Omg I did a thing and stuff moved on it

Ohmygod blog, I have got to stay on you.


EXCUSES, GUYS
For the past 3 months, I've been working on a comic project with some fine peeps that we're pitching soon, so there will be sneakpeaks of THAT. It has cats, internet. ..Kind of your wheelhouse.

I was also helping out with layout biz for a senior animated film, which premiered at the SCAD Senior Showcase this past Thursday night. The film turned out glorious and I will divulge specific info about it! ..Once I am positive that that's even okay. Yes.

Most of the layouts traded artists before completion to ensure everything was congruous together, so this guy was handed off and cleaned up before it appeared in the film.


And the moral of this story is-
I learned that digital layout painting is.. not.. my destiny. But I DID IT DAMN YOU
Those trees and rocks on the right are.. slop. But it is my slop.

FIRST POSTTT, life is happening.

HI INTERENT.
I don't think I've typed in an online journal-like device since the livejournal days of highschool. ohhh livejournal. I don't really know how to start a PROFESSIONAL ARTIST blog. I was anxious of this moment. But then I told myself, let's be real, I am lounging in this as I type:


PROFESSIONAL ARTIST etiquette GO
I'm not too worried about it.
Check out my DeviantArt, KaiKoa.deviantart.com, to see older stuff. I'll start off now with some recent things, but I'll mostly use this blog as extra motivation to churn out new stuff everyday.
I might also talk waay too much. Feel free to gloss it all over and go straight for the pictures. I won't hate.


So, anyone who knows me for 15 minutes knows that if I could replace my menial hostess job with the menial drawing of Pokemon for DOLLA on the fandom machine that is DeviantArt, I would basically have twice as regular nerdgasms and spend free time rolling around in the 5 dollar bills of nostalgic twenty-somethings.

But DeviantArt has informed me as of late that unless whatever you are posting is currently blowing up in the world of romantic/sexy/teen fan-fiction and fan-art, you are NOT ON TRACK for the dolla.
My recent attempt at digital painting featuring Artemis from Young Justice taught me this grim truth. Because unfortunately for my second (and better, IMO) experiment with digital colors, despite being equally green and surly, Venusaur is NOT a teenager. It does not have romantic/sexual tension with Kid Flash and a conventionally fabulous ass. So Venusaur may forever live in Artemis' bodacious teenage shadow.
It will never be D.A. Famous.
It's plight is tragic.
Its story of oppression lives on.

(PS -Thank you everyone that loves my Artemis! I'm not actually hatin'. The only reason I can tell woeful Venusaur stories of unpopularity is because I have the DA success of Artemis to measure it by. And I only poke fun at the fandom universe because I am more immersed in it than I am going to admit on this PROFESSIONAL ARTIST blog. *thumbs up*)
