Apologies for the absence last week. I figured that Destructoid's downtime would last a lot longer than it did, but while I was off playing videogames and figuring, "No one's on Dtoid right now!", people were on Dtoid right then. So let's just go ahead and light this candle.
You might have seen Togail's
mindblowingly amazing drawing of a Night Elf earlier this week. He is looking to offer custom illustrations of WoW characters through his company. In addition to his style, I drew the same 'toon to give a second option; WoW characters drawn in my much more simplistic and cute style. The following is my interpretation of the same Blood Elf hunter.
Next is another piece I did for a Raven Harbor client. She wanted a cute, nerdy tattoo in my cute style. I was given a lot of creative freedom with this, and was having a little trouble focusing my direction. Then I saw Mikey's
Tanooki Suit Mario and became inspired! I doodled a very serene Tanooki Mario of my own, and surrounded him with all of the other items of power in
Mario 3's world. Yeah, I know I'm missing the P Wing, but I drew all the other items first and couldn't squeeze it in. Ah well. The client was very happy with the outcome, and hopefully, I'll get an update when she has the ink done.
I did this small, cute portrait for
Molotov Cupcake, who is going to use it as a profile image on
Spawn Kill one of these days. She's also currently using it as her Twitter avatar. :D
Lastly, here is the painting that I made for
pixelpunx's wife (which is today!) as a birthday gift. It is a portrait of their two rabbits, Beatrice (the large white rabbit who has a mohawk) and Jean-Claude (the little brown guy). I really liked how it turned out, and reportedly, the wife was majorly happy with the gift. :) Hooray!
That's all for this week, but I will leave you with a question. I'm looking to get into
Munny customization, and I want to make some videogame characters out of them. Who would you want to see Munny-ized? My first project is already underway, so hopefully it'll turn out as great as I think it will and you'll see it here soon!
Heh, I saw the second to last one on Twitter, and guessed that it was your work :) Amazing, as always! (Gotta love Tanooki :3)
im going to keep that raccon for a future twitter avatar if you don't mind, it's just awesome =B
@Danzflor: I don't mind at all! I'm flattered! :)
Oh wow, I wanna awesome twitter avatar like that! She is so lucky
Aww - again great stuff! The Tanooki Mario is my favorite :)
@Tdiddy9182: Would you want it to be of you or Teddie? :D
AMAZING.
This stuff is fantastic! A Faith(mirror's edge) or Mike Hagar Munny could be really cool.
What Jimbo said, also anyway I can get a cool picture ?
That Tanooki Mario belongs on a wall tapestry in a monastery's meditation room or something. I'm convinced that the path to enlightenment is in that thing SOMEplace.
@FalconReaper: Sure! Tell me what you want here or you can email me the details.
@BulletMagnet: To reach Nirvana is to climb in a raccoon suit and waggle your tail.
@Ashley and Bullet - What is the sound of 1-up clapping?
@Ashly
Did you get that e-mail? I wanted to commission some art.

That is all.:)
You, madam, are badass as usual. Keep it up!
I honestly haven't played WoW in a while, but is that blood elf holding a bone...sword...gun? Coolest weapon ever. I still can't look away from Ms. Cupcake's portrait, I have such a soft spot for those "innocent look" pieces.
Also, this is probably because I've been checking out Fat Princess a bit too much lately, but seeing a Munny version of one of the playable classes in that game would be an interesting idea.
Cute artstyle. It makes me feel all mushy, and I'm a heartless bastard.
Also, make Tdiddy's picture of Teddie so I can Stea-I mean admire from afar and definitely not steal it.
>.>
<.<
I want Tanooki suit pajamas. With a tail.
Great work!
Awesome! The night elf is really cute!
Awesomeawesomeawesome.
Though I am sad there are only four pieces this week. Prior weeks have spoiled me.
The upside is, this makes me suspicious that Ashley is working on something SUPER HUGE AND AWESOME that we aren't privy to yet.
Suspicious and giddy!
Cute! Any FF8 characters in the works?
@Zodiac Eclipse: I could do that sooner or later. :)
Thanks again!
Thanks so much! I love my Twitter picture, and you did such an amazing job! When we get our new sidebar up I'll be using this avatar for sure. ^___^ You rock!
@pixelpunx and Molotov Cupcake: It was my pleasure!
hmmm. Munny customization....
I don't know why, I'd love to see a Hatsworth.
TANOOKI MUNNY!
love yr work as always.
