I Found My Heaven

(view on Tumblr!)

 

 I see the stars in the freckles on her face,
And I'm seeing God every time she says my name.
So mother Mary, pray for me,
Without her I'm so lost,
Her love is my religion. 

Sketched up while listening to "Her Love is My Religion" by The Cab. 

  

I hope this makes up for the cascade of feels from yesterday's post! Jace and Clary (she's got her Voyance Rune!) just... stupidly happy! These poor two haven't had a moment to really be *happy* with each other. I mean, come on, look at his grin.

The song, too, is just so much them in my eyes. Jace even says he doesn't believe in God, but he believes in their love so... :)

Give it a listen! it's a great song.

Sebastian Verlac

I did a doodle of Sebastian/Johnathan from "City of Glass"done on Nintendo DS - with some leveling done in Photoshop.

Like and Reblog on Tumblr!

"Watch" me paint it on the Colours DS Page!

Enjoy :)

City of Glass: Morning Light (Complete)

A scene meant to take place in Cassandra Clare's "City of Glass", between Chapters 14 and 15.
PS: The Morgenstern ring design is actually off of the very wonderful Hebel Design! Check out their awesome Jewelry!

Sketch: Ezio Auditore

#art #Fanart Wanted to share this! Will be coloured when I can manage it. He's not entirely 'on model' according to the game's timeline (dat stubble) but that's what license is for, right?

Quick Colour: My City

#Edmonton #Alberta 

Speedpaint: VonLansing the Turian

Some @MassEffect inspired art today. I miss my Turian Sentinel. And multiplayer. And Gaming.

I'd say it's a significant jump from previous depictions of him, wouldn't you?

 I love variety!

Speedpaint: Welcome to Silent Hill

A nice place to visit, but...


Done on Nintendo DS using Colours 3D after watching the movie again.

@EdmontonExpo: It is the Con You're Looking For

Wow! Only one day and I'm blown away! Where do I begin? For a first year convention, the staff at the Expo center were quite helpful, knowledgable and polite! As these things are touch and go (You never know what the crowds will do!) they adapted well under the pressure.
It was a bit confusing navigating from Con Floor to the Panel rooms, but it does help to find some giant signs with helpful letters along the way!

The Con floor was a great space! Never felt too crowded - except when the Guest lines started forming (Lando drew in quite a crowd!) But otherwise I never felt trapped. This was nice too, as I'm usually stuck behind a table, so it was nice to get such an open view of things. Things like -

Misha Collins- I'm not gonna lie, this is the guy I wanted to see the most. He was so wonderful and nice and patient and great and attentive and I can't believe he even has the smallest piece of artwork I've done on his person. He really liked it! He was late to the signing, but we'll forgive him for that.  (My sketch card below - will post all on it's lonesome tomorrow!)

I also got to share a personal story with him, which he was very glad I shared with him, and I'm glad I had the chance to.. well.... at all! Sorry folks, I won't say the details here but it was something important to me and I'm just glad it happened. :)

But the rest was just a fantastic blur! We also met Charisma Carpenter- who was also wonderful and sweet. I'd like to return tomorrow with a sketch card for her - if I don't pass out. I am exhausted!
Although tomorrow portfolio reviews are on the docket, so it will indeed be On™!


Have some random con photos, I'll be posting more tomorrow!

Sketches: Ghost and Shadow Hunters

Updated sketch pages collecting all of my recent Supernatural sketch studies to include Castiel, and the actors playing the Mortal Instruments characters in the upcoming City of Bones movie to include Lily Collins!

And another stray Winchester of course.

Sketch: The Winchester Bros

And a Castiel- "Dean, it's not funny, the voice says I'm almost out of minutes."

I drew these quick while we were catching up on Season 7. I'd like to think I'm getting okay at caricature-ing them, but I'm just going to keep on practicing! Also a quick interpretation of their differing body-types.

Sam's sideburns are characters of their own, I will say. 

Sketch: Shadowhunter Art Lessons

 

Older!Clary with Julian, two artist Shadowhunters. 

I imagine older Clary would teach some art classes when she can manage it. Using one of Jace's old t-shirts as a smock. And Julian, our aspiring artist listening to what tips she has to offer in this life drawing class. 

Clary's face gave me so many problems, and I'm still not satisfied, but there's only so many times you can erase. I may do another pass at the idea later.

Sketch: Julian Blackthorn

WIP sketch of Julian Blackthorn from The Dark Artifices Series that... doesn't exist yet! With what little info available, I imagine him being as adept at wielding a paintbrush as well as a seraph blade. Will be coloured soon!

Sketches: Browder and Ackles

Sketches of Ben Browder and Jensen Ackles respectively (Ackles is below the line) to do some studies of their faces. One of our protagonists in The Refuge has a look that's been decided to be a combination of these two, hence my notes on facial construction.

How odd would it be to say these things you notice to the people you notice them? As an artist it's just something you see, but I don't think the person would be so comfortable.

I need to practice my Ackles more, I think. But my Browder is looking okay, which is good because there is a Farscape picture I'd like to do...

Sketch: Two Turtles and a Rat

Catching up on my sketchbook scans! I did them mostly by memory. Splinter is the one I cheated a teeny bit with.

Sketch: Ookami The DJ

Since the last upload was a RE upload, here's a new one! A semi-realistic pen sketch of the male protagonist in "The Refuge" named "Ookami". He's popped up many times before, and this is certainly not the last time you'll see him. At least this time Alex isn't teasing him!

I'd like to do a series of these, I think! It'd be fun. 

Tell me, how old do you think he looks here? I'm curious.

Sketches: RE Herondale and Blackthorn

As promised, the full page of sketches for mister Blackthorn and Herondale, respectively.
Full body sketches soon!

Mortal Instruments Cast Sketches

Part one?

Godfrey (playing Magnus Bane) and Kevin (playing Alec Lightwood) both had birthdays in September, and I thought it'd be fun to do a sketch for each cast memember as they had their birthday.

Kevin's is somewhere below in the blog, and not really all that satisfying. This sketch I like better! Although there's something I know I missed because it doesn't quite *look* like him still... 

All things considered though, the fact I did these at all blows my mind a little. I wonder what past me would think.

Jemima (Who plays Isabelle Lightwood) I'm pretty pleased with, on the other hand. Although I don't know when her birthday is. :)

These were drawn up using photos picked at random from Google with very minor tweaks on my part. Mostly minute alterations to expressions.

Winning Love by Daylight

The two leading characters of "The Refuge" dressed as Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. While I think I'll take another pass on the idea, I still liked this sketch, and I didn't want to just post it without some colour!

Spotlight

A sort of conceptual piece for something I tentatively have planned. Imagry is going to play a big role. Not sure if this was a success or not but I know I need to move on to the next piece!

Another painting done on the  Nintendo DS

Cliffside

I'm embarrassed to think about how long it's been since I uploaded to this blog! So I'll just stick to the art.

Painted on my 3DS using Colours!
