All local Provo/Utah peeps-

Fruits Basket Party, tonight, 6pm-midnight,
Apartment upstairs from mine, be there or be square.

:]

And, some art-
I never got around to scanning this before. It’s the gals of my comic, colored penciled. I actually did it one P-day on my mission. I never finished Jia’s outfit. Oh well. Elleghany’s eyes are actually gold–sorry, I was doing it from memory. :) Lah!

the gals in color

I spent most of the afternoon scanning really old stuff I never got around to scanning before. Some are from a year before my mission. But still pretty good stuff. :]

You know this 80's movie

On a long car trip, my ride had the “Legend” Tangerine Dream Soundtrack. Fun randomness. So I listened and drew this. :)

Discworld’s Death — I love this guy.
HP Dressrobes — kinda me, all HP’ed up!
Pretty sketch
Scene in the Persian Court — for a story I’ve been working on forever, but that will probably never see the light of day. :[
guess how old this is
Masquerade Wallflowers
winged elf with dragon :)
yet another mermaid — I love mermaids
Belldandy — From Ah, My Goddess. I saw, like, 2 espisodes

My mom found my wacom tablet! Yea!! Now for some down and dirty photoshop messing. :]

I’m working on composing my “sketchbook” for my portfolio. Here are some good ones I did in the last year and a half:

The Purple Siren, lounging

Pirate costumes, I like pirates. :)

The Goblin Queen, from a fairy story I’ve been working on.

Pretty portraits of several charas from Purple.

And . . . the first robots I’ve ever drawn! exciting.

First fanart of my favorite twisted couple, Tom and Metis from Dreamwalk Blue. The other one is awaiting color.

And this one was inspired by chatting too many hours with a certain long-haired gothboy. ^__^

My Purple FTP is hating me again, bah.

I went shopping! Clothes! And to the temple. ^_^
And, I’ve lost weight! o.o I’m not complaining. This is a gooood thing.

Happy Valentines Day. :]
Phantom Valentine
(Note: this is not a happy picture)

Whoo, doing art like this is very therapeutic. I was feeling similarly when I drew it. I feel better now. Eee, colors . . .

All right, opinions needed. I try to keep all of my characters unique. Are these two too similar? They have the same face and nose shape, but different eyes, lips and hairline. Bea has long curly hair, Rachel’s is mostly wavy. Bea is dark skinned, with dark eyes and hair (most of the time ;) and Rachel is light skinned with light/mousey brown hair, warm brown eyes.

They inhabit two entirely different story universes. Beatrice is the main character of my modern spaceopera comic, and Rachel is my Phantom of the Opera phan character. *cough* They won’t be meeting in anything but funky off-topic drawings.

They have similar body types, though Rachel may be larger chested, since she gets to wear corsets and doesn’t run around fighting crime constantly. (oops, did I let something slip there? :P)

The reason they are so similar is because I like drawing that type of face/nose/body type. But I still need honest opinions. Is it too much? (the only one I can change now is Rachel, and I do like her so . . . :( )

I did a quick color on this pic of Cyrus, in case anyone wanted to know that he wears red.

I want to color this one, but someone give me crits first. I can’t fix her hand.

Isn’t it cute though! :D Beatrice and Jeff doing the anchor step of the West Coast Swing. I love this dance, it’s rhythmic and sexy. ^_^ This couldn’t happen in the comic (Jeff wouldn’t know how to swing, though he would know . . . other dances :] ), but hey, it’s cute. Here’s an info page on West Coast Swing.

I tried to fix the hand on my colored La Sirena pic, so it should look better now.

If no one comments on this art post I’m going to have to go around kicking some butt electronically. *growl snap* (is grouchy)

I sat down and actually scanned some of the stuff that’s been hanging around my room for months (or years), so lots to see here.

Costumes–
The makeup design for my halloween costume in 2000 (yes, it’s that old) I went to a little theatre production of Yeston’s Phantom in this. (anybody see the reference? ;) The Charlotta said I looked “gruesome.” :]

Early design of my Electrocutioner costume for the Haunted House this Halloween. It ended up differently (I didn’t get my bodice done till a month afterwards), but all the basic elements are there, duct tape, cords, makeup, wrapped hands.
