On Halloween, (heh, a little a while ago) I and my sisters plus brother did another music video in our costumes. We made a music video during our family Halloween party, and we did Particle Man from They Might Be Giants band. We love this band since we were wee ones. It brought back many memories as we did this song and it was a lot of fun.
It took me a while to edit it but I am very happy with the results, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
Thanks to my siblings for making this fun video on Halloween 2021.
And if you couldn't tell, I was dressed up as Cruella, and my siblings dressed up as Particle Man, The Duchess from Cruella, Lucas from Smash Brothers, and the Winter Soldier. I hope you will get who is who from that haha!
Haha, yeah I honestly didn't know what to call this piece, so I just called it Grabbing. Not a very good name, but for now that's what it is.
Hands Grabbing.
I did this during church for I like to paint, it helps me listen. When I grabbed the program it has this picture and I wanted to try to recreate it in my style. So two hours later this is what I did and I like it. My style I feel like is more bright and unique, but maybe you don't think so, but I personally do.
The past few weeks I've been trying to publish my first book of Sweet and Sour through Amazon self-publishing. I got it on kindle book just fine, piece of cake, it was a breeze. But I've been trying to get it on paperback and it's like impossible!
They help you very much with the kindle version, but with paperback their like "You're on your own, we need it in a PDF file," and all this other crap that I'm like, "What?!?"
I spent hours and hours on my laptop, computer, and phone trying to figure out how to make a PDF file and etc. It took a lot of exporting, blood and tears, but hopefully, I got it and it will be available soon. But for now, you can check it out on kindle here.
This painting took me 21 hours and 22 minutes. I was so shocked when I realized that usually, a painting takes me like 2 to 4 hours. But when I was done and check the timer it said 21 hours and 22 minutes. Wow! Like wow! That's a long time.
I didn't sit on my butt all that time, I actually would work on it when I can. I started this project just to do something during church for I have a hard time sitting and listening during church so drawing or painting helps. Every Sunday at church I would color this project, which took me over four weeks. Now that I'm done I feel like I need another big project, haha!
But this project is all about me.
Going to Therapy I've been learning a lot about myself and decided I wanted to make a painting all about me. I have vision myself now in the middle while other parts of me touching my shoulder or leg, and then added other parts of me in the background.
Swimsuit Girl:
The little girl in the swimsuit is me as a child, I wore swimsuits all the time, like all the time. My favorite color was pink, and to this day I still feel childish, and compassionate. I feel like the child also represents the compassionate self, for sure kids don't understand a lot but when they see someone cry they just hug, at least my kids do and it makes me so happy and comfortable.
Suit Girl:
On the right side is a girl in a suit jacket with a name stage and a skirt, I served a mission for my church and grew up in this church, but also had to find out if it's true and something I wanted to be a part of for the rest of my life, and I did found that answer. This girl represents my faith self, how much I have served and still serve for this church because I do believe in it and adore it and how no one should take that away from me.
Red Girl:
When I was a teen, I fell in love with singer-songwriter Imogen Heap, I loved her talent, her fashion, and her songs. I wanted to be like her so I would try to dress up like her to school and didn't care what people think of me. This girl is my creative girl, and at the time black was my new favorite color, I wouldn't say I went gothic but did dislike pink for a bit.
Ballet Girl in the Background:
The ballerina in the background is someone who I wanted to be when I grow up. I started ballet when I was seven years old and absolutely loved it. I had friends that say how Jazz or hip hop is better, but I disagreed, ballet was my favorite, Lyrical was my second favorite, I truly wanted to be a dancer. But I had a knee problem that got in the way of my dream, it kept slipping out and got worse and worse the older I got. So I had to quit and started focus more on my new passion which is drawing.
Goddess with angel wings:
On the bottom right corner, there is a girl with angel wings, she is who I think of myself, a goddess. I enjoy thinking about myself as a goddess and I never told anyone about it until now.
Blackhole:
On the top right corner, there's a girl with a wedding dress on if you look closely and she is in this black hole. My first marriage didn't last long and left me in this darkness. I gain two little angels but I was mentally, emotionally, and physically not well. I won't go into too many details but the point is that was the dark time of my life. I do hope I will find someone and get married again, but for now, I am happy and grateful for modern medicine and therapy.
Now you know so much about me, I call this painting Me, Myself and I, for it is all about me. I did a space theme because I have a thing for space, I think it's so pretty and fun to paint. Now I did five different versions because I cannot decide how I want it to look, or the final look to be, what do you think? Let me know!
This fox girl is so darn cute. I really, really, like how I did it. This was from a TikTok challenge of drawing it in my style, they did this fox girl so I tried it and I'm just loving the results.
I wanted to try that challenge again with a different picture that I thought would be great to try, but I actually don't like it. I have tried different ways to make it so I can like it, but for some reason, it couldn't fix it. I mean it looks ok but I just don't like it, what do you think? It's this water girl down there.
I mean it's cool...maybe...the water is...maybe not...she is...maybe...I just don't like it.
These next ones I've probably had already post about it, but I'm sharing it again but it was also a 'draw it in your style' TikTok challenge. And I really like it.
