Whale, no 1…

He and the rainbow demonpillar (caterpillar+ demon) are actually related.they like the souls of people and like making other demons laugh to death.he is not as giant as his sibling but he is very tall around 8ft.

More octopode-y adventures.

A spot of Monday motivation!

It's a yin-yang kind of thing on the go here.

More sketchbook work of Meadhbh. Decided to use the sepia Micron pens as my primary tool, with the Bic ballpoint playing a supporting role.

Missing people watching in public, and the smells and sounds of a coffeehouse. Pencil drawing with some digital painting.

This was Emma Thompson in one of my favourite films, Stranger Than Fiction - she is brilliant! I used just colouring pencils in this one to try out a soft, harmonious look, on the background of blue A4 card. I quite like the relationship between the foreground and background in this piece; had the background been white, I don't think it would have worked as well.

"We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents." - Bob Ross.

Something earthy.

And that concludes the current sketchbook!

An ode to the seas, sailing and other malarkey relating to that theme.

Always a weirdly beautiful moment when you butcher your spelling momentarily, only to discover you’ve inadvertently found the very artwork title for you were looking for...hehehe.

Meadhbh standing while clasping her forearm. Two drawing details along with two in-progress scans of my technique: red Bic pen layer first, then green layer and finally the yellow ink layer. Bic4 Ballpoint Pen on Archival 9” x 12” paper. Model: Meadhbh (Maeve).

Tuesday night (or is Wednesday morning?) is alright for improvising, that much is true.

Not nice. Not happy. An unhappy ending to an unhappy and struggling world. we tried . Now we have been given Illoniri, we start over, and this time the people are different, not just human, but elves and orcs, and people made of candy . Hope starts when we give up hopelessness and embrace new. Don't ask yourself which of these last people you may be . Just ask yourself if you want a better world than this. It really isn't about becoming someone, but finding out who you really are. Bloom .

Another illustration for today!

So it’s not awful. It’s just not great. I tried to upload something. It wasn’t big enough apparently. So I am doing this one.... it’s interesting.

Faces in watercolor

It's easy to forget that cats are actually little ghouls...they want to hunt and kill stuff almost as much as they want to cuddle up with you when it's cold (yes, they are also heat vampires). But they are also complex and amazing little fur-suited people.

This just happened, and that's all I can say really.

Would old Victor be proud? Who knows...

When your local art store drops by your house to drop off new supplies, that's the perfect excuse to crack on with new projects!

Feeling extra inspired today, it seems!

The name for this piece comes from a billboard I noticed as I was heading home from a shopping trip not too long ago, and it’s stuck with me ever since. Life in lockdown (needless to say) brings with it plenty of time for us all to learn and get creative in whatever way works best..

This time with squids!
