Some original works


Alriiiight a break from fanart, here's the real stuff. This is a little sketchdraft for a cover I'd like to do for one of my recently revived stories, 9 Ways to Die. The story is that a feline criminal, Felicity, has 9 lives and is raiding the city, and a young man with sharp deduction skills is on her trail. He's rejected by the police to work on her case, but soon finds a group of other rejects working much faster on following her.
The catch? This girl can only die if she's killed by something completely different than whatever happened in her last death. So far, bullets are the only proven death, the rest need to be figured out!

Sailor Venus



Sailor Venus is probably my favorite of the scouts/senshi to draw, she's just so silly and fun, and I love her long blonde hair!

Sidewalk Arts Festival 2010

So today was the annual Sidewalk Arts Festival hosted by SCAD and I decided to participate since I went to look last year and it seemed like great fun! It unfortunately rained but worked to our advantage, since we could smudge on the wet sidewalk and make our art look like paint (although some people bring water and do that regardless.)

Mine definitely isn't as stellar than the others but I think it came out nice for a first-timer in using chalk this way. It's difficult to do the fine details with such thick pieces! But I made do with what I had. Noooot happy with Harley's hand. Ugh haha.

So here it is, along with what I initially planned to do:

Obligatory Introduction Post


Helloooo. My name is April but I'm commonly known on the world of the internet as Tamao, which is my DeviantArt username. Please check out my work there, the bulk of my art is posted there, and this place will contain sketches, ideas, and art-related rambles :)
I do A LOT of fanart and I just do a lot of sketches in general, some go to completion, others stay in this stage, so there's going to be a lot of in-progress stuff going up here. I'm essentially into visual storytelling so it's all comics, storyboards, character designs, environments, animation, etc etc...
Thanks for stopping by!!!
