The art and ramblings of a disillusioned idealist. I'm a digital artist, graphic novelist, and UC Berkeley grad with a focus on environmentalism and cyber activism. I've illustrated and authored numerous graphic novels and plushed a few books. I'm currently working on the Axent Wear cat ear headphones that I designed. When I'm not drawing away or dealing with the unpleasant business side of running a headphones company, I enjoy sculpting, hiking, and experimenting with aquaponics. |
I finally got a Patreon after all these years! I was actually pretty scared that I might disappoint people if my hand pain flared up too often and prevented me from drawing, which is why I waited so many years until after I’ve recovered more.
Now that I’m healthier, I’m really excited to be on Patreon
I’ll be sharing a lot of exclusive behind the scene stuff on there, from wip to secret projects and storyboard of my comics. Other rewards include HD files of my paintings and comic panels (without text for max art enjoyment), as well as full painting process videos and even 3D models that you can play with 
Please help support the continuation of my art and comics at www.patreon.com/Yuumei
Thank you!
Activity
I often get people asking for tutorials and are surprised that I have a free tutorial page. This a speedpaint I did years back to make a tutorial showing shortcuts to painting a city background
You can watch the free tutorial for this and many other free tutorials on YuumeiArt.com/tutorials 
Wow can't believe how long it's been since the last time I made an #ArtvsArtist . So much has changed but also stayed the same

<h> DEVIANTART NO LONGER SUPPORTS THE LARGE FILE FORMAT OF MY COMIC AND AUTOMATICALLY SHRINKS IT. YOU CAN READ THE FULL SIZED ONE AT www.yuumeiart.com/fisheye-plac… </h>
DEVIANTART NO LONGER SUPPORTS THE LARGE COMIC FILE AND AUTOMATICALLY SHRINKS IT. YOU CAN READ THE FULL SIZED COMIC ON MY WEBSITE yuumeiart.com/fisheye-placebo
so yeah, I just discovered last night that after diviantART got bought by Wix, they stopped supporting the large display format of my long comic strips. Now they automatically shrink all files to 400 px width from 800. No wonder I was getting complaints from readers, except the readers thought I did this on purpose to force them to pay via Patreon, which is NOT TRUE. You can always read my full sized comics for free on my website no matter what, I would never force people to pay for reading my work.
A new chapter has begun! And now I also have a Discord where I’ll be sharing behind the scenes art, discuss plot, spoilers, and more! The Twatter, Instaspam, Dumbler, and Faceshook accounts seen in this chapter are cameos of Discord members If you want to cameo in Fisheye Placebo, hang around Discord for the next opportunity
If you enjoyed this chapter, please support my comic on Patreon.com/Yuumei

Growing Out
More winter inspired work. Now doing some of my old sketchy anime styles. In other news, I’m aiming to start releasing Knite this month unless something does horribly wrong again (I really hope not)

Deviousness Award
yuumei has been a member of our community for over 10 years, and certainly made her mark throughout the digital art community during this time. Beautifully detailed and carefully matched color palettes make up her distinctive gallery of inspiring artwork. Yuumei's helpful tutorials and comments of encouragement to other artists have helped many artists grow, and therefore we can't think of a better way to recognize such a wonderful deviant than by bestowing the Deviousness Award for October 2013 to yuumei!
