Farewell 2020

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. August here. I hope you all are doing well.

Can you believe that 2020 is almost over? I definitely can’t. It’s been a wild ride of a year. Let’s hope that 2021 will be better and the virus eventually dies off. I don’t have much to say about this, but I’ll see you tomorrow for a new year’s post!

Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Sketchbook page (blogmas day 23)

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. August here. I hope you all are doing well.

Today I have a page from my current sketchbook where I just wanted to play with art styles and find something that works for my art.

I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Red belt announcement

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. August here. I hope you all are doing well.

Today I do not have an art piece, but instead an announcement. Earlier today, I passed my belt test at my martial arts class. I’m now a first-degree red belt! But that’s not the best part. My certificate has my actual name on it, not my dead name! This is crazy to me because of where I live and blows me away how nice my martial arts teacher was about it. I’d show a picture, but it has quite a bit of personal info.

Sorry about the rant! There will be art tomorrow. So in the meantime, remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Random drawing? (blogmas day 15)

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. August here. I hope you all are doing ok.

Today I have a very random drawing that I did. I really like it, I have no clue what I was thinking.

I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment below, is love to talk to you! Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Watercolor painting (blogmas day 3)

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. August here.

Today I have a strange looking watercolor picture I painted that was supposed to be a landscape. It looks interesting but not at all like what it was supposed to look like.

I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Announcement plus art dump

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. August here. I hope you all have been doing well.

I know that I haven’t posted since October and I am so sorry about that. I have been pretty busy with life and writing multiple projects for nanowrimo and more. So I’m going to be changing my posting schedule to at least once a month. I’ll try to post more then that, but I won’t be posting weekly.

But there is some good news, because I haven’t posted in a while, I have a bunch of art to share with you!

I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

The Small Joys tag

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. August here. Today I’m doing the Small Joys tag. I was tagged by my friend, B. @I blog a little bit of everything.

The Rules

  1. Thank the blogger who tagged you
  2. List 15 of your small joys (they can be as weird, random and silly as you want to make them)
  3. Tag 5 blogger friends who bring you joy (and feel free to say why they bring you joy!) Have fun with it!

My Small Joys

1. Musicals

What can I say? I love it when people burst into song. Most of my main fandoms have a musical element to them at some point and it always makes me super happy listening to the songs.

2. Disney

This is definitely my largest joy overall, but I can’t talk about things that make me happy without mentioning Disney. Almost all of my favorite movies are Disney and a lot of my favorite shows are Disney.

3. The Two Princes podcast

I started listening to this a while ago and I am obsessed. The new season just came out yesterday and it’s so good!

4. High School Musical

If you’ve been reading my posts for a while, you’ll know that I love this entire franchise. I love drawing the characters and listening to the songs. It’s seriously one of my biggest fandoms.

5. Art

I love art. Painting, drawing, and writing are some of my favorite things to do.

6. Winnie the Pooh

Pooh Bear has been one of my favorite Disney characters for my whole life. He has brought so much joy to me that I had to mention him.

7. Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts

I started this show one night because I was bored and was instantly blown away by the story, worldbuilding, and animation. I could rant about this show for an entire post and probably will eventually.

8. Fantasy

I love fantasy books, movies, and basically any media with epic creatures, magic, and crazy worlds. from the modern fantasy world of Onward to the beast filled world of my family’s DND game.

9. Percy Jackson

These books sparked my love of writing, myths, and sarcastic main characters. The books are a huge thing in my family and I love the musical. I am super excited to see the show when it comes out.

10. Julie and the Phantoms

This was another series that I started when I was bored and ended up loving. The music is amazing and the characters are all well developed and unique. Again, I could rant about this and I will.

11. Flowers

I love flowers. From the huge gardens my neighbors have to the bright colored wildflowers in my backyard. They are one of my favorite things to photograph and draw.

12. The Adventure Zone

This podcast is super close to my heart. The characters helped me figure out my sexuality and they are so freaking talented.

13. Halloween

Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. I love the pumpkins, The decorations, and the music.

14. Dressing up

I felt like this deserves its own point. While Halloween is famous for costumes, there are so many other times for dressing up. I love cosplaying as my favorite characters and finding or making all of the parts.

15. My stories

It may sound weird, but my stories bring me so much joy. Creating characters, a world, and so much more is one of my favorite things to do. I love using my writing to bring joy to others.

So that was the tag! I’m supposed to tag five other bloggers, but I’m going to do this instead:

I tag any of my followers for this! You guys bring me more joy than most things on this list. I love reading your posts and your comments. You’re awesome.

I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Redraw Saturday!

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. I’m going to try to post more than weekly, so I’m creating a specific schedule for different types of posts.

The original drawing is about a year old, before I could even draw digitally. I have no clue what I was thinking, but I saw it and just instantly wanted to redraw it.

I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!
