❤ New pattern, and in 2 color schemes! 

By far the most ambitious character pattern I’ve done, so I hope you all like it! :) It’s also up on my shops on Redbubble and Society6. (Sort by recent/newest to see them!)

Exclusively on Redbubble, these are available as individual stickers for each character, too!!

And, by request, you can find some phone and desktop wallpapers here.

The wallpapers are free, so if you use them please do consider making a donation to my ko-fi account, I’d be really grateful.   ❤

COMMISSIONS ARE CLOSED!

Holy cow guys I did not expect such an overwhelming response! My slots filled up super quick and now I have plenty of work to get to. 

I’ll reopen as soon as I’m done with the ones I have but thank you so much for all your interest!

My tribute to Wishes, 2 weeks before its last show on May 11, 2017. This show means the world to me, and I had to bid farewell in a proper way. Thank you, Wishes, for all the magic, the laughter and the tears, and for teaching me to do as dreamers do. May all your wishes come true!

This design is available in my shops here and here as shirts, phone cases, prints and more. 

If you purchase anything of this piece from my shops and take it with you to the parks, PLEASE send me pictures!! I’d love to see!

Hola. Amo tus dibujos, donde podria estudiar o el nombre de la carrera para dibujar asi. No me interesa mucho la animación pero si el Diseño de Personajes. Saludos desde Yucatán. :D

Hola!! Yo de hecho estoy estudiando Animación, la verdad no conozco universidades que manejen carreras exclusivamente de ilustración o diseño de personajes, por lo menos no en México :/ Pero casi todos los programas de animación incluyen clases de diseño! Ojalá encuentres algo, mucha suerte!

Hi! Your artwork is amazing and I love all your Star Wars pieces! :D Out of curiosity, I was wondering why you have two stores. I want to buy one of your shirts but I'm not too sure which store to buy it from.
marianaavilal answered,

I do! It’s really up to you, each store carries slightly different styles of apparel, very basic pieces in both. Plus if you’re interested in other products, I feel like society6 has a little more variety! But like I said it’s mostly up to you! If you do purchase anything, thank you so much in advance I really appreciate it!!

¿Puedo usar a tu arte como icon?
marianaavilal answered,

claro que sí! Y gracias por preguntarme :)

I realize it may seem like I’m incapable of drawing anything other than star wars ladies, but with the whole Forces of Destiny announcement I’m waaay too hyped! Also, this one does include Hera since so many of you were upset the last one didn’t

Hi! I just find your blog and fall in love with your art, i want to know what program do you use and brushes? (Sorry for the bad english, my first language is spanish Dx)
marianaavilal answered,

Hola!! Tu inglés es excelente no te preocupes jajaja :) uso photoshop para mis dibujos siempre, y de brushes uso el megapack de Kyle T Webster y los character brushes de Mingjue Helen Chen! (No puedo vincularlos porque estoy en móvil pero si lo buscas así en google deben salirte).

Saludos!

Do you recommend Redbubble?
marianaavilal answered,

Yeah I do, I mean you make some nice side-money, of course it’s not a fraction as much as you’d make selling the stuff you make on your own or someplace like etsy, but when you don’t have the ability or resources to do that, it’s a great choice! Also I think it’s a friendlier interface that society6, when uploading your images you can easily control how they look on different products, whereas society6 requires you to save the same image in a bunch of different sizes to upload on different products, it’s kind of a mess.
