Happy Earth Day!

Rae — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 00:08:12 +0000

I spent most of this morning outside pulling weeds and trying to get the yard back in shape. The on-again off-again rain and sun has turned my backyard into a jungle. There’s tons of wildlife right now, and it was good to be out in the sunshine and playing in the dirt. The only thing is I don’t believe I would wish star jasmine on my worst enemy. I have no idea how long the backyard was neglected for, but it has grown from one corner of the yard onto every available tall surface.

Here is the other piece inspired by a song: Blue Caravan by Vienna Teng.

Because flours are romantic!

“Borrowed” the title for this piece from Eric. This was inspired by a bit of 7th Seas fan fiction that was written many many moons ago. Ah, how I miss the CCG…

Hera

Eventually I’ll have all 12 of the Olympian gods and goddesses done. For now, Hera relaxing at her spring.

Labyrinth

This piece is inspired by SJ Tuckers’ Come To The Labyrinth. I’ve been doing a lot of catching up on old ideas (I have a list that has been constantly growing for the past several years) though this is one of the younger ones. I’ll have another “art inspired by song” piece up later.

Colored Coffee Angel

I really love how this piece turned out. A poor overworked angel, taking a coffee break…gotta find time to enjoy the little things!

Strategicon Artwork

Here’s a fun piece for Strategicon 2010. I keep promising myself I won’t do knights on horseback…

New sketch

Here is a new character sketch for a game I’m currently in. Carrow is a mage-theif who seems to have a bad habit of burning down every location she stays at for too long. That and voodoo-dolls.

A few sketches

Rae — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 16:36:45 +0000

The first one here is a commission sketch of a knight on horseback – ink only. The second one is a fun little sketch that I’ll hopefully have time to finish coloring this week.

Mermaid's Pearl

Rae — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:19:26 +0000

I have finally found my kryptonite; thy name is mono! I highly recommend never catching that as it leaves a person unproductive and constantly tired. Finally all better and back on track.

This piece was conceived last year during Relay For Life, a American Cancer Association marathon and fundraiser. A pearl is an irritant, formed when bits of sand and debris get caught under the shell of a mollusk. While beautiful once removed, it is ultimately a foreign object in the body. A scallop was chosen as the mollusk representative since they also form pearls, but due to being rare(er) and more difficult to find, they are generally not hunted for like clams and overlooked. Watercolor.
