AJ Artist Tag!

Me: *Dashes in super fast and almost slips and falls*
You Guys: Woah, Swirl, what are you DOING?!
Me: *Pants* Gotta... post...!
You Guys: What's the rush?
Me: *Pants* Stuff... to do... gotta... post... then... do... school stuff... can't... stay up... super late!
You Guys: Wha?
Me: *Takes deep breath* I HAVE STUFF TO DO SO I CAN'T BE ON HERE FOR LIKE 3 HOURS SINCE I HAVE A POSTER TO FINISH FOR ELA CLASS AND I HAVE TO STUDY FOR TWO EXAMS AND I CAN'T STAY UP SUPER SUPER LATE! *finally breathes again*
You Guys: O.O



Ack, sorry for that weird lil' intro guys, but that's how I'm feeling right now! XD!

I do have two exams tomorrow, then more on Tuesday, then even MORE on Wednesday.
And let me tell you, I am NOT prepared for them. AT ALL. Specifically my Spanish one.
Long story short: 100 QUESTIONS.
I kid you not.


But enough of all that school talk- who wants to talk about THAT?!
Instead, how about we get on with the tag?



Alright, so this is the Animal Jam Artist Tag! Let's go ahead and get started!


1. What's your favorite AJ animal to draw?
That'd have to be wolves- arctic and normal! I feel I'm pretty good at drawing them! However, it IS fun to try drawing different animals! I still need to try drawing Kara's hyena sometime!
2. Which animal (in your opinion) is the hardest to draw?
Oooh, that's a good question!
Hmm... I haven't drawn a BUNCH of the animals on AJ, but it looks like the otter would be pretty hard to draw in my style! In fact, I think I've tried drawing an AJ otter before, and it, uh, kinda turned out weird. XD! I mean, their head kinda morphs into their body... it's kinda difficult for me to draw!
3. Which one of your AJ art pieces are you most proud of?

***EDIT***
AHH! I can't believe I ended up posting this without a picture! My apologies- I was playing AJ and got distracted!
Okay, anyways...

I'm assuming this means Masterpieces, and not traditional pieces of AJ animals, so... I'd have to go with this one!
I just love how the whole thing turned out! Although I don't use it too much, that airbrush tool certainly CAN be great for small details like stars!
4. Do you like to draw digitally, traditionally, or on the AJ Art Studio?
Definitely traditionally! The lines are a lot straighter, you can "undo" more than once, and you can choose to make lines EXACTLY how think or thin you want them! Just easier, in my opinion! And plus, like Lost said, art programs are HARD to figure out! At least, they are for me!
5. What's one tip you have for AJ artists?
I'd say try drawing the animals in your own style! If you find it kinda hard to draw AJ animals, just use some of their unique features, like their fur patterns and such, and add them to your own style! Take it from me- it usually makes drawing them a lot easier! :D



Ah, goodness, this post is actually pretty short! Sorry about that guys! I swear I had something else planned to post, but, uh... I forgot what it was. XD! Sorry!
So I guess this is the end of the post! Thanks for patiently waiting for this, guys- XD!
See you all next time! Remember to PARTY HARD, BE CREATIVE, and JAM ON! ;)

  1. Ack 100 questions!? I wish you luck on that one Swirl o,o But I'm sure you'll do great ;)

    Uhm Swirl, for 3 there is no picture XDDD
    I really wish AJHQ would make a thinner brush :/ Ah well, people have been wishing for color pickers sense forever, so it will take AJHQ 20 more years to make a thinner line! XDD
    Gl luck on your tests and school :D

  2. Blog Humbug:

    That moment the first few flakes start falling
    Is the moment before I burst into tears
    'Cause snow in the air means Christmas shopping
    And the thought of it all just stresses me out
    Wo-oh-oe is me
    Wo-oh-oe is me

    Would Tall kinda like this canary bird?
    Or does Cat already own way too many cats?
    I could Koolest her a book and something to draw in
    This is way too much pressure, it's breaking my heart
    Wo-oh-oe is me
    Wo-oh-oe is me

    I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
    But I haven't found it yet
    'Cause I don't have a clue what to get them
    So I'll give them my blog
    I wander around the jamaa again and again
    But all I do is shrug
    'Cause I don't have a clue what to get them
    And I'm ready to say, "Blog humbug"!
    (Blog blog blog blog [x4])

    Blog- blog- blog- blog- blog humbug

    (Blog blog blog [x4])

    Blog- blog- blog- blog- blog


    I could get Snow a gift card for Chicken Smoothie
    But what if reading is way more Lost's thing?
    I don't even know
    Well Vi likes seals, and Trans likes
    Or how 'bout I jump through blogger portal (portal[x4])
    Yeah, how 'bout I jump through blogger portal? (portal [x4])
    Singing 'Joy to the World' face down in a room!

    I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift

    'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
    So I'll give Swirl my albums* I hope it'll do
    *owl city albums

    I wander around the store again and again

    But all I do is shrug
    'Cause I don't have a clue what to get them
    And I'm ready to say

    I'll wrap my blog in paper and sit it under the tree
    'Cause the best gift I can give you is this blog inside a web!

