Otakon Artist Alley Map Announced!


I was just asked about my placement in artist alley yesterday and I just got the email today!

If you're attending this year's Otakon in Baltimore be sure to stop by my table to say hi! I'm really excited to be selling at Otakon's Artist Alley again, and I'm thinking about applying for more cons in the future. Any suggestions?

Outer Scout Weapons WIP

Why do the outer scouts have such lame transformation wands? Since I really hate how their wands look, but they are my favorite scouts, I have to represent them somehow. So, I decided to make Uranus and Neptune's weapons instead. I might make Pluto and Saturn after Otakon, but their weapons are too complicated and long for me to turn into stickers right now.

Sorry, I thought you were cheese...

Charlotte pin is all done and available in my etsy shop!

Charlotte's crazy snake-like form is my favorite! I've mentioned this before, but I like the multi-colored eyes remind me of Sid & Marty Krofft . It's creepy, but cute, and there is this psychedelic drug-trippy quality to the witch scenes that reminds of the Krofft's old live action puppet shows.

The Stickers Finally Arrived!

I ordered stickers from two different companies to see how the quality and services compare, so once I get my second order of stickers from my other source I plan on making a video comparing the two.

For now I am really happy with the first batch that arrived.

Stuff I do at work

I don't just make Sailor Moon Stuff ya' know..
A local Rock & Roll Memorabilia and Merchandiser wanted a new shirt for their employees and customers, so these are a few options I whipped up for them at work today.

They ended up going with a variation of the first shirt in the top row, with white ink on a purple shirt, but I preferred the 3rd shirt on the top row. (With a bit of tweaking of course.) I thought that design would look really cute distressed on a baseball style tee. (Where the sleeves are colored but the body is white.)

Star Power Makeup!


After file errors, and a lightning storm knocking out my power, I finally finished these transformation wands. I'll be making them into stickers later this week!

Also, the star wands are the cutest wands. The crystal uniforms are better, but the transformation wands look so chunky and silly. I might make them at one point, since I want to make Uranus and Neptune's especially, but the star wands look so much cooler.

Progress! Sort of...




So I started making the inner scouts' crystal transformation wands, and just as I finished Mars' when the program crashed. I had been periodically saving, so I wasn't too worried, but when I opened the file up it seems to have been backlogged somehow. All of the work that appeared says it was last saved on the 3rd, and I have saved and closed the file since then, so I'm not sure what happened.

I was able to finish Mars' wand, but only as a flat un-editable JPEG. See the finished work and my thoughts on the new Sailor Moon Crystal series under the cut.

Let the countdown begin!

Although I am worried that the 3D animation and lazy shading will leave me disappointed, I’m still excited! (Transparent.)