That's right, I reached 10.K followers on my Tik-Tok account. OMG! I couldn't believe it when I saw that I was like "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!" that is so crazy! I have never reached that far before on anything, like Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, and my first tik-tok account.
I have a vision of painting my family. It took me 3 hours and 41 minutes. Wow. But I think it's the best thing I have ever painted.
This has a lot of symbols in this painting. I have a huge thing for butterflies. It has a huge symbol of change and that's what I feel like what has happened to me, change, a lot of changes has happened to me that I didn't expect to happen but those changes were for the better so I feel like myself is a butterfly. I won't explain about my kids for they are too precious to me, but if you are interested in something like this please comment or DM me on my Instagram, Facebook, etc.
Ebb and Flow Gamerz is going so well, this episode ends with a terrible cliffhanger, (No literally, hanging from a cliff haha). Go check it out here. It's so good.
If you read my last week's post, I have to say that the tik-tok video I posted is still getting views and likes on my Tik Tok account. It's pretty crazy. But feel bad because I feel like maybe I shouldn't take so much credit from it for I only dueted the video, that is all. But I mean it's cool I am happy how many followers I'm getting (Just hopefully they don't go away because they find out that I am lame or something). But anyway, I would like to know if anyone has ever published a book before.
If you have ever published a book before let me know how it went and give me some suggestions, I am thinking about doing self-publishing through Amazon, but have no idea if it's any good or not do you think so? Let me know, for I am getting really close to finishing editing my first book of Sweet and Sour, it's really exciting to me!
On Tik-Tok I kept seeing this video about this red guy in a suit and has a monocle, it intrigued me, and was curious who is this guy. It took a lot of searching for I had no idea what his name or what show he is from. But not to worry I did figure it out and watched the first episode they have on Youtube. Hazbin Hotel is what the show is called and the guy's name is Alastor the radio Demon, and OMG you guys...I am in love with this guy.
I rewatched the first episode over and over again, but mainly watched the parts where Alastor comes into the story. The show itself is not a kid-friendly show, I'm actually hoping my mom doesn't find out I'm watching this show, (um...Sorry mom,) but I love Alasator and cannot wait to see the next episode just to see him because I am in love with him.
I drew him in my style.
This is him.
I am not sure why I like him so much, he is very creepy looking...but I love creepy looking, I had a major crush on Jack Skeleton from Nightmare Before Christmas, I just have a thing for this kind of thing.
I drew this a few years ago. Maybe I have a thing for guys in stripes suits.
Hello, people of the world, I posted a video on tik tok that had over 20 thousand views, which was pretty good so I decided to share it on the Reels of Instagram, and never have I ever gotten so many likes or views or comments on Instagram before then I did with this video.
Hopefully, this video will work here.
It was more likes and comments than that, this is just when a moment happened. I could not believe it. It was so constant of notifications, I was trying to watch a show on my phone but every two seconds a notification would pop up saying someone likes my video I shared on reels and such. I was like, "Is this what it's like to be famous?" your phone was being blown up with notifications in seconds, for it was only seconds when I shared it when it was blowing up. It's pretty cool, kinda wish it was like that every time I post something on there, or anywhere else in that matter.
But honestly, the only reason why that video got so many views and likes is because of how the video I was reacting to was so good. So it really I am not famous because of my face, it's because of the other video.
But still, it's pretty cool that it happened.
I've been working on Sweet and Sour book one editing, my editor has finally edited the whole book and now I get to fix it, and then I can publish it! Hopefully. I found a way that I might be able to publish it, but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing, it might not even work and such, but either way I am pretty excited about it. Once I finish editing it and figure the publishing, I am going to work on editing on the second book and let my editor look over it for its best when someone else reads it, and maybe during all that I'll get to it to the third book. It's pretty cool to me, I really do hope I can do all the books I want to do before I turn 50, which is a long time away but time moves fast. My oldest is going to be in kindergarten this year! Holy crap!!
I have decided also to try to do my funny comics again, I just feel like I never know what to do each time I try to make one. But the other day I had an idea from the help of my sisters and just quickly got on my I pad and did it before I forgot it. It's about how your phone is your best frienemy, it's kinda true.
I have also been on fire! Been crazy busy working on Ebb and Flow Gamerz channel, I have done a video every week for the past four weeks, it's so great! I love each video I do, please go check out their channel and give it a like and subscribe, we have worked hard on each video. They are funny and fun to watch. Link here.
I enjoy making these videos, I really do hope they will become famous like I was for one hour. Haha.
Hello, people of Earth! So been really busy, moving to a new home, took a week-long vacation, and hosted a bridal shower. Been crazy busy with my life this summer. But now that I am settled, I'm getting back to work on my art and such.
If you don't remember or haven't been reading my blogs, I have mentioned how I am an editor on Ebb and Flow Gamerz videos. I am Poe in these videos, a pink flamigo. I'm hardly in it but I still enjoy doing these videos. I still edited their videos during my vacation, that's how dedicated I am, heh-heh.
Here's a short video of their channel, I wanted to make it as a commercial AD kind of thing, but they just published it just like a recap video type of thing, which is fine, I did put a lot of work into it. Check it out! I couldn't stop watching it once I finished it.
