Two more clocks done for Anime Central! This must be what it means to be on a roll?
First, there’s the DBZ clock. The outside edge is painted to look like the dragon, with six dragon balls inside and the 4-star ball on the second hand, so it goes around the clock (thank you DBZ abridged for continuously reminding me about how much I love this series). The second clock is Fluttershy, done in an outline style, with her cutie mark on the side. She’s the pony that gets asked about the most as far as pony clocks go, but I never remember to make one. Now I did, yay!
This brings the clock total up to nine for the table. I hope to surpass that number by the time the weekend is here and we head out for Chicago (going to stay with my dad before the con ^^)
*loud screams of joy* I FINISHED IT! I FINISHED THE SET! I finished it for Anime Detour and it got cleaned out. I won’t have the whole set for Anime Central, but I will have some, and if you’re going to the con you can order some from me to have shipped to you :)
ALL OF THE ARCANA INCLUDING THE EXTRAS IN GOLDEN! I DID IT! OMG!

This is how I spent my weekend. Yay Anime Central preparations! There’s more clocks in progress, but these are the ones completely put together.
Fun facts:
1. The Marceline one? The guitar goes around the clock in seconds, since it’s the second hand.
2. Jack Frost was the first one I made this weekend. I made his hoodie for the edge of the clock with pencil dipped in white paint.
3. The Sailor Moon silhouette is painted on the glass itself, so it sticks out a bit.
4. Kid Flash feels :(
These will be for sale at my table at Anime Central. T-minus two weeks!
Hey guys! Remember this crazy project? It’s almost done! I’m sketching the very last tarot card right now! I hope to have the entire set done by the end of the week :) This set includes the arcana in Arena, in just… well, everything Persona 3 and Persona 4 ^^
I’m debating on whether or not I should have one last card with the image that’s on the back of the cards. This one right here.
The entire set will be at Anime Detour in a few weeks. I think, maaaaybe, whatever sells I want to try and remake for Anime Central. I might change my mind since this entire project has been insane ^^;; The coasters can be purchased individually since I don’t expect anyone to be crazy enough to buy all of them.
Thoughts on having the face as a card to go with it? Thoughts on the project as a whole?
This is how I spent part of my weekend! Anime Detour has a charity auction every year and I try to come up with something to put in it. This year is the first year I thought ahead of time ^^;;; J. Michael Tatum will be at the convention and I thought, “What if I woodburned a big picture of Sebastian? And he signed it?” I’ve been emailing the people in charge of the auction and they like the idea!
The burning is done (yay!) and now all that’s left is to have him sign it. The plan is for it to be signed the night before the convention, so it’ll be autographed when its put in the auction on Friday :)
Along with the finished picture is some progress pictures. This was something I started to do on Saturday and finished about half an hour ago ^^
Picture one: All finished, red eyes and all!
Picture two: The start of the project. The picture is sketched onto the wood in pencil, very lightly, in case I had to erase anything.
Picture three: Penciled in the parts that will be woodburned.
Picture four: Started to woodburn, took a picture to show the difference between the woodburn and pencil :)
Picture five: All the burning is done!
This was fun to do and I’m kind of surprised it didn’t take as long as I thought. My poor little woodburning probably hates me, though ^^;;; If you’re going to Anime Detour, be sure to check this out in the auction!
As always, feel free to check out my Etsy store or my DeviantArt :) I haven’t done too many large woodburnings, so I hope this turned out o.k.?
Anime Detour work station! This is what my living room looks like right now. Look at all of those woodburned and painted coasters. I have at least 72 ready, but these are the ones done this week. So yes, on top of getting the book published is epic crafting for my art table ^^;;;

With Anime Detour fast approaching, it’s time to get some woodburned coasters done. Of course, Jack Frost has made an appearance thanks to my obsession love for Rise of the Guardians ^^ I also plan on making some sort of wine glass or goblet or something, hopefully in time for the convention to match the coaster :)
As always, feel free to send me a note if you’re interested in a commission, or you can check out my Etsy page.
Just now getting into this series – or rather, these short clips that would make a lovely series – and I’m already in love with it. Had to make something for the local comic book convention this weekend. When I sketched it, I realized that there wasn’t much room on the wood for Batgirl, then I realized, “Paint her on the glass, duh!”
And thus, this mirror was born :)

Pony clock commission completed :) Fluttershy and Big Macintosh with their cutie marks on the side. I decided that for the outside of the clock I would paint one side yellow, the other side red, and in the middle the colors sort of blend together.
