And I had an absolute blast! Not only at AnimeExpo, but just spending time with my friend Kelly and enjoying a good long break from work. I nearly sold out in the AX Art Show and met a lot of artists from DA that I really admire. You guys are all so nice! It was really a pleasure. ^__^ My costume worked out wonderfully, too. The LACC was so HUGE! I wore myself out repeatedly just browsing from one place to another, meeting people, drooling over things I couldn't afford, buying as much loot as I could, MEETING PETER S. BEAGLE AND SHAKING HIS HAND *faints*, taking pictures, watching anime and movies and catching up on games. Aside from the Masquerade being a little too short, I have no complaints whatsoever! Except for the horrible smog that lurks over LA... I have plenty of photos, as promised, and will upload some of them as soon as I can.
And now, back to the chaos that is my work schedule. I'm sorry for the long delay in answering messages---I'm working on that now! But it might take a few days. @__@;; I also somehow managed to get sick over the weekend, but I'm feeling much better back in the clean mountain air. Well, relatively clean, anyway, with all the smoke from the wildfires. Commissions are still closed! |

AnimeExpo, here I come!

Woot, leaving on my trip to Southern California now! Anime-Expo is coming up so fast and there's still much to do beforehand, but I'm getting excited! My costume is 99% done, and I'll fiddle with final adjustments when I actually get down there and settled. I'll be showing/selling both matted and framed artwork in AX Art Show and Auction. "Royalty: Diana and Luke" is beautifully framed together as a set, and the "Fire and Water" print set has been custom-matted together as well. Stop by for a look if you're interested! ^__^;;
I won't be home until the second week or so of July, so I apologize in advance for the delay in answering e-mails and messages! I will also be unable to fill any print/card/book orders during this time. Thanks to everyone for your patience and support, and I hope to see some of you at AX! *runs to finish packing*

My prayers are with everyone affected by the storms and insane flooding this past month...

"Cherish" won an award for best black and white piece at the CONduit art show this year! It was completely unexpected...I am so honored. ^__^

Sorry for the absence lately! I've had my hands really full working on commissions and several art projects and trades, as well as finishing my costume for AnimeExpo and getting prints matted and ready for several more convention shows this June through September. So much still to do, but it's a nice sort of busy. Chaotic, but nice. Commissions are closed until further notice!
And the "As-yet-untitled" artbook project now has a title! Two of them, actually, because it's going to be a bit unusual for an artbook. It's going to be two books in one, with two titles and two covers that share the same pages and fight to the middle from opposite ends...but that's all I'm going to explain for now. XD Originally it was only going to feature Faeren and his Forest, but Morgan has gradually nosed his way into it over the past couple months. More details to come when I have an estimated release date! |

Faeren costume progress & photos

Finally got some photos together of my Faeren costume in progress! The shirt and cloak aren't quite finished yet, but everything is finally starting to come together. Changes and adjustments will still be made, and I plan to add some leaves and moss and other nature frills, but that's the easy part. :) Costume based mainly on this pic.
Got the shirt and collar, pants, cloak fabric, belt, bracers, boots, ears, and a bit of the wig in this shot.
Tunic commissioned from the amazingly talented Nolwen! Click on the image for a larger version. She did such a gorgeous job with it, even down to the stitching! And she does a cute job modelling it, too. ^__^
Better shot of the boots, black suede slouch style, fold-over cuffs and ties in the back. Gah, I love these things!
A different shot of the bracers, this time with the purple jewels I added. Got the bracers themselves from "The Inner Bailey". I definitely recommend them if you're looking for anything similar! They are very sweet and friendly people and the quality of their leather work is amazing.
A couple shots of the wig in different lighting. It turned out so cute...I had a lot of fun styling it. Especially the cowlick curl on the top! XD
A closer shot of the pointy ears and a little handmade butterfly, hee. Got the ears from here.
Still working on the cloak pin/brooch of Faeren's symbol. Failed a couple tries, but I'm almost done! Craft foam for the pattern, Sculpey clay and silver paint/glaze for the pin.
And last but not least, the gorgeous silver and purple butterfly chain I got for Faeren's belt. I fell in love with this thing the moment I saw it...the blurry photo doesn't do it justice at all. I have funny hands... XD
Whee~ |

I just realized that I haven't updated the news here since January, but rest assured that I'm not dead, just very busy! ^__^;; I tend to update more frequently on my DeviantArt page if you want to keep better tabs on my projects.
Progress on my Faeren costume is going well, if a little slow (see previous news post for details.) After wrestling with our new sewing machine and taking some lessons from a good friend, I'm slowly starting to understand how it all works. Despite work, commissions, and catching a cold for a week, I've been able to find enough time to devote to it. The undershirt for his tunic is half done now, as is the cloak. Finding decent purple fabric was the hardest part of this entire project! I'm using sculpey clay and craft foam (and silver paint and glaze) to make the cloak brooch design. The pants, boots, belt, bracers, pointy ears and other assorted things I've been able to buy, alter, or commission from others, and I'll post photos and links when I have everything better assembled. :)
