Welcome, 2023! + resolutions

January 1, 2023 Sammacha

Happy New Year!

As we say goodbye to the old year and welcome in the new, it’s a time for reflection and for looking forward. It’s time to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year and set new goals for the year ahead.

This past year had its challenges, (many) but it has also brought us new opportunities and moments of joy. Let’s take a moment to be grateful for all the good things in our lives and to appreciate the people who have supported us.

As we enter the new year, let’s make a resolution to be the best versions of ourselves. Let’s make a commitment to be kind and compassionate, to work hard, and to never give up on our dreams.

This year, one of my largest tasks is that I am working towards decluttering my things. It’s a way to start the year fresh and create a more organized and peaceful living environment.

Decluttering can seem like a daunting task, but it’s actually quite simple. Start by going through each room of your home and getting rid of anything that you no longer need or use. This can include clothes that no longer fit, old electronics, and clutter that has accumulated over the years.

Decluttering helps to create a more visually appealing and functional space, but it can also have a positive impact on your mental health. A cluttered space can be overwhelming while a decluttered space can promote a sense of calm and control.

If you’re looking for a resolution that will make a big impact on your life, consider decluttering a space. It may take some effort, but the end result will be worth it

If you have been following my artwork then you might know I am also focusing on more traditional pencil artwork.

There is a certain joy and satisfaction that comes with creating traditional pencil artwork. Whether you are an experienced artist or just starting out, the process of creating a piece of art with pencils can be a fulfilling and enjoyable experience.

One of the great things about pencil artwork is the versatility and range of styles that can be achieved. From detailed, realistic drawings to more loose and expressive pieces, pencils allow for a wide range of techniques and styles.

Another joy of creating traditional pencil artwork is the sense of accomplishment that comes with completing a piece. The process of taking a blank piece of paper and turning it into a finished work of art can be very rewarding, and seeing the finished product can be a source of pride and satisfaction.

Additionally, creating traditional pencil artwork can be a great way to relax and unwind. The act of drawing can help to clear the mind and provide a sense of calm.

Overall, the joy of creating traditional pencil artwork lies in the process of creation. You will get a sense of accomplishment and relaxation.

Here’s to a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year for all! Wishing you all the best in the year ahead. Good luck with your own resolutions!

Anthropomorphic Characters

Gallery June 8, 2016 Sammacha

Creatures with human characteristics –

Anthropomorphic characters are fictional creatures or animals. These characters often retain their animal or creature-like appearance, but they stand upright, walk on two legs, and have hands and feet similar to humans. They also wear clothes, use tools, and display human-like behaviors, such as expressing love, anger, and humor. They blur the line between human and animal, creating a unique and imaginative world where anything is possible. They inspire creativity, empathy, and a deeper understanding of the world around us.

I cant believe someone did this

January 12, 2015 Sammacha

Well…
If this was already unlucky with the
Flooding that destroyed laminate flooring and ARTWORK! Omg!
And the frequent power outs for the first time in 10 years
But someone decided to break into our house the other day.

No, no nothing got stolen. I was home! It was not a good feeling at all.
At first I thought my brother had fallen in the shower and woke me up but no, 2 more loud bangs and I yelled for him and ran to the door. My dad got there first and the guy bolted from the house
My brother ran outside with a hammer chasing the man while hoping to get a look at him. He chased him for a few blocks and then lost him as he wasn’t going to run through bushes without shoes (it was also raining).

So the door…
Now dented, frame broken and fence knocked over needs repair. Great.
Not to mention time to fix it. So much for doing anything planned, so much for sleeping in or going to bed early.
Also… I don’t really know how or enjoy fixing these kinds of things, but no choice. We need a door. *sigh

Thankfully my dad is good with figuring this kind of thing out. My brother is ok with it and so am I, but nobody wants to…
I hope its not expensive to repair and shit… Stores aren’t open right now.
Dad is trying to get the door to semi close and my bro it trying to tell the police where the guy went / describe the guy.

I feel… Sad, frustrated, pissed off…
I mean… Why? Its supposed to be the start of a new year and then this. Man I just… I dont know.
What an asshole…

I almost never blog things but you know? Sometimes its nice to get it out. I mean, I would probably write this in a diary if I didn’t have this. It would the one and only entry lmao. I still have so many diaries from my childhood that are new. People thought I wanted one but I hated writing. I still dont really like it, I prefer to draw if you didnt know :p
Anyways this has nothing to do with the break in anymore. I should probably start looking up some kind of how to and check out prices for whatever we need to repair. * sigh, again sigh.
I hope they catch him . . .

Published Artwork

May 4, 2014 Sammacha

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share some great news with you.

