the barbarian, mushroom glades change in direction

first off my barbarian self portrait is compleated all that is left now is to play around with the colours in photoshop and a little bit of clean up. i'm hoping to get that done soon. i'll update once its done

so i went back to the mushroom glade painting. i'm hoping to see my sister next week if shes free. its good to have a deadline :) anywho i have actually been unhappy with this painting for a while. i think some of the changes i have made have improved it, the depth is better at the background foliage, and i still need to fix that depth in places

i'm not happy with the grass under the faeries feet so i am trying out this absorbent ground which acts as magical white out to hopefully fix the problem. we shall see. hopefully i will have an update for it soon :)

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
