Thursdaily with art dump and updates

I gymed today, and ow, my muscles. Still, considering I haven't been to the gym in a month (*hangs head*), it was not as bad as I expected it to be!

I don't know what anthology selection looks like to other people, but this is what it looks like to me:



I'm waiting to hear back from Valerie's son about using some of her work now, and then I think we're about there.

I did 7 pieces for Sketch Fest this month, and shockingly, four of them were in color. The last, Willow Mother, I could literally not put down afterwards, and I spent the rest of my Saturday finishing it. I am also particularly pleased with Playing With Fire... I want to do more color sketching like this.








And, I got the final okay on my last commission!





This is a piece for ceelove, who wrote a musical and is pitching the script. As you might imagine, this was a blast to work on, and challenging, too.



I have two pieces in 'paid progress' right now. These are pieces that you may toss some dollars at to see them progress further:




This one is from the last Muse Fusion, and can be funded in 15 minute increments for $5.00. You may add as many as you like to your cart, and whoever adds the most to the progress fund will receive the original (randomly drawn, in the case of ties!). ysabetwordsmith is writing a story for this piece. I'd love to fund it to the inking stage!


This one is through Sketch Fest, and is a single-payer progress piece. (You're guaranteed the original, you choose how much more work gets put into it.)

I never knew what anthology selection looked like before. :)

Yay for SF sketches, glad you got some in there, even with me "harassing" you for my mom. :)

"Willow Mother" turned out really well! I am glad you listened to your hubby. :) Are you gonna put it into the Dryad month of EMG-Zine? Today is the last day to submit! ;)

Love the little kitties! That is the reason why I wanted to draw the silk hares, so many cute thinngggsss! Unfortunately I haven't worked on it since then. :\

Now I am off to work on a SF piece. :)

I look forward to seeing the silk hares finished!

Poor little silk hares, gotta wait until the dryards are done. :)

Ah, aren't deadlines wonderful?

[jenny heidewald (from livejournal.com)]

Yeah, too bad my eyes aren't!!! Argh, my typos... Dryads are done, just gotta get the hubby to edit it, then it will be sent! :)

Willow Mother is GORGEOUS!

[zeeth_kyrah]

I have to agree!

!!! You're doing the publicity images for Never After?!? That's so cool! (That's local to me -- I mostly know ceelove through other people, but a lot of people I know were involved in the production.) How did she find you?

[wyld-dandelyon.livejournal.com]

Oh! Such pretties. I'm not putting my two finished sketches this month in my LJ in case they're in the anthology. Of course, the computer acting up in the middle of sketchfest was frustrating and depressing just when I didn't need more frustrations and depressions!

Since you'd expressed interest, and I didn't know if you had gotten to read it, I thought I'd drop a link to my wind-themed story, "Playing the Battle". (It was rejected for April's EMG Zine, and didn't appear to fit any other themes this year.)

Wonderful art hon!