    I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
    But I ain't found it yet!
    'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you (here's my heart)
    So I'll give you my heart, I hope it'll do
    I wander around the store again and again
    But all I do is shrug
    'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
    And I'm 'bout ready to say, "Bah humbug!"

    Ohhhhh! Yay! You did the artist tag! I was hoping you’d do it! :D

    Hehe, as usual, I’ll comment on each answer!

    1. Ohhh man, as you know, any kind of wolf is hard for me. XD Ohh! Same! I really wanna try drawing a hyena. :0
    2. Ohhh, otters! XD Since Koolest is one, I’ve drawn a few in masterpieces. XD It’s interesting. XD
    3. OH THAT GALAXY ONE IS AWESOME!!!!! I really love it!! :D
    4. Yeah, traditionally is really fun but I love AJ art studio a lot too! XD It’s a tie for me!

    1. Yeah, they're not fun, DX! But awww, thank yoou! ;)
      And yep! I'm looking forward to it SO MUCH, XDD!

      Yep- I've been meaning to do it for a while, but I kept forgetting, so your post reminded me to do it, hehe!

      1. XD! Ah, wolves aren't so hard once you figure out how to get everything the correct size! Personally, though, I find drawing the AJ wolves in AJHQ's style REALLY hard- with their long snouts and kinda-hunched backs- so I draw them how I draw any type of wolf! :D
      And yeah- I need to try that over the break! :o
      2. XDD! You do a really good job on otters, actually!!
      3. Hehe, thank yoou! I made it as an Owl City reference to Galaxies, but I didn't add words because I figured it could be used for a lot of other things too!
      4. XD! Well, the AJ Art Studio DOES have different tools you normally can't use IRL!
      AND THERE ARE MASTERPIECES
      SO YAY!
      XDD!
      5. Hehe, yeah, exactly! :D

      THANKS LOSTTTTT!! :D
      AND YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! ONE MORE DAY FOR ME AND TWO FOR YOU! WE CAN DO THIIIIISSS, XDD!

  5. hey so I decided to write a JH spinoff but thought it'd get noticed more in your comment section.

    it's called Merry Kraftmas.

    Twas the afternoon before Christmas
    And in her house
    Kraft was screaming
    For there was a mouse.

    "GET IT AWAY FROM ME! She yelled, throwing chocolate wrappers at it. This was no ordinary mouse. This was an EVIL mouse, come to destroy everything! Kraft had to escape. It just wouldn't go away!
    Then she knew.
    "Oh my saucing cheezits, it came from another dimension!"
    This made perfect logical sense, of course. Kraft quickly began sorting through her dresser, throwing a bunch of crisp packets and scarves onto the floor.
    "aha! My enchanted Flint-a-wotzit!" She held it out in front of her and swung open her wardrobe door. She brushed a few cobwebs off the portal frame, and jumped in.

    The portal hallway was very quiet. A little too quiet, infact.
    "c'mon!Kraft moaned, "there must be some kind of navigation system except the..." Kraft then had a magical brainwave.
    "all I need to do is steal the Atlas, then I can find a dimension to escape from the mouse!" Kraft said, seemingly forgetting that the hallway she was in at this very moment contained no mice whatsoever. She looked down the row of portals and found the one she recognised as the Right One.
    "HERE I GOOOO!!" Kraft screamed. She landed in the Order Hallway with a thud. There was the Atlas! It was so close... But then she heard footsteps coming! Kraft jumped behind a trophy pedestal and tried to not loudly fangirl. When the passers by had gone, she crept out and lifted the Atlas off its pedestal.
    *CLICK CLICK*
    "Oh crabs" Kraft cursed at the ground.
    "JESSE! JESSE THERE'S A THIEF!" The child loudly screamed.
    Kraft ran. She ran all the way to the temple, and jumped back through the portal and into the portal hallway
    (yes to any random passers by who HAVE seen mcsm, I know the portal in the home world doesn't go straight to the network but I cant be bothered)

    "AH!" Kraft was opened the Atlas and started flicking through the pages.
    "chicken dimesion... Carrot dimension... MOTH DIMENSION??" Kraft screamed loudly, continuing to look for the correct portal.
    "BLOGGER PORTAL! Perfect!" She made a beeline for the green portal, screaming Christmas carols as she went.

    "I seriously doubt Kraft is showing up. She probably got distracted by something," Gracie sighed.
    "Nah. She'll make it.." Lost continued setting the table.
    "wait, hold on! Sarah pointed out the window, "there she is!"
    Kraft swung open the door, panting. The atlas fell to the ground as she walked over to the Christmas celebrations.
    "so, so sorry I'm late. I haven't been here in forever... Also I definitely didn't forget the party and only come because of an evil mouse infestation!" Everyone facepalmed.
    (note-I have nothing against mice I actually think they are adorable)

    After everyone exchanged presents, which Kraft apologised about for forgetting to bring any, they all played several rounds of Just Dance. Kraft refused and instead sat panicking about how long it'd take for the Atlas to be stolen.. Speaking of which...

    "it's gone!"

    To Be Continued..

    Ps- The Atlas, for those who are wondering, is a one of a kind magical book used to navigate the portal hallway in mcsm.

    Also I def didn't include so many mcsm references because I'm very salty about it ending :((
