MOAR ART added

Art

Just added selected art from 2007-2010 on my art page!

Here’s a quick look at 2009’s entries. But there’s over 65 new images to look at on the art page proper!

Also: please excuse me while I fiddle around with the main menu, it’s not to my satisfaction yet.

 

Frenchie Illustration Test

Art

 

frenchiestexturetest.jpgMy tablet pressure sensitivity died and I didn’t want to restart, hence big ugly lines. Test for my upcoming novella cover, just to see how layering colors and textures work in Krita.

Sunset Spirit Cat Coloring Book Page

Art

Another INKSPIRATION FOR CAT LOVERS coloring book page I colored. One of the few instances where scanning actually improved the image (the original is darker and muddier in the flowers). Art by Robyn Hennoch, whose coloring book can be bought here.

Didn’t expect to stipple the cat, but I think the effect is neat…Just wish I’d thought of it earlier while doing the gradient! D’oh!

Gazellican Dragon Attempts

Art

So for AAAGES I’ve been trying to render these dragons from my supernovel, which have bodies like pelicans but heads like gazelles/antelopes/elands/whatever.

Now I have 2 of these dragons as main characters in my Greatest Nosferatu Love Story of All Time novel. So I really gotta buckle down, you know?

Here are many attempts.
