Don't think I've been lazy - I have four images/sketches waiting to be shown, but am waiting for the recipients' answers to show them. ;) Here's the first of the "Seeker in the Wilderness" commission...
2015-07-17 07:43:22 +0000 UTC View PostWell, I'm home - without *any* art. It's weird that I have the patience and motivation to draw when I'm surrounded by thirty teenagers, but not with my hubby and two kids around. The biggest problem w...

Definitely another colour scheme I've never done! Much fun was had with Daniel Smith Ultramarine Turquoise.
I made a video of painting the leaves - working on that :)

Work in progress for Isabella. What better to do at 30°C outside than paint wintry stuff? ;)

Second timelapse vid!
You'll have noted I set the last video to "all patrons", not just to those of 5$ and up. Originally, the vids were just meant for that level, but now I feel th...

Had a lot of fun with this one - of course, Feanorean fun runs in the family! I went for a lot of fire imagery; even though he denounced his father, he *was* a grandson of Feanor.

Some fine tuning still to be done, but overall, this works really well. Hope you all like it!

The second of two linearts soon to be painted! Dwarves it is. If the Silmarillion is ever made into a movie (which the Valar may prevent), I want Stellan Skarsgard to play Azaghâl, please. :D

One of two linearts for small-scale paintings I did today: Celebrimbor. He turned out a bit like a silent movie star of the nineteen-twenties, which, in hindsight, is just the way it ought to be.

I seem to have spent 30 years searching for "my" Legolas. I've gone back and forth depicting him since the late eighties - dark hair, light hair, longish hair, short hair, and even one Orlando. I thin...

Took me ages to find out what I wanted for the colour scheme here. In the end, I decided to go for surreal, watery colours, foreshadowing her death in the waters of Teiglin, with a hint of Orphelia.

Patron commission for Isabella. She said that we only ever see Maglor as a sensitive poet and musician, but he was a Feanorean, and she wanted to see that side of him. :)
