Arkadia's Art - sigs, anime and more

[Arkadia]

Ahh I made this lovely long, organized post and then lost it all when the forum told me I couldn't post links without having made 15 posts.

So let's try this again!

I like to try my hand at all kinds of artistic mediums, so my work can be a little varied. But I like to think they all have my little "touch". Haha. I used to do a lot of graphics design, making sigs and website layouts and the like, but I don't as frequently anymore. I also like to dabble in artwork, a lot of my stuff has an anime-esque feel, if not downright anime-ish :-P

I apologize for the size of some of the following images:

Sigs:







Art:








My art profile on deviantArt can be found here.

I also model, and some of my images can be found here.

Let me know if some of the images are a little too risque for the forums, I know you can see through the doll's dress but she is indeed just a doll. But yeah, let me know and I'll take it down :blush:

Drawings>sigs.

To be honest i wish i could draw like that. They are definatly better than the sigs =).

But let me get this straight. You are an artist/sig maker a gamer and a model? Thats like to good to be true.

This would have to be my fav photo is this one Reminds me alot of Leona Lewis

All i can really say is keep up the good work =)

Sigs are fun to make though and can be an accurate indicator of artistic talent - not everyone has an eye for colour coordination and blending and focus and all those other things that make a sig something great.

I know a lot of models who are also artists, I think modelling is just another form of artistic expression =) In the same way textbook artists are often attracted to other creative mediums like music and writing, I think modelling is just another creative pursuit. At least, the serious models. There are some that just do it to look pretty - but that's no fun ;)

Multiple people have mentioned the Leona Lewis similarity - totally not my intention haha!

But thanks very much for your kind comments :D
