Art and other items of panic...

So, have some art!







Obviously for the Jan issue of EMG-Zine. I was going to jump in and ink this, but I'd rather try the nifty watercolor method that carmensylph just posted - who would have thought of inking after color! So I'm going to risk this piece (it's fairly small!) and try that method on it. Wish I'd done it on good watercolor paper, but it's just bristol. Oh well, I've done lots of watercolor on bristol.







Commission for Camilla, who is an angel!







I am about to spend more than $400 on a new EMG toy. >.< But, oh, it will be worth it!!

Also, in a very related note - disregard the size I gave you for the EMGtarot cards! They will be 2.5 x 3.5. Because that's what my new toy will punch... *glee* Additionally, that will be the new magnet and sticker size. The pricing on magnets and stickers may also be changing. This will save me SO much time. I like things that save me time. In an also related note - lemme know if anyone'd like some pre-cut ACEO paper - you know, already to size with corners rounded? *grins* Let me know what paper you want.

I also ordered some cool media samples, we'll see if they turn out well...

Now, I have three days left to accomplish a great deal more than I should be able to cram into three days. Wee!

Beautiful new art Ellen! What is your new toy?!

[amchristian.livejournal.com]

I must agree, your new art is beautiful! On a side note, I always ink my paintings after I paint them.

Your new toy sounds really cool!

I would love pre-cut paper. It would save me time. How much are you thinking??

Why?!

Why does everybody say I'm an angel?! I hear it nonstop, and I'm not just talking about from my grandmother who pinches my cheeks when telling me that! The only person who doesn't say that is my pseudo boyfriend, who says I'm a kind of reptile. But thanks, Ellen, for both commission and compliment. Kurigalzu and Splash are beautiful, and so are the other two pieces you just posted. As a note, I finally broke down and got a LiveJournal. I blame all of you.

Lovely work so far Ellen! The phoenix illustration is going to be amazing when it's done. Its got such a flow to it.

You pencil shading on both portraits is great too! So much details. It's going to look fantastic when it's all done!

Pre-cut ACEO watercolor paper!!! O_o!! I'd love that!!! Would that be possible??? And how much would you charge?

Your drawings are amazing!!!! I can't wait to see them painted. Glad to have inspired some experimentation, hee hee. ^_^