I have had my artwork published as the cover of an erotic novel! Anyways I was pretty excited about it, just another step into the world of artwork.

It was a very interesting image to create and I got to use my comic book style of colouring which I rarely have the opportunity to do anymore (at least not much digitally). I also had the opportunity to do some erotic artwork which I also don’t do as much anymore (but would like to). Anyways, I am sure that some of you are wondering what the book/ Image is right?

Just so you know, it doesn’t not contain any nudity and all is explained in teh description with a link to the novel.

For obvious reason I am not going to post the image here but

if you are over the Age of 18 Feel free to give this link a click!

Gothorita fusion

April 28, 2014 Sammacha

So, fusing a boy into a much more feminine looking pokemon does pose a few challenges. He becomes a bit awkward, less fragile and yet needs to posses some feminine qualities.

Gothorita is also the teen for I guess, (2nd evo)

So I tried to make it younger, and a little bit girly, but also at this point he is embarrassed (this is the first time that it has happened in Argols story (to be posted at a later date).

this is also my first Gijinka in years and its so much fun to go back to with a little bit of a challenge.

For this one I’ve created a pretty school girl like, Gothic Lolita dress. It matches the style and the colours of the pokemon and I think its looks pretty damn good.

You can even see the gothorita in the BG saying… hey… its ok.

But you will that later he gets used to this phenomenon.

Here is the pic, one with a glow and one without. I personally prefer the glow, but Argol did not so I’ve posted up both and you can decide fr yourself :3

Matt Gill

January 26, 2014 Sammacha

This one was a lot of fun.
It’s a portrait of my friend. Then I stuck him in this world based off a description of his name we found on urban dictionary on day at lunch.
I think Matt would make an interesting movie dont you?

The description: A mythical Irishman who was said to have destroyed Superman’s home when he first synthesized Krypton in chemistry. Standing about five feet tall, Matt Gill can fly, shoot lazer beans from his eyes, drink any amount of beer, and turn any frisbee he touches into straight, heat-seeking, side-winding, and lazer-guided missles until they reach their intended targets.

Matt Gill commonly insists that he hasn’t drank, as less than 99 beers off the wall doesn’t even count in his book.

Matt Gill is an Omnihero, and as such can outrun any superhero. He eats gold and pisses rainbows, allowing him to follow the Yellow, Orange, Red, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet River to more gold, in a vicious cycle. Leprechauns worship him as their savior and upholder of Irish traditions.

When Matt Gill threw a frisbee the length of half a football field against the wind, and abruptly appeared to catch it with his left hand while not looking for a touchdown.
Thank you Urban dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Matt%20Gill . you are always so fun to look at!

Throw in some gold, a leprechaun, and a rainbow with Matt and Bam it all comes together!

But that Damn hat, did it ever cause me problems lol.

Matt got this as a Christmas gift, but committed a Christmas violation and opened it before Dec even started. Thankfully he didn’t eat all the chocolate form his Advent calendar. Lol, poor Matt, I get to make fun of him in his special blog >:)

But I think its ok, He is also my favorite Ginger, even if he’s the only one I know 😛

The Blue Pansy butterfly – Pencil Art

January 26, 2014 Sammacha

Just testing out my pencils and paper, it was a good learning exp, plus Butterflies are not easy to draw! Damn mirror image XD
Good to work with such a rich colour on paper again 🙂

So basically I wanted a somewhat simple butterfly that had some stunning colors. There are some very interesting ones out there but I chose this one for the vibrant blue, purple and orange. It creates a great contrast and will be perfect for testing out the blending of the color son the paper.

The blue pansy butterfly is a very pretty one 🙂

To do a mirror image on paper, well its really quite a pain. I started by sketching out one side then scribbling reference lines all over it to try and get the correct proportions and angles on both sides.

When I was happy with that I moved onto a new pencil line art fixing up the details of the pattern within the wings. I ended up doing just one side to get a feel for where the colors went and how the pattern should look. (you can see them in the gallery below) In the end it came out a bit different then the ref but I think I like it.

Here was the complete butterfly line work that I came up with.

I was actually pretty happy with this piece, I got most of the shapes worked out.

I continued to do a quick graphite version, as I needed to test out the paper with both colors and graphite. ( I have never used this type of paper before). Actually it was not quick, it was pretty time consuming, what a pain to color a mirrored image even with the line work lol.

It went well but it was quite different then what I am used to. This paper holds the graphite very well and the blending doesn’t work the same for me.

The entire process can be seen below if you are interested. the entire… project, took a few days to complete over a course of I maybe 2 or 3 weeks as I didn’t work on it everyday. more of an on and off project in between, that thing called life.

enjoy

🙂
