Halloween

at work yesterday we where asked to dress up. this year i went as a zombie and actually managed to get pictures for it... i will have to take pictures of my other costumes sometime. anywho after 8 hours at where i work my make up wasnt perfect however i wanted to get a picture to show you guys. maybe someone at work managed to get a better picture of me... humm.

and i still have my badge on... fun times.

also the back of the skirt which i made myself. i was going to make a top and cut the pieces out for it i just was stupid and forgot to buy the ribbon thati needed to keep said top together... ah well it shall be part of my christmas costume and i think if i can get the blood out i will re use the skirt. and add stuff to it.

happy halloween guys.

mushroom glade (was dancing) wip 6

been a bit stuck with my mushroom glade painting, but hopefully will have gotten over that now. hopefully gonna paint add the colours for the faeries in next before i continue to add depth etc to the background.

quick ditital painting. may continue with this who knows, it was done to work some fustration at the mushroom glade painting

some background sketches. hopefully i will paint these. i dont know if you can actually tell what they are :D but this is how i start my backgrounds so we will see

and i've started my halloween costume for work. luckily the mock up is fitting right now :) which is good. found a sutible skirt patten to work from, still need to draft that but as long as i have a bases it makes it easyer. i need to by a old fashioned shirt and a rivit punch thing which i will buy when i go buy the proper fabric for this. i need to ask my boyfriend to get my sewing machine down and find the foor peddle >_> will look for that later. hoipefully will have a wearable mock up by the weekend :) go fabric shopping on monday and make the real thing tuesday and wednessday. hopefully i will have time to make a petticoat if not i will have to wear several skirts underneath for added poof. we shall see.

this is the top so far its gonna lace up down the sides. i will try and get pictures of me in the costume... sadly i'm camera shy so it may be difficult.

happy drawing/writing/ whatever you guys do

some progress work for my sisters painting which is now named mushroom glade.

dancing work in progress part 2

okay my sisters pic isnt going so well and i wont get it finished in time. damn work *shakes fist* kinda sucks but oh well. this will just have to arrive late.

finished landscape

still playing with levels and what not but this is pretty close to what it looks like. i'm kinda held back by my pc and need to steal my boyfriends to get the best out of my paintings. also i find it best to adjust levels and things in daylight. i might not be able to play with the levels for a couple of days as another painting needs work urgently and will be taking most of my attention.

dancing work in progress part 1

very primitive sketch on where i'm going with this image. still figuring out things and such. for some annoying reason these arnt looking brilliant as there very pixly i think it may be the size... anywho this is the layout i'm going for with my sisters picture.

my sisters birthday

so its my sisters birthday soon, real soon and i'm kinda bad at keeping track of time. so i've only just started pulling reference, figuring out the picture and what not. while i would love to be finished by her birthday, i don't think its going to happen. obviously the time where i need time to work on my art works offering overtime and i'm too poor to say no.

anyway so far i've done a couple of sketches. the concept is faeries dancing in a fairy ring, forest in the background. its going to be fun and something she will hopefully love. my sister likes faeries, she doodles them all day (still trying to convince her that anyone can draw but not succeeding) i used http://mjranum-stock.deviantart.com/ to do these studies. but i think these are going to be my bases for the picture i'm doing. the costume is going to change. i drew this to capture the movement i want in the piece.

still working on this theres a few key bits i want to work on the path, the greenery and the bottom right cliff of the rock with the temple on it... and maybe the bridge, not fully sure on the bridge.

anyway happy drawing.writing/ whatever you guys do

landscape part 5

another update. so wanted to get this done today but the massive headache is preventing me from doing so. dammit. at least the rock in the corners done now. i'm now revisiting the rock with the temple on it. as well thats the main focas and needs to be built up more because of it.

the reason i was hoping to get it finished today is because i need to start a watercolour painting for my sisters birthday. faeries dancing in glad so far for it. she likes faeries and she wanted a fantasy painting done of her self so this is what i'm leaning towards right now. hopefully the tablets will kick in soon so i can work on my landscape. really dont want to have to set it aside to start my sisters birthday present. stupid mum saying i should give my sister a painting for her birthday. i only do it because my sister is my biggist fan and it would make her day. it doesnt help that i'm getting the urge to work on my dragon age comic again. anyway hopefully everything will work out.

watercolour landscape progress - part 4

another update. sadly my camera did a sucky job of caturing thre green wash on the origanal progress photo i took so i took a picture of it again at a bit later in the process as a close up of the rock i'm working on. enjoy.
