What the heck happened to DA? It's all...sleek-ish? But also kind of confusing? I leave you all alone for a year and a half and you go and turn this site upside down! Wow, it's really been a year and a half. That's so crazy!


Are any of my watchers even still active?


Do ya'll remember me?


Let me reintroduce myself!


Heyo! My name is Aloubell (Aloe for short) and I am a hobbyist digital artist as well as a published children's book author. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, and, thanks to the Lord, my art journey continues! As a Christian, I give full acknowledgement that all success I get from art and life in general is thanks to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I'm proud to say He has helped make each and every art piece of mine possible.


My style is honestly an amalgamation of many styles I've seen over the years, but the most notable influences are: the movie Song of the Sea, the video game Odin Sphere, and anime in general. I love to use bright, vivid colors in my portraits and illustrations. My coloring style may change, but those vivid colors will stay consistent.


It is my dream to be a full time children's book author; to share my illustrations with the world and inspire imagination.


I'm very much still learning how to be better as an artist, so I appreciate your support on my journey!


A year and a half ago, I left DA because I felt like my art wasn't getting any exposure and that the site only favored those who were already famous. I still kind of feel this way, but about a month or two ago, I decided to get serious and pursue art as a career. In order to successfully do that, I need to have my art out there for more audiences to see.


So here I am. Back at my old stomping grounds.


I'm praying that things will be different this next time around, but I guess we'll see! I've drawn well over a hundred pieces since I left...maybe 200 or 300 idk, but I won't upload them all. I'll be uploading my drawings from the beginning of July of this year and will upload every day until I reach my current works.


And if you are interested in my current works, feel free to check out my Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/aloubell/


Thank you all for your support and I look forward to reconnecting with you all! <3

So....
yeah....

Remember how I said that I would give DA until like...July until I made my decision to stay or leave?

Welll....................................................

If we're going to be completely honest here, I technically gave DA roughly 7 years of my art career to try and find out if my page would go anywhere. I've only been back for four days and I'm already low-key regretting it. It's honestly a bit of a chore to upload things to here. I'm also uploading to Twitter, Tumblr, my 3 different Aminos, and Instagram. All of which have a less tedious uploading and sharing system than DA. Not to mention that I see my odds of exposure being better in those places. 

SO...

I think I'm done with DA XD

I'll still check in from time to time to talk to peeps and look at some art/people I watch, but I think I'm done with uploading here. I'm not going to delete my account, but I'm done with adding new content here. It's just not worth the tedium.

I'm most active on instagram, but I'd be happy to see you at those other places too!

Thank you everyone who still follows me and has been so patient with me thus far. But I'm so sure my time on DA is done. 

The art will still live on tho! I pray you'll continue to follow me on my art journey!

Love you all! :iconfatpandaplz: :iconluvluvplz:

PARTY TIME

3 min read
I've graduated from graduate school!!!!!

Guess whose gettin' her Master of Arts degree in *insert subject here*  Natsu and Happy (Thumbs Up) [V1]  

I'm keeping what my degree is in a secret~

But honestly, though, it is seriously by the grace of God that this was made possible. He's helped me this entire way and I can say without a doubt that if God didn't have my back, I would have been in SO much trouble haha

So I know my success is thanks to Him <33

It's good to be back guys! Happy Dance :happybounce: Cheerleader

Hello everyone!

I'm almost done with graduate school! I only have to endure 12 more days and then I'm DONE. Party Hard! We Like To Party! (TF2 Chat Icon) Star Wars Party Hard Icon PARTY HARD 

On May 4th, I plan to rise from the dead on all of my social media accounts including here, Tumblr, Twitter, and my Amino accounts. 

(except Instagram...in which I have been active all along Meowth Look )

I have a WHOLE backlog of art to upload, so expect frequent uploads a week (starting with like...3 a week). 

Now, I am still on the fence on whether or not I'll stay with DA. A lot of things are changing and I'd say not for the better on DA. BUT I'm willing to give it another chance. I'll stick around until July or August to see how things go~

I've also decided to stop posting my story Destiny Song on DA. It will exclusively be uploaded on Wattpad. I will provide links with each new part of the story that is uploaded. I'm trying to create some consistency with my art profiles on social media. If I'm gonna be an art account, it needs to be only art, not literature. Also, I don't get much reader traffic around my parts...so. The story isn't going away! It's just moving~

If you already follow me on Instagram, then you are caught up with my recent art. If you havent been following me, then you'll be getting art from way back in October 2018. So if you wanna see what I've been doing since October, follow me on Instagram. If not, enjoy the flood of art coming your way X3

Welp!

That's all the news for now! I'm grateful that God has gotten me this far and I have hope for a bright future! Natsu and Happy (Thumbs Up) [V1] 

I hope to talk to you all again soon!
