Card Game

Doh, tiny hands

Guess what? ART!

Here are three finished pictures, two behind the cut!  I know one friend who watches this journal likes to be warned about zombies, so, be warned, one picture is a (parody) zombie.

When all of the icons are penciled, I’ll be uploading those, too.

This post contains both a displacer beast and a blink dog. Uh oh.

Some badges, some sketches :)

This post has nothing to do with owlbears

I think it works out best for me to do daily posts without a set format, though I’d like to include art and sketches as often as possible, and talk about various worldbuilding things along with whatever’s going on.

Except nothing is really going on.  I’m just working a ton on getting myself where I want to be on my art list, before December starts up.  Today I’m tackling more of the icons, and the last bit of another commission.  I’m also working on sketches for new art, which is really fun.

I want to do Griffon Day next, but I had a really fun idea for a Day I want to do some time.  The theme could be all kinds of things, or it could be mostly open, with a few guidelines to give it some structure.  I like the idea of a theme, because those have ended up being pretty cool.  No one else could see these prompts, though.  I draw art cards from all the prompts, shuffle the cards, and mail them randomly to everyone who participated.  Everyone would get a surprise card!  I need to figure out how to do it so that I get paid enough for my time with it, though, because art cards plus shipping for everyone is a little more than I can tackle for free.  I will have to think about it.  I suppose I could do it as a sale instead of for tips.

I figured out how to make simple papercraft bobbleheads.  I was sitting around bored, when I first moved in to the new place, plotted out the design, and made some prototypes.  I haven’t done anything with it, since, because I’ve been lacking my light box, which I had to leave back home.  Well, I broke down and bought another one.  As it turns out, it’s half as bulky as my old one, which is a serious convenience for taking it along to cons.  The lack of this equipment has been putting a serious slowdown on my productivity, and I’m really happy to have one, again.  I’m going to use it to fine-tune my template, and then make some bobble-headed critters!  Not today, though.  Today’s for work!

Ekwara stuff!  I’m thinking about the grevians a lot, lately, because I’ve been fleshing out Aldus’ and Pel’s (she acquired a name!) character designs.  Grevicans are a little odd, as far as their biology and gender roles go, and I’m trying to figure out how to present it within the story.  I think I’m going to do a separate post for that, behind a cut.

I finished this for Newenglander, yesterday.  Once upon a time, Alice was not a giant, talking rabbit, and had trouble reaching books on the top shelf.

Furfright Badges and New Art!

Here’s some of the art I’ve finished up!
Right now, I need to finish up the Draw or Die and Poker Tournament prize badges from the con, and am working on the big post for Icon and Ekwara Day - it will go up in the next few days. I need to finish up one other sketch from Furfright, and finish coloring two commissions. When I get more of my stuff mailed out to me, I can get back to work on the big painting. I’m very close to being at the bottom of my commission list, right now, and am working on some really fun new ideas I’ll tell you guys about soon. If you want something for December, this is a good time to get in on the list!
Tomorrow, I’ll have another art update, and maybe tarot deck info! :)
