Asarea

As you see I've uploaded some pictures the last weeks after a very long time of hiatus. Well, my life was incredibly busy (I moved two times in 2013 with a total distance of 664 kilometres) last year and I had not very much time to draw anything in my spare time - and I just had no motivation to do free stuff. It was an exhausting year, but it was very interesting, too - and I have started several creative projects:

My blog "Nerd-Gedanken":
It's all about gaming, roleplay, nerd-stuff and the life as female nerd. Written in german, and heavily influenced by the games and stuff I'm doing in my free time. You'll get game and book reviews, guides, discussions and roleplay adventure stories there - so if you like this kind of stuff, have a look: nerd-gedanken.blogspot.de/

My steampunk book project:
I participated in NaNoWriMo 2013, and yes, I'm proud to say I'm a NaNo winner. Got 50.000 words written in one month, after the last move - and hell, this was a load of work I had to shoulder next to my normal job as webdesigner & illustrator. But I got it done and put it into my desk to work on it this year. I felt I needed a break from the story to avoid my perfectionism of reviewing it that often and ruin it with too many corrections.
Have a look on the progress here: nanowrimo.org/participants/glo…

My (self) publishing projects:
I sold one book projekt to a german publisher - and I'm almost done with writing - and have three book projects in my desk's drawer I'm planning to publish myself. Lot of work to do - but I'm happy to have the freedom now to work on those projects.

And there will be more pictures in the next weeks - I'm back on track and DevArt will be part of everything. Thank you for your support, your likes and your comments, they're much appreciated

It's incredible. I didn't visit this page or my gallery for quite a while - I just forgot totally about it. Never thought it would eat up so much time to get self-employed, but it is - and I only can apologize for the long time without a word. There just were other things much more important in my life to sort out and get done.

Finally I'm going to post work in here again - there will be less art 'cause I spend my whole day with creative stuff, my free time then yells for somthing different

I'm very proud to tell my piece 'Dances with Water' made 2nd place at 's summer challenge 'Four elements' - if you want to read her journal entry, go here: ellygator.deviantart.com/journ…
I still can't believe my picture was chosen between ~100 contestants, and this really made my day! Congrats to all other winners, thank you to all judges, the price donators (can't wait to get the cool stuff I won^^) and to Elly for hosting this great challenge!



The last weeks were full of work for me, and I've been quite absent in here - I actually forgot to tell you who won the 70k kiriban, shame on me! Congratulations, :ITAHunter:, I didn't forget you gotta catch up with my regular work, but I already have the sketch for your picture on my desk.



Thanks to three wonderful deviants I was mentioned in their art-journals - so I'm giving back the features now with the chance for seven others to get featured in here. Just leave a comment if you want to be in!

I'm taking commissions - just note me for more information.

200 hits to go to 70k - it's about time for a new kiriban, I think. The one sending me a screenshot of the winning 70,000 number and being an active watcher - this means you should have commented on a piece in my gallery at least one time the last two months - will get a b/w piece with up to two characters of own choice. Good luck!





  

Wonderfully shaped bodies, creative and interesting designs - you will get this and more if you browse through her gallery. Take your time to read the artist's comments to her works, too! If you want to have something very special - she's doing commissions.
