So, uh... y'all hear about this new show?
This is the first time I’ve realized I haven’t posted this WHILE I’VE BEEN HOME TO DO SO. This was the cover for the I Am A Pearl mini zine series, “Blue Pearl” edition, front and back. 40 hours of work and I never bothered to post it! 😂 WELL ANYWAY HERE IT IS, GAZE UPON IT’s BEAUTY OR WHATEVER. Back to ghosting this account for months at a time~
Everyone freaking out about the theme change, and I'm so confused
Turns out I'm the monster that always has light theme on 😂
Throwing put a little Inktober! You know me, throw out some art and disappear for 10 months~
Red Son, Mei, and MK from Monkie Kid as cute widdle jester clowns! Cuz they're easy to draw 😂💛
I SWEAR I’M NOT DEAD, I’M JUST MAKIN ART QUIETLY. ALONE. IN MY BASEMENT WHERE NO ONE CAN SEE ME.
Anyway, yes, Monkie Kid is my newest obsession, still, and I will be selling this as a flat print at future conventions! Including the one I’ll be at this weekend, Salt Lake Animation Expo! It would be cool to see y’all there, come say hi!
Valentine’s commission for @quirky-middle-child! A little funky in some places, but I’m super happy with the colors <3
Happy Valentine’s to @azelforest-art-corner ! Fang and Red Son are... definitely my OTP <3
It’s that time of year again!
Time for me to hold a $10 Sketch Sale!
It’s the holidays once more, and once more I find myself out of a job, in between Freelance jobs, and needing some money for Christmas. So I am holding a temporary sale (now through Dec. 23) of sketches, Line art, and Flat Colors!
$10/sketch/character $25/Line Art/character $50/Flat Color (+20/character)
I take Venmo and PayPal. (Prefer Venmo)
Send me a message to commission me, and I’ll get back asap! and Happy Holidays!

AN UPDATE!
Just want to let you all know that after some delays at the printer because of mechanical problems, ALL THE ZINES AND MERCH ARE FINALLY HERE!!! So for the next little while my living room will be shipping central.
I'll keep updating throughout this process, so keep watching this space.
If you missed your chance to preorder, don't worry! The preorder site will reopen with limited numbers of overstock once shipping is complete.
Thanks again to everyone who ordered for your support, your enthusiasm, and your patience!
And, while I’m at it, I suppose I should keep uploading the other Art Fights I’ve done this year!
The first one, Ester J. Howard, belongs to voidtech
The second, Pinkadot, belongs to iinterstellar
and the third one, Yu Hua (ft. Sun Wukong), belongs to klutzyclown!
art by me, obviously! My art fight is PreposterousBirb! I’m team Steampunk!
Art Fight I did for @azelforest-art-corner!! This took TOO LONG, but was so heckin’ worth it! It’s her characters, Fang and Jun, of whom I love.
help me this got out of hand, it was supposed to be 4 frames! But Jun has 18 frames (per layer), and Fang has 21 frames (per layer!). Too much work, I need to stop animating big stuff like this in photoshop ^^;

Hundreds of Pearls Trading Cards Project
So, as you can see from all my recent posts, over the summer I headed a huge project I never thought I would ever take on: Trading Cards! The @hundredsofpearls-zine was kicking off to a great start, and I had been chosen as a sticker artist! Hooray! It was so neat to see all of these fans of Steven Universe come together to create a Zine dedicated solely to Pearls, and Fan Pearls alike. There was so much information, and so much diversity among people’s OCs.
So I got to thinking: Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a trading card set dedicated to all of them? It was just a joke! That would be crazy, how could we even pull that off?
But then my hand slipped, and I made the first draft of a trading card template, and we were off!
Originally meant to be for members and fans to make their own digital trading card for their own Pearls, the idea spiraled out of control, until I was making mock-ups for canon pearls as well!
It was easy to make a mock up, of course. But translating it into different color pallets was a challenge. Making everything legible on different backgrounds required a lot of fenagling. The information needed to be rearranged as well. So what started as a simple “fill in the blank” template soon became my biggest graphic design challenge of 2020! Through a lot of input and help from other creators in the Hundreds of Pearls community, I solidified the new trading card look.
These were not the final product either. Illustrators from the community made original art for each canon pearl, just like there were original illustrators for each Fan Pearl.
So the final result was this template:
Each card would feature the Name, Era, Pronouns, Gem Placement and image of their gem, their Specialities, and a small about section. On the very left middle of the card is a tiny emblem that says “Series 1″, a detail that emulates the Pokemon cards that inspired me to make these; and at the very bottom of each card would name the Illustrator and the number of each pearl (1-92 on the Fan Pearls, and 1-8 on the Canon Pearls).
A new color pallet was added for the Canon Pearls that didn’t fit into White, Yellow, Blue, or Pink Diamond’s courts (this is my favorite template of them all):
Here is how the 8 Canon Pearl trading cards came out! (note: none of these illustrations are mine. All of my illustrations can be found back on my blog @preposterousmissbradley):
Due to circumstances beyond the moderators’ control, budget issues arose, and instead of printing at full size, 2.48″x3.46″, the Hundreds of Pearls trading card set ended up being printed much smaller (Closer to the size of business cards). Unfortunately, many details were lost due to the downsize. While this was a disappointment, this did not ruin the whole project. Dozens of artists still came together to make a wonderful masterpiece, and we still got physical cards out of the deal!
All in all, I never thought I would make a trading card deck, but it is not an experience I would trade for anything! 10/10, would do again!
