It's me again

An old self-portrait of mine. First I used a jigsaw to cut a piece of thin paneling into the general shape I wanted. Next, I painted in color blocks, one for the face, one for the hair, and so on. Using chalk pastels, I did all the details (like facial features), shading, and highlighting.



More work to come.

Wolfie

This is my second most recent commish, a pet portrait. The final piece is 8" x 10," acrylic on canvas.






Will try to post most recent work tomorrow. Yay!

A MONTH?!!!

Gosh, a month since I've posted anything?! This will not do.

The next in my book genre series is historical romance. My client asked me to base these characters on Gone with the Wind, so I gave them a historical look without directly copying Miss Scarlett and Rhett.


And then there's this. My obsession with CSI: Miami has not receded. For the background, I used a photo from the net, credit to its photographer. The only part I'm not pleased with is the flashy text. The bottom blue causes the letters to blur into the beach a little too much.

Doggies

The next illustration in my internet work is the dog.

Drawing, pencil
Book

I decided to draw the book separately, since this is a series. That way, each piece will use the same image, giving them consistency. Plus, it saves me from extra work.

Using that handy tool Photoshop, I put the two images together.

New Business...

So lately I've developed a better business card. My relatives own Braswell Printing, and they're printing these babies. Front:

My other project I just finished today, Couch Dogger III, my second commission to repaint the original (featured on back of card). Acrylic on wood panel.

YEE-AAAAAAHHHH! Dun-duna-dun...

I have a problem. I am addicted to CSI: Miami, and I admit it. The people are terrible actors and the cases are off-the-wall, but I can't stop.

So enjoy this chibi-style fan art I whipped up. That, of course, is Horatio.
