More Artwork Of My Characters, Featuring Astra And Crystal, That Was Made For Me By My Friend @purplekatarts

In case anybody's wondering what I've been up to this weekend, this is my view right now. This is my #life #unfiltered if you will. I've been doing homework and preparing my artwork to go up on my revamped website. You'll hear more about that when it's done. For now, consider this me poking my head in and saying "hey, I'm here. I'm just busy." and tired... Getting back to work now! ✌🏼 🔹 #lifeunfiltered #unfilteredlife #artlife #lifeofanartist #artist #collegestudent #collegestudentlife #digitalart #digital #painting #instaart #digitalpainting #digitaldrawing #creative #illustrator #graphic #photoshop #wacom #color #art #dailyart #artoftheday #paint #adobe #digitalartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #CrystaltheCC

Gorgeous work! I love them so much 😊💙🌌

A set of four DND-inspired collectible cards of the Ava’s Demon cast I made as a reward for my new Kickstarter, which you can back here.

Beautifully haunting 😊💀

New Namesake page!

It’s Halloween! Time for the Annual Thigh Highs. And also, a few from previous years.

Based on my black and white coloring thread on Twitter, someone asked me if there was also types of inking and… kinda? Here’s a little study I made. Disclaimer - These are my personal categories, nothing really official.

My heart melts for this comic. 💙

This comic about spot loving Data so much and Realising Lore is not her person because Data is soft/loving and wouldn’t be mean to spot or try to kill his crew has me in actual tears

HAPPY DISABILITY AWARENESS MONTH!

I finished Theme #3 Color! I'm kinda cheating actually... This one was already done, and I didn't want to redo it for the project because I already spent sooo much time on it.⠀ 🔹⠀ First, a little excerpt about this piece. It features my OC named Acid, who is part chameleon and part "giant" Komodo dragon. His name is a direct reference to psychedelia and LSD (aka acid). He changes colors! Here we see he's made friends with an average chameleon, and he's copying the chameleon's color.⠀ 🔹⠀ (3rd image) A year ago, the original drawing from 2015 was my inspiration for this digital painting. (2nd image) After one semester, I spent several hours and got pretty far, but my prof and I both knew I could do better. (1st image) A second semester later, in the same class, I worked several more hours on this painting.⠀ 🔹⠀ I know I could keep working on this, but I'm calling it finished for now and moving on. There's so much art that needs to be done and not enough time! I hope you guys enjoy. 😊 I'm working on the next one as I speak (er type...) Stay tuned! 🐲

Celebrities and web companies back DonateForNetNeutrality.com matching fund to spark massive protest ahead of net neutrality CRA deadline

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 1, 2018 Contact: Evan Greer, 978-852-6457, press@fightforthefuture.org

Evangeline Lilly, Bassnectar, Tom Morello, Justin Sun, Postmates, Namecheap, Cory Doctorow, Private Internet Access among donors

A number of well liked web companies and high profile individuals have banded together to back a crowdfunding effort launched by digital rights group Fight for the Future. Ant-Man and the Wasp star Evangeline Lilly, legendary guitarist Tom Morello, Tron CEO Justin Sun, author Cory Doctorow, and EDM hero Bassnectar are teaming up with companies like Postmates, Namecheap, and Private Internet Access matching Internet users’ donations to raise money for an epic final push for net neutrality as the deadline approaches for Congress to reverse the FCC’s repeal of open Internet protections.

See the crowdfunding page here: DonateForNetNeutrality.com

Organizers hope to raise $100,000 to fund mass online protests, crowdfunded ad buys, and strategic in-district organizing pushing for House members to support the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to restore net neutrality before Congress adjourns at the end of the year. The full list of “Internet defenders” who are matching grassroots donations 100%, includes: Bassnectar, Cory Doctorow, Tom Morello, Evangeline Lilly, Private Internet Access, Justin Sun, AnchorFree, iFixit, Lookfar, Namecheap, Pornhub, Postmates, Startpage, Bittorrent, and Tron.

“These folks are taking on the telecom lobby machine and fighting for a free, open, and uncensored Internet,” said Tom Morello, “Net neutrality is the free speech fight of this generation and time is running out. It’s time for the Internet to rise up again.”

“This is not a partisan issue, the battle for the net is a fight for our most basic freedoms. People from across the entire political spectrum can agree that we don’t want anyone to control or manipulate what we see and do on the Internet,” added actress Evangeline Lilly (Lost, Ant-Man and the Wasp, The Hobbit).

“Given my deep belief in an open and decentralized internet, I support Donatefornetneutrality.com and urge others to do the same in this critical moment where Congress can still act in favor of net neutrality,” said Justin Sun, founder and CEO of TRON. “When the internet is free and open, it fosters innovation that benefits not just a few, but all of us. It’s our responsibility to protect these core values and push our community towards the cause.”

“Net neutrality is not dead yet. Not even close,” said Evan Greer, deputy director of Fight for the Future, “But time is running out on our best chance to get Congress to save the open Internet and give Ajit Pai the worst day of his political career. Comcast and AT&T’s lobbyists are doing everything they can to make sure Congress adjourns without addressing this. We have to make it something they can’t ignore.”

Starting a month-long Figure Drawing Challenge course, taught by Pencil Kings. I’m hoping I can stick to it and not “drop the ball” like I have with my other projects. This is my ‘before the challenge’ sketch. 🔹 #art #drawing #sketch #artwork #draw #artistsoninstagram #sketchbook #artoftheday #arts #sketching #pencildrawing #artists #artistsofinstagram #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #drawingoftheday #pencilsketch #instadraw #sketchoftheday #artdaily #dailysketch #drawingsketch #sketchdaily #drawingchallenge #figuredrawing #pencilsketch #illustrator #artist #CrystaltheCC #CrystalCurie (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEYUTjiDJ82/?igshid=12e95524ukyd

Finally finished Theme #2 School! Again, I ended up taking more time than I wanted to in order to finish this. I'm going to continue trying to make more time to work on these Themes so schoolwork doesn't eat up my time. 🔹 I don't have much to say about this scene, other than my OC Helyna (pictured here) loves reading books, so I thought this scene would be most fitting for her. One thing that kind of bugs me about this scene is that it's too orange. I would've liked a better color balance, so that's something for me to keep in mind for future Themes. 🔹 I wish school were this peaceful. 😣 Lately, it feels like I've been in a whirlwind of busyness. I'm not sure what else to do other than to keep moving forward and constantly trying to utilize my time better. 🔹 Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy! And to my fellow college students, best of luck on your studies! 😊✏️📚
