HOT hot summer.

I wish it was hot, the temperature of summer. But it hasn't been so, here. But I've found other ways to make it a hot summer. Which is why these two are halfnaked and stuff. Summerfever! ;D

And Sajore. Because when someone says hot, Sajore jumps in. XD

In memory

“It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.” 

♥ RIP aunt Vilma. ♥

You were like a grandmother to me, I will miss you dearly. 

Bright bright summer!

Just something fun, I came up with one day. It turned out really Bright! I condone forced hugs but with these two… Jesse has big issues about being close to his boyfriend in public because he used to be a huge homophobe. Gabriel changed that… along with everything else ^___^

Markers & Photoshop CS2

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. ♥

Hobbit about Thranduil

I loved the hobbit movie, and I absolutely adored Lee Pace as Thranduil. When I saw the movie, I kept thinking: "I MUST paint that hair". And now I finally did. =D
Painted with Photoshop CS2, took about 5 hours.

The original was a wallpaper size, if you want to use that one, you can snatch it
from my Deviantart gallery. =D

A detail shot to show that I went a little crazy with the
details... again. XD

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.

Birthday was and went

And I'm a year older again. I don't feel 33 years old! I feel 26 years old. Or maybe 27. Definitely not over 30. But there are these thin lines forming to the corners of my eyes and my boobs are beginning to sag, so I guess I am getting older.
... LOL!

Anyways, new art is here again!
I made this huuuge art campaign thingy at DeviantArt, more about that here in my DA journal... but here's the result. The high resolution image can be seen at my Deviantart gallery.

This was so much fun to draw! I made it with markers and shaded
with copics (cold grays). A little light was added in Photoshop
and the characters were re-organized, because the papers were
a mess. =P

A commission for a co-worker of mine, a
dolphin and an otter. Photoshop painting.
(Photoshop CS2, Wacom Intuos 3, 5 hours.)

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

My geeky christmas

The drawings I've made during the holidays... so far. 

My preciousssss, the best X-mas gift ever. ^___^

Merry Holidays!

 Merry Holidays, what ever you are celebrating, if you're celebrating. If not, merry winter... and new year. ^_^ ♥

Traditionality!

A wall painting. We got to paint walls at an art
class at work. The best thing ever! I loved loved
loved it! ^___^

An acrylic painting I made for myself.
50 x 70 cm (19.7 x 27.6 inches), about
1 week of work.
Lady of fire: my power painting! =D

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)

Girls and love

♥ ♥ ♥ 

Photoshop CS2, 9 hours

Inspiration!

IT'S BACK! ;D
I've been so silent and haven't shown anything new in a long time, so here's a little treat. I hope you like! ♥

The oil painting I made for
the art exhibition at work.
60 x 80 cm. Oil and real
feathers. XD

Baaad boyyy! XD

The Pain and Pleasure crew, heights! =D

The Wild Love crew, heights! =D

More to come later on. If only there was more time for a day. ^___^

Birthday artses.

Been productive, woah, it happens! XD Very random art lately though. And I even drew a naked man! =P ... and a small weird dragon, haha. Oh well, these are both birthday gifts for friends. =D

Maija, my co-worker asked for a dragon, here's one for her. hihi ^_^

Tundradrix had an "Alan Rickman" themed birthday party
last weekend, which is why I drew her an Alan Rickman
themed picture. ;P
Nottingham Sheriff, because I love Alan in that role! 

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

Soookeehhhh

And Co. =P

I just reread all the Sookie Stackhouse books (for the third time XD) and have been watching the True Blood season 5. I don't really like the series anymore, because it has nothing left of the original story, but it's still... a must to watch, I can't stop... I guess I really like the actors and actresses, not always the characters. Though most of the characters are either completely different from the books (Sookie, Pam, Eric, Bill, Alcide, Tara) or they don't even exist in the books (Lafayette (He was in the books for about half a page), Jessica...). ^^;

And then I had this horrible urge to draw Sookie with "all her men". If you've only watch the series, one of these guys is a complete stranger. But in the books... YUM! Or maybe I should say rawrrrr. ;P

THIS FOLLOWING CONTAINS SPOILERS!
These are, of course, from left to right:
- Quinn the weretiger
- Bill the vampire
- Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress and a 1/8 fairy
- Eric Northman, Sheriff of Shreveport and a vampire
- Alcide, a werewolf and the packmaster of the Shreveport pack.

Ah yeah, the picture is drawn with markers and coloured in Photoshop CS2. ^_^ Took about 3 days. The colouring is a little hasty because I just don't have the patience to sit in front of the comp these days.

Books inspire art - part 1

MacKayla Lane from the "Fever"series by Karen Marie Moning. Both girls are the same girl... she changed a "bit" during the series. I'm not gonna tell anything about it, so I won't spoil anyone.

I love the books and highly recommend them. ^_^ I love almost all the characters in the books, but Mac develops the most so she was the one I wanted to draw (first). And she's just fierce! :D

The picture is sketched with pencils, scanned and painted in Photoshop CS2 with my Wacom Intuos 3.

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.
