    Requests

    By Nyxnine,

    I really want to do this art challenge that has been circulating on Instagram. However, my Instagram won't connect to my phone to upload =_= I tried re-dling the app and finally just messaged them. 
    Anyways, if anyone wants to suggest characters that would be awesome

    Strange Times

    By Nyxnine,

    Definitely feeling weird with how things are going right now. Looking forward to some more normalcy here hopefully soon.
    Its also been such a busy week, I feel out of the loop. Out of the life loop haha. 
    I hope everyone is doing alright and taking care of themselves. Take this time to re-eval life  
     
    Here's a creepy cat dog thing to add to this strange day.

    Bibliophile

    By Nyxnine,

    I love LOVE reading!
    Personally, I've always been a physical copy type of girl and rather not get a digital copy/e-reader. AND, I will buy books I love however, I do have a library card because... that **** is expensive....(I'd be broke with all the books I'd want to buy lol). When I was younger I had lived in Vancouver for a solid two years after that I wanted to move back home and needed to lug all of my books back with me. I never realized how much I loved reading until I had 3 suitcases of books and a duffel bag of clothing. *Priorities*
    I don't mind audio books, they're usually my go to when I can't sleep or have a long drive ahead of me....can't...use my hands ^^;
    When I was in University, I always felt a little like Hermione from Harry Potter, as I would usually be done most of my textbooks before the course truly started. I am a fairly fast reader and like to have a varied selection of books on the go. 
    I can be a slightly annoying person when I get into a good book - my sister used to get angry at me as I would usually ignore everything around me until I was completed a story. Basically, I'm really good at ignoring the world around me when I have my nose in a good article or story. 
    I'm always inspired by the authors of novels and how much research that must go into their work. I mean to create such captivating stories you must know a decent amount of a topic to be able to describe places, situations and actions. For example, you can't write a believable story about a climber if you know nothing about climbing, or it would be a pretty empty story line with no body. I always thought it would be such a fascinating job to become a writer because it gives you an outlet to learn as much as you can and share that knowledge in a variety of ways, although, I have always felt a disconnect from idea to paper. Those who are creative enough to come up with an idea and then bring that idea to fruition - you're amazing in my eyes and I thank you everyday. 
    Here's a short list of some books I've read this past year - keep in mind, I read almost everything haha so it might not be up your alley
    (no particular order)
    - An Invisible Library (by Genevieve Cogman) "Series"
    - Deadly Outbreaks (by Alexandra Levitt)
    - The Memory Illusion (by Julia Shaw) (really neat book, read if you like to learn about memory in the use of crime, and whether or not its possible to implant memories on people)
    - Sleeping Beauties (by Stephen King)
    - Death by Video Games (by Simon Parkin)
    - The Rules of Magic (by Alice Hoffman)
    - The Bone Season (by Samantha Shannon) "Series" Mime order 
    - How Can I help? A Week in My Life as A Psychiatrist (by David Goldbloom)
    - The View from the cheap seats (by Neil Gaiman)
    - The Night Circus (by Erin Morgenstern)
    - The Goldfinch (by Donna Tartt)
    - An Orchestra of Minorities (by Chigozie Obioma)
    - Lost Connections (by Johann Hari)
    - Sapiens (by Yuval Harari)
     
    General Recommendations:
    - Margaret Atwood is my favorite author .....so anything? haha
    - Haruki Murakami another fav auth (start with 1Q84)
    I also really enjoy poetry authors I would recommend (and are probably already known)
    - Rupi Kaur
    - B. Abbott (I have High Poet Society, but he has two books now I think?)
    - Lang Leav
    - John Donne 
    Anyways, maybe I'll add more posts about books :3 
    I feel like, getting to know a person's reading list, really lets you get to know the person. 
     
    And of course, here's a pic I am currently working on

    A Start

    By Nyxnine,

    I suppose, I should make an actual art post considering this is all new haha.
    Lets start with a picture I drew of a co-worker. She was sad one day because she didn't like her nose. I was a bit flabbergasted as I feel this person is beautiful inside and out....and so, I drew her lol
    Got to love inspiration no matter where it comes from. 
    Now this one started as a sketch (just pencil) I have this sketch if anyone wants to see it haha... colored it after with some copics, and then did some edits on my phone. It is by no means exciting, quality isn't amazing....but it made my friend's day so who cares? ^.-
     
    My friend loves astronomy
    I tend to do a lot of mixed media in my work ^^;

    Why?

    By Nyxnine,

    I won't lie, I posted the Toilet paper feed because I started feeling sick 2 days ago XD
    Stupid vacation =-= Its like my body knows I won't be busy...bittersweet luck haha.
    I'm playing league of legends and watching Castlevania season 3 on Netflix ...I'm not sure if I like this show yet but, I've been watching to many emotional shows that make me tear up haha so its a nice change... I'm too sensitive   
    Here's a Riven picture I drew though ^___________^-

    Processing

    By Nyxnine,

    I'm currently home with a cold =3= just going through more of my past pictures to post and watching Mia Maples on Youtube, because her mom and daughter videos are cute and funny.
     
     
    These pastel works are older, I haven't really tried pasteling in awhile....but I have some velour paper I use to color on, and some rough drafts for the picture itself.
    This is a kinkajous and panda.. what are some animals you love?
     
    Pastelling is really forgiving, I like to use oil pastels because it looks almost like paint when its complete. You have more control over your colors and blending is very easy and there is no drying time needed. You do have to be careful with the paper because you don't want to indent it and create crease lines. You can also use pencil crayons for details like hair/fur/whiskers/eyes...(pencil crayons like prismacolor). 
    Anyways enjoy the video haha

    Villains

    By Nyxnine,

    This was the start of a birthday gift for another friend. She is a Power Rangers fanatic.
    We always talk about our childhood memories of Power Rangers...she would go visit her grandad he would watch PR with her and discuss epic ninja battles (He was into martial arts movies in general).
    And I......was not allowed to watch it because it was deemed to violent. (SO SILLY)
    She loves villains hence Scorpina. 
    Reference and sketch - I do not have the colored picture =-= I'm bad at photographing all my work afterwards haha
    Who do you usually fall for in a show? Villain or Hero?

    Essentials

    By Nyxnine,

    I figured it would be important to introduce this blog before I actually just go forth and post. Although, how essential is an actual intro when you aren't really sure what you'll be posting? 
    Yes, there will be random posts of artwork. Yes, I will probably vent some frustrations when dealing with a piece. I assume, I will probably leave some insight as to what has worked for me during a piece or not. IF that ever comes up (and that is totally dependent on whether or not I post more than sketches).
    I suppose, it would be up to you - the reader, as to where this should go. 
    Please let me know if a work interests you, if you're curious how it was done, if you would like to know my process, if you have any questions about products I use, how I use them, and or any general statements. 
    Art critics are welcome, will it be acknowledged? Maybe, maybe not every time, but I will read it nonetheless ^^v
    If this doesn't go anywhere and I ghost you all. Please forgive me.
