Progress on website!

So last night after posting the sketches and such I went ahead and found that piece of denim. Cutting it was a bitch because I couldn't find scissors for the life of me so I had to do it with a knife. But I managed. It was such an ordeal, putting modeling paste on it, mixing in the water, sprinkling a bit of tobacco here and there, adding some coffee to the mixture. And then I let it dry.

Today I actually sketched out the design on it, hopefully tomorrow I'll get to paint it and have it ALMOST ready.


Will have to fix certain coloration on photoshop. But otherwise it's looking good.

MUST remember I have to go shopping for art supplies. I need more sharpies, more pencil lead, more prismas, some ghesso and some modeling paste!

I'm thinking i might add some more coffee stains to this. Maybe? Possibly? Dunno yet, we'll see once I start colouring it.


Also, my uncle wants me to work some designs on this odd felt cowboy hat he has... well.... I'll see what I can do, haha. I'll take pictures later.

Oh! And my husband said I can show off some of the pipes he's carved lately, so I'll be doing that possibly tomorrow :)

Website Sketches for Portfolio and Writing

So I was writing on my personal blog, and after getting so much off my chest my muse came back. I wanted to do a lot of art, but after writing I remembered how much I loved doing it. And lately I've been writing a lot of snippets for stories and characters here and there. And I still want to practice making comics. So I figured instead of working on something I SHOULD finish soon, I decided to start on something I was supposed to do a long time ago for myself.

A portfolio website where I could keep my professional art, resume, and possibly some of my written work.

It was ingenious! Art and progress all at the same time! So I made some sketches.

The above one was the first sketch, but in the end I thought it looked too much like a website I had designed for a friend:



So, after that I went with the sketch below. The BKG is going to be hand drawn on a patch with modeling paste applied onto it. I'm excited about the outcome of this website. It's about time I worked on it.

I work on my websites in a mixture of hand drawn art, photoshop, XHTML, and Flash.




The names within what will be an 'iFrame' are the list of names I might chose from for the site. I've yet to decide if I want to make a Splash page for it.

'Accidental Voodoo' is one of them only if my friend, Marisa, would like to join the site. Her art blog is 'Accidental Artistry.'

Aren't my website sketches so childish looking? Haha, they're barely doodles.

Delirium- Failed attempt Sketch

I'm a total Sandman fan. I love the endless. I love Neil Gaiman, all his works. But of the Endless, my favorite has got to be Delirium. I wanted a Delirium tat on my shoulder some time back, and I was trying to make some designs for it. Of course I was at work and just had time to doodle something quick with a pen, but whatever.

My posts aren't very colorful, new or interesting lately, sorry. I've just been working on a million new projects and I've finished none of them yet. But I will very soon, I promise! In fact, I'm going to get to work on them right now.

Husband's been working very diligently on this pipe he's carving. It's the first thing he did when he woke up. Once he finishes it I'm going to make a post with some of his artwork on it ^.^ Including his wonderful looking pipe.

He totally promised me a mushroom shaped one. <3

P.S: Total coffee stain on her head, haha.

Justice Geisha

So, yeah, justice is blind. I was a bit drunk when I drew this. It's a tad old and a tad washed out. Just a sketch. I was planing to make her background a nice swirlie garden thingie. Maybe someday. Just posting right now while I brew some coffee. Husband passed out on our plans to go to the beach. So hopefully the coffee will help. Did you know that there's some show on TV with a bunch of faerie barbies? What happened to TV....?

Anyways soon enough will make a blog for stories/comics/etc for all my characters.

One of my first post card ideas I had. I've yet to finish it but I think it's looking pretty good. This is an old piece, just posting some old stuff on here while I finish the other shoe and the postcard/stickers I'm working on. <3

Postcards + stickers = Awesome

A fried of mine gave me a bunch of these. So I decided to make postcards. These were my first attempts. Now I'm working on postcards for friends and family members.

Postcards that turn into stickers, hell yes!

What is Steampunk?

I say steampunk a lot on this blog. And, although to me it's something common and widely known in my friend group, I realize that not everyone knows about it.

So I went into the all-knowing and sometimes lying 'Wikipedia' to get you guys a definition and some sort of history on it, so here it is: Steampunk Wiki

Here's an excerpt from the article:

Steampunk is a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date.

Enjoy.
