The Awakening

I have a new digital painting today, it is the same girl that I showed a progress shot of last week. I turned her into a zombie. In my opinion, she looks fierce I love her =D

This is actually my first zombie I have created since 2012 that is so weird but it is also because I am terrified of zombies. I kid you not, a person that loves to draw creepy things is afraid of something lol.

I actually was never afraid of them till the movie from 2004 came out Dawn of the Dead. It was mainly because of the little girl that freaked me out so bad that now I am so scared of them that I can't watch anything with them in it... Till The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead I watch just because I am trying to unscare myself. However I still run from the room when it gets to bad. One or two maybe a handful of zombies are ok but when you get a horde nope, I'm out lol

Enough rambling here she is...

The Awakening

Isn't she awesome =D

???

I have a new wip (work in progress) shot for you guys today. I'm not exactly sure where this painting is going yet, could be a girl just walking, a zombie or a fairy who knows. Either way I love how I am finally getting movement into my paintings. I use to make it where the girls are so stiff but I am trying my hardest to do more action pack paintings. I still have a lot to learn but getting there =D I always think though no matter how could you get you can always learn new stuff. So there is always improvements to be made.

Nothing new to report on my end, just been working on well everything and yet still feel like I have nothing to show lol. I will get there sooner or later =D

Getting There!!!

My list is finally getting shorter and then I can finally get to more painting in digital and acrylic =D

Lets see... I have narrowed down some comics for Ellie, right now I have 23 chosen and I need 52 for a full years worth. Once I have narrowed it down to 52 then I can begin drawing, outline and color it. It's a long and tedious process but i'm getting there =D I also might just start working on the 23 and later go back to narrowing down, we'll see.

I have also finalized my Creepie Cuties website so it is ready to go, really this time it is =D I even changed some of the images to my favorite girls like Voodoo Girl #1, Haunting and Star Catching. They are promptly front and center on the site =D So all i'm waiting on now is Matty to get the free time from his work (he codes for a living on other peoples sites) to do mine but it shouldn't be to long now.

What else is new, oh yes I have also drawn 11 aceo images to start practicing acrylics again. I'm very excited about this and these girls are of course voodoo girls and some are of voodoo/monster creatures. They are so awesome looking =D

ACEOs are the size of a baseball card 2.5 x 3.5 and are very sought after from fans of the artist. They are either original art or prints and usually are the cheapest way to get originals from your favorite artist. Once I start getting better I will release these as original done in acrylics and the price I am thinking will be $10.00 - $12.00 not at all bad for an original =D

Summer Weather!

I swear this has to be the most rainiest summer I can remember, blah! Now remind you I love thunder storms specially during the day, I love when the storm is just rolling in and haven't rained yet and you can see the darkness coming in that is the best part. However last night was so bad that the thunder actually rolled down our car window and the passenger seat got soaked.

Today has been a blah day, I got so sick to my stomach this morning I actually slept all day minus eating a little lunch then went right back to bed. I'm up now and has tons of work to do.

I need to add my last image Voodoo Girl #1 to all the products I have so far on zazzle. Need to work on Creepie Ellie to get that going (to draw it and paint ect.) I have to choose comic panels I have over 200 comic ideas and need to narrow it down to only 52 for the first year. Then I also want to work on creating more voodoo girls for acrylics not to mention more Creepie Cuties for digital. Also I have to work on the secret project that Matt and I are working on.  Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

Oh and also to finalize my site for Creepie Cuties since Matt is almost ready to code it and get it up live. Talking about more website stuff, I also need to come up with an idea for Creepie Ellie and finalize it since it is only a couple months away now =D Only 79 Days Left! Eeep!! To much to do!

But first must eat dinner then off to work, not sure what to do first but I will manage. I love my job =D I love staying busy, specially with it being my own creations. I love to create my own little whimsical/creepy world =D

Voodoo Girl #1

She is done and I am totally in love with here, I had so much fun making her that this is going to be a series of digital and acrylic paintings basically never ending. =D

Here is Voodoo Girl #1

Now of course the tiredness is really starting to hit me, I can barely keep my eyes open while I type this. So I think i'm gonna go take a short nap and then when I get up I will be working on some stuff for Creepie Ellie.

New Character!!!

Another sleepless night grrrr! So instead I started creating and madly have fallen in love with this new character I drew.

Lately I have been playing around of getting back into painting with acrylics but since i'm so rusty (last time I painted in acrylics was back in February/March 2010) I wanted to start a little easier. Instead of jumping right in with my girls because of how difficult they will be because of all the colors, I created a new character along with her companions She has a whole story behind her but for now you guys will just have to settle with the wip shot of her.

