It’s almost a week away, but I’m gonna be at Emerald City Comicon this year!  Unlike last year I’ll actually be up on the main floor, so it should be way easier to find me.  I love getting to meet you guys at these things, so please swing by to say hi if you have a chance. :)

I’m also going to be sharing my booth with Colin Foran, aka nathantwist on tumblr and DA- he’s a coworker and a good friend, and it’s definitely worth your time to come and check out his work:

Hope to see some of you guys there!

Omigoshthisiskindalastminute but I am having a sale and giveaway!  Both because I still have some surplus art books on hand before I make my next order, and because I love you guys so much.

So here’s the deal:

1. Like or share this post, and/or…
2. …Like my slowly-yet-steadily-being-refurbished Facebook fan page!  It’s coming along.
3. Feel free to share the post more than once- I’m feeling generous.
4. Spread the word, if you’re the gambling sort, until the 16th
5. After the 16th I will randomly draw five winners from the entrants, each of whom will get signed art books, including a personalized sketch of their choice on the inside cover!
6. I’m going to try to ship the art books out by the 21st, allowing for domestic arrival by Christmas Day.
7. If you do not observe Christmas, I will take my sweet time with your sketch and it will be awesome.

I never have time to do sketches for people outside of conventions, so I’m trying to change that up a bit- we’ll see if I stress myself out in the process, but it’s worth it. :)

Best of luck, everyone!

Man, I never liked Charmander and his subsequent evolutions, but his original sprite was kinda adorably dino-like:

…And so I’m running with that.  He’s a bit of a creeper.

My doofy Charmander.

Fatty fatty fatty- also a representation of what I would like to be doing at this exact moment.

Getting back in the Pokemonathon game now that I’m done with most of my big cons for the year- very refreshin’ to draw some art I don’t have to care too much about.

pkmnathon:

What can I say, I got a little overexcited last night and drew up an Ivysaur as well.  Based on all of the grumpiest puppies I have ever known.

pkmnathon:

Howdy, guys!  I’m Claire, aka shoomlah.  Bulbasaur was my first starter back in the day, so that little bugger holds a very special place in my heart. <3

Considering that I worked at Neopets for a while this is all feeling eerily familar,

I’m starting up the Pokemonathon!  Granted, I have no free time, but it’s oddly relaxing to take 20 minutes to draw a quick pocket monster every once in a while.

AHHHHHHHH SUCH A GOOD PHOTO, C & AIDEN!

this is an end of the day photo of me, so I’m a bit haggard, but hey!  Nice to see some photos of us popping up.  Expect a spam of Ivy costume photos some time soon. :D

In case you were wondering why Claire is flawless and the best sibling.

YUUUUUUP

I forgot to tell you guys that my jewelry for my historical Jasmine came in the other day! Its a bit smaller than expected, but I’m excited nonetheless. I also got a picture of it next to the fabric and patterns for the pants and jacket.

The trick will be carving out the time(and space) to start the costume though.

oh em geeeeee, I get so excited when I see you guys planning costumes :D :D :D
