Warmth!

Spring is here! Finally! Aaaaah, I LOVE spring!
And so, it's been over a month since I drew anything. And several months since I painted anything. Springspringspring. And fiery men. Like my Yvain. ♥

Vampiric eyecandy

There you go, a little fanservice. ;P ... I've been sick for almost 3 weeks, first kidney stones and then a flu. And it's been so freaking annoying not being able to draw and having so many ideas for drawings. Finally I got to draw something. I just realized I had not drawn a fullbody coloured picture of Sajore in a LONG time, so it needed to be done. :D

And it seems I completely forgot to post the valentinesday pic here, OMG! :O I'm sorry! Almost a month late, here is a little Sajore & Xir'ag loving, with a friendstwist:

Because blogger makes pictures really small if they are really wide or tall, you can view the bigger view at my DA gallery. Here's the link.

January

Life is tossing me around. Have to move, got a promotion at work, bought a new computer. New year, new stuff, plenty of new stuff! And some new art too:

Sajore & Xir'ag
ink & Coloured pencils, A3, 4 days.

A gift art for Volvom at Deviantart.
It's her and her friends boys. ^___^

A volcano, digital painting. Photoshop CS2.
4 hours.

Fanart for the wonderful British tv-series
Misfits: Alisha & Simon. I love that show
and the couple so so much! ^__^

2013 is here

Sajore & Xir'ag. A3 paper, black and white ink, water soluble
coloured pencils and markers of all sizes. About 3 days.

And so another new year starts. This year I want to concentrate on getting better, having focus on a painting and doing my best. Last year was my widest work area year. Before I've really been drawing the same subjects over and over again, last year I tried to do everything.

But as much as I've learned trough this, somehow it feels like my art is getting worse, not better. I need to work with that. Work one piece at a time and make it as good as it can be, not just a sloppy quicky. X3

Halloween 2

HAPPY HALLOWEEEN!

... so, in the end I finished all my Halloween pictures, which makes it three pictures. Which is a little silly, but Halloween is my favourite holiday to draw. ^__^

Armaros, my demon. And his kitty. =3
(Markers & Photoshop CS2, 3 days)

My boys Jesse & Gabriel from the
"Get over it"-story. ^_^
(Pencils & Photoshop CS2, 5 days)

PINK art

Made this following art challenge, because I... felt like it. X3 I've been so uninspired that I grasp every idea that's remotely interesting. This one was. And so, a PINK Xir'ag was born. X3

B & W

Now that I look at it, the background looks like a planket he's laying on... it was supposed to look like wind. Ugh. X3

Anyways, yes, Xir'ag. Been a long time again since I drew him. I think his eyes just keep on growing. Is it a good or a bad thing?

... I like how his hair turned out in this. Hurraa. 

Pencil shaded and painted "over and under" in Photoshop CS2.

Honey (bloody) honey

This was supposed to be Drizzt Do'Urden. When Sajore didn't leave me alone I agreed to paint him instead. It was gonna be a really happy picture. And then he just glared... like THAT. Ugh, that vampire is sooooo irritating. :P But I just cannot stop painting him. Waaah!

As you can see. XP

He's growing up, my darling. ;_; I still love that second to bottom the most, he's actually psychotic happy there! XDD

Music

I... this is gonna sound so weird and stupid, but oh well: I just started to listen to music again.

I realized that during the last year, somewhere along the way, I had completely stopped listening to music. Some might wonder how I could, but I think it has something to do with being depressed. I mean, I listen to audiobooks allll the time. But I had not listened to music in months, maybe even over a year. I had no urge to do so, so I didn't. But, last week I put on my iTunes and made a list of "dancemusic", "Soundtracks" and one with "ballads". And I almost cried while listening to one of my favourite songs, omg it felt so good to hear it again!

My darlings Sajore & Xir'ag
(put on that song on that link and then look at this
pic, maybe you can catch the emotion I had while
painting this. ^_^)

... While making this picture, I had my "ballads" list on. And I really think it shows. Actually, after starting to listen to music again, I have begun to wonder if I've been painting so little just because I haven't been listening to music. Music makes so many emotions and without emotions there really is very little inspiration and so, no art.
But now there is, art and music! I've finished 4 paintings this last week. And been listening to music. Hehe-he... ^^;
