Regular camera ran out of battery...

... So here are some terrible photos to show the current progress of two pieces:




Teacup explorer has now turned into a more frothy cappuccino cup explorer. Erm.


And I've started the commission of a victorian inspired street scene. If you wonder what the -very beginning- of my paintings tend to look like. Here's an example (sorry about the photo quality again)





Will take proper photos once the painting actually starts looking like a... painting.

Page 8 of Skal.


This was the final crop. The painting itself was larger, but I wanted the focus on the face. For... Obvious reasons :D

Keep calm and carry on, Jen!

Just photos to show that I AM PAINTIIING. And I will scan stuff and post as soon as it's done. :P

Commission: Steampunk inspired city scene. Research sketches.

Doing sketches of Bath to inform my head before starting the final commission sketch.






The scene is going to be a busy alley/walkway thingey with a small cafe on one side and floral decorations everywhere. :P

Explorer in a teacup. Sketch.

I'm currently doing at least two steampunk ladies who are involved with tea and coffee. Here's a sketch of one of them:

Plane sketch.

Here's a sketch I did on the plane to heathrow:


Got me into a conversation with the passenger next to me who turned out to be an interpreter who knew about 7 languages fluently(!)


And here's where the painting below went after being rescanned: Skal Blurb

I be paintin' me a diviner.

Will still need some work (and obvious rescanning in the UK)

Quick sketch before making dinner.

As I am pondering a proper blurb for Skal, I decided to sketch out a possible 'side image' on the same page the blurb would be.



It's gonna be painted, then we'll see if it works.

Now! Time to make some chicken soup.

Painting progress~

This is just to show that I'm actually doing some work here, even if I'm mostly around relatives houses, being fed and caffinated. :P

Still very much being worked on (and the scanner wants to blur bits of it. arrghh)

Skal has been updated!

http://www.jenniegyllblad.com/skal.html

A new page has been added to Skal.
(I will rescan page 3-5 when I get back to the UK. The scanner here is too small)

Apologies for the lack of imagery in this post. I've been busy socializing in Sweden and doing the Skal update :P

Site has been updated:

Hello!

My site has been updated with 'past commissions' added to the Art section.

http://www.jenniegyllblad.com/art.html

I thought it might be a good idea to let people see some of the stuff I've been commissioned to do before :)

Also got a new commission for a large painting! So will start that when I get back to the UK (on the 26th).

Sorry about the lack of imagery. It's all down on the boards at the moment :P

Second concept of Skal character.

Some people who play the RP game Arelith may know who this one is :P



First sketch of outfit.

Doodles to relax.

Had a bit of time to do some roleplaying today.

And doodling.
