Welcome to Sayna's art gallery! A little bit about my art, just in case you wondered ;) I created this style .. pretty much on my own. I've studied the way real animals move and communicate for many years, I know some of how they run, fight, and express happiness/fear/aggression. It took a lot of practice to fuse these behaviors with human emotions and movements, not to mention anatomy, and I'm still working on this.

I believe in the saying 'Less is More' with my art, and as you will notice, I don't bother to give different species differing muzzles or head shapes. It's all in the ears, teeth, tail, whiskers, and markings. I use both hair and whiskers (something I've not seen a ton of, the two in one place) I'm somewhere between realistic and cartooned. *shrug*

At this time I'm really working on action scenes, odd poses, and scenery. I can draw basically any Redwall animal (though reptiles are on the practice list) :P

My media is colored pencils and some GIMP effects, I always fool with the pictures to make the colors brighter than they are, and add backgrounds. You'll find some watercolors here, also some mixed-media and even oil pastel, but those will be labeled as what they are. All the rest are sketched in writing pencil, inked with ball-point pen, and colored with whatever pencils I have at the moment (it varies) highlights in the eyes are made by a white jell pen, which is why I sometimes forget to add them ..

Art requests are open, art trades are open

I will draw your character in my style, so if you want subtle changes made (such as the absence of hair on females) please specify or I will automatically draw it, as it is a habit for me ;P Also, if you don't want a GIMP background, please specify. If you do want one and want it to look like something (a certain color or pattern) tell me, and I'll do my best. Otherwise I'll likely just pick what I think goes with it ;)

As for drawn backgrounds like I'm experimenting with now, (like 'Accused; The Veil is Torn') I'm not very good with them right now so I'm not going to offer them in request yet. Because I really have no idea what the quality would be :P I'll tell you when I feel confident enough to include this option ;3

I'll normally do requests in pencil, but I might surprise you .. you never can tell, can you? ;) If you would like a different media, specify, though it might take longer than usual. A pencil drawing might take me a couple hours if I put my mind to it, but a mixed-media will need sketched, transferred to a painted wash background, colored and shaded in pastel and pencil. So just a longer process ;3 I should take roughly a week, depending on how many characters and all, and my inspiration. Sometimes I run over, sometimes I'm way under (like a day or something) So yea, ask away. I take them back to back. ;D

Art others have made for me :)
Sayna_vs_Roderick.jpg, chapter 27, by Sayna. I always wanted to draw this scene, so I did!

This is from Tess I love it! Nice action shot :D (those are always hard, so I'm really honored someone drew one for me! ^^]]





[[File:Happy_Birthday!.png|thumb|Happy Birthday SaynaSLuke!

Anyhow, yep, this is my character, Riah, giving a lopsided cake to Sayna (representing the fact that Riah is not a skilled cook.) As a birthday gift and comment. I tried my hardest, even if the artwork is... Faulty XD

This is from Illusion, and I love it! Thanks so much! *hugs* XD]]
