Inktober - Day 25

Inktober - Day 25

The anatomy is a bit wonky on this one because I realised at 11pm, in the hotel room after the first day of MCM, that I hadn't done my Inktober picture yet. I'm pleased with the inking though.

This is Sweetpea's friend, Coriander. She's a Holly, so her ears don't change with the seasons like his. Sometimes she grows flowers and berries under them though.

Inktober - Day 28

I was listening to Siren Song by Bat for Lashes (it's on the playlist from our Halloween Mini Music Zine) and this happened.

I'm still not sure if adding the water was the right decision. It gave me the misty effect I wanted, but I'm not sure if the drowned girl looks as good. Hmm.

Sketchavember - Day 4

I was tired and ill yesterday, so I just doodled up whatever came into my head and boom! Sweetpea.

His ears are getting dry and will fall off soon. (Although I can't find any oaks near where I live so I'm not sure when they'll drop their leaves this year.)

Inktober - Day 26

More wonky anatomy, oh dear. This is what happens when I draw late at night.

Since you can sometimes see them a little bit in 3-quarter angle pictures, I wanted to show what the ritual modifications the Vrega get look like. Almost all Vrega are subjected to this when they come of age, as part of their Trial. Technically the spikes can be placed anywhere, as long as they're worked into the bone, but these placements are traditional. After their Trial women are usually taught how to fight using their new arm-spikes. Men just have to get used to not being able to sleep on their backs.

Sketchavember - Day 8

It's Shasta! I've been painting new postcards and naturally I included one of him, even though he's consistently the worst seller, because I love him and I'm going to keep drawing him until someone else does too, dammit.

Also, theme applied! All further Sketchavember pictures will be fantasy-themed (as opposed to sci-fi, horror etc.) supernatural themes may or may not count, I haven't decided. Expect fairies.

Sketchavember - Day 3

I decided to try drawing the mirror twins in my normal style. They seemed to come out okay.
