I use Photoshop Elements and a Bamboo Fun tablet I got for my birthday. ^^
I used to use the trackpad of my MacBook Pro. It's very big, but I was still too artistically challenged to get the lineart right. XP
It takes me a long time to make these pictures, so I'd really appreciate it if no one stole them.
If, for whatever reason, you want to use my artwork somewhere, please ask first.
If I draw you something for your application and you don't receive the pet, I'm going to donate the art to the new owner of the pet so it doesn't go to waste. If you have an issue with this, please don't ask for app art.

recent art
This is my most recent art. Please feel free to Neomail me with any criticism and/or helpful suggestions. ^^
5.26.11 Tried to go for a breezy, cartoony style. ^^
5.20.11 I didn't even make an effort with the lineart, so everything is totally out of proportion, wobbly, crooked, etc. I tried a bit with the coloring/shading, but the shading on the tail makes me cringe - and the rest isn't much better. XP
dunno, forget. It's Zack Ad.dy (Bones) and an OC. I drew it for a fanfiction author. :3
dunno, forget Supposed to be me. Looks absolutely nothing like me. XDDDD
If you have no idea what it's supposed to look like, though, I guess it looks kinda nice. :3
recent-ish art
Had a tablet. Had PsE. Had no idea what I was doing.
11.15.10 (evening, not 3:30 AM) All done. ^^
11.15.10 I stayed up until three thirty in the morning drawing these. Very, very stupid idea. DX
I started with Illustrator CS5 - it was my first time ever using it (unless you count the time I opened it, scribbled for fifteen seconds, then quit), so I had to get used to the program while I was drawing this. Kind of distracting.
I know I've got a lot of orange light on the walls (which I haven't detailed yet). She was originally going to be looking down at a battle scene. But as I was making the fire burning down the castle, I realized that it looked more like a pretty sunset. So yeah. XD
8.31.10 Not, strictly speaking, art, but oh well. :3
for mmm1005 =D
drawn in February or something; uploaded 8.31.10
I don't usually do traditional art, but I made these with watercolor pencils. My first time ever using them, so it didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. XP
They're supposed to be Patrick Jane (the Mentalist) and Gregory House (House, M.D.).
8.30.10
Mostly Corel, but I had to got to PsE to do the background and snow.
EURRRRRGGGGHHH. D:
It's supposed to be a roleplay character of mine, Aera. This scene is when she turns around and sees Nova for the first time.
8.30.10
My tablet came with Corel Essentials, but I never touched it until today, when I stumbled across this guide. Very helpful; definitely worth a try. :3
Synvu/Kaminari again.
This was supposed to be a roleplay character originally; it's a cat named Kaminari. But then I liked how it turned out, and I decided it was Synvu, a Spotted Kougra I have on my side, and entered it in the BC.
I lost. XD
A Darigan Aisha request. ^^
my pre-tablet art
This is my semi-recent art, drawn without a tablet. Please feel free to Neomail me with any criticism (besides the lineart) and/or helpful suggestions. ^^
This one took forever. This is a picture of Jaglal surprise-tackling his best friend.
This is a picture of a Spotted Lupe I'm applying for; his name is Jaglal. ^^
This is a Faerie Xwee someone's applying for; I drew this for their application. ^^
This is a Faerie Peophin I drew to see if I could do anything with Photoshop Elements.
ancient art
This art is all very old. I don't do this style anymore, so criticizing it is pointless. It's from when I had no idea what the heck I was doing. I used TuxPaint, Seashore, and a netbook mouse. Please forgive me for making it. XP
A Baby Xwee someone requested.
I experimented with Photoshop. It did not go well. It was intended to be a Spotted Lupe.
Another time I failed with Photoshop. It's supposed to be a closeup of a bouquet of flowers, but I don't think anyone can tell.
This was a reference picture for a pet I was applying for. She was a Maraquan Cybunny; I gave up on my application when I realized that, although I liked it, the reference sheet I had drawn looked nothing like a Maraquan Cybunny.
I used my mother's tablet computer and MS Paint. Unfortunately, my attempt at shading made it look like it had pit stains.
My original design for Kipal/Ninkipalm, the Faerie Kougra I adopted who hosts this page. It looked odd.
I comic I tried submitting to the NT. Both the art and the humor is dreadful.
A Fire Xwee. The outline turned out horrendously blurry.
