Dragon Lore & Spirited Away Art Updates

Bonjour!

Thought I'd share some photos of two illustrations in progress for Enchanted Visions. The concepts behind them are so weird and cool that it's got me super excited （*´▽｀*）

'Dragon Lore' is getting there. Oh, and is that a finger attacking the dragon!?

Dragon Lore

Hello Hello! ヽ(^。^)ノ


Here's a little snippet of Dragon Lore, my newest illustration for Enchanted Visions.

The concept behind this illustration is transformation. The little girl is receiving her wings from the dragon (the process doesn't look too pleasant, eh?). I'm still trying to decide on the rest of the colours for the piece. I'm leaning towards misty greys and purples, and trying not to go nuts with the colour like I usually do.

Shades of Blue Faerie Painting & a Free Colouring Page!

My newest Faerie Illustration! 

The colour pallet was inspired by the Enchanted Visions theme 'Shades of Blue'. 

I absolutely love designing enchanted Faerie fashions; I'm very inspired by Victorian fashion, gothic intrigue, and earth tones. I'm very pleased with how this dress turned out, and would love to see it in real life. If only I could sew (one day I'm determined to learn). 

Some of my favourite details in this are all of the faces painted into the stone ruins, the little black birds, and the black mushrooms. What an oasis of enchantment! ^_^

Anyway, I hope you like this piece!

Along Came a Spider - WIP

A little shot of a work in progress. I experimented by laying down a wash of light peach (in watercolours), adding red to the shoulders, cheeks, nose, etc... and then when it dried I shaded using Copic Markers. Interesting effect, though I wish the shading looked smoother. I'm still deciding on whether to paint the hair a whitish beige, or blacks and greys (drastically different choices, eh?). I'm also wondering about the dress.. and am thinking of doing a lace pattern (but black or white lace?!)... :]

This piece is inspired by the Enchanted Visions theme of 'Along Came a Spider', and the fae's name is Astrid (named after a friend of mine), and is pronounced AUS (like AUS-tralia) Treed. ^_^

Spirited Away has been inked! Hurrah!

A sketch of a painting I'm working on for the Enchanted Visions project. This month's theme is Spirited Away. Let's hope I can make the deadline!
