WIP Sailor Saturn ATC
![]() |
WIP - Sailor Saturn ATC |
A Work in progress. I just ordered some more markers late last week, and I think they'll really help me out when it comes to this. So I'm trying to wait for them to get here!
Sailor Saturn was always my favorite as a kid.

Dog
Here's a little bit of artwork for a short comic idea I was working on a few years ago.
It's about a dogless guy (Kevin) who finds a charming lost dog.

I prettied up some of my beading patterns for sale on Sellfy!
They're pretty cheap, so if you're interested, check them out!
If you don't know how to loom bead, I also have a tutorial for sale there.
Bonus: here's a pattern you can have for free.

Sulking Tamaki
I doodled this for fun and cut it out paper child style. I hid it at the Poison and Antidote booth at Otakon, and my sister Maria said that a lot of people pointed it out and liked it! Haha.

ATC: Big Bad Wolf
Just one little update this time!
A cutie pie like this can't possibly be bad. And he doesn't look big, either. Haha.

#5 - "Bob the Squirrel" |

#21 - "Darling Deerling" |

#16 - "Mystery Skulls: Lewis" |
Funny side story: I used to dish out faux-advice for my middle school friends in something we called Ask Dr. Squirrel. I'd give out awful advice in the guise of a cartoon squirrel in response to prompts put in an envelope.

Jigglypuff
After I had to euthanize my first horse, Jezebel, I was very sad. I was unemployed and miserable. I drew this one day to cheer myself up. Jigglypuff has always been my favorite pokemon! I used a bunch of techniques: watercolor pencil, art marker, colored pencil, cheap crayola markers, etc.

One of her more recent outfit revamps. I've since changed her shoes a little and added a new cap |

Early demo title screen |
Penicillin is a reluctant magical nurse girl. She's recruited by Cotton, a sentient puffball, to lead a team of magical nurses in a fight against evil. She has a foul mouth and thinks that this whole magical girl thing is nonsense. That's all for now!

Divinity Complex
One of my pet projects is a card game! Right now it's on hold until October, I can't get it finished in time for Baltimore Comic Con so I want to focus on other things. Here's the concept development for Steve, one of many creation cards. More details on this game later!

Brush Test
Just some doodles testing out a few simple brushes I made.

I was going for something with a more traditional look to it. I'm happy with it, but I don't think I'll use it all that much. I'm on a traditional art kick right now.

ATCs Round 1
Here's some of my ATCs!
Spike there is the first one that I did. So you can blame him for the inundation of ATCs.
I really like Chibiusa. I think she's probably the cutest senshi, and I think that's kind of funny now. I totally hated her as a kid!
Ruze is an OC of mine. More on her later.
The finished copies all have a number and my signature on them, but I scanned these ones before I got around to that. The next batch of scanned cards will all have that visible.
They'll be at Otakon next week, P-11 in the Artist Alley!

Artist Trading Cards
My latest obsession is Artist Trading Cards (ATCs). OK, OK, I'm a little behind the trend. These little buggers started to gain popularity a few years ago. I'd heard of them but never made any of my own. I picked up my first one at Baltimore Comic Con last year, it was a Sailor Moon one by an artist named Emily R. Gillis. I liked that it's an easy way to pick up often one-of-a-kind artworks without breaking the bank.
Just this week, almost a year after purchasing my first, I decided, hey, why not make some of my own? I was about to buy some pre-cut cards when my sister pointed out that she gets high-quality scrap papers from her job at a print shop. So I got them cut down for FREE! Thanks, Maria! Today I finished my 20th ATC.
I'm on fire man, somebody stop me! Some of them will be available at Otakon 2015 next week. Table P-11! (Thanks again, Maria!) Stay tuned for more.

Hey Y'all
My name is Amanda, but I also go by Pook Nero and Pookie Pixels. I'm new to blogger, and probably new to you, although I'm not necessarily new to the internet.
I dabble in a lot of things. I've tried comics, crafts, pixel art, video games...the list goes on and on. I'm not a professional artist. I'm not really a professional anything! I'm more of a Jack-of-all-trades. And I think my previous blogging ventures have been relatively unsuccessful because I've been trying for years to focus on one project at a time.
I have been pitting my interests against each other and limiting myself with nonsense self-imposed rules about where and when I can share my content.
I realize now that wasn't going to work for me. So here I am, breakin' all the rules and ready to start fresh. All my content, all in one place. Welcome to my blog!
