Quick PSA about drawing my characters!I get people asking pretty often if they're allowed to draw fanart/gift art of my characters.
You don't have to ask though! You're more than welcome to draw any of my babies if you would like to, just show me when you do because I LOVE seeing how people interpret my characters. (◕‿◕✿)
However, there are actually but three characters I would like people to refrain from drawing, unless I explicitly ask for them to be drawn.
These lil' guys:

Here's a couple of Chev and QC together:

Cheval and QC are really important and super personal characters to me and Kata so they're kinda off limits. (◡‿◡✿)
And Yellow is a representation of certain aspects of myself, negative ones dealing with my depression and stuff so yeah.
But every other character I got laying around is completely fine to draw! But please no porn

Commissions- Couples Edition!Time for commissions! I love to design characters, so expect seeing your character in a different style, with simple/no background and possibly graphic filigree. If there's something specific you'd like to explore about your character, tell me! I love helping people figure their characters out, whether it's seeing them in 1920s fashion or genderbent. These are cheaper than I'd normally do mainly because I will be taking my time with these. I've made a special slot list for COUPLES art cause I'm a ROMANTIC and will use the profits to visit my boyfriend.

Some of these commissions will be livestreamed at the permission of clients.

Would like your opinions on these ideas.Hey folks,
So I've been thinking about making some interesting offers commission-wise. Of course, I could just continue to do commissions as I do them now and I'm enjoying that, but once I finish my current list I would like to do something special for a while, or offer a special as an extra. I could use your help to perfect some basic ideas I've got. If you think they're rubbish don't hesitate to tell me either, heh. Mostly though I'd just like to hear what you think of them and if you think something would make them better or more interesting, please share.
• 25 full-color busts - $75-$100 each.
Pro: Fun portrait and color exercise. Not too big so it doesn't get boring.
Con: Possibly too expensive, but I can't really sink below $75.
• 50 full-body sketches - $25 each.
Pro: Quick, good gesture exercise, doesn't get boring if enough variety in character is offered.
Con: Need to do many for it to be really profitable, could get too much.

Offering Designs!
I have decided to offer designs of horses. I will make five slots available at a time. These will use a standard lineart appropriate for the breed of horse the design is for. What do I ask for in return? To be simple, art of my horses, but especially of my Nordanner boy, Golden Fate 442 http://fav.me/d4xziw3.
Please comment with the following:
Once per horse, please.

What I can offer in return: Art, points, etc.
Permission to showcase this design as an example, below: yes/no?
After a week (taking Christmas holidays into consideration), I will select the 5 that most appeal to me, and comment.
Please expect approx one week for me to complete your design. The more intr

Project for AwesomeSo... after I read TFIOS I was told that the author of the book made this vlog with his brother. So I checked it out. They are quite fun to watch . I also really enjoy Hanks scishow

fun stuff...well, in the (not so lengthy ,as you might think by this journal) process of procrastinating and youtubing vlogbrothers....I shall call this act "procravloyouthering".. what a poor word.. sound like someone in Asgard would be named like that... (lost track of what I was typing)
Anyway, something called Project for Awesome caught my eye. So I did my research, and it sounds awesome. so yeah... many of you might know what this is, since apparently, its been done x times before! which sounds awesomer!
so if you don't what it is about, check it out. To the charity of your choosing!!! PROST!

Also, if you donated or will donate, send me a dA note containing your mail and I'll send a full sized TFIOS picture Im currently working o

SphynxWhat is the plural of Sphynx ? Sphynxes ?...Sphyxen? Anyway, I was just thinking that sphynxes are awesome and very under represented in fantasy art.. why??
I have many drawings of them and a I have done a couple rough sculptures (for myself, not produced), but so far, sphynxes as subject matter have not met with much enthusiasm.
I guess they are usually pretty unpleasant, bitchy creatures, even though they are cats... but if you look at traditional mythology, mermaids ( sirens), fairies and dragons aren't so nice either!
Here is a nice sphynx: "The Caress of the Sphynx" by Fernand Khnopff (1858–1921) ( you can google it)
I like this painting because ... well, because it is very sensual and huge boobs aren't front and center for once.
Do you have a favorite sphynx image/ sculpture of your own, or on DA, or anywhere? ?

Woman in Sci-FiThere's news ... kind of.
I've been hired by an actual company to do actual art. With a contract and everything. It's not permanent, but there is legal paperwork ... so that has to mean something. One of these legal papers means none of the finished art, none of the sketches, and none of the any part of it will be here. But that's pretty standard.
I'm going to let myself be excited about this. I get to work with the husband, which I always love, and the guy I'm working for is great. Not only does he have a ton of interesting concepts and thoughts running about in his head, but he has this idea that I really *really* like.
He doesn't want objectified, unrealistic women with exaggerated anatomy and bikini-armor -which is paradise to my artistic sensibilities. Not just that, but he was able to bring up the topic, without blinking and without apology, in front of a woman. It actually took a while for that bit of conversation to sink in.
I never, in my lifetime, thought I'd hear something l

Most of my current friends probably know Kid, aka ProjectHalfbreed. I have been given the request to inform all of you that she is now without wifi (I guess those neighbors of hers finally got smart) and she will not get her own internet restored until Thursday.

