If there is an image on my DA page you like that you would want as an iPhone case send me a message before Nov 11 so you can get decent savings.

Alright I will officially make it official. Doing a work of art each day in August.  Maybe making it official will be a good motivator.  My theme is going to be digital art and I am leaving it open from there.  Going to post them all in this gallery:senshisoldier.deviantart.com/g…

Hopefully in 27 days I might have a few images I like or can use in a portfolio or something.

Also I made a tumblr for my art:lizmcquaidmartin.tumblr.com/
And my new website:www.lizmcquaidmartin.com/

Took me a while but I finally figured out how to make a website.  Check it out: www.lizmcquaidmartin.com/
Hopefully I will have some great portfolio pieces to add by the end of the summer!

Just finished my first year of art school.  I have learned a great deal and I will post most of the projects I worked on (even though they are traditional art and DA people seem to love Digital a bit more).  I am proud of my short story comic I finished (See here at previous journal: fav.me/d4sv498 ).  I see A LOT A LOT A LOT of things I could have done better but I am just so happy to have something under my belt that is finished.  With that accomplishment complete I have so many options for the summer I am not sure which direction to go.  

I would like to keep working on my 100 challenge: fav.me/d4fcf6p .  I had to take a break to meet the project deadline for the noir comic.  Just looking at the small number I have complete I can see a decent style developing and an improvement in my digital drawing skills.

I want to start a website.  I know some simple coding and really need to put forth the effort.  A web comic theme is the general idea.  I even have some comics you can see here: privycomics.blogspot.com/

And most important! KEEP PUTTING STUFF OUT THERE!  I want to draw or paint or create something everyday! I am not ready to commit to any sort of daily challenge because I might start that obligation for the comic website but I still should be working out styles and practicing color, proportions and everything else.  I have been playing catch up with skill for all the years I pretty much ignored my artistic talents. I am keeping a list of a few small projects/fan arts/styles i want to explore and now is definitely the time to start.  Typing a few here so the world will see my goals!  I am much better at following them if I fear someone calling me out in public...

Some things I want to complete before the summer is over:
Mucha style portraits
Callie Magotbone
Flame Princess
Queen Beryl
Knight of the Laughing Tree
League of Legends Characters
various other fan arts

So a cheer to the summer and all the future endeavors for me and everyone else here on DA!
