Non-pony art dump

[Griffin]

Thought I'd share a few of my latest creations, I have been drawing something else than ponies for once. ^-^  These are all decos or deco entries (little booklets that are passed from one artist to another, each decorates one page of the booklet according to the theme if there is one).

Fantasy deco entry, I couldn't decide what to draw until I suddenly remembered my old OC Akissa. She's a character from a short story that I never finished, though I never even had any decent plot to begin with so it's no wonder I scrapped the whole thing. This was a quick one so there are plenty of anatomy issues and such (the wings apparently aren't connected to her body, lol... and I can't draw lips :/ ) but it was fun to see what she'd look like compared to the old versions. Let's see if I can find some in Photobucket... 2005, 2003, 2001.

Another fantasy deco entry, again a relatively quick one. Watercolours and black ballpoint pen + scrapbooking supplies.

Entry in a Lord of the Rings deco. Again some anatomy issues (Asfaloth's left ear, I can't believe I didn't notice that before inking, grrr...) and lack of contrast, that's one of my biggest problems with watercolours...

Lemurrrr! Animal deco, front cover. Indian ink & Copic markers on Canson Recycled, lime green scrapbooking paper and orange/yellowish giftwrapping paper. I love how this one turned out. ^^


There's more info about decos at the Deco Swappers forum (link in my sig) if you're interested in these little booklets.

Wow!! I love your style!

These are great!  And of course, the LOTR one is my favorite.  Hooray for Glorfindel!

Thanks, kittybethy & Zenna!

Cool! Nice work, I like your LOTR one the most, and the lemur is great!    You're way better at watercolour than I am; I have much more trouble than just tone, I'm flat out useless with it! Your piccies are just lovely.

Thank you, Marlin Watercolours are my primary choice of medium, I've been using them a lot for several years. They are pretty forgiving in comparison to markers, for example... although not as forgiving as more opaque paints like acrylics. I guess I should buy watercolours with better pigments, that would probably help with the contrast issue a bit.   

(Lol, my thread name has turned into something quite interesting. :'D I would imagine farts are pretty difficult to draw anyway... Apparently I need to start practicing!)
