Watercolor nature scenes are well underway! This week's goal is to practice painting in these themed test sketches that represent the full scenes themselves to see which ideas might take root, and which I'll need to work on a little more before I can turn them into full paintings. Lots of new original scene ideas here, but I've also a few Travels with Qrow RWBY watercolor ideas too! I hope these all turn out beautifully! Wish me luck!

Woohoo! Time to break the mold! Yeesh, it's been crusting for months.

Where have I and Indie Tourney been? The simple answer is: college. It's been one ride after another both fun and challenging, sometimes one or the other, and other times both. I've been spending a lot of time meeting new friends, exploring my surroundings, and tackling a load of academics along with the search for internships and jobs. When it seems the world is throwing every responsibility at you, the best thing I can do is take my time and approach the way I think best, and that meant putting a hold on my projects... for now!

I've been itching to find a time where I can relax and populate this world once more. That time... has arrived!

Traveling Companions - A busy and bustling city of innovation and exploration, credited with popularizing the very term, "mobile", of course must fit the bill with snazzy, techy adornments. You can even spy various ships out in the river, stacked with valuable cargo and intrepid passengers hungry to unlock the secrets of the puzzle island. In the rural outskirts, you can also see Crazy Dave's Lawn, primed to play line defense.

The Chessmasters - We've spread our resources and set up camp throughout the forests. Hidden from the populous cities, these woods will allow us to carry out our operations and plot strategies with minimal chances of espionage leaking our plans to the enemy. Meet in the central camp right after our guided tour of the Pit. We are to discuss movement towards securing the Indie Artifact.

Like Clockwork - The grandest of optimizers have cleared an entire reach of the forest in the name of sheer statistics and economy. Their generators, conveyor lines, and automated logic circuits are unlike any other, and not only that... they seem to be diverging a handful of their power supply to fighting back against blue, ravenous fluid known only as Creeper. Goodness knows whether this scale of deforestation is truly justified...

A little collection of watercolor experiments and new idea sketches I’ve been creating this summer. 🌼💚

Painting outdoors feels wonderful, and all the shapes and colors are steadily becoming more and more consistent as I practice this new medium. Sometimes it’s unbelievably scary to pick up my brush and try again when things don’t work out as planned, and sometimes it’s horribly frustrating when things seem to go wrong in an entirely new and unpredictable way. But these are all invaluable lessons in learning, and you can’t gain the knowledge to help you move forward without them. I’m so incredibly proud of myself for these little triumphs, and I’m patting myself on the back for all the ways I’ve seen myself grow since I began. I’m only going to keep improving by leaps and bounds from here on out, and I’m already super excited happy for all the successes I’m celebrating here and now.

Thank you all so, so much for allowing me the time to learn at my own pace. It’s the greatest gift ever. 💖🌿

I’m posting my watercolor doodles more regularly on my twitter and instagram stories/highlights as opposed to here on tumblr for the time being. But once I gain a little more experience with watercolors, full and proper scenes should start appearing here for you all to enjoy!

Progress progresses slowly, but is progressing nonetheless! (Context: I just started a summer job and the initial shock of the grind is hitting a bit hard)

It Takes a Village – When villages crash land into each other... the first thing they'd likely do is... bring their townsfolk together to found an even cooler and more diverse village! You'll notice multiple buildings that bear resemblance to the original games.

My Home Away From Home – Gee... they may have fled together, but these folks seem to be reserving their own spaces to establish base. Well... even if their crafting materials don't quite mix, they can always fill a buffet table to share around. :)

Also... is that a castle wall they're forming over on the east? Who could be so protective to be forming such a defensive?