SIAWC Auction suggestions?Edit: Alright, thanks everyone :>. I think I know what needs to be done now and I'll try my best to do it well.

Hey folks!
As you probably noticed I am currently trying to auction off a series of six anthro fighter sheep, the SIAWC: http://lhuneart.deviantart.com/?rnrd=5627#/d5j18oh .
I noticed there doesn't seem to be too much enthusiasm yet for this particular auction (of course, the auction isn't nearly over but still), do you guys have any suggestions for what I could do to make it more appealing? :> Is something bothering you about the character, about the winner's rights or the options that come with the prices, or do you reckon it's simply a matter of taste?
I'm asking because I'm going to do five more of these and of course I'd love to see it grow into something people would love to be a part of. If successful enough, I may come up with a similar team (perhaps an opposing one?) somewhere in the future as well.
So yeah, let me know! I'd love to hear your opinions :>.

Losing Altitude: A Very Birdy Book

by ~Nambroth, Dec 12, 2012, 3:24:41 PM
Journals / Personal

Gather 'round, my bird and bird-admiring friends!

If you've spent any amount of time in my gallery, I'm sure you have guessed by now that I am passionate about birds. I have been since I was a toddler-- literally-- and saving birds through awareness has always been a goal of mine. It's one reason I am honored to announce that my work along with the work of many other very talented artists are going to be featured in a book called "Losing Altitude". It is an art book, showcasing endangered bird species that need help. One of the biggest hurdles facing endangered birds and steps to help them is awareness-- it's true that we are often bombarded with imagery of more charismatic, well-known animals such as leopards, tigers, and pandas. All of them are very deserving of our help, but birds are also facing some serious issues and not many people know about it.

That's one reason a book like this is pretty awesome. The more well known the book gets, the better the chances that people will see-- and delight in the art of course, but hopefully take small steps in their lives to help these beautiful animals.

If you are interested in the book, buying it or just supporting it, check out the kickstarter here: [link]

Even if you cannot help at this time (and trust me, I do understand!), you are welcome to spread the word!

That's really cool, and I'm in!

~ElementalJess Dec 16, 2012

Congratulations! I bet it's rewarding to be able to use your skill toward a good cause ^_^

~Nambroth Dec 16, 2012 Professional General Artist

I'm delighted any time I can help-- critters, ecosystems, or people!

*AmandaDrage Dec 14, 2012

I don't understand what this Kickstarter thing is, even though I keep seeing it! I would be interested in purchasing the book, but it's not making much sense to me right now - do I have to make a pledge to buy it, and is there a time limit??

~Nambroth Dec 14, 2012 Professional General Artist

Kickstarters are a way for people with no money to invest in something to attempt to make their (thing). In this case, the artists and creator of the book cannot afford to print and publish the book out of pocket, because it costs thousands of dollars to do. So, they set up a kickstarter, where anyone that might want to support the project (and, actually get a copy of the book if they sign up for the pledge that offers the book) can pay into it and help fund the project. People that pledge only get charged the amount they signed up for IF the project reaches its full funding by the due date (dec. 26th in this case). If the full amount is not reached, no one is charged a penny, and the project will not be made. If it IS funded, everyone that pledged will be charged, and sent the reward that they signed up for (if any).
Does that help?

*AmandaDrage Dec 16, 2012

It does, yes! Thank you for the explanation! I shall pledge and spread the word!

*Woodland-Mel Dec 13, 2012

I would have loved to have been an artist on this book. Like, OMG, how perfectly awesome. I love painting birds so much; though I'm actually doing more professional looking ones right now, only my old (small) bird paintings are online at the moment [link] [link] I'll certainly be contributing by purchasing though! I hope it does extremely well, I do not see how it could not. *Best of luck!*

*namu-the-orca Dec 13, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

As one of the participating artists and a big fan, I can only thank you for featuring our project here! There's been a massive leap in funders, so it's most definitely working. THANK YOU so much

=painted-flamingo Dec 14, 2012

Took the words right out of my mouth!

~Elijahsrevenge Dec 13, 2012 Hobbyist

You should read National Geographic. They do a lot of articles on birds, the threats facing them, and what can be done to help minimize those threats. There were several times when they featured birds of paradise and all the unique species of those. Another time it was puffins, or albatrosses, or penguins, or philippine eagles, bowerbirds, swifts, whooping cranes, sandhill cranes, bald eagles...I can't even remember all of them!
