Hello! I've spent the last year or so working a few semi-consistent freelance gigs and drawing/painting/playing video games/being alive in between! Last summer my friends and co 3 Milk 1 Sugar (our studio name!) studio mates and I worked every comic convention we could get into! It was a really interesting and exhausting experience. We had a con every weekend from Sept 3 (FANEXPO TORONTO) until Halloween (C4 Winnipeg)! This year we managed to narrow it down a bit :p We'll all be at Fanexpo Toronto again next weekend though! That's me ~saarmander (https://www.deviantart.com/saarmander) , and my mates :iconrobynlauart:  :iconjalbenn: . I'm working a few new pieces for the sh

Hi~ My friend ~rarebyn (https://www.deviantart.com/rarebyn) has gotten me to do art work on Gaia Online based on small "chibi" characters people have dressed up in all kinds of crazy costumes.

 I made this account 4 years ago, knowing that one day the time would come. I would be ready to post the images I judged so harshly and let the long and painful journey of becoming a really really ridiculously good looking artist begin. That day is today! There's so much happening online right now. Endless resources for art education both  FREE and PAYED. So many GROUPS of inspired people working together to reach their dreams. The competition might be tough, and the world overloaded with TALENT, but I still think this might just be the best time to be a living artist! I'm happy to be here posting art that I love to make, anyway :)
