Higher Quality Files!

So in a funny turn of thought, I realized all my digital pieces were formatting in a lower quality than they were produced upon saving them as an actual file.

I discovered how to save them as "High Quality" maximum files, and all of a sudden they look exactly as they do as when I actually draw them.

After 6 years of tablet use on photoshop, I never knew this. My whole world just got flipped upside down.

So as a fun fact, if you order a piece, your digital image will be composed of 100% clarity-- nothing but the rendered drawing and perfect color! Also, if you would like your piece RE-saved for the cleanest, highest quality print, email me and I'll send it over! I still have every single piece's photoshop file on hand.

See how clear these images are now?? It's a MIRACLE.

Now compare the quality of these two images after a High Quality Boost. Be sure to enlarge! (Sort of a bad example since there is so much white. But watch Josi's hair change!)

Pottermore

An art commission for one of my most loyal customers, Miss Morgan. She got sorted into Hufflepuff on Pottermore, so naturally... it needed to be drawn.

bb-ink is back!!

Jared & Monica

In 3 days it will be my best friend Jared's "One Year Left" mark on his mission in Armenia.

Oh boy, I'm excited.

It's nice to be on the downhill!
It occurred to me that I never draw pictures specifically of just us. How weird.
So naturally, I did.
Below is me and that outfit in the picture (left).

The Soldier and the Empress

A special piece for Jared Hammer, honoring his incredible talent for writing.

Characters from his story, The Soldier and the Empress.

....Yep, I love my soldier.

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled

"Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid."


These are the words that came to my mind in sacrament meeting today. As I was impressed, I drew this picture in my sketchbook during the passing of the sacrament. I scanned it in, fixed it up and colored it. There was something very meaningful in it to me as I drew it because of what I felt.
Anyway, this is something a little different than what I usually do. A little more human.
Love,


I hope you can feel in it what I did, at that moment I heard those small words.

Monica

Glowing Lanterns

Isn't it nice to have somebody that always uplifts you? Yup, it is. What a great pal I have. :)

(For Jared's book - Valentine's)

Kentron District 2011

As requested by Ben Seegmiller. (Lion.) This is the Kentron district in Armenia. :)

The Kentron district saw Ben and Jared's MTC group photo and wanted one of their district, so Ben emailed me a list of the animals and asked hopefully. Haha! Sister Kohler is also in Kentron with them right now (also in the MTC with Jared, the Koala), but there are three new faces (their companions)! Elder Strader (the fox), Elder Fairclough (the Jaguar ... what is with men and wanting to be large cats??) , and Sister Bailey (the kangaroo).
