???

I am Tamara! I am a 22 year old university student currently living in Perth. Other things about me are probably best discovered by getting to know me personally. Ha there now the burden is on you!

I have a deviantart which I haven't updated in a long time and I've also set up a separate tumblr where I dump doodles and artwork (more recent stuff generally).

I also take commissions for stamps, digital art and dress-up games. Details and prices here.

I’m so so sorry I can’t make such amazing and detailed comments about art like you can hahaha;;; but seriously your art is rad and I’m happy to see it on my dash!!!

lmao no need to worry, i appreciate it all the same :D and yeah, such a cute character! she was wearing a blood version of a beer hat in the reference pic, made me laugh.
and hnngh thank you for your comments. i’m real frustrated with how this turned out colouring wise both because of photoshop woes and my own skills BUT i’m keen to keep going considering how the flats turned out. 8)

so sad that regretsy has ended haha

“Later I used this costume for a New Year’s Eve Costume Party”

Seriously though, the fact that Regretsy has ended means that now I have to go looking for this kind of stuff myself. Which admittedly isn’t really that hard because hey it’s Etsy but STILL. Still. Tears. All my tears.

It’s ended?!? Noooooooo ;o;

There are still archives up but it’s not going to be updated anymore. SO CUT. There’s so much bullshit on Etsy and I feel like Regretsy, even if it wasn’t perfect and had a few issues, was able to call them out on a lot of it? Like that ‘hobo chic’ debacle, the allowance of mass produced items from factories, loads of white people trying to be mystical by saying ‘namaste’ and selling dream catchers made out of shoes (???), and whatnot. But here’s probably my favourite:

just speaks for itself really

Well, this is interesting haha! :’DThis whole time I have been getting on at myself for not being colourful enough but I guess I have actually improved on that front by the looks of things! You can see I went from traditional to digital, and my “style” developing heh. I still feel I lack a definitive style, and I kinda like some of my older drawings and the style used in them, but ah well, I shall forward on.April I had barely anything. I think I was having a bad time around then, and  apologies for the adult image for august, I couldn’t find anything else of substance I did that month :’3 (Raph, stop eyeing her up, goodness!)Going through my files, I was happy to see I was very productive starting from september! I should keep this up uwu 
But yes, this. Things. Good! Onward to more art in 2013!!! /rambles

I don’t think I’m going to win the competition tonight, but that’s okay! Don’t get me wrong, it would be great to win such wonderful prizes! However, I am up against really talented people and they deserve to be recognised too. I am more than happy that my art was not only put in the top ten, but it got so many votes that it has! I’ve had friends and followers tell me they like my design, and that is enough to give me the confidence that I needed to feel comfortable with my art. uwu

If I don’t win, I’m still gonna use my little doodle demon for future personal artworks!

I thank everyone who took the time to take a look and vote for it on facebook and even share it around! I also want to thank you guys for the continuing support from here on tumblr by liking, reblog and commenting on my art. You guys are all awesome! <3

<3<3<3<3<3 You did great, Niki, whatever the outcome!

Kneesocks!Just flats, not sure about shading it, I like it now it isThe brighter colours were definitely inspired by nosdoog’s art!
It’s the first time I’ve used rather bold colours, I tend to shy away from them.
But yeah uh, enjoy!
[High res]

hot a what
Sigh Niki this is so fab
I love the perspective but the way you always draw expressions really gets me. There&#8217;s a kind of lively jauntiness to the way you draw happy or cheeky facial expressions, especially around the jaw and mouth I think. 
Also excellent work on those beautiful lines and the way her hair is so deliciously spiky :D
