06/24/09 Update

I submitted my second entry to the masked_ball community and signed up for a third. I have it sketched, but it'll still be close. I also finished my first holiday pinup, so I'm pleased. I'm excited to keep it up.

My parents are coming to visit which will put me away from my computer from July 1-5. And there are a lot of projects coming to a close around then. Other than my last prompt, I'm trying to do a Truckstop Tramp submission over at the Hentai Factory.

I have lots of other paintings in the works, but those look to be the only on a deadline at the moment.

6/18/09 Update

Howdy! It's been a bit, but I promise I've been busy. I've updated my dA account with new Phantom art, been working my way through masked_ball submissions and opened an account over at Hentai Factory. I'm still try to get my first submission accepted (they are pretty strict on admissions) but I am hopeful that I'll be able to do more explicit art in the future.

There's a huge list of projects and contests that I'm working on including horned animals, the letter Z, fairytales, storytelling, scifi and steampunk erotica, a little something for the Fourth of July. So keep an eye out. ;)

6/4/09 More Sketches

I've been crazy busy artistically. Which is wonderful, but tiring.

My dA account has some new lineart in my new Phantom of the Opera style. Erik/Christine and Raoul/Christine.

I have the first half of my second submission to masked_ball done (though it still won't be out until July) and I'm very excited about the rest of it.

I'm in the final stages of the Ark Project (just finalizing text and formatting) and that will finally be done.

And I am absolutely in love with painting in black and white. Perhaps this is just something I missed developmentally, but it seems to help my technique significantly to work only in value. I did a couple of loose studies of noses and mouths, which are notoriously difficult for me and was pretty happy with them. :)

5/31/09 More Art

Just a quick update.

Only 7 pages left for the Ark coloring project. I'm so excited to be wrapping it up.

I finished my first submission to the masked_ball community. Unfortunately, it won't be available until July. But I'm still happy about it. Onto the next one.

I've started a submission for Phantom-of-dA-Opera's Superhero Erik contest. And I've been doing some Leroux concept art. I look forward to having a lot more Phantom art in the near future. I'm also working on another photomanipulation for the Sands of Time Contest.

So much to do, so little time.

5/27/09 Update

I've been crazy busy with making things, but I figure I should at least check in.

I've been doing some lineart (I actually finished this one). Another in is the cleanup phase.

I finished this sushi for my sister's birthday and got it shipping off.

I've been working on some Phantom phanart, which makes me happy. I'm a good chunk into my masked_ball submission (though I'm not at liberty to post it), am in development for a second piece and finished this.



On the crafty side of things, I finished a hippocampus sculpture yesterday (that will be posted on dA later today) and have been designing and whipping up some lightweight clothing. I don't normally work in 'casual wear' (aka not costumes) so it's been very rewarding. :)

And the ark vector art continues forward.

5/19/09 Update

I've been busy on the ark project (only 22 pages left), a theme of the week pic, and some fashion design. It's nice to be crafting again. It's even nicer to be able to wear the product. I'll try to have pictures up soon.

5/10/09 Mother's Day Gift

I did this for my mum. She has a thing for Johnny Depp.

Other than that, I need to get back to the Ark project. There's just been a lot of gifts in the meantime.
