Well, it’s a bit into April now…I’m late! Oh noes!
March began with an art trade. I must say that I am enjoying the art trades! The friend wrote me a fun, short story in return. I completed one illustration…I wish I would have done more, but I think I had burnt myself out in February on them. I need to find a happy medium that won’t burn me out, but still allows me to keep up a decent pace.
My goal for April is to complete two illustrations because one per month is just a snail crawl pace that I don’t want to repeat! If I finished only one per month, it would take nearly two years for me to complete the illustrations…No thanks!
Rudy – my friend’s character.
General Bester – one of my characters in the MMO, Star Trek Online. He is a joined trill who is about to kick some ass. Yes…I sort of modeled him after a certain Alfred Bester from Babylon 5!
Books read
I caved into the craze and bought The Hunger Games. It was only 6 bucks at Walmart, and my fellow literary snobs said it was a good read and nothing like Twilight. Much to my own shock, I loved the book, and, indeed, it is nothing like Twilight. I finished it a few days ago, so it doesn’t go towards the March book count. I plan to write a review and post my thoughts on my goodreads account.
I put all my little peg dolls in a tin so that I could carry them outside for a photoshoot. I found a beautiful spot, set the tin down, opened the lid, and *gasp!* Bester!
I swear, I did not put him in there like that!
Now that my computer problem is fixed, here are the official graphics for the last two dolls (I, Me and I, Marcus) Both of these will be added to Needles and Pins.
I, Me
I, Marcus
Marcus was made as a gift for my wonderful friend, E.R., so he is not in the I, Me photoshoot. Rest assured, he has a great home now!
I couldn’t help myself and painted a “me” peg doll since I love the show, Babylon 5, so much and created a lot of art (not to mention stories) related to it.
Here she is! The unpainted doll beside her is going to be Londo.
I, Me – Wooden peg doll. It comes to no surprise that she is a Psi Corps telepath…
~ Part II of November’s post.
November was such a creative month for me. I thoroughly enjoyed working on the things I did. I loved experimenting with new loom knitting techniques; here’s to hoping my niece likes her baby doll!
Captain, the warp drive is back online. Orders?
Engage Photoshop, full speed ahead!
Without further adieu, here is Part Two!
Bester’s Wife – Colored pencil
She is the rarely mentioned wife of Alfred Bester from Babylon 5.
His Summons – Colored pencil
Based on a Babylon 5 RP I was in several months ago. She was summoned to a certain Psi Cop’s office…
Uber Mega Con – Colored pencil
This was just a fun sketch I did at the spur of the moment. It’s actually a redo of something I drew back in 2005. I’ll have to dig up and find the older drawing…eventually.
