Awesome drawing of me by Jack Maverick!

Hi! My name is Ashley. I like video games, and to write and draw. Sometimes I combine the three. I have a huge knowledge of video game trivia and pop culture trivia in general, and I like to overanalyze things both for fun and for your entertainment.

I also like ducks and koala cookies.

My favorite game genres are puzzles, platformers, and scrolling shooters. I also really enjoy Mario Kart. But I don't like to limit myself, so I'll give anything a go at least once.

Even though my first console was an NES, I grew up mostly on the Genesis. Much of my childhood was spent playing Sonic 2 multiplayer by myself. I would switch the controller after every round and play both characters evenly so that it would always end in a tie.

I am a little shy, so you may have to prod me, but I would love to be your newest friend!

Also, ducks - Duck is now living with a zookeeper in Alabama who can supply him with a bigger swimming area than a bathtub. He is in a better place, free of Zappers and laughing dogs.

Hey doods! Unfortunately, I don't have too much art to show you this week on account of a lot of exciting things that went on! I spent most of my time playing games, working on a painting for pixelpunx (which I will show off at a later time!), almost dying (see Podtoid for details), and getting hired on by the wonderful Togail's design studio, Raven Harbor! But I guess it's a good thing that I don't have so much stuff of my own to show off this week, because it gives me some room to display a few of the things I've received so far in exchange for my drawings!



First, here is the Lolo amigurumi that JusticeDude made me in exchange for the Jill/Morrigan drawing shown here last week. Let me tell you, he is absolutely amazing; he's very well made, and even stands up on his own, despite his roundness. I encourage everyone who loves cute things to check out the others he has made on his DeviantArt account. I'm sure he'll make you one too if you ask nicely!



Secondly, good 'ol Diverse sent me Mystical Ninja 64 out of the kindness of his heart (or willingness to learn my address, I'm not sure which), which I got in the mail the same day as Lolo. I have already lived my childhood dream of completing the game in its entirety. See, it was my favorite N64 game, but the only place I ever found it was in the rental store. So I would rent it nearly every weekend, and only ever got to play the beginning parts over and over because I didn't have a memory card. I still don't have one, but after keeping the N64 on for two days straight, I got to the end! I think I still love the game as much as I ever did. One of the best N64 games, in my opinion.



Okay, this one wasn't actually from anyone, but I wanted to show my Little King's Story preorder bonus off. This little guy is an Onii, possibly one of the cutest enemies to ever appear in a game. He is a stress reliever, but I can't stand to squeeze that precious little head. Oh, and Little King's Story is great as well.



Group shot of my new stuff sitting among my older accumulated crap. Lolo and Prinny are best friends!

Okay, now we can finally get to the art!



This piece is another commission from Bwark-Kupo. He wanted me to do something for a friend of his who is in the hospital; specifically, make him into Ephraim from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. So I did! I tried to make it as majestic as I possibly could. I'm especially proud of the horse, as I haven't drawn one in years, and they used to give me a lot of trouble.



Next, here is the samurai that Yojimbo has always wanted! He either fell asleep while meditating, or is vigilant enough to sleep halfway up. He'll snap awake and to his feet when the time calls for it, I'm sure!



Lastly, here is another K.K. Slider album cover. Yes, I like K.K. a lot... what of it?

I promise I'll have more done next week! :< But I hope you enjoy what's here now.

Samurai Yoj1mbo is awesome.
Wow... JusticeDude's Lolo is so cute!!

... and the sleeping Samurai is adorable!
Wonderful. :)
You'd think Nintendo would've released the KK Slider songs as a CD box set or something. They love money!
I've always wanted personal art :(

How about GIR from Invader Zim.
QUICK.

Someone steal the samurai's beer before he wakes up!
What I find lame is that I actually had two or three drawing planned for this week, but family business got in the way and I've been busy. So busy, that I don't even had a sketch prepared for any of them yet. I really hope to get one done before August rolls around. :[

JusticeDude has a really good hand in amigurumi, I'm very jealous. That samurai Jimbo is fantastic. And if liking K.K. too much is wrong, I'd rather not be right.
I love you!!

That samurai is beyond awesome.
How much is a comission? I wanna see more yuri, like last week. It's sooo cute.
JAWESOME

Also, I got that Little King's Story thing, too -- sent it to Colette, and she really seemed to like it! It's so cute.
That Ephraim is awesome, nice work!
the horse is awesome...I demand you do strictly horses from now on since you do it awesomely.

also I totally want that Prinny
I love that Goemon picture so much.
@Dyna Geek: I usually charge around $50, but I can work with whatever budget you have, or make trades! If you'd like me to draw something, let me know by email and I'll do my darnedest to get it made.
Congratulations on the design studio news!
These are all really amazing! The Samurai Yojimbo is probably my fav, but that's not to say the rest are really lacking! :)
Mystical Ninja is extremely amazing
Woop! Glad you got it. Also, I can't stand to squeeze my Onii toy too. I fear his horn will fall off. :(



AND PLEASE MAKE THAT KK RIPE PIC INTO A WALLPAPER! I would do anything for it, seriously. What other games do you want? ;p
fantastic. i love seeing art.
@Diverse: Hah! We have the same toys even. :)

I'll make K.K. into a wallpaper for free, just because I can't think of anything I want. Thanks again for the first game, even though you lied. ;)
Again, I want your stuff on my walls. I need to fill in the blank walls and your stuff is sooooooo awesome!
Foookin' brilliant.
I want stuff. Free. I got coupons.
ashley if you only drew kk art from now on i would still be excited for each and every art post!! i love kk!
Oh god. I really want a KK Slider album now. Thanks.
To properly honor the eternal rivalry of Yojimbo vs. Danmartigan, I demand a pipe-smoking-cat! If you fail, the terrorists (PS3 players) win!!
OMG that sleeping Samurai is more than awesome.
Sleeping Samurai is awesome!
Damm, that Y0jimbo pic is cool. I wish I could draw.... /sobs
Don't sweat liking K.K. Slider. The dude's a badass... I saw him tonight actually, 'cause I remembered his ass would be at the cafe (Wild World).
Holy shit, awesome art. Someone should request a Goemon piece... :D

Also, MN64 is my favourite game ever, so kudos from one rabid fan to another.
@Aurion: I might draw Goemon and his crew for fun next week. :) In addition to being in a great friggin' game, they have some of my favorite character designs!
congrats on the design firm! you've earned it.
also, I couldn't help but get stuck on the fact that I draw my speech bubbles the same way you did in the sleeping samurai pic. kind of neat.

finally, you've convinced my to dust off mystical ninja. though i too will have to leave the 64 running for a while.
@peachboy: I think giving speech bubbles long tails like that gives what's being said a lot more character. :)
I love K.K. Slider so much! Also Tom and Rover. I think your pictures of him are lovely!
OH GOD K.K. SLIDER IS THE BEST I LOVE IT. I really want a decal of that on my car.
@Ashley: Forgive me! My lie meant no harm. :p
D'awh ^_^
KK Slider is too awesome for words. Awesome drawings as usual.
I sure do look sexy upon that majestic horse.
