Sketches from Photos

Last year I had used some photos for body reference. I like the way they turned out.

Personal Sketches : Frida Tattoo

It's my birthday soon and I'd love to celebrate with a new tattoo. So, there's been many ideas and some doodling. This is one I'm pretty happy with, a hamsa tied in with Frida Kahlo - two ideas I'd been toying around with for awhile. Plus it's full of other little things and elements - eye of protection, flower, ankh, skull, day of the dead. The colours aren't close to what I'd like but I was just seeing how it worked with colour in general. I have a few other ideas still to choose from too. I should get drawing those too!

Lost Alt Girls (NSFW)

Last year I did a series of alt girl paintings. These are two that I misplaced - one of which I never finished. I missed my Scarab lady, at least she was lost in a lovely folder and not crumpled somewhere... I must go back and do some more of these sometime.

Life Drawing Class Leftovers

I found some old drawings from life drawing class last year. I liked these ones so I thought I'd share.

Casket Case doodling

Be brave and be bold

I was having a bad day and decided to create something inspirational to hang on my wall. I picked out those that had given me strength and taught me different things. I chose Emilie Autumn, Amanda Palmer, Frida Kahlo, Dame Darcy and Jonathan Davis, all for different reasons. The overarching reason being that they had helped make me stronger in some way. The hi-res image and a more rambling description can be seen on my dA.   

It was inked with Copic liners and coloured with watercolour. It came out pretty bright and vivid, which I wasn't expecting but it lives up to the title. 

Girl Parts characters

I don't think this comic is going to happen for awhile, if at all. Since Leeds I've had bursts of inspiration and motivation but it seems to have faded a little. The story is personal so I think that is what's holding me back. I'm going to focus my energy on Casket Case, a 20 page comic (with the first 6 issue arc planned) instead of the graphic novel this was to be. It may still happen but for now I have some drawings and characters I'm pretty pleased with.
