Smile My Artwork

Most of the things I do are like this. I usually grab from my head and let in come out of my hands. I think this is the first human-looking character I've done. I usually do mythological creatures which I will show to you all very soon. This one, though, I decided to show first becuase I'm terribly proud of this. It's really my first time to actually want to show off.

Let me know what you think. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions. There will be more to come as soon as I have some time.

P.S. There is a story to this, but I haven't finished...yet. I will post it here when it is done.

Doodles! wooweee! Those are great. Both the people seem Evlish or mage-like; very powerful, grand people. I love the strong poses on them both--and the perspective on the second is great! It gives me the chills as I'm scared of heights! ((Laughs))

Keep up the wonderful work! It's good to show off our creativity. It's not braggin ya know--it's sharing! Love love love them.

See you around and keep doin what inspires you.

Ingi!

Thank you, Crytears

I am doing a series of actors for a sci-fi convention this weekend. I will post them when they are signed.

Until then - enjoy this one. I did this one when i was living in Arizona. Some day I'll go back.

Is that chalk pastel?? That's really beautiful! Great blending.

In a town near here, we have "Pastels on the Plaza" and artists from all around the area will colour pictures on the sidewalk that is being sponsered by differant local buisnessess. This reminds me of that--what joy!

Ingwaz,

The characters and the cross in the background are marker. The highlights and the shadows and the fire are chalk pastels. The background I took some water and used the chalk pastel like a water color. It really sets the background apart from everything else when you use a different technique.
