I HAVE been working on something lately, I've just been working extra hours to go see my buddies and on vacation.

With extra work, I need more time to cool off, and that's why I've not been uploading much lately.  At any rate, here's a preview of what I've been working on:

Hopefully the few followers I still have won't feel so bad about my inactivity with this little bit.  I have been doodling at work and on my phone a little.  Got a couple of nice things, and some 'meh':
Here are some of those:

That's what I have so far.
I have way more in my brainmind thingy... I've just yet to type them up.  Also, I know the descriptions are blank.  To that I also say, give me time.

I know it isn't much, but It's something.  I'll update you guys when I add more.

My birthday is this Sunday (the 24th), and I'd like to see some adorable and/or sexy chibis.  

Digital, Traditional, Sketch, Uncolored, Colored.  All of these are applicable.

Prize is $25 via Paypal OR 2000 dA points.

All entries will be featured here.  And if nobody enters, no skin of my nose.
They DO NOT have to be my characters, but it doesn't hurt :3
GO!

Brushsketch Special.

Note me refs.
I only accept PayPal.
Work slows me down.

1. (paid: preview shown, unfinished)
2.  (paid: not started)

By simple,  I mean SIMPLE.   Nobody's characters (other than mine) or anything, because that would slow things down because I use the 3 minutes to do everything, no pausing to look at refs or anything.

Do not expect anything amazing even if I do use your idea/theme.  3 Minutes isn't as long as you might think.

Example of Results:


I'm hoping to improve on my speed and ability to come up with things creatively on demand.

Themes like :
Hands
Slime
Lips
Perspectives
Etc.

*sigh* Oh my God, I can't believe I forgot her birthday again!  Just had to work, and things happen...  Bouip just turned seven years old! WOW!

Prices:

One Character:
$10 Digital "Brush" Sketch (Examples: [link] / [link]

NOTE ME with information and at least 2 reference images.

I also ask that you please be patient, as work eats a lot of my time, and I can be tired when I get home. I could be done within a day of payment, or a week.

I CAN NEVER decide how to draw arms when I'm doodling.  If the character's holding something, that's easy.   But if they've got nothing in their hands... The arms on my mental image just flail around like noodles.  It always gravitates towards either "Arm up, either scratching head or just doing that generic "here's my armpit" pose".... or "Hand on hip" "Folded arms" something like that.

At any rate.  I could use some help on this subject... and I know there are plenty of models and stuff doing poses that aren't THESE.  but still...  I suck at arms.

There's nothing special inside yet... so I'll prolly make another later once i've got her furnished. :3

I've been really swamped at work as of late...  T_T Kinda my excuse for everything art-related...  I've also been playing PC Minecraft and Dead or Alive 5...  Both Awesome, Also picked up One Piece Kaizoku Musou...  Haven't played it as much, but I'm working on it.

It seems every time I have an urge to draw, I'm busy with something else...  and contrarily, Every time I'm drawing, I get urges to do something else.

It's not that I don't wanna draw... Heck, I've barely even shown off my new shading technique skillz... (only doing 4 total images with said technique. 2 with Bouip... >.<)  I have been preparing for the Christmas Card, because last year, I wasn't fully ready on-time, and barely got them out to everyone.  I wanna be finished at least 50% by Thanksgiving.  Design work is always the most drawn-out (no pun intended)  and once I've got all of the costumes designed and the background figured up,  It's all just a matter of putting everything together in an interesting way for everyone.
I'm thinking of selling prints (cheap!) this year, if I make it in time.

Stay tuned to the end for a sweet treat. ^_^ [link]

Eh... I still have 2800 points.  I think I'll just wait til something new comes to me.  Thanks for those who took me up on my offer. ^_^

Put a lot of thought into the theme music for my characters. All from existing music from various artists.
This would be a good soundtrack to play when you're doing fanart of them or something.
This list is going to be updated eventually.  I hope you will all enjoy ^_^

My new Ask Bouip sketchblog is now open: (ecchi titty pee) askbouip (dot) tumblr (period) com

Ask her a question and you may just get an answer ^_^.   Don't expect to see a ton of answers to questions right away...  I'm kinda busy with work and whatnot, so I'll do this as I can.  

Non-anonymous questions have higher probability to be answered.

AND PLEASE... JUST ONE AT A TIME!  You may ask another question whether I answer your first or not... at least let me know who the question is from... Having a tumblr name helps this along... And put some time between your questions.

So thanks, and good day!


I don't post the link directly, as I don't know what the future may hold for this blog... if I wind up drawing something dA don't like eventually or someshit like that

Today, I've become a quarter!

Check them out! ^_^

GET ONE ASAP.
That is all.

I forgot to write the journal yesterday ^_^;;  I'm a couple hours late.  

Happy 6th Birthday, Bouip!

We all love you! ^_^

Look it up:

Family Guy creator's non-comedy Sinatra style album.

"Music is Better than Words" - Seth Macfarlane

If you enjoy good music,  take a listen to it.  ^_^

I always knew he was an amazing singer, but his album is surprisingly nice.