I have done a lot of drawings, when I should be working on my book Sweet and Sour, ha...Anyways, I did see the movie Cruella, and I absolutely loved it. Went and saw it again the next day. I think I want to be her for Halloween, I just really like her a lot. I drew her of course in my style, you can watch the speed art of it on my channel, link here.
I think they did a really good job with the movie, I loved the style, the plot, it was different than how I expect which totally blown me away. For when I saw the commercial for Cruella, it looked like it was going to be something different than what it really was, which I think that's great, all movies should do that, make the commercial seem different than how it really is, but yet the same? Hmm... maybe not, I'm not an expert on movies.
But do enjoy making youtube videos.
I really enjoyed watching my own speed art videos that I'm deciding to record myself painting whenever I do paint. And Cruella was something, or someone I really like, I want to do more things or people I like. The next one I did was Lindsey Stirling.
I discovered her in 2013 and did fall in love with her music and dancing. In December of 2020, she did a stay-at-home Christmas Concert and I really enjoyed it. And my favorite dance was the one that she dances with her hair hang. I'm sure a lot of people liked it too for she was so amazing at it, but I loved how she showed how she was training for it and how hard it was.
Yes, 2020 was hard for everyone, but honestly, it was my best year, 2019 was my worst. But anyway, the point is I do love her message about how hard it was for her to do this performance and it did inspire me to do more. I have been afraid to try to figure out how to publish my book, and such, but she did help me to find that courage. I don't know why she did but she did, and that's why this is my favorite dance by her.
Her hand holding the violin was the hardest part of this picture. And I kind of wish I could figure something different for the background but I was playing around with it for a long time so I think this was the best I could do...at least for now, I conquered! I will get better, and maybe, possibly, been thinking about it, go to school for the art of some kind. I don't know for sure but have been thinking about it.
June has started and I'm already so busy with so many other things! Since I got my second book of Sweet and Sour done I've been adding page numbers and doing a little editing myself, but for sure someone else needs to edit for me because my grammar is bad. But you can check out what I've done so far. Reminder, it's not really edited.
Twenty pages. That's it. So far. About less than 200 pages left to go. This is going to take a while.
My first book is still not published, for I do have someone editing the first book for me and I honestly don't know when she will finish it, but hopefully soon since it is summer break for her. But who really knows, for me this month of June seems really busy. So much is happening and I don't want to feel so overwhelmed with everything. But for sure I want to finish doing book 2 with the page numbering and editing the best I can.
On Tiktok, a lot of artists like to do challenges. One of them is the "draw this your style" challenge. I have done a couple of these art challenges, and this one I found I decided to record it on my neat Ipad Dimitry.
I like Fantasy a lot, so it was really fun doing this picture. I also decided since I recorded it that I will make a speed art video and I personally think it's cool watching speed art...maybe not for anyone else but I know that I do so hope you find it relaxing and give it a like and subscribe even.
I have been working on another animation called "Death By Peanut," which is based on a true story. I've been working on it for six months now...and part of the reason is that I didn't work on it for six months. Now that Sweet and Sour book 2 is done I am trying to get it done.
I know that I haven't been on top of my youtube lately, but I still want to do videos for myself. I have been more focusing on working on Ebb & Flow game videos. I highly suggest you check them out because I think they are great.
If you like video games, people playing video games, and a little commentary with some animation action then go check out Ebb & Flow Gamerz. I am Poe the editor flamigo. I love doing their videos with them.
This here is the game Among Us, this one is one of my favorite videos because I got to play with them. Check it out! Also like and subscribe, it's fun to watch!!
With summer coming I am super busy in June. A lot is going on with my life and part of it is that I'm turning 28...yep I'm getting older. And honestly, all I want to do is getting my hair done. It's been a dream of mine to have my hair pink. Will it come true? We'll see...
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.......I have finished Sweet and Sour book TWO!! It took me almost two years to do. The first book took me over two years, and I was trying to get it done sooner but I can't seem to go fast, I am just so slow. When I would draw in my sketchbook it would take me only six months or less, I don't know why doing it on my tablet takes longer, it's odd.
But just because I finished drawing the book...doesn't mean it hasn't been edited. It needs to be edited, I'm still waiting for my editor to finish the first book, and then possibly I can get it published. Hopefully, I'm still unsure how to do that.
I am taking a small break and then will start on the third book. The third book is most likely going to be the last one, I know it is going to be a very small series, but it's good and I want to work on other stories right away.
It is very exciting to me to know that I finished the second book at least, for it seems to take forever with no end to finish one book. I do hope I can get them published. For now, here's a little bit of the second book, probably won't make any sense if you haven't read the first book, but it's just a little taste of it.
I've noticed how I haven't posted any videos on my channel and decided to work on one. So I am still busy, being a mom and working on art projects, will it go anywhere? Probably not, but I still enjoy making videos.
And I've been doing requests from people, my older sibling has asked me to draw Autobots for my sibling's oldest son's birthday cake, and I hated it. It looks great, but it was awful to draw, I don't want to draw robots again.
