Holiday Doodle

Here is a special little holiday-themed drawing of Nessa and Aidan. I hope you all have a very happy holiday and new year! Thank you for following my blog.

Recombined

Here is my contribution to this week's "What the Doodle?" exercise on the Creative Juices blog. The word was RECOMBINED.

Roommate Caricatures

I don't very often attempt to draw cartoons, but a couple years ago I lived with a group of people so interesting and different that I could not resist the temptation to try to capture them in caricatures. I just dug this up from my old forgotten computer files last night.

Thorne Munny

I went out and bought one of those blank Munny Dolls to paint - something I've always wanted to try but I never got around to it. After some thought about what to do with it the answer was pretty obvious. I painted it in the image of Mr. Thorne, a character from Wooden Rose. I am quite happy with the result. It's pretty fun to have a toy figurine of your own character.

Aidan Thorne

A second attempt at painting Mr. Thorne from Wooden Rose. I am much happier with the outcome this time.

Costumes!

My friends and I decided to all dress up as Batman villains for Halloween this year. We then found out that the Boston comic-con was the weekend before Halloween and the coincidence was just too perfect to pass up. So here we all are dressed up and ready to head off to the con. And we were indeed very popular there. That's me on the far left dressed up as Harley Quinn, followed by Poison Ivy, Riddler, Cat Woman, and Scarecrow.

We all designed and put our costumes together ourselves. I found some of the parts for mine separately, but I made a few of the details myself such as the hat, which I could not find any where. It was the first time I have put so much cost and effort into a costume and it was worth it.

WTD: Pelagic

I learned a new word for this week's WTD on Creative Juices. The word was "pelagic", which means "of, relating to, or living or occurring in the open sea". What a perfect excuse to draw mermaids! :)
