Happy Mother’s Day!posted 6 months ago by family_staralternate_emailFromtheAshes

Happy Mother’s Day 💐

To all the women who carry love like a lifeline;

To those yearning to become mothers,
To the brave new moms just beginning the journey,
To those who have never known a mother’s love but give it freely anyway,
To the mothers who have lost children and carry silent grief with grace,
To the fur moms who nurture with warmth and care,
To the bonus moms who chose to love children not born of them,
To the moms who’ve lost their own moms and carry their memory forward,
To the women who mother others through mentorship, friendship, and compassion,
To grandmothers who are the roots and wisdom of the family,
To single moms holding it all together with strength and selflessness,
To stepmoms who love without limits,
To adoptive moms who turned hope into family,
To foster moms who love, let go, and still give again,
To women who mother through prayer, kindness, and quiet acts of love -

Today we celebrate you.

Your strength, your love, your resilience - these shape the world.
Whether your motherhood is through birth, choice, circumstance, or heart-
You are seen. You are appreciated. You are deeply loved.

Happy Mother’s Day. You are a gift. 🌷

New Layout - Gryphon/Griffin (depending on how you spell it)posted 6 months ago by family_staralternate_emailFromtheAshes

Usually, I change my profile layout every three months, for the four seasons, and I change the different fantasy creature and colors too. That would have made me change the spring theme to summer on June 1st, but I couldn't wait! I needed the greens and golds, plus I love Griffins. I loved the pink, blossoms and dragons, but I needed something less bright.

I love it, and it makes my page feel fresh and magical. YAY!

How often do you change your profile pages, or do you keep them the same all the time? If you do change it, what do you change it to and why?

Isn't it Gorgeous?! (Commissioned Art for me!)posted 7 months ago by family_staralternate_emailFromtheAshes

I found an artist I just love and commissioned her to draw my main character, Petrys Pehn, from my book series (who is based on Peter Pan). She did such an amazing job with it and I'm in love. I'm going to have her do other characters too!

Petrys Pehn

If you like her style, check out DragonQuill Art on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573746838988)
and
Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/dragonquillart/)!

She's so talented, and isn't unreasonable in price.

The How, What, Where, Who?posted 9 months ago, edited 9 months ago by family_staralternate_emailFromtheAshes

How many usernames have you had? (You don't have to share them!)
Just the one here on Sheezy.Art.

What does your current username mean?
It has a double meaning. First it came from one of my very first original characters, who has used the phoenix as a personal mantra for his life. No matter what happens, he chooses to rise beyond it.
I also have used it as a reminder for my own life that when the fires come, I can still rise from the ashes and be amazing.

What is the first program you used to make digital art?
I don't remember the name of the first program, but I loved it, until you couldn't get it free anymore. Then I went to Gimp.

Where did you first start posting your art?
DeviantArt.

What is the first piece of media you drew fanart for?
That I have online, it was Sessoumaru and Inuyasha Christmas art from 2006. I'm sure I have older art somewhere else though.

Who was your first self-insert/persona/fursona? What did they mean to you?
I created an elf from a story a friend and I were creating together, years ago. She was the only character I ever based on myself, and she outgrew me, for which I'm grateful.

Who is your current self-insert/persona/fursona? How are they different to your first?
None.

What/who inspired you to be an artist?
My oldest sister and my mom were my art inspirations. One of my other sisters encouraged me to write.

What tools are integral to your current workflow? (e.g. Programs, brushes, references.)
I use Gimp for editing and digital art, but I'm more of a traditional artist (markers, colored pencils, crayons, ink pens, gel pens, etc., are my main mediums).
