I am a fan of many different forms of art. Drawing mainly, but also polymer clay, baking from time to time, and practicing my crappy piano playing.

An example of what I tend to make out of clay (which, polymer clay is not actually clay at all. It's simply plastic that you can shape, and all that crap. And then you bake it and TAA-DAA THINGS.) It's about the size of a large gumball, and I put a little loop thingy-ma-jig in there, so I may perhaps hang it somewhere/wear it (it's a Forretress, by the way). I mainly try and replicate food on a much smaller scale, though.

Food. Banana bread, specifically. Note the unrealistic butter pat. But I'm really happy with the color and overall shape of the bread.

A drawing of my cat. I don't usually draw animals, but I like how this came out.

Kain from FFIV. Probably one of my favorite drawings, bwahaha. Video game characters are my favorite things to draw.

HITLER SPHEAL. Don't ask me how I thought of it. And I somehow managed to finish it on Adolf Hitler's birthday last year ... without even realizing it was his birthday.

Incredible. Really, really nice work. I would say I have a favorite, but they're all so well done that I can't pick one out very easily... maybe Forretress, which looks unbelievably good for a clay sculpture the size of a gumball.

Daaayng. That Forretress and that bread are just amazing. 8O

Can you say awesome?

This has to be my hands-down favourite of yours, with Kain running a close second.

Say, did you happen to keep that Chuck Norris sketch?

Bwah, what a pleasant surprise to come home and check on here only to receive praise! *was not expecting it* Thank you. If anyone has any requests or suggestions, I'll happily hear them. I've been in an artistic slump for a long time.

Is THIS what you're looking for? *drumroll*

Interesting the way the front of the head fits into that hat.

Oh that's just a minor proportion problem. If you're conscious of it you can fix that with repeated drawings.

Chuck Norris was drawn a while back at my request, so she might've felt rushed while sketching it.

Chuck Norris made his head fit into that hat.

I find Hitler Spheal amusing. I don't understand the bread picture: did you make it that small in real life or did you photoshop it that small?

Hey, Chuck Norris was drawn rushed two years ago. Gimme a break. But I actually never noticed the hat thing... I have noticed the sad excuse for a star badge, though. That's just lazy.

I do nay understand your questioning of the bread. I made the bread small, but I don't see how you can tell exactly how small it is simply by looking at the picture. It's smaller (or just about as big as) than a penny, though. If that answers your question. No photoshop was used in any of these. Some slight contrast editing and some sharpening just to bring some life that was lost through putting it on the computer, yes.

I was asking if you created it in photoshop, but you answered my question. :)

That's awesome!
