holding a dream

This painting took ages.. it was a mixture of bad timing and slightly off-inspiration..
but at the end, everything worked out and I think this turned out just right :)

This was a commissioned painting by a friend.

digital commission.

A simple digital commission for Kare Ink.
I had so much fun painting her face but kinda lost interest in the hair and wings.

ohayocon commission.

This is a simple watercolor commission for a visitor
at Ohayocon 2010 at Ohio last week. It's pretty fun to make!

tempting persephone.

A painting for a repeat customer's blog: Tempting Persephone.
She really liked my painting Persephone Destroys the Light,
so I made a matching one just for her. They look like sisters to me now :)

Here is the work in progress:
I think I'll make bookmarks of this image soon,
so keep checking back to my etsy! I add stuff very often!

banner design.

I am now offering custom etsy banner designs.
I did all four in 2 hours! They were the most fun ever.

hey you!

This is a commissioned caricature portrait of my friend Val.
He wanted a painting of himself surrounded by mini-Vals in his different personas:
the gambler, the filmmaker, the superhero, the don juan and the lacrosse player.
I'm not sure about the cat, though. Maybe he just likes cats.

Buffy with Rogue & Gambit

Commissioned cards of Buffy and Rogue with Gambit.
I had mad fun painting these :)!
Technically, Rogue would have sucked all the power out of Gambit once she touched him, but er.. I'm gonna call artistic license on this.

comic series II

Commissioned art trading cards. Good thing the commissioners gave me info about these comic book characters.. I had no idea who they were! But it was fun to make them and to find out about new characters. Wonder Woman is still my favorite though.
