KISSES

A dumb thing I made in 30 minutes to make up for not being around at all on Valentines Day.

 

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf.

Oh Man Some Characters

Been crazy busy with schoolin's. Here are some character designs I've been working on for a re-visualization of Robin Hood set in 13th century Russia.

This is the Sheriff of Knottingham and the Kobold Hodekin who helps the Robin Hood character (named Leonid) in the woods. Hodekin is a German creature summoned by a young Sergei (The Sheriff) and forced to live in Russia against his will.

Neither of these are on style and both will be revisited/revised. they are also both far too heavily detailed and need to be simplified. Work work work...

Here are some Hodekin designs I discarded.

Here are the main characters.

Leonid/Robin Hood is still a WIP- I need to work on his face a bit more... clean him up.

Here are the last few characters.

Sveta the Wolverine pet of Marina/Maid Marian:

 I am going to give her a jeweled collar.

And, for comedic relief, Much, the Miller's Son who idolizes and emulates Leonid in everything he does and is constantly getting himself into scrapes:

This is my third re-do of Much and I think I finally got it nailed down.

Now I have to choose one characters to do a turn-around and sculpture of! Yay!

Hot Air Balloon

Another warm-up painting.

Gold gel pen, whoohoo!

Next warm-up piece may have multi-media. I'm trying to expand my horizons right now. I'm messing around with patterns and adding some new elements like 3D pieces to things now.

Meanwhile, I have 6-9 unfinished paintings on a larger scale for various people/projects I'm doddering through (most have just had their colors worked out). I'm taking a page out of a friend's book (quite literally) and building a "process book" which is a sketchbook with mutlimedia paper where I plot out each project from start to finish and have it all in one place instead of having a few things here, a color study there, some swatches pasted to the wall...

It's a novel idea to me but appeals to my need for simplicity.

School has begun which means more posts for you! I'm pretty stoked.

Fox Again

Messing around with the colors for the fox painting. This is closer to what I wanted. I'll have to repaint it.

A Post With Birds

So here is the painting I did for my boyfriend's parents (Angry Birds fans) for Christmas:

And here is a bird I painted for fun and also trying to come up with ideas for thank-you cards.

Productivity has slowed to a crawl with job-work being extra demanding and holidays and everything. Still working but I have about 6 unfinished pieces I'm in the middle of.

Winter Fox

I painted this for my folks but I'm not entirely happy with the final outcome. I'll probably do it again just to try and get it right. Maybe I'll make this into a card.

Hm. Looks like it scanned a little fuzzy. Bah.

Thank You Kitty

A thank-you painting for my Aunt who sent me a care package. I have a lot of things to mail. Where is a post office!? Augh!

 

I am making a few more of this same image with small changes to sell prints of. You wanna kitty?
