Small Update

Its been a few days now since I last wrote so I thought I would show you what I am working on, other than Creepie Ellie of course. I can't show that just yet, can you believe there is only 38 days left YIKES!!!! So much to do still on that, I did do a muck up of the layout omg that's a relief in a half off my mind now. It looks great and I already have 3 fully done and 2 drawn so at least I have some to show =D

Enough of Ellie now on to a work in progress shot of my next creepie cuties. I am not sure what the name of her is yet so right now I am just calling her Voodoo Queen. This Cutie is looking for revenge and voodoo is her game =D

Here is the wip shot

I should be done with her in the next day or so, right now I am working on the outline and which I'm almost done with.

Ok back to work I go =D

Halloween Store

Today was the day I've been looking forward to since November of last year, when the best Halloween store would open.

Everyone that knows me knows that I am majorly obsessed of Halloween (and I have no clue why or how and when it started) but I can't get enough of it. Ok maybe I do know when it started, it started the year that I started creating my Creepie Cuties or at least that is what I remember anyways

Anyways I have been stalking Spirit Halloween since I saw the sign go up in our city a month or so ago and been patiently or more like foaming at the mouth till the day came when they opened. Let me tell you it was the biggest disappoint I have ever had with Spirit store. When I walked out I wanted to cry because I needed my Halloween fix.

The stuff they had was the cheapest made and look I have ever seen and with such a high price. The dollar store usually carries this type of stuff, top of all that since it was a small store it was more costumes then anything else. Which is fine since that is how they make most of their money but come on the decorations for the price they want should be a better quality.

So we had to go to a tech store to pick me up a cord for my tablet I swear I go through those like people would go through underwear. This is the 3rd time I had to replace my cord in the past year.

Well we also stopped by Hobby Lobby's just to see if they got their Halloween stuff in (when we went the last time they only had fall and of course Christmas stuff out) They normally put the Halloween stuff out closer to the middle/end of August.

Lets just say I was really impressed and I got my Halloween fix. This year was actually great stuff its not scary/creepy stuff but it is more kooky and whimsical that I like and started incorporating into my girls think more Haunting, Star Catching and Moon Fairy.

Ok I talked enough lets see what else is new... not much is new other than sending in my images to the imaging tube company that I signed with the other day. They did had a couple more new images so go check them out. There is 8 total images all my old ones but goodies are on there more to come soon.

Creepie Cuties at Mystical Scraps

Other than that still working on Ellie stuff and starting to draw a couple more Creepie Cuties for this week =D

Image Tubes

This post might not be interest of some but for others it might, I have some great news!!! I just signed a contract for my images to become tubes.

This post is specifically for those of you folks who are online image/graphics hobbyists - makers of tubes, signature tags, websets, members of the groups for PSP and other image/graphics groups. If you don't know what that means or what the heck I'm talking about, lol, - just ignore the rest of this entry, hehe.

I have a "No-no"/'Hands Off!" policy when it comes to my images the only way I allow people to use my images for fun (no profit) is through companies that specialize in these areas. So the other day I signed on with Mystical Scraps for you guys to use. Please follow the rules and have fun. These are licensed images.

Mystical Scraps is a fabulous company that creates tubes from artists' works they have officially licensed, and they create packs/single images of tubed art for purchase for online tag hobbyists. The tubes may be bought for a small, onetime fee, and downloaded directly from their site. Once purchased, you have lifetime permission so long as you follow their terms and don't use the art for profit. This is the ONLY usage I allow of my artwork for tubes, tags, and other alterations. I have 1 image up so far Abigail and more to come soon Click below to see:  

Creepie Cuties on Mystical Scraps

It Begins...

I can't believe it, the count down begins, Creepie Ellie starts exactly 50 days from today October 2nd. The time is sure flying by and I have tons to do still, and in such short amount of time to do it all in.

I have to still create the comics, can you believe I haven't even started this one yet. I finally have at least 3 narrowed down and going to start working on those tonight after dinner. I have to come up with a layout for the website and work on that and work on more comics. There is other stuff to do but I am forgetting what is all need to be done at the moment =/

Just thought I would stop by and say I'm still here just really, really busy. I also have to do a Creepie Cutie image for this week but I think Ellie has to come first so I won't get behind =D

Moon Fairy!

Oh boy this new digital painting of my Moon Fairy is so cute and of course has a touch of creepieness to it (yes I know that is not how you spell creepiness, but in my world it does) See I can do that since it's my world =D

I'm done stalling here is the new Moon Fairy

Like I said in the last post, my old Moon Fairy is still my most popular image to date, and I wanted to upgrade it to see how far I have come. Here is a side by side comparison the old Moon Fairy was done in July of 2010 and of course the new Moon Fairy was just done this week/today. (Yes I know they are not the same image but it is the same concept)

It just goes to show you if you have a dream keep at it ;)

I know some of you guys that read this blog are from storybird, I just want to let you know I tried uploading it but it seems they are having difficulties. I wrote them to find out how to resolve this issue but it also seems they are going to go down for a couple of hours tonight. Either way as soon as I can find out what is wrong I will upload it for you guys =D

Back Problems

I did it again! I hurt my back Sunday morning doing yard work. I knew doing chores will eventually kill you hehehe. But it does look and feel like I am on the mends so that is good. Still going to take it easy for a couple more days though.

Before I injured my back I did manage to get started on a new digital painting and I am finishing her up now, but I wanted to show you a work in progress shot of her before I do finish her. All that is left is the background.

One of my most popular paintings I have done so far is called Moon Fairy so I thought since I am a much better artist now why not revisit it.

So here is a work in progress shot of my latest Moon Fairy

I should have her done sometime today if my back allows me to anyways.
