More Beauty and The Beast. They had so few carefree, affectionate moments in the story proper, I’m really enjoying an indulgent revisit with these.
Mood music while I edit the climax of Corpse de Ballet today.
Process shots from making my faux Delftware Mew! This kit is like, ten bucks, so it’s a great choice is you want to experiment.
I sprayed it white. The plastic and the paint reacted strangely and it got a rough, pebbly surface, but I actually like the effect.
Painted and assembled!
But with some pretty obvious seams…putty time!
The putty finish helped a lot
I started working in acrylic craft paint (please ignore the terrible little paint pots on the right, those are from a craft my kid was doing at the same table!)
It came along better than I thought it would!
A close-up, and then time to glaze!
Lil fancy I drying after a quick and sloppy glaze job.
The results! From a distance it actually looks convincingly like china. I think I’ll try more in future!
Finished pix here
I have a new collage 'zine for Small Press Expo!
….my hand slipped
WIP shots from Corpse de Ballet… I said I was going to be more economical with the art in this latest GN, but here we are again!
A recent commission for a cover illustration to Josephine-Taylor’s web serial, The Monster and The Butterfly. This was an absolute dream to draw — Gothic castle? Determined heroine? Cheekbones for days?? BATB vibes??? It couldn’t have been more My Kind of Thing. The lovely @rosesnwater was the client, who you should definitely check out ✨
I had no idea this was in the works until the article dropped (work for hire, am I right?) but Swan Lake: Quest for the Kingdoms is in development with Paramount Animation!
(on another note, credit your artist, people! The artist on a graphic novel is the director, choreographer, costumer, editor and all of the actors rolled into one).
We did a family Digimon watch a little while back, and my daughter’s favourite was Mimi <3
