| I figured I'd keep a log of not only my commissions/gift arts, but a "quick reference page" for anyone I'm commissioning or if anyone is so inclined to draw my characters- Rioxia or Chickadee :D

Yay! Finished one legwarmer, now just applying the "fluff" to it. Yeah, the knitting isn't the most beautimous, but no one'll see it :D
One down, one to go. Then the armwarmers. My costume will be so FUZZEH.
BWAHAHAHA!

| The start of leg warmer #1 for my Rioxia costume:

Yay!
Score for knitting in the round and doing colour changes for the first time. :) moonykins- you were right, knitting in the round IS super easy! :D
Gah, knitting is so addictive. This was about 2 hours of effort/learning. It's 1:30am and I have work in the morn. I'm crazy :3 | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Some pics from the show this past Sunday. I'm riding (perfect) Patti, who I feel is possibly a touch too small for me, even though she's a 15 something hh Quart Horse. The only bigger horse at the barn is a 17hh Thoroughbred, and she's not really a lesson horse. Patti is my fav at the barn though, so I was really happy I could take her to the show.
I didn't place in Equitation (boo... the class where they judge the rider) placed 4th in Under Saddle and 4th in Pleasure (both are judged on the horses movement). Still a step up from my last show where I got 6th place in Under Saddle! :) I didn't have to do sitting trot in the Equitation class, which was a good thing, since I really am not good at it, even with some practice before the show, but I guess I still need to work on my basics. Problem with lessons only being every other week is that it's hard to fit everything in that I want to work on- jumping, position, cantering, sitting trot, regular trot and the million other techniques in between.
I felt like I was sitting up, but I think I look all slouchy in the pics. Then I realised I ride hunter and you have to lean forward a bit. Didn't get any side-view shots of me, and these are just the ones where I don't look all overweight haha! Got to love riding clothes! Doesn't help my number had to be tied across my front. Makes me look weird. Also- helmet cover. God, why did I have to choose a pink helmet? Gah. I would have looked so much better if my tan breeches came in time, black shirt, black helmet cover. Oh well, next time!

One thing I'm proud of in the photos: Heels down... like a boss! :D | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |
| My fav characters always seem to be the animals :) I decided to do a warm up sketch this morning. This is Naga, a polar bear dog from the new series, Legend of Korra. Very worth checking out, by the way.

Sorry for the lack of updates! I'll make a post of all the work I've been doing in the past month this week.

| Momma yeti doesn't like having her family dinner interrupted!
This piece was a challenge for me compositionally and working the colour pallets into a uniform way. It certainly didn't flow quite as easily as the gryphon piece, but I feel a challenging piece is a great learning tool.
Hope you like!
