Most of my work is based on fantasy novels or role-playing games. I enjoy nothing more than creating images for others to bring their characters to life.

Aviary: Creation on the flyHahaha, well, with a headline like "Aviary", and written by an Anthro Gallery Director, I bet you're expecting something Animal-related, but.... Nope!

Believe it or not, this news article is not about birds, but about a lot of tools to create all kinds of art. Are you interested enough already? Then keep reading!!!
Aviary is a suite of web-based applications for people who create: From image editing to typography to music to 3D to video, they have a tool for artists of all genres. And, you know, when they mention "Art", then the deviantART members come to my mind as potential users, since I have never seen a more creative community online, never ever!

Let me tell you a bit more about them, so I can try to lure you to check the place, then maybe tempt you to use those tools, then maybe encourage you to upload more amazing deviations to share your art with us here! ^^

February 2008 - Photography FeatureI'm addicted to deviantART, that's becoming obvious. As much as I love creating my own art, I love seeing what everyone else brings to the table. The art world is vast, and I want to expand my horizons and view as much as possible...
SO,
I've browsed myself to death over the past couple of days for great new art to adore and inspire me, and this is what I found (so far)! Thanks to all of these wonderful photographers for creating such lovely eye candy!!

Enjoy! :]

It has been FAR too long since I updated!!

Not much to report, as most of the folks who are still watching me here have me on facebook as well. I am currently gearing up for UBCon2013 this weekend and in crunch mode to get everything done. Personal life is good, surprisingly enough. I am happy, and verymuch so. I have been lucky enough to have someone come back into my life who reminds me of who I once was and of what it is to be ME again. I am blessed.

I hope that all of you are doing well and that the season/weather is being kind to you. We're still waiting for Spring to finally his western NY and *stay*, but it's coming soon. SO very sick of snow!!

Much love to you all, and many thanks for continuing to watch my account and the work that I post here.

If you are in the Buffalo area, come out to UBCon this weekend at UB North Campus and visit us!
10% discount to anyone who mentions watching me on facebook or here on dA

Artist | Professional | Digital Art

United States

My name is Valarie Nicharico, but most folks call me Vaia as that has been my "name" online and off for over 20 years now.

I am a freelance graphic artist, specializing in character creation for roleplayers, gamers and writers. My passion is being able to bring another person's original characters to life for them be it as a full scene portrait or pinup.

I also create custom wedding invitations & cards, photo retouching and editing, and memorial angel portraits for pets and loved ones.

Commissions are almost always open and everything I do is based on the owners direction. For more information, please visit my blog at [link]

Visiting here for the first time since August, and was mightily impressed and delighted to see a whole bunch of new work on display. Lovely images.

Hang in there with the legal stuff. Been there myself, and it's never pleasant. But it sounds like there's a bit of an increase in your quality of life, so I hope that continues.
