HSMTMTS Fanart redraw

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

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!

Liebster Award #2

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks! August here. Today I’m doing my second Liebster Award. I was tagged by B.! Go check her out.

The Rules:

  • Thank the blogger who nominated you
  • Answer the 11 questions the blogger asked you
  • Nominate 11 bloggers
  • Ask your nominees 11 questions
  • Notify your 11 nominees

B’s questions

  1. What colour best describes your personality?

Probably yellow. I’d describe yellow as sunny, happy, and sweet and that describes me pretty well too.

2. If you could only watch one movie (or TV show) for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

This won’t come as a surprise to most of you, but I choose HSMTMTS. The series is super special to me and never fails to cheer me up on a bad day.

3. Who’s your favorite musician?

Oingo Boingo! My blog is actually sort of named after one of their songs, Cinderella Undercover.

4. What is a secret talent you have that nobody knows about?

I’m learning close up magic. Mainly card tricks, but I’m working on some others.

5. What’s your favorite TV show?

I actually have a few… I’ve already mentioned HSMTMTS, Julie and the Phantoms is great, I love the new She-ra reboot, and Kipo is amazing.

6. Do you like to cook or bake (or both)?

I love both! They’re both super fun.

7. What is your dream pet?

I’d love a big dog!

8. What is the book you’re most excited to read next?

Not Your Sidekick by C. B. Lee! LGBT+ rep, superheroes and villians, and awesome cover design? Count me in!

9. What is your favorite food?

My mom’s chocolate chip cookies! They’re amazing and one of my favorite things my parents make.

10. What inspired you to start blogging?

I wanted to share my art! I had started a blog before, but I had trouble keeping a schedule (still do) and never stuck with it.

11. How would you describe your aesthetic?

Paint, fairy lights, drawings and posters pinned on the walls, lo-fi music and showtunes playing in the background, scribbling down Ideas in a notebook, rainbows, blankets and pillows, preforming musicals alone in my room, flannel and hooded sweaters, Halloween, warm colors, all of fall in general, Disney, graphic tee-shirts.

(That took forever)

HSMTMTS Halloween fanart

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. August here. Today I’m here with another Halloween themed fanart and, honestly, in my opinion this one isn’t nearly as fun as my other one.

I did have fun playing with color palates and costume ideas, but the theme isn’t really as creative as my JATP one.

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!

Yup, more HSMTMTS fan art

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. Happy October! I hope you have been slaying safe.

So, yeah. I drew more HSMTMTS art. Don’t worry, I may post other fan art this month that isn’t this show. Maybe.

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!

Gradient maps

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks! Elle here. Today I’m going to share my experience with one of Procreate’s new features, gradient maps!

At first they confused me a lot. I had no clue what the heck you’re supposed to use these things for. But I eventually figured it out! AH you need to do is make your drawing in black and white then layer the gradient map over it.

So I wanted to share the three pieces I drew this week using gradient maps.

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!
