Wanted to post this before I started on some assessment work. The feather is tiny, only about 11cm long.

I'm back from my uni field trip and I'm utterly exhausted...Way too much walking around/hiking in crazy heat and scorching sun, but I got a lot out of it. Expect less vagueness once I can be bothered.

Goodbye tiger! Here's to hoping the rabbit will treat you all well. I was going to put up a drawing of a rabbit, before realizing that I tend to group ( Read more... )

Ok, I'm rather excited about this piece, mainly because it was a huge experiment. I tried to mix ink gel pens with solid acrylic colors and the result was rather pleasing, so a series was spawned and this piece is the beginning of it. So far, almost all resulting work has been done on A5 water paint paper, but if larger sizes are required for ( Read more... )

Jeyran's commission! This was a Christmas gift for her aunt :3

Ok, so this was my first ever scenic commission, meaning it's the first time I had to deal with proper perspective, ratio and colors. It was my first acrylic on canvas commission too, and it was not small >.> The canvas was stretched cotton over a wooden frame and about A3 in size. Took ( Read more... )

Had a lot of fun with this piece, mainly because the whole idea of dreams (especially lucid dreaming) fascinates me. For some strange reason, I always think of Koi fish when I think of dreams, and so when I go to put that state of mind on paper, schools of fish are almost always the result. I try not to deeply analyze it.

Materials: Gel ink pens, ( Read more... )

My wisdom teeth have made peace with my gums. Yay! But apparently it's one pain traded in for another...the muscles around the metacarpal bones of my left hand are killing me, and I've no clue why. Good thing it's not my right hand I guess...

Long weekend is over, and I'm feeling pretty depressed. I have about 15 days to finish all my assessments, ( Read more... )

Because really, that first horse I did was a horror ^^;

Done with proper ACRYLICS this time! This is actually the second try, since the first (a bird) was an utter disaster. This is an arctic fox, though the snout might possibly be a little too long...? Dunno, adding details with acrylic on a feather is damn hard. I discovered another issue to add ( Read more... )

I'm neck deep in assessments and reports, but I'm so scatter-brained I can't even get through half of my study load at any given night. Of course, as expected, my muse has woken up from its nap and now I've got ideas leaking out of my ears. There's nothing worse than jumble of emotions I'm bombarded with when I'm creating something beautiful in my ( Read more... )

Well, it's actually the original drawing on which my doodle was based on...

Just so that we're all on the same page: On Saturday Myra and I attended the SMASH anime convention held at Townhall. We wanted to find out more about original artists and their stalls/art/prints since it's likely we'll be holding our own stall next year. There was also a ( Read more... )

Or so they say.

Remember that whale watching trip we booked for my birthday back in June? Remember how we didn't end up going because the company had overbooked and the vessel was holding more people than live jackets? Well, the free tickets we got, we booked for two weeks ago. We all gathered early on, and at Darling Harbour instead of the Quay ( Read more... )
