My Bio
Riki XD will one day be a world famous comic book artist. For now, she puts her illustration degree to work, designing book covers, creating portraits, and drawing as much as she can. When she isn’t drawing, she performs extensive ‘research’ by reading a variety of comics, both on paper and on the web. The rest of her time is spent playing video games, or baking delicious sweet treats.

Hey everyone! In order to keep everything consistent, I've created a new dA account! dA username: RikiXD page: http://rikixd.deviantart.com/ I haven't moved over any art yet, but I'll have it all completely set up by Thursday. For now, you can head over for a look at a painting that I just finished for my sister's birthday :D! I won't be using this page anymore, so make sure to watch the new page for all my updates. Thanks for watching!

Hello dA! I know that my updates have been sparse as it is, but I am finally officially taking a 2 month hiatus. Working retail during this time of year is stressful, tiring, and quite frankly burning me out. Getting around 35-40 hours a week doesn't help either. (Well, it helps my wallet, but not my health lol. Or my time to do art) I'm going to use this time to also give my website, blog, and this page a common theme and branding. Although I did make a branding as part of my senior project, it is not nearly as professional as I would like. It looks very much like something that was done in school. My portfolio definitely needs work as wel

Found an awesome tutorial for making your own sketchbook and decided to give it a try, with much success: http://danidraws.com/2007/09/19/make-your-own-sketchbook/ Super economical, pretty straightforward, and very customizable. I'm excited to make more! That's about it on the art front for now. I've still in the brainstorming/research/really rough sketches phases of my other projects, but they are FINALLY moving somewhere =). Work's been crazy with the holidays approaching, but i'll make sure to post things as I finish them. =) Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Welcome to our group! Feel free to upload works you're proud of, and don't forget to read the rules and guidelines! WELCOME!!!
Thank you!

I submitted a few works, however, I accidentally submitted them to the digital art category instead of the traditional art one (I didn't realize there were different categories until it was too late). Can you move those over for me or do I have to just reupload another day?
Sure no problem, which ones?
Actually all of them should be traditional art. I think I uploaded 5?
Thanks for the fave, Miss Riki! : D
Whoa, holy crap!!! Thanks for the premium membership, Riki! :D
Thanks for the watch, Riki! Back atcha! :D
