Guys I don't think he's gonna win this round

A free fanzine made in tribute to some of the LPS in my collection. Featuring some pets from my childhood, ones from my LPStube days, and recent (as of making) additions.

Available onsite, and on Itch.io!

I missed drawing something for the past few years, so here's Android & MH!Prisma having a quiet afternoon birthday celebration of sorts.

Unlike last year (JADE OC NEWS), I mainly ran this on my own website since layout changes were on my mind last month, so why not use a joke layout as an excuse to shake off the rust for coding.

Long story short, I managed to get 2 long-term dreamie LPS within the past month or so, and I've also been fixating on IIDX. The two pets' color schemes (LPS 1313 and LPS 1699) loosely reminded me of Ameto & Saya. So, this idea came out.

Anyways, for the archives I unpriv'ed my old LPStube videos from when I was a teen, and made a video with some thoughts on it, my art, and video making. As of this update, I'm still figuring out where to link to it onsite, but for now, here's some links to said video & youtube channel

Youtube video // Youtube Channel

I don't plan on doing videos as a regular thing anymore (infact this vid goes into why). But for that channel, having the archive open with a vlog-type video vs only a textbox felt right

This comic is still available on itch.io for download & offline reading: Itch page

but it snowed a few times at least. it was nice to look at, I guess that's something

A collection of works that often gets swept to the side by me, despite it being a huge part of my art journey.

Technical improvement isn’t a major focus this year (I mean, I just did 4+ years of that lol). I think it’s time to focus on more external factors of art, like gaining some stability, pouring more focus into doing it part-time while maintaining the personal side. As well as strengthening skills not directly related to illustration. It’s something that’s fell to the wayside until senior year of college, and now that I’m out of school I think at least for this year I can let these factors overtake direct art improvement.

As a minor update for the New Year, 2023's gallery now has a proper description and the 2024 page is open. There's nothing there yet, but I figured it'd be best to open the page now for the art yet to come.

Another design-y layout. Noticed this year I ended up using a lot more light color schemes than last year. I guess it's because this year I wasn't really feeling the same level of 'edge' and 'excitement'. But that's a point for later on. Before that, let's talk about each piece from this year.

This pic was done for a Christmas collab hosted by Zoiby on Toyhouse!
You can check out the full collab over here! (thread link)

Now off hiatus; PC-Mania! A short webseries about Jade and Iri needing to replace their computer and soon, that goal will go downhill. This one ended up getting delayed to do post-college fatigue hitting harder than expected. But I'm ready to pick it up and start working on it again!

With how advanced and fleshed out free and/or open source programs have gotten, I think they deserve way more time in the limelight. So reguardless if you're looking for a place to start or just want to try something new, I hope this list becomes handy for people who may stumble across it.

With both of them having been updated over the past 2 years, I think it's about time they got a render together

A few shorts about the experience of going to the convenience store at night.
Now available on Itch.io!*

*This comic will be mirrored here in the future. Though for the time being, you can grab the PWYW PDF on itch!

While it's far from representative of my current work (we're talking art from highschool), I do occasionally refrence some of my older art for redraws, retrospectives, etc. and would like to not have to rely on DeviantArt as an archive going forward. There's still a few stragglers and larger projects I need to compress & post here, but I think this site's now a comprehensive enough archive of my art from 2014-now.

So if you're looking for some 'vintage' art from me, you can now visit them over here.

Two once close friends, now distant after the utterly bizarre happens to one of them.

This project was started in late 2020, but had never seen completion. A few other notes on how it would've ended and why the project failed has also been added onsite.

There are a few pics I haven't backed up (noteably: pics with gore since I don't have an onsite filtering system yet, vent art, & two pics that weren't on my external hard drive) But outside of that for 2020 onward this site's a far more comprehensive archive than what I had on DA.

Here's a sample of what I archived.

In the meantime, here's some old ALT fanart I did

Here's some highlights from those years! (usernames noted are their artfight users)

in order:
Fate Man was drawn for Lady_Nuggetz
Beanie was drawn for BlizzardBrute

below are 2021 & 2019 and are less representative of my current art

in order:
Buppy was drawn for RabbitJaguar
Mina was drawn for Mioumi

Additionally, added a few more pics to the 2023 gallery. Some of them were on the site before, but hadn't made it to the main gallery for one reason or another. Others hadn't been posted here beforehand.

While I have yet to finalize something for the main galleries, Comics have been swapped to a separate type of gallery. For comics, I needed something something that allows both descriptions (for bonus notes & context) and images to be displayed larger than it would be in a lightbox (ease of reading).

Whew... That was an update. I think I'll need a break before doing any more site-wide tweaks.

I hadn't finished a traditional art piece since May (at least one outside of my sketchbook) so I wanted to get the ball rolling again with a bit of personal art

2020 // 2021

The galleries for each respective year have been updated to reflect this. As of right now I'm not looking to migrate all of my older art on site, just what's relevant (I feel it's worth directing my energy elsewhere at the moment)

You can find the zine available for free here!

For some context; This started as a separate post about Io & how I didn’t expect them to make it past a few artworks. I made a second thread later about a canned project Io's original design was based off, 'Magia Mechanica'

This actually was close to being my grad cap design, but I ended up canning it due to the main figure being too complex (would've been hard to cut out!) Wasn't gonna leave the lineart sitting there so here we are

Synopsis: After Jade and Iri's computer breaks, the two of them rush to the store to find a new one. The one they roll with? It's a tad bit off...

Just the onsite landing page for now. More info to be released soon and I'm very excited to finally launch this!

The original piece has also been added to the 2021 gallery for comparison. Similar concept; but a team battle against giant enemy crabs!

(for those who don't know, here's F4SH10N - composed by aran)

An rhythm game player battles for the fate of the arcade; win and it stays as is. Loose, and the venue gets bought out. Something seems off during the competition...

Also, over the past few days a few new pics were added to the 2023 gallery

But also, I've made recently made a more 'serious' portfolio site. It was more for a course I'm taking this semester and I'm not sure how much I'll use it going forward. But if you're interested you can find it at portfolio.jadeeverstone.com

Five images were added to the 2022 gallery.

With me adding more things & changing how I use this site since I made it, I wanted to switch to something a bit sleeker (and the sidebar was long overdue for an update...)
As of sending this the Main site is ported over to the new layout, but the project pages have yet to move over.

If things look wonky onsite, try hard-refreshing the page.

And hey, I did something a little more design-y than my past ones! Will admit it was a bit tricky to fit each month's pics into the frames this time but I'm glad I tried a different look than usual

On site, if pics are broken, try hard-refreshing the page

For this feed, I won't update pics on it to avoid spamming old messages

Contains links to fellow webneighbors, resources, and more! And I do plan on updating it with more links as I go

Lan Party!

Bonus: They Couldn't find a spot for her...

Acid: a short experimental comic

A collection of selected works done for my graphic design class, Fall 2022

Especially within the past few months, I've been trying to establish this website as a platform. Social media and art sites have been getting on my nerves lately (except for Newgrounds. knock on wood). So i figured hey, why not make my own website my own place?...

HELLSPAWN - EVIL PIC! made for halloween last month

Wagoogus - Small character illust. of a grey-headed flying fox... and their bananas... lots of them

Basic concept; In a 22XX, a strange, demonic creature makes its way to a small town. The head of the town's farm, an old robot named Rocket teams up with Io to ward it off.
