I'm not picky. You can give me anything when it comes to prints! :eager:

But when it comes to devWEAR it has to be either small or medium. :B

Alexandra
Artist | Digital Art
Australia



Hello there!

My name is Alexandra and I live in Brisbane, Australia. I'm your friendly neighborhood Mentor and Fan Art Community Volunteer. If you have any questions, concerns, projects, contest or just want to chat, feel free to contact me via note! :)

In my free time, I draw, paint digitally, browse deviantART, watch anime and cartoons, take photos and laze about. Oh and I'm a big Pokémon geek as you may or may not have noticed.

My dream is to become a children's book illustrator, but I still have lots of room for improvement in that department. Someday I'll make this happen though.

I joined deviantART back in June 2003 to share my Pokémon fanart with other people, but as time passed by, I branched out and started working on other stuff, especially photography and illustration.

Tumblr and 4 Color Rebellion

Wed May 16, 2012, 4:09 AM


Hey everyone!

It's been a while since my last journal, hasn't it?

Anyway, I wanted to share a couple of personal things.  First, I made a new Tumblr blog. My old one will be solely focused on posting sketches, WIPs and finished pieces of my own art, as well as any other art related posts I consider appropriate for it.  The new one will contain rants, reblogs of things I find funny/like and other things not related to my own art.

You can follow me on:

Alexandra's Art and/or Kasumi's Corner.


20 Days of Kirby


The gaming blog 4 Color Rebellion has posted a tribute to Kirby to celebrate its 20th anniversary. The blog post called 20 Days of Kirby shows different artists who contributed with fan art and a few words about the adorable video games hero.   I had the pleasure to draw a little something for it, which most of you have seen by now:



Head to the blog post (linked above) and check out all the entries!  Mine is Day 12. :)


Fan Art Features






DD Suggestions Guidelines



Hello my lovely mudkips, Fan Artists and Fan Art enthusiasts! I'm your resident Fan Art Gallery Community Volunteer along with my partner in crime, ^0JennxYukina0. :love:.

One of the privileges I've been given is to choose Daily Deviations be it by finding them by myself or via suggestions. So here's the basic guidelines to send me yours:

:bulletgreen: Send your suggestions to me ^KasumiCR in a note with 1 to 5 suggestions max! Also, please add thumbs instead of links. Remember, a picture says a thousand words!

:bulletgreen: Remember to send your suggestion notes to only one Community Volunteer at a time. That way you'll save us confusion and misunderstandings.

:bulletgreen: Adding a brief description of why you think the piece deserves a DD is not mandatory, but much appreciated.

:bulletgreen: I do accept self suggestions, but remember to give me a good reason as to why I should give your piece a DD. ;)

:bulletgreen: Quality of art: When sending a Fan Art suggestions, please bear in mind that I want to feature unique works. The best of a fanartist's gallery. What I look for in a Fan Art Daily Deviation is not cuteness. Cute just doesn't cut it, like ^Lyricanna said. I search for emotions, technical skill (composition, shading, colour, etc), interaction of the characters with their surroundings and other characters. I'm looking for pieces that tell me a story and/or show emotion. Of course, there are cute pieces that can show that, but if you're going to send me Twilight Sparkle staring into nothingness, it's not going to get featured.

:bulletgreen: Copies of official art or screenshots: I'm not talking about direct traces, but pieces that have been "eyeballed" from said sources. They're good for practicing purposes, but as I said above I'd rather feature a fanartist interpretation of their fandom of choice.

:bulletgreen: Old fan art: Another thing I've noticed is that people send me old works from time to time. Things that were uploaded back in 2004-2008 (or older). I have no problems featuring old work, but if you find something from 2008 or far back that you think it's good... why don't you look at the rest of that gallery and see how much progress the artist has achieved? I'm pretty sure you'd be able to find much better art in their recent submissions. Just look at it this way: would you rather have a DD with an old piece from your gallery or a DD with a newer piece that you believe shows your growth as an artist over the years?

:bulletgreen: Don't suggest pieces from artists who have received a DD in the past SIX months. On that same token, I wont feature anyone with more than 2 DDs.

:bulletgreen: I can only feature Fan Art and Fan Fictions (which is under the Fan Art Gallery), so make sure your suggestions belong to the proper Fan Art category. :heart:

:bulletgreen: While I will give preference to less known artists , that doesn't mean I'm not open to feature pieces from "popular" artists, as long as I consider the piece to be worthy enough of the feature (keep in mind that this is the exception to the rule). :) However, I will NOT feature works who have received more than 1200 favorites at the time I read the note.

So that's it. Pretty simple, huh? Feel free to send me your suggestions. While I might not reply to all your notes, that doesn't mean I don't appreciate your efforts and dedication to the Fan Art Community. :heart:

Oh! And before I forget, here's a few links of interest:
