I am now a professional illustrator! So come and see what I've been up to!

[Tulip]

Woah, what a wild ride! I've actually been part of the MLP arena for 8 years! And in that time I've loved seeing pony art and the other wonderful drawings that are posted here. Well I've now finished my 3 years at uni and will very soon be presented with a degree in illustration! But considering my final show is now over, I'm calling myself a professional now ;] 

First off, I have a website! Woah cool yeh
KeepdrawingCharlie.com
Where all my super professional stuff is.

So now, onto the art that I've been slaving away at for the past year!

This is Space Bunnies!
'A group of bunnies are surprised to see a rabbit in the night sky, so they zoom into space to explore the moon, and encounter some strange goings on up there!'

Space Bunnies was written and illustrated by myself. I used graphite and watercolours and it took a long long time to make!
I've had 50 copies printed, and a good chunk of them were pre-orders that helped to pay for printing!
More pictures can be seen here!

My second project for the year was another childrens book, although this time aimed at slightly older children-

My Best Friend, Dragon
'Ember and her best friend, Dragon get up to all sorts of shenanigans! But at the end of the day they know they'll be there for each other, because that's what friends are for.'

I kept the style a lot more simpler on this project due to time constraints. The media used are pencil lines and digital colouring.
And this one is totally my favourite drawing!-

And this is a fanart for a PMV editor called MrDeLoop

Oh! And a lilac alpaca and a dwarf camel that were commissioned for a birthday present, something about it being an in joke between two sisters? No clue, but I was more than happy to illustrate it!

Seriously, it was a lot of fun to draw.


So I'll end this art dump with a small 'I'm open for commissions!' Because I'm moving back home and will need to find a job to keep me going and pay for me to move out of my family home and into a place with my boyfriend! Yehh!

Well congratulations, and your illustrations are really cute!  My aunt started out as a children's book/magazine illustrator (although she eventually moved to animation)

[Tulip]

Thank you! And that's really cool! I have a friend who started in illustration, but found her calling was in animation as well. They lend themselves to each other quite well :]

Ember is so lucky, dragons are my dream pet.
(Of course the closest I can get is a bearded dragon or maybe a tegu LOL.)

Love your style!

[CupidStrikes]

Your art is super duper cute! Space Bunnies sounds adorable, too! I really love the colours <3

[baby_gusty]

Wow these are amazing!! Looked at your webpage and those bunnies are the cutest <3
Loooved the second picture on the illustrationpage, the one with a deer and a girl. Have to commission you. PM me if you are interested, I'd love to know what you charge for a picture

[Tulip]

Thank you all for your lovely words!
Hathorcat - It was a lot of fun to do, and the commissioner was so pumped to receive it, she loved it! I hope it made for an amusing birthday xD

Uniu - I should be sending out all my pre-orders next week, so I'll be able to put the left overs on Etsy, so I'll have to update this thread with a link if anyone did want one!

Baby_gusty - That deer and girl design I actually had printed onto lots of t-shirts! Shame no one wants to buy them lol, they've been kicking around for a year!
And I will message you now with my prices :]
