Oct. 9th, 2008 @ 09:04 pm Baby Bella
Baby Bella should be out in stores by now, so I have uploaded the three images I made.

I'm not sure if the WIP names I got for my foals are the ones they ended up with in the cards, so if anybody can tell me what their names are on the actual cards I'd be happy. :)

Current Mood: impressed
This is pretty wild.

Those that has been past my tattoo section on my webcomic will recognise this:

Old tattoo pictures )

Now look what I just got:



This new girl says that she didn't know the previous tattoos existed, and it would appear that she found me by surfing tattoo pictures running into her doubles. To quote: "I thought it was crazy when I first saw the picture of someone else with them."

I guess the moral of this story is to do research of who has done an illustration you has found online before getting it tattooed on your body. ;) That, and tattoos of my characters are awesome.

I guess I have a lot of pictures going around online without control. That's what happen when you have as generic characters of popular specimens as I do. :/

Mar. 10th, 2008 @ 12:51 pm Art Arrived
Current Mood: artistic
I bought two drawings by Faith Erin Hicks a month ago, and today they arrived in the mail. Stupid mail... They had bend the envelope so the drawings was partly bended too. :(
Luckily it's not too bad, and I decided to save them by putting them in frames to "unbend them" and subsequently hang them on my wall (seeing that's where I usually keep the frames. ;) ).
This was somewhat the end of an era. I've had the same original art hanging in those frames since J-popcon 2003. I had sort of figured I'd keep them there till I moved out, seeing how that's only a few months away, but now I got new art on my walls.

Pictures under cut. )

Current Mood: excited
OMG! I just realised that at the least one Bella Sara card of the Ancient Light edition is illustrated by Quinton Hoover.

Quinton Hoover!!!

I've been a fan of that guy since I was something near 12. He was my favourite magic the Gathering artist! I even took his magic-cards with me to my students apartment, while leaving all the others at home, because his stuff is so gorgeous. His art has had lasting influence on my own drawing style, and elements in my art can be traced back to the inspiration from his illustrations.

I have illustrations published in the same TCG as Quinton Hoover! In the same deck! *goes into raging fangirl mode*

This is so cool! I'm only one link away from one of my real art idols of all time. *happy happy happy*

Yay! http://www.elfwood.com/art/r/i/rikke/golflake.jpg.html

I got a mod choice. XD
Ironically on something different than my usual style. ;)

It's cool though, I'm hoping to collect enough original art Mod choices to outnumber my fanart Mod Choices. :D

Oct. 25th, 2007 @ 03:23 pm Fanart Month (Requests are Welcome)
Current Mood: artistic
Tags: , ,


To celebrate that I am done with my masters thesis (and to get my drawing skills back after ignoring them for quite some time) I'm declaring this November fanart month. This means that i am open to suggestions on what to draw.

A few guidelines:

  • My muse is fickle. Just because you suggest something doesn't mean that I'll draw it. ;) This is however a good opportunity for you to get me to draw you something.
  • All fanart is welcome. That includes everything that is fanart for me. This means that you are welcome to suggest your original characters from your own stories. Random "draw your version of that character I don't have a name for, and will only be featured in one of my images" suggestions will likely be ignored, though. ;)
  • Feel free to suggest a drawing style and a medium as well. I'm likely to be attracted to the suggestions that I will find inspiring and fun.
  • Bear in mind: Large internet fandoms scares me. I am however only human. If the request is very intriguing or enough people ask for it, I might actually make a fanart anyway. ;)


Some fandoms that it would be easy to convince me about drawing fanart for these days:
Disney's Atlantis, Skydoll, Chrono Crusade, Magical Knight RayEarth and The Sandman.

This is cross posted to several of my journals and galleries.

Wow...

I submitted two new pictures to my Elfwood FanQuarter gallery yesterday, and they were approved less than three hours later.
This is FanQuarter we're talking about. The normal wait is two-three weeks. O.O

Impressive, very impressive. I'm looking very much forward to see how their new community features works out. :)
