Steampunk Dragon pals SA-WEEEEEEEET

While sculpting some brand new Dragon Pals last week, I got a fun idea..Steampunk Dragons! Sooo excited about these. I have already finished a few and I’ve posted photos of the little mechanical darlings! Each one with their own little style, covered in screws, metal plating and some with bionic terminator eyes Sa-weeeeeeeeet LOL, all handmade out of polymer clay of course :)
Even though I am planning to sculpt as many of these little guys as I can, I will still have a limited amount and I think they will be a big hit at this year’s Dragon Con. Soooo I’m making them a Con exclusive and only the ones that are left will be posted on my Etsy Store after the Con in September…so if you wanna nab one, I’ll have to see you at Dragon Con :)

New Baby Dragon Pals!

Have gotten so much more done this week than last…probably because I didn’t do ANYTHING last week. I have finished a few sweet little Dragon Pals and hopefully will have a few more done this weekend. My husband and I are moving into a new house soon so I’m trying to crank out as many pieces as I can before we have to pack and then deal with house stuff. My goal was to have my inventory just beaming with new work by this time but obviously it’s been a bit slow going, but I’m still determined to reach it by Dragon Con in September.
Anyway since I know everyone just reads this blog for the pictures how about I stop typing and let you get to looking at the Photos :)

Making more Myxies

Hello people! I have been getting a lot of sculpting done this month and have already finished 5 Myxies with one more almost finished. I’m so ecstatic to be sculpting again, I really do enjoy it. My husband and I are currently house shopping so as soon as we find something, most of my time will be spent packing. So while I still have some time, I’m cranking out as many pieces as possible. Have a few great ideas too…Myxies on my list to sculpt include a wolf and owl animal Myxie, a magician Myxie and another steampunk Myxie…Eeep I’m so excited to get started!
So for your enjoyment, I’veposted a few photos of the Myxies I have finished so far. I hope to have them posted for sale on Etsy soon. :)

Thanks for reading and keep checking my blog for updates.

New and improved Store

Hello Friends! I’ve been busy the past few days, I had created two Cafépress stores, one with my newest art and the other was the first store I created so it had all my older art in it. Well I figured why not just have the one store so people could get at all my art all the time…I know, why didn’t I think of it before…it’s so simple right :P
Anyway it was a tedious task but I combined my new store with my old one so I no longer would have two Cafépress Stores floating around. So here is the new and improved store, featuring my Newer and older Art, Enjoy http://www.cafepress.com/mysticreflect

Working on dem Myxies!

So I got a bit of sculpting done last week. I’m hoping to crank out a few more Myxie bodies this week before I start adding clothes but I did do a little painting on two Myxeis in particular because I got excited about them and couldn’t wait to get them done. I still have hair, clothes and a few more accessories to add to them both but I’ve posted some work in progress photos for you all. One is a snail, I totally got the idea for her after I was completely finished sculpting her, the position she was in just made me think of a snail. So I crafted her some polymer clay antennas and a shell, then added the paint, I think she looks pretty awesome. The other one is a Raccoon. I’ve been playing with the idea of making animal Myxies for a while, so the raccoon just seemed like a fun animal to start with. I enjoyed making her so you will be seeing a few more animal ones…I’m thinking the next one will be an Owl Eeeeek I’m excited to start on that one :)

Thanks for reading, keep checking my Blog for updates on my new pieces.

Updating my Stores!

I have been slowly updating Cafépress and Zazzle for the past few weeks, I still have a lot of my art to add to my store but I have listed over half so far. Cafépress is a little easier to post than Zazzle so I have more products available on Cafépress but I am still adding to both sites and hopefully I will have them both completely up to date with all my art this week or next. Please take a look!

Zombies, Zombies Everywhere and not a Brain to Eat

So I have been working on this project for the better half of 9 months but I wasn’t able to tell you lovely people about it because it was a Christmas present for my husband and he reads my blogs…go figure.
A few years ago he had an idea for a Zombie comic book and he just so happened to know an artist :D so I volunteered to illustrate it for him. Well at that time we had so much going on…i.e. we were planning a wedding…no big thing right? LOL So needless to say the comic book project got pushed to the bottom of the priority list. Well assuming that my hubby had pretty much forgotten about it or just decided it wouldn’t ever get done rather, I thought it would be nice to try and finish it for him, at least the 1st issue. Sneakily I sketched away at the panels the whole time trying to keep it a secret…which I am normally SOOOO bad at and after 9 LONG months I completed his book. Yeah I know that is a long time for a 20 page comic book and if I had an agent he would’ve been all over my case about taking too long but my excuses are as follows…1, I’m not very good at drawing the male form, gross stuff like, oh I don’t know ZOMBIES or mechanical things such as guns and this book was just slap full of that stuff. And 2, I was having to only work on it when my husband was not around, and since we reside in the same house…it was a chore. Anyhoo I was able to complete the book and have it printed in time to present it to him on Christmas morn…Yes, he loved it :)
But now that the gift has been given I've posted a few sneak peek photos for you all…Just a few of the sketches, the cover and some panels. What do you think?
