I'll find my artistic niche eventually.  Currently, I'm discovering the joy that is cross-stitch which lends itself very nicely to my love of video games because it's so easy to use pixel art as a cross-stitch pattern.  I've just uploaded my first game-related cross-stitch in the form of a Deus Ex: Human Revolution/My Little Pony crossover (yes, I've been bitten by the pony obsession as well).  It started off as something I found myself sketching which I then translated into pixel art using MS Paint and then I used that as a pattern for cross-stitch.  I'm hoping to try something similar with other characters, game or otherwise. My flatmate has suggested a Zoidberg cross-stitch but I'm not sure what my next one will be yet. Please watch this space as there will definitely be more cross-stitch to come. :)

I haven't drawn anything for a while and the most creative thing I've done recently was making some Long Fall Boots for my Chell cosplay at the London Expo this year. So, I thought I'd share them with you. I've also uploaded some of the better pictures from the Expo. I'm afraid I'm not especially photogenic so sorry about that. ^^' This may also inspire me to do some Portal fanart so watch this space. :)

I know it took a long time but as it was my first ever Photoshop picture, I was sort of expecting it to.  I found a really good tutorial to help me with the basic colouring and another few for things like shadows and clouds.  All in all, not bad for a first attempt but I could probably do better now I'm a bit more familiar with things.  BTW, I would really, really love some critique on this if possible.

I think it's going well. I've finished the shading and am now working on the highlights. It shouldn't take too long, I just need to make sure I put them in the right places. ^^

Well, I know it's been a while but I've finally got myself a copy of Photoshop and have been playing around a bit with it. At the moment, I'm colouring one of my existing pictures. So far, I've done the basic colours and am now working on the shading (which I'm not so great at... ^^'). I'll upload it as soon as it's finished so watch this space!
