shameful promoting. ;3 Out side of sketches, chibis are the cheapest things I offer and they are adorable and make good gifts! Traditional cost the same and can be done in watercolor, ink, or marker on a 3.5x3.5 cardstock that can be mailed for about a buck in the US if you wanted a gift to give. I can do characters, pets/friends/family/you, or fan art. :3 My cartoons are about the same, they are slightly more realistic looking feature wise, similar to the Navilas one I did. If you are interested, you can message me with questions. :) -
Nightmare before Christmas Chair for "Chair-ty"
Finoa posted a gallery image in Artist Corner's Add your Art!
From the album: Finoa's Art (Digital and traditional)
This was my favorite chair to do, really... I loved it. I was doing real paintings all over the chair with different scenes and decor. It was super fun to work on. Sadly it didnt get to go to Auction. A friend of mine came in and bought it straight out before the auction after I posted a few updates on my instagram. Im told a few others attempted to do the same while a couple messaged me directly asking to buy it from me personally... Which lead to me doing a massive 200 pound wardrobe in Nightmare before Christmas theme... So this one was bought for $50 the day after I bought it. The same person went back and bought my Auburn chair as well so at least the museum made some good cash off free labor. And I ended up with a weeks worth of pay to work on a wardrobe I can fit.... Being that im no thin or tiny girl, that was surprising. Made working on the skellington in the closet a lot easier though. -

The second chair I did of the three... I was the first to agree to do this but they got 12 Alabama Team chairs... (surprisingly only I did the Auburn one) But they are still trying to sell this and one other Alabama team chair.. If anyone likes Alabama and lives in Talladega or near by its only $50 and all profit goes to the local Museum. -
From the album: Finoa's Art (Digital and traditional)
When I first joined I was working on these for a local charity event and had a few people interested in guild. This is 1 of the three. It sold for $70. -
Oh hey, I won the day? Okay.. xD Soo... I came back... After a time of not being here or only poking in to talk to those I owed prizes to... (Busy with Inktober, Drawtober, Booth, Commissions, Prizes, looking for work.. ect... ) Needless to say, last time I really poked the forums (which wasnt much) was when Clubs was started and there was this whole thing on if clubs were good and bad that I think turned into the issue being closed or private clubs... Now its elections or something...? o.o I am a new member.. My main interaction ingame was with the WoW division and my time on the forums has mostly just been me posting art, pictures of pets, and cracking a few jokes... But I gotta say, the drama that popped out of no where... I really hope that isnt a normal thing.. o.O
On a personal note, I have 2/5 prizes done, I am working on the others, I promise... I hope to get them all done before the next Friday now that inktober/drawtober is over I can focus more on the prizes and commissions again.
I also will be in a art show this month and running a few booths in December. ^.^ But once I catch up on commissions and finish atleast one or two of the prizes I plan to run a few giveaways on my twitter and instagram for followers if anyone is interested.
If any other artist are on those platforms, i'd love if you let me know, I like to follow and support fellow artist on my art accounts... Because that makes sense... And I like having pretty pictures in my feed. -

One side my first persona KiritaWindwalker as a witch and the other my new persona Southern Belle the chibi. I used this for my booth in October and gave out small free prints of the two, they were very popular and got tons of interest. Both Digital. I have speed paints for both on my YouTube. I actually live streamed the chibi side! -

My current Sig and my 110 in RoH WoW side. She is a Guardian druid and the armor was a recolor of her current transmog.. The deep red looked better then the black and purple mixture. Digital... There is a speedpaint on my YouTube if you'd like to see me working on it. -
