My Family Portrait

When I was strapped for cash, my friend, Rachel, commissioned me. She asked that I draw my family through my eyes. I drew us as Pixie, Bluejake and my daughter, Grim. We have elf ears because of our love for fantasy, the art we do and everything we are into. I love this piece. I had to draw us seperately and I put us together in Photoshop. I did the colors with Prisma color and the line work was done with Sharpie pens, the new sharpie pens are amazing. They don't bleed at all and they won't fade as I erase the pencil work that I did and when I have to go over the lines after coloring something, it dries fast.

So, here is the beautiful picture. :D

Mid Week Post

I started this week with my comic all planned out. I am very proud of myself as I rarely get to this point. I am gonna work a little slower as I need to get my fairy logo finished and I have a gargoyles RP that I am heading. I have 3 people who help me but it is my main character at the head of the game. I am excited about it but I really only have the 3 other people who are playing the game with me and I love them all but we are all playing multiple characters to fill out the clan. I am not saying I don't have any fun. I think I am asking for some players who might be interested in a turn-based role play game that is based on the old Disney cartoon called 'Gargoyles'. I can give you the information if you leave a comment but I don't want to leave the information just laying around. Sorry.

I am happy because it is raining out here today. It makes the day darker and easier to sleep during the day. I had a busy night last night at work, because of the rain. We get lots of power outages and troubles and so we get to know all about them and wake people up to tell them. Anyways, I think Sunday night I will do this month's interview and I will be posting more art as I finish it. Also, once I get the site URL for the fairy logo I will post it every time I make a post here.

Avatar and Elfquest

Ok. I saw James Cameron's Elfquest, I mean Avatar, this last weekend and was blown away by the shear scale and depth of the culture of the aliens, their belief's, the way they walk, the culture, the way the people interacted. It was a familiar story, I have seen it before, but I love it and I think what made this stand out as a excellent movie is the detail you put into this picture. I love that everything was thought of, the way they eat, how they kill, how they talk to each other even. It is what I wish the Elfquest movie was going to be like. The sad thing is, I don't think they will. WETA is the company that did the special effects and the art direction and the people who took the time to go into the detail of the culture.

Hell, the movie could've been great as a trilogy... and maybe Elfquest could push for that... make the first 2 books in the first movie, the third book a second movie, pull a bad guys are winning ending like in Empire Strike's Back and then book 4 in the final movie. I also think that we as the fans shouldn't know anything AT ALL about the movie. Just know it is going on. I will be happy with everything we get. Just to see the movie poster and see it on the big screen will be amazing and I will cry from joy, I know it.
