First break in a while...!

I promise this blog will soon be back to normal. I've just got the exhibitions to do and my parents to entertain for a week (Hej mamma! Hej pappa!) The birds help me stay sane (along with "social contact" through twitter and facebook)



Once I've graduated, it's DRAWING FOR SERIOUS BUSINESS. Yarrr!

But for now...

A short break at the Bristol Festival of Nature where I managed to get my face painted.






A bad photo of the entire lineup at home:

The last panicky push.

It's the last final painful squeeeeze now. It's been so hectic that I haven't had time to sit down and paint since the last blog entry... I've just been running between places (mostly printers) and trying to get things sorted.

Our camera decided to not have any batteries, so here are some horrid photos taken with my laptop.. :P

Should give you a hint of what I'm doing.

Possible page 3, first scan.

Getting started with the monochrome figures.

Frog perspective is pretty much my idea of HELL.



One of the first rough concept sketches of one of the characters. (without including the weapon)



And a random sketch of my 'dress up' stuff while my brain was dead.

I'M AN AUNTIE

From now on, you may refer to me as Auntie Jen. Oh yes. The POWER.

Drying paintings...

... with the power of scented candles and the laughing buddha!

Second scan.

Just added a tiiny bit more of darker areas.

Voresh Markeplace: Ink

Larger: Click me!

Skal, possible page 2. First scan.

Again, the scanner at home is too small to take this image.

First scan in case I mess it up from here. :P
It will be kept as a mostly monochrome image though. Just like: This One

First rough sketch: Voresh in the Marketplace.

Cropped first scan of Zeh Bluurbb.

This is the image that doesn't even fit in the Uni scanner.

Testing scanner with a colour..

My scanner seems to be behaving very... strangely.

So here's a test scan of a newly painted picture of the tattooed back.



I -think- that looks relatively normal.
Now I'm officially confused.

Argh postcards!

Right, so we have to create some postcards to go with the show. It is apparently nicer for people to pick up and bring home rather than a business card.

Here are some of my options (with some colour balance issues from scanning):







Woah. I think my scanner may have completely slaughtered this one!



Must go check the settings...

Wow! Some more crappy photos!?

Why yes!
