Out of Order - Back soon with art! And he's a quick scribble of me after getting my wisdom teeth out on Friday! Hopefully I'll be back to my weekly updates soon. Ta!

I finally got back to this background that I started OH so long ago - cleaned it up in flash, then colouring it in Photoshop for a change (not done yet!). Still some stuff to be worked on, but again, it's good to finally get back to background painting in a more serious way. I'm still not a big fan of making layouts - but I want to have a nice balance between my character work and background work. That way, maybe one day I'll finish something!

But I'm getting better about finishing things, right? There's more colour on my blog now!

Salvaged background! I did have to re-do some stuff, but I'm pretty happywith the way it turned out - again its the first layout i've done in a long, long time. So yes, I am easily pleased. I even went so far as to doing a night version! I might play around with some light texture, but maybe I'll just move on to my next project, whatever it may be.

Junk drop! I've sort of stalled in my work right now, because I got cold and lethargic. OH and flash hates me. I'm working on salvaging what I can from my background, which is coming along but it's slow work. Anyways, here's a halloween treat to tide you over. Bleh!

First corrupt Flash file. Ever. I've been working in flash for a few years now, and today I was working on a background (sort of a little red riding hood thing) and disaster struck. So, RIP background! It was fun while it lasted! While I couldn't change anything (or copy and paste) without the program crashing, I did manage to export it, so here are the remains. Oh well. Next background will be twice as awesome. It's good to be doing this sort of work again - it's been at least a year since I've even attempted a layout. More to come, unless flash decides "no".

And you know, I'm proud of myself. I didn't even swear! If I were getting paid, it would have been a different story though.

Alright! I made it my mission to draw until my ass was numb today (portfolio's not going to make itself). I've been revisiting some of my old art, cleaning it up, and colouring it in.

This first one is one of the freelance colouring pages I did, currently available on Funschool.com (now owned by Disney). And I have to say, colouring in your own colouring pages is awesome. And you and your adorable little kiddies can colour them in too! Go print some out, and show some love! http://funschool.kaboose.com/


Here's a revised character of mine that I like to call Aunt Beatrice. Or Auntie B. You can tell she has a mind like a steel trap, and has an ear for gossip.

Busy day of art today. So let me explain the distasteful art before the look of horror on your face freezes - and don't worry, I've posted something cute to balance it out. Now, I'm not generally a screaming fan of anything except cookies, but I encountered a band recently who's very name made me ooze disapproval and blush at first. But the were so saucy and irreverent about somethings, and clever and in awe of others, that there was no way I could not enjoy them. And their mascot was just shocking. But by gum was it fun to draw. And the band that makes me giggle is "Puscifer"... as in Lucifer...but with a...

Anyways! Beyond drawing buxom devil women, and a few more buxom nymph things which I might paint (I've been on a bit of a mythology kick today, and actually drew a lot more of those), I also cleaned up one of my adorable bunnies! You know - because the others are kinda crass. Sorry about that. But seriously. I'm a girl. I can get away with that, right? And you have to give me credit, because I left out the hypnotic spiral nipples. Don't you judge me!


Well will you look at that... I practiced digital painting!

The Peanut Gallery

I've stated up a group blog for the lovely folks of the Second Cup Sketch/Cheap Beer Night (and of course, friends of!) So please check out the Peanut Gallery, and cheer us on! http://peanutgallerysketch.blogspot.com/
First theme, in honour of our title, however temporary it is, is "Things that Eat Peanuts". Here's my entry.

And every Friday after putting his big rig in park, Ted would go to a bar called Jenny's Place to watch his stories and eat candied peanuts.
