Punk Angel

Here’s just a fun doodle I did. The concept is loosely based on a costume my sister wore to Dragon Con a few years ago (her top wasn’t quite so tiny :P).

No idea why her outfit popped into my head last night, but I remember she looked so stinkin cute, I just had to draw it :D

For now I’m calling it “Punk Angel” but that title may change.

Working hard on some new Myxie Sculptures for Dragon Con coming up in September, I’ll post photos as I go along, so keep checking my blog and FB.

Thanks for reading!

This ought to Cool things off...

It has gotten a bit chili here in the South. The weather is just tricking us though, I’m sure it will get back to the blazing heat of summer in no time. But the cool days got me in the mood to make a Cool Myxie. Clear Beads give an icy touch to her wings and the frost covering her body is a nice mixture of glitter (YAY, love me some glitter) and liquid Sculpey. I’ve been calling her Winter Slumber, I think it has a nice ring to it.

I have some really fun Myxies planned this month and I will keep posting photos as I finish them so keep checking my blog.

The Great Pretender

I can not believe I forgot about these two little darlings…maybe because they are smaller than their Myxie sisters. Just added my Angel and her little Pretender pal to Etsy. These two go together but if you want one more than the other, they are sold separately :)

The Angel on my Shoulder is a Devil!

Here are my last two Myxies until after Dragon Con…Haven’t come up with a good name for then yet so I’ve just been calling it The Angel and the Faker. One is a devious little pretender. Her fake wings and halo don’t completely hide her red horns and tail so she isn’t fooling her Angel acquaintance.
These two are slightly smaller than my recent Myxies, they are closer to the size of my season two Myxies, reaching only about 3 inches.
So what do you think of the little scene I’ve created?

Thanks for reading!

With a Little Steampunk Thrown in

Hey Art Fans!
I got a few more Scratch Art for you to check out today. These are a few I finished last month but just now had time to post them. I know…LAZY! But I’ve been really busy preparing for Dragon Con…and By the Way…It’s ONLY like a week away! It came up So fast. Oh well enough of the excuses and complaints, on to the Scratch Art :)
Okay this first one was a lot of fun. Inspired by a Compass, obviously, with a little steampunk thrown in. “Compass Rose”
I currently have no title for the Angel one… calling it “Angle” just seemed Blahhhh.
The playing card one “Lady Luck”, was interesting to try and think up different images for the playing cards. I had to keep them simple so they would look right with the Scratch art but also didn’t want them to be too plan.

Hopefully I will be able to post more of the art that will be on display at Dragon Con but since I only have about a week left…..we’ll see.

Look Ma, NO HANDS!

Hello Friends!

Yes I know, I haven’t been posting anything for you recently but I’ve been busy…or as most people call it lazy. But so you don’t think I have abandoned you I have been working on a brand new picture that I finished last night and made sure to have it ready to post today. Ya know it’s just cause I love you so much :)
Anyhoo about the picture. So I usually sketch a picture on paper, ink it and then scan it into the computer to add the color. With this one I actually started it in MS Paint Brush…then transferred it to PhotoShop, yep pencil never touched paper with this bad boy…Don’t know why, probably because I was drawing it at work and it is easier to look busy when working on the computer :D Not sure why I found that little tidbit so fascinating, but I’ve shared it with you all and I hope you enjoyed it.
Whelp on to the main event, I call it Wounded Angel for now, I’m still thinking about that title.
Let me know what you think.

And the Folks Like Me on the Job from Nine to Five

Ugh I have not done a thing this week as far as my art goes. When I work so hard on it for weeks and then just stop I feel so guilty. Things at my 9-5 have just been so hectic and with the holiday this weekend I was just so worn out. I really only have a few hours after work for my art anyway. Sometimes after coming home through the traffic…you all know…all I feel like doing is flopping down on the couch and watching TV. I have so much I want to get done before Dragon Con but at the rate I am going right now I’m not going to get very close. It would be easier if I had a full day to work on my art but what are you gonna do…you gotta pay them bills am I right.
Anyway let me tell you a bit of what I plan to work on tonight…cause I know you are all dying to hear all about it :)
I have been working on coloring a new picture in PhotoShop. It is of an Angel in front of a Stain glass window. It’s almost completely done I just can’t figure out what I want the stain glass to look like. I was thinking I would make a scene behind her on the glass instead of just splashes of color but I’m having a hard time figuring out what to put. Ugh if you can’t tell from all my other blogs…I have a lot of issues with backgrounds. Ay Me, it’s my cross to bear.
But tonight, I’m hoping I can figure it out and finish the picture Finally. If all goes according to plan I will have a brand new picture to show you next week….I said IF.

Okay well I have a lot to get done so Stop distracting me :P
Talk to ya later!

Can't Think of a Good Name for This Blog

Man, I have been working my fingers to the bone this month. I’m trying to get a head start on the pile of work I want to get done before Dragon Con. I have so much to do but I think I’m making progress. I’ve finished up a few paintings, some scratch art and I’ve been working on coloring my newer drawings in PhotoShop. I posted a couple a few days ago that I finished last week and I’m going to try to keep posting them as I finish them.
On this picture I was trying to make it look a little more anime-ish then what I usually draw. I’m not sure if it came out that way but I think it looks good anyhow. I don’t have an official title yet but for now I just call it Angel. It took me about 4-5 hours to color in PhotoShop.