This of course is a digital painting of her and it is called Voodoo Girl

I am so in love with her. I thought since I started my art career with voodoo dolls I might as well begin again with acrylics and she is perfect =D

Can't Sleep

Meh! I can't fall asleep I tried laying down since 12:30 this morning and finally decided to just get up and work, not to mention I have a huge headache which I think it is time to get a new pillow.

Yesterday Matt and I went out to eat and then we went and seen Inside Out in the theaters, omg that is such a cute movie =D Once again Pixar and Disney made me cry and in public lol (thank goodness it was dark)

A couple of days ago I finished a new image of Ellie which I will be posting everywhere today. I needed a new image for twitter for the comic, which by the way you guys can follow that as well here (twitter.com/creepieellie) 

Right now I am working on a new mermaid piece which I don't have a name for it yet but of course Shark Week helped me out on this piece though hehehe. This piece features Australian Ghost Sharks that I have never heard of till this week and they are the cutest things ever. I think these guys are in my list of favorite sharks.

Here is a list of my favorite sharks

1.) Angel Sharks

2.) Whale Sharks

3.) Caribbean Reef Sharks

4.) Leopard Sharks

5.) Nurse Sharks

6.) Hammer Head Sharks

7.) Mega Mouth Sharks

8.) Basking Sharks

9.) Spotted Smooth Hound Sharks

And now 

10.) Australian Ghost Sharks

I am hoping to finish this piece sometime today that is the key word hoping =D

Here is a sketch of the image, of course it needs a lot of work but that is why I draw first then I do digital to get all the kinks out. Don't ask what the heck happened to her hands lol and of course this could change between now and when I am done with the outline.

I have no clue what I'm going to be doing in the background yet hence the reason why I put a skull there and seaweed. I will eventually come up with something.

Shark Week!!!

Best week of the year (other than Halloween) I love shark week and usually I just plant myself in front of the tv for the whole week and draw. However I can't this year with the new webcomic and a secret project I am doing with the love of my live Matt really don't have the time =(. I will though record most of the shows so I can watch them later at night.

Lets see what else is new... Oh yes, yesterday was the 4th of July and guess what I did I hurt the same ankle I hurt back in December smh, I swear I am destined to break it in my life time. Thank gooodness I haven't broken any bones in my 33 years of existence on this planet specially with playing so many sports and a semi accident prone/klutz. Thankfully it is better today so no worries but I am sure it will bite me in my butt down the road =/

Last night instead of watching the fireworks Matt and I decided to watch a movie. We watched Home omg that is such a cute movie. Yes I cried and laughed so if you haven't seen it I recommend you guys do =D

I have to upload some digi/coloring images up on my Etsy shop then, it is time to make dinner and maybe watch some shark week hopefully =D

Updated!

I finally got around to updating my Flickr and Pinterest account with all my art work from 2012 to recent.

Flickr

Pinterest

Yes I have been doing art since November 2008 but I think 2012 is the year that I started to really get better at it and taking my art more seriously then just a side project.

I am finally getting my art out to the public, very happy about that. Now I think to reward myself I am going to go practice acrylic painting =D and of course work on my sites that so need to get up as soon as possible.

Star Catching!

I am done with my new digital painting that I showed you guys earlier this morning and I am so happy with her, may I say she is such a creepie cutie =D

Star Catching - A little goth girl loves to catch stars and I am pretty sure she lets them go or the sky would be dark. Who knows in this world these creepie cuties do love the dark =D

I am starving so I think it is time to eat =D We are having tacos well I am having a taco salad (nacho doritos, mild sauce, taco meet and cheese) and I think Matty is having nacho hard tacos. Shoot that even sounds good. Now my stomach is aching for food didn't realise I was this hungry =P

Really!!!

Monday June 29th (there is a reason why I am putting a date on this just keep reading) Matt and I went to Hobby Lobby to get some acrylic paints so I can work on trying to re teach myself on how to paint. I will say this I hate Hobby Lobby but unfortunately my favorite craft store Michael's is an hour away from were we live =( and this Joann's that is near us they are right next to Hobby Lobby only has fabric and little stuff here and there =/

Anyways you will not believe what they (Hobby Lobby) had up, they had freaking Christmas and Fall stuff up. It wasn't even July yet and they had that stuff up and of course they don't put up the Halloween stuff till August I swear no one gives Halloween a chance (my favorite holiday and I only get to see it for less then 2 months ='( )

I will say this though seeing that stuff is making me really want to paint some Halloween/Fall stuff so bad. I might actually do that after these next paintings that I have already in the works.

Which reminds me this is the reason why I am writing in the first place but that little rant on no one gives Halloween a chance =( sort of just snicked up on me lol. I have a work in progress on my next digital painting

I am calling this painting Star Catching she is such a cutie but of course has that creepiness feeling to her. Her dress even has little skulls all over it. I should have her done some time today hopefully =D
