Steampunk ME

Made a steampunk alter ego. I had played along with this 'steampunk name- game' and my name was Colonel Josephine Wraithwood. Couldn't help but create a sketch off it. I'll color it later.

2014 here I come!

My first FINISHED illustration of this year! I played with the color and decided with a different shading technique. More of a cell drawing than 'painterly'. Fun fun fun.

Night light

Hi swimmers,

I'm still drawing, though life is getting busy. Above is a current painting I did while between breaks. My muse (of course).

My favorite gypsy...and friends

Disney girls and their mothers...

Top: Belle
Middle: Esmeralda
Bottom: Cinderella

The Fox and the Girl

Two separate pieces, from two different universes. The girl was just a warm-up in coloring and the fox was something I've been wanting to experiment with.

Wonderland Sketch Dump

Hi swimmers,

One of my favorite things to do is reinvent characters of favorite story books. I haven't drew anything on 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' since college and these designs just sorta popped in my head.
I think what inspired me to create this, was the scene between Alice and the Cheshire Cat, "Can you stand on your head?" in Disney's Alice in Wonderland.
It was always my favorite scene as a kid, totally hilarious to me. :) Then from there, the ideas just started to flow.

Flirt

Hi swimmers,

Just posting a recent picture. I really tried to play with color.

His Laugh

I hardly ever draw couples and have been meaning to start so..TADA! My muse and her love interest. I imagine in this scene that this is the first time she actually 'sees' him and starts to fall in love. It's the first time she hears him laugh.

Face Reference Page

This page has been worked on for a looong time, but I'm happy that it's finished.

Resurfacing of the Tank

Just a brief post letting you know that I'm still around and will return to my blog soon. It's almost time for the yearly clean-up and interface maker-over (I personally can't wait) and I'll be trying to post on regular basis too.
The tank is about to reach clear skies... *grins*


Thanks for the swim,

Alaia

Faerie Pellets

This is my main muse in one of her many adventures. The topic is a thing called 'Faerie Pellets' and she is experiencing the affect of them. 

Later on I'm going to post the aftermath of whats she's eaten. The page is actually apart of a BIG project I'm working on. I'll explain more about it later on

The Fairest...

Hey swimmers,

I honestly do not know how I pulled this out of my head. Haha. I'm usually weary when it comes to Disney art. But wasn't as tedious as I thought and I like the final product. Below is the line art and above what she would look like with coloring.

Honestly I had been watching, 'Once Upon a Time' on Hulu and the idea had popped in my head. But I wanted her to be 'accruate' to the Grimm stories. SO!She is dressed to impress in 16th century Germany and she still loves that apple...

Alive!

Good early morning swimmers!

I just wanted to post something up just so you know I'm still drawing in my handy-dandy-sketchbook. I haven't had much time to post online, but I'm still drawing none-the-less. Though work has been my big time compressor, I've also started working on 'my secret project' a month ago.
 It's taking a bit of time, but its going very well. I'll let you know the details a bit later once I have some things finalized! In the meantime above is a sketch and illustration of my favorite Muse!


Swim away,

Day Twenty-Five: Strangers

Day Twenty-Four: Family

Hello! Day twenty-four has come three days late unfortunately. Hopefully my busy work schedule and devotion to 'other projects' won't get too much in the way. Anyways, today's subject is on family. So I made a quick sketch of Wood and his parents (traditional family portrait).

Keep those paddles,

Alaia

Day Twenty-Three: Lovers

Good morning!

Day 23 up! Title is 'lovers', though it seems to be the complete opposite right now....haha.
BUT they will be! This is how it all begins. Willow's parents. ;)


Keep in the waters,

Alaia

Day Twenty-Two: Enemies

Family feuds are never good...especially between sisters.
