A fabled return to DA...?

Apr 25, 2016

Hi guys, It's been a long time, way TOO long a time. But every time I come on here and see people's lovely comments, I feel like I should earn them with more artwork, but alas that has not been forth-coming. I have this thing about putting my art online because I just do art for my own enjoyment, and that's enough for me. But what DA has shown me over the years is that so many people get so much enjoyment out of other's art. So I'm going to start to make an effort to get my stuff online. Now, it's going to be slow - as I hum-and-harr over the huge back catalogue of stuff I have produced! Don't worry; I can totally promise more video game

“Dirty Bird”, a fried chicken vendor in Wales, has been forced to defend its choice in logo: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/dirty-bird-cardiff-food-company-7578230 Some rather prudish individuals have complained that it looks a mite dubious, while the owner of Dirty Bird has insisted that people are seeing what they want to see, and not what was intended. It is claimed that the logo is simply the lower case initials of the company placed back to back in order to form the neck and wings of a cockerel. Seeing one of Dirty Bird’s recent promotional images, however; one might be given cause to doubt their profe

My Bio

I am a commercial artist with around two decades' worth of experience, with much of that time having been spent working in the video games industry and about seven years as a self-employed freelancer. Prior to all that I worked in a design studio, and going back further still I was taking on paid art commissions as young as the age of 14.

Some people know me as 'her wot draws'. Mostly harmless, I spend my life taking leaps forward and hoping to land in big piles of relevance. I consider myself to be yet another example of something.

Current Residence: South, UK
Favourite genre of music: RAWK!!! XD
Favourite photographer: Dark Romantics Photography
Favourite style of art: anime style, painterly CG
Operating System: Windows 7
MP3 player of choice: My phone
Wallpaper of choice: always changing... I'm a fussy bugger. ^-^;
Favourite cartoon character: Always a toughie... right now it's probably Chococat (Sanrio) or Marvin Martian
Personal Quote: Let's go inky! Tsubabababa!

10 years on: Sudeki on Steam!

0 min read

Well, once again it seems I've spiralled into a time slip between journal updates - more than a year's gone by this time! I do have what I'd consider to be a pretty good excuse though... the best kind of excuse really, in that I've landed a new role - as a FIRST TIME MUM. :love: My hubby and I made a chibi!! :XD: His name's Hal and he was born in June 2013. :aww: And yep, it's been a real game changer on so many levels. I could go on and on about how amazing it all is but I know how boring that can be when you're not bothered about baby stuff (I've been on the other side myself, I was never a particularly broody type but that's not to say I w

Now illustrating for Doctor Who Online

0 min read

Check Out Doctor Who Online's brand new VortExtra Prologue and Epilogue to 'Attack of the Cybermen', with illustrations by yours truly! http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/VortExtra/Attack-Of-The-Cybermen/ Stay tuned for more to come? ;) :bulletgreen: UPDATE: My second VortExtra - The Keys of Marinus: http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/vortextra/the-keys-of-marinus/ Again, I illustrated the Prologue and Epilogue. This time I went with a monochrome shaded style to reflect the black-and-white TV broadcasts of the First Doctor era. :) :bulletgreen: While I'm here, an update on my work situation; at the moment I'm back to freelancing from home

Arooga: So long, and thanks for all the fish!

0 min read

For a couple of weeks I've been waiting on the official word as to what's happening with my position at Arooga, after having been put on 'garden leave'. This is something I've been through before, 9 years ago in fact - when I worked for Climax Group. The end result has been the same both times, and currently I am now redundant. The reason being, in Arooga's case, that there just isn't enough work coming in to justify keeping me. Of course I am very sad to hear this. I was enjoying my work immensely and thought things were going really well, having only just been praised for my sterling work on Tumble Island: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tum

You're probably sick of hearing this;
but darn, I'm glad i found you on DA. Sudeki was a big part of my life in a way. So I must thank you for creating those character designs. They really do stick out in a great way
