Pretty Pictures

Another update and it did not take months! Or at least I don't think so. A couple of pieces that I have finished and somethings I am working on. First up is completed works.

You may recognize the Fairy Dragon, this time in color! Done with oil paints.

Forgive the glare, I did not get a picture of the piece before I framed it for the student show. When it gets pulled off the wall I will retake the picture so it can be seen better.

Now for the incomplete work. Or works in progress. This is a partial self portrait a la steampunk. I have also included a Roman with a jetpack and Toby on a rocket. I will be oil painting it starting this week.

I don't always remember when I owe people things. Fact of my life. I have owed someone a painting for so long. Finally figured out what to do for her. She likes mini dachs so here is what I am working on, also to be done with oils.

Lots of work on the table. And I have to have it all done before the end of the month. Why? Because I have to mail all of my supplies to MA for IMC. Yes, I will be attending IMC (Illustration Master Class) this year (woohoo!!). Wish me luck!

In the meanwhile, hope you enjoy the updates and the pictures.

Quick Update with Sketches

The student show was great. I may not have won anything, but I think my art held its own. The winners were really good. I was just glad Photography got the chance to shine (since they complain so much how they never get noticed). No more complaining! Okay, I can be hopeful. Next year though! I promise to really make them earn their places. Muahahahaha!

I don't have much to show, however that should change relatively soon. My loving and wonderful parents bought me a new camera so I can get to taking quality pictures of my work instead of trying to wrestle with the school's scanners. Thus my paintings will start getting featured as they get done. In the meanwhile, here is a sketch dump for everyone. The ones of the boys are what happens when I get bored during jury duty (no worries I was not sketching during the trial, just during breaks). Enjoy!

A little this. A little that.

Got a couple more pieces done. Or at least in the works. The current project taking up most of my time is designing for my official webpage, which will feature my sketcbook, digital and traditional work, and my official portfolio.
One of the ideas for my web page is this little piece. The original art was done in Photoshop for Drawing and Anatomy and in eight hours was turned into a vector in Illustrator. The font work still needs some work (we all know typography is NOT my strong suite).

Then there is my Steampunk Sacred Heart piece. Done with oil on wood board. It was more of an experiment with clear gesso. Turns out I hate drawing on it but I love painting on it. Real easy to work those kinks out. This will be one of the pieces that will be going in the student show. Wish me luck!
