Inspiration??

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 14, 2009, 1:38 PM



I am in deep need of some inspiration/motivation! I am wanting to draw, but lacking the desire to do anything I think of =[

I have done an acrylic painting of an African Hunting Dog that I'll be photographing and uploading (I felt like working with real materials for a change) soon.

I've been looking at various animals, but am rather struggling!

Realism? Anime? Realism of Anime characters/animals perhaps (I did enjoy Akiro and the Fire Horse)?

I may draw a Sailor Scout just out of boredom =[

I've been thinking of drawing a night-time Victorian scene from worms-eye-view with a cat (anime with a realistic edge), but I'm not sure whether to paint that with acrylics..hmmm..

Any help??


P.S. Snow-puff gallery will be back up soon. The last server were awful and not worth the money I paid them, so Snow-puff has been transferred to a much better host and will be back up this week!

Commissions

Journal Entry: Thu Mar 20, 2008, 1:52 PM



I will now take commissions. The subject manner can be of any variety -your pet, your own character/fursona, a random fantasy character etc.
The drawings are of a digital nature and examples can be found in my gallery; however I am also happy to draw traditional media commissions.
Each picture I draw takes between 10 and 20+ hours to create.

The cost is subject to change and heavily depends on the size of the canvas, the background, number of subjects and other details.
We would have to discuss the details to decide upon a price.
(See gallery for more examples)

Example 1 -small canvas, not too detailed background, head shot:


Example 2 -extra large canvas, highly detailed background, full body:



ANIME COMMISSIONS
Price: £15-35+ / $40-70+

Bring on 2008

Sat Jan 5, 2008, 9:38 AM
2008 is going to be a happier year than 2007 and things are already looking up for me :3 first and foremost love, along with family.

I had a good christmas, albeit very busy. My sister and her family had flown in from Florida and my brother and his girlfriend (now fiance) flew in from Estonia. I stayed at the family home for the week and it was hectic what with the schedule and my little niece and baby nephew causing havoc. Wonderful, though. I am now getting to spend time with my partner (although not as much as I would like ;3)

I was given a 120 set of prismacolor pencils as a christmas present, which was lovely. I have not used these before, only idolised their quality. I have thus far drawn one picture, although I am using textured paper which does not take advantage of their smooth consistency, but I do like the textured look as an alternative to my digital drawing. I will scan the pictures that I do draw.

I have organised my gallery, or rather created a realism folder to segregate my work. I am very tempted to delete a lot of my older work (mainly out of embarrassment!), but then again it's nice to see where I started.

I may start doing commissions, mainly for animal realism. I would imagine people's pets would be a top request.

Take care x

Updates :3

Sorry I have not updated in a while; I have been lurking >:3. Going through a bit of an art block at present so hence the lack of new pieces, although I'm gradually casually working on that art meme that's going around everywhere o.o;

I am feeling rather vulnerable as of recent but hopefully that shall fade. Things are thingy as usual, but looking to improve (on having my unicorn one could say) :3 cannot believe how soon it is until Christmas again..what a year it has been!! I'm quite emotionally and physically drained XD
Thought I'd treat myself to a subscription as it's my birthday this weekend ^^ note to self: must make nice-looking journal to take fully advantage.

Take care all

Turning Japanese

Mon Jul 30, 2007, 1:22 PM
Good evening all,

I must say, I am very much turning to Japanese ink, watercolour and charcoal styles at present. I bought a few inks and a new brush (although not the traditional Japanese ink and no wolf hair brush). I have been creating various relatively simple Japanese pictures using such methods. It does not compare to how it would look on traditional rice paper, but close enough :3. Unfortunately I do not have a scanner large enough to place any on here. I find real drawings far more relaxing than online, so it is a shame I cannot share them.

I would like to own some prisma pencils at some point -they are incredible for coloured pencils, lovely and smooth..however they are damned expensive. Well, a girl can dream :3 I also quite fancy a fish tank o.o..but I digress :3

Take care everyone,

Claire x
