In The Snow

I just managed to finish my latest piece! “In The Snow”. It took me quite a long time because of all of its details! So… I wanted to show you guys! :D Im pretty pleased with it all in all, but I would love to know what you think! :D

detail1

This is the little flower that acts as a lamp because it has little fireflies flying around inside it!

detail2

And the door of the little house! Hehe! Lots of little wooden bits and vine! :D

detail3

Some of the wheat in the foreground and the snowy leaves in the background.

detail4

And last but not least, the little hedgehog holding one of those dandelion seeds :D

Winter is getting closer! I hope you all keep warm and make sure those toes don’t get too frozen! :D Enjoy it!

A Peek into “Spooky Little Helpers”

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

My newest piece has quite a few little details in it so I wanted to post something that would let you have a little sneaky peek at those since the mice are so mini!!

First off, here is the WIP – as you can see… at this point the mice haven’t been done, the wall has only been shaded a little and so on… I tend to sketch my pieces really tiny on paper just in case i decide to add more around it later on. Due to that, the mice look very odd here hehe! (They ended up just being a guide as I could not find a smaller pencil for the sketch details. ;)

slh-wip

Now to compare with the final version… Looks deeper eh? ;D This takes soooo much patience and an incredible amount of layers! – I like to save step by step versions of all my work so I can have a CD of all the files in my portfolio. :D

Spooky Little Helpers

Time for the details! Yay!

Here is a blown up version of the Tulips. I should have probably put a little more shading into these but they looked pretty cool as they were. – To all you plant specialists… I’m pretty sure they have faults for tulips ;) Nevermind hehe! You don’t usually get mice carving a pumpkin either i guess? :P

slh-details1

A spider!! This got added after the initial sketch. I thought the area in the middle looked a little empty so it needed something?! What better than a friendly spider! ;) I bet you didn’t realise it had blue eyes before :D

slh-details2

This little guy obviously went all out on the helping! He is far too full to carry on! What better than to enjoy a little nap after a feast? :D

slh-details3

You always get adventurous friends! Well… this is the mousy kind! He has travelled deep inside the massive pumpkin to discover the tasty bits! I have to admit, he acts more like a mole. :D

slh-details4

The hard worker. I guess this one is also a bit of a perfectionist too! We cant have lumps and bumps in the wrong places! He took on the “Boss” role hehe!

slh-details5

Now for the one that will do anything for food! That’s the only reason hes working you know! Well… obviously not while hes munching but you get the idea ;) I hope he knows things don’t come served on a plate for you! Although, saying that, the insides of the pumpkin might be used for making a pie later. :D

slh-details6

Last but not least, the little one that inspects everything! “How do I know its not poisonous?! You don’t eat things off the street!” – This guy doesn’t anyway ;) Far too dangerous!

slh-details7

Well that covers all the details! I hope you have enjoyed your little journey through this blog post hehe! Please leave comments on your favourite character! I’m sure they would want to know they are loved :D

Hope you like the new one! Thank you for reading!

Its Finally Finished!

newblogandwebsite2

Its been awhile now that I havnt really been too pleased with my website. It really needed editing… nothing was getting updated because it was a pain in the butt to do so… It probably wasnt too user friendly…I know it looked weird in Mac. Ugh.. the list is endless!

So I made a new one! This time with the blog inside it too! (That means it will actually get updated!! Oh My God!) lol!

I really hope everything is working and not too difficult to navigate!

So… Im just going to list a few changes that have been made from the original since the “look” is pretty similar…

  1. For reading, you dont have to scroll endlessly in a stupidly small box
  2. The page will automatically adapt to your screen size
  3. We now have a blog inside the website!
  4. There is now a fully updated portfolio which can be viewed using lightbox
  5. You can now contact me using the Contact Form
  6. You can also link back to the site if you wish
  7. Anyone can comment on the blog (whether you have wordpress or not)
  8. And I hope it looks slightly more appealing to you too! :D

I think that’s everything? You might find a few more that i might have forgotten… but you get the gist ;)

I hope you like it!!

Have fun exploring and I would love to know what you think!

hello-little-flower-for-etsy
New ACEO! :D The little panda is trying to get to the flower :D Idea just randomly popped into my head today. Thought it would do better as an ACEO instead of a digital painting. Im not sure why? But yeah hehe! This was so hard not to smudge! Yet… my fingers are still black from the graphite!! I guess my signiture kind of looks a bit like a diaper pin haha! Oops.. I guess i should have sharpened the pencil again before signing ;) nevermind :D

Hope you like it!! You can find it for sale here.
