a commission for solomon for their cool nsfw comic project “goldy & the bears”!
testing out some stuff to try to figure out how to handle drawing blood anchor as a comic
i think this process is a little too complicated, but i really like the way it looks, so i guess we’ll see!
mushmelons asked: Hi Maya! I'm determined to learn the ukelele, and you're the only person that I kinda sorta know that plays it... anyways, my question is this: what kind do you have, and do you recommend it? Thanks for your time, I really enjoy the things you create! You're delightful :^)
i have a concert sized kala ukulele and it is fantastic, but it also runs around $300 and i would not recommend it for a beginner! for beginners i always recommend the lanikai soprano ukulele. it was my first ukulele, it usually runs around $50-70, it’s super durable, and has a great sound! good luck!
inkytomes asked: Bee-Boop Bee-Boop! Maya this is the awesome police, you and your partners Michelle and Quillery are under arrest for exceeding the world's allotted awesome limit and straying into absolutely-too-amazing territory, surrender quietly! *ten thousand borin' face police and agents sit outside with newspapers and donuts*

a couple backgrounds i did for a test
haythamthemexicanmodel asked: Your drawing style is fantastic. I would sing on the highest mountain (probably hill cause im lazy) if you became an animator for a tv show. I would watch the life out of that
awww dang thanks!
i’m not actually an animator, but i am hoping to get a job in pre-production in the animation industry! so far no dice, but apparently they don’t hire much around this time of year.
accessorizingwithapencil asked: Hi, i just found you blog, just now (It's almost 4 am). I just wanted to say that your sketches are really, really amazing. The characters just look so interesting. I seriously wish I could draw like that. That is all. Goodnight, or morning. Yeah.
ahh thanks so much! i’m really excited for this project, i think it will be lots of fun! 8)
pastelletta asked: Just wanted to say I love how you present your sketchbook sketches (Is it filters or all camera work?) it makes it feel very real, like we're there looking at them with you haha <3
thanks! i just take dumb pictures with my phone. i don’t usually scan my sketchbooks until they’re finished.
okay i KNOW i took pictures of these earlier, but somehow they didn’t make their way into the other photoset, so here are three additional sketchbook pages
s-chama asked: Your Blood Anchor concepts and sketches have really great style. Will be excited to see where they go! ♥
thanks so much! <3
