Hello Again!

I've been such a bad girl. I haven't posted in about-- forever? 

Well I've been busy, so I guess I have an excuse. 

Recently on deviantart, I've been taking in more requests and I'm so excited! I've created quite a couple pieces that I really really like, and I think I might use one to use for a new blog design. :)

This was a request from my good friend, Jessica. We both have Hunger Games obsessions. If you haven't read the books-- read them! They're awesome-azing. :D

Yes. I love this one. It's currently one of my favorites. This one was sent in from a girl on deviantart. Once again, I love the Hunger Games!

The fire on their costumes made me really nervous at first. I had absolutely no idea how to draw it. Turns out, with a little help from my best friend Gimp 2.6, that it's pretty easy-- and fun! I think it turned out pretty nicely. What do you think???

This was sent in from a girl on deviantart too. It's supposed to be GlaDOS and Wheatley from Portal/Portal 2 which I've never heard of in my life until now. I think it's a video game. But I still like the picture. The background turned out pretty cool too, even if it is simple.

I also ended up drawing a lot of picture for my friend Becca for Christmas. Most of them are our characters from a book we're writing. And have been writing since about forever. It's a major part of our friendship ;)

 This is me and her <3 

 This is one of her characters; Hawk. Yup. He has wings.

 Mwahahaha! Doesn't this look epic? My character Megan is on the left, Becca's character Wynn is in the middle, and our friend Julia's character is on the right. :)

And this is a picture of the old version of our book. We've rewritten it a couple times, changing a few things. More like a lot. 

And that would be why we're still writing it. haha!

And last but not least, I have a couple pictures that I made yesterday for fun. I was bored... and was supposed to be doing school. But my need to draw has just been growing lately. I love art. I love the feeling of drawing.

I think I'm going to use the panda picture for the design.

Whatcha think??

Be Crazy y'all!!

Hello There Christmas. Didn't see you there!

Well.

We have six days until Christmas.

Huh.

This past weekend we went to visit my grandparents house to have some Christmas fun. I got some really awesome presents!!!

*two very awesome sketchbooks (thank you Gram and Papa!)

*Charcoal and Graphite pencils to go with the sketchbooks (thank you Gram and Papa!)

*three different erasers that go to assorted pencils as mentioned above (thank you Gram and Papa!)

*An Owl ring from Charming Charlies! (Thank you Aunt Jan!)

*The rest of the Maximum Ride series!! (Thank you Gram and Papa!)

*An Alice in Wonderland teacup from Disney World!!!!!!! (THANK YOU Aunt Ashlie and Uncle Clark!)

Awesome right?! As soon as I opened my sketchbook stuff I started drawing. Heehee...

Obviously, these are the versions I edited on the computer. But they were originally sketches in my notebook. The first picture was in charcoal, and the lower one was a graphite. 

Can you tell I've been on a Hunger Games rave as of late?

In other news, I recently downloaded GIMP 2.6 onto my computer!!! It's a photoshop software for anyone who doesn't know. I edited the above pictures on it, and I'm so happy I took the time to download it! It's AMAZING and soooo much better than picnik.com. 

Trust me.

It's SO awesome.

XD

I've been very busy on deviantART.com lately too. It's so much fun! If you wanna check out my page go >>here<< I'd like it if you stopped by! I've got lots of art uploaded and recently people have been starting to notice me, which is pretty cool. A couple people are watching my art now, and I've even made a few friends. It's right up my alley XD

So anyways, I hope y'all had a great weekend and if you're on break than YAY FOR YOU!!! If not, don't worry. It's almost here. XD

Be Crazy Y'all and Hug Some Art,

Claire

{p.s.} I'm currently working on a request sent in from a friend of mine. Anyone else want a drawing made for them? Just click "Have a Request?" on my sidebar to check it out! XD

Even More Harry Potter Love

Christmas is just around the corner... wow.

Just wow.

All our Christmas decorations are up and Christmas movies and music are on 24/7! I was so ready for this. So SO ready for Christmas to come. The dark evenings are perfect for reading a good book (Maximum Ride anyone?) or for watching cute Disney Movies whilst sipping tea or hot chocolate.

*squeal!*

I've recently been obsessed with Harry Potter images on Pinterest. Yeahhhh, it's awesome.

 Wanna see some favorites?

Aladdin!

April 1st- their birthday!! Only three days before mine...  ♥ Ahh, I love this comic strip. Makes me laugh so hard!

Dude check out Sirius... cute!

Woah. Hold up. A Hogwarts robe SNUGGIE?! O.o

...

That is officially going on my Christmas list.

I'm pretty sure that's how I would feel. haha! I'd totally be in Ravenclaw... or so I like to imagine.

ahahahaha!!!

When we were watching this in the theaters, I was making a very confused face at this part and laughing in a very befuddled manner at Dumbledore's riddle-y-ness. He's so confusing. XD

♥

and I saved my favorite for last...

 I love you Alan Rickman!!!!!!!!!

That's all for now. Be looking for a post on some recent artwork of mine. Until then--

Be Crazy Y'all and Give Alan Rickman a Hug!
