Sketch 72 - Lost In Your Eyes

Feels good to draw on my tablet again. Been having fun with Kayla and her fiance Cory. The princess party for my niece's 4th birthday party was actually a lot of fun. I did a lot of  face painting and the kids were so cute in their big poofy dresses and bows.

Friday night/Saturday morning I had to go to the hospital again from over exertion at the 2012 Magic the Gathering draft tournament. I got alittle more excited then I should have over some cards I got and had to go because I was in so much pain. Turns out I have a severe bladder infection which can and probably will prevent my surgery on the 20th from happening. Ive been waiting a long time for this surgery and I really don't want to be in pain anymore. It hurts to get up in the morning.

Tomorrow I go to the doctor and get tested again for the infection. Hoping all is good. If not I really hate these pills I am on. The antibiotics I got are apparently so strong that I cannot go outside in the sun for a lengthy period of time while on them. It increases the chance of getting a sunburn. I get so dizzy and nauseous from them as well. So i should get to bed because I will need a shower in the morning. It is very humid here and we are not used to it! Sweating like crazy.

Goodnight world! Love ya <3

Sketch 46 - Sophie

Its funny how this character came to be. I received an anthro commission and Rich and I were talking about the art form and how you hardly ever see a reptilian or dragon anthro so I decided to give it a shot and thats how Sophie was created! Now I'm gonna ask everyone out there what colors she should be!

Went for my blood work today. 6 vials of blood for like 12 tests uhhg. lol. I don't hate needles but I hate the feeling of my blood leaving my body through a needle. Apparently it happens a bit. I am posting early tonight because I will be hanging out with Alex again tonight before he leaves for British Columbia again. And I would like to have a drink or two without having to worry about driving home. So I will be off to work then a good night.

Love ya <3

P.S. I have a deal going on for my CG commissions. Send me an email (mrstwig2963@aol.com) or FB message or twitter message if your interested! I am only opening 5 spots with one already taken.

Sketch 27 - Right On the Mark

This is the new concept for Nynde. This one took longer to plan out then Purtalic's. Had to put a bit more thought into this one because of her childhood she is in battle a lot as an archer. Plus I was trying to go for more coverage and functionality. Also for her being half demon and dragon-ling I decided to give her red eyes like her father. I think it suits her better.

Today has been an odd day. Got up, did about 2 hours of dishes, then worked on art, then volunteer appreciation dinner and then home to finish sketch and relax. So soon will be the relax part I hope lol. It's been a long day! Tomorrow Im gonna try the Zumba class at my gym. Looks interesting. Well gonna keep this one short. Goodnight world! Love ya <3

Sketch 19 - 12 Going On 21

Entali Steelblade aka. Tali. The 12-year-old sister of Damien who's mental state is that of a 21 year old. Because of her mentality,  she's very logical and has no idea how to act her age. She is a black dragon-ling and because of her rarity her brother likes to keep her hidden and protected.

Not too sure about Tali. She's not a productive character in the story but important none-the-less. I've always wanted to draw her though and I'll admit I had a lot of fun drawing that outfit. Sadly not much else to say about this character since her creator barely talks to me.

Today I finally got my BigBang CD. Not impressed with how the items actually arrived. The poster is worse for wear and the CD case was dirty. Oh well I still love it. As well at the gym today I was weighed and found out I have neither gained nor lost any weight, however I have gone down in inches and my body fat percentage. Go me!

Get to see my cousin tomorrow which should brighten my smile. His silly antics always make me laugh. It is April fools day and I have not done any pranks today...so ashamed. But I did celebrate Sakura Kinomoto's birthday with eating a strawberry.

I guess today's will be a short one. Goodnight World ~ love you <3

Sketch 13 - Grey Belt

Kohaku Shinrai. The only known grey dragon-ling to exist. Because of his mixed blood, his childhood was tormented with slavery and abuse from which he met Damein. Damein, an assassin born of black took him as a partner and turned him into the fighting spirit he is today. Kohaku goes on to fall in love with the ruling princess of the north.

Ah Kohaku. Another of my favorite characters to draw at least. MBJ and I worked on Damein and Kohaku's back story quite a bit. He probably has some of the most personality work I have done on any of my characters which is surprising since he is a secondary character. For those that don't know what a dragon-ling is, its a dragon who can take on the persona of an elf. In the world MBJ and I created they are considered a higher being. Why would a dragon need to become an elf? Well considering their size, it is hard for dragons to enter buildings and socialize with other races. This would have been an evolutionary step to help the race from dying out.

Upon request I will start typing out the story in my free-free time because in my free time I'm working haha. I should be heading to work right now but it feels good to just stay here. Ahhh nice day at home.

Love you all <3

Have to get up early. Goodnight world!

Sketch 6 - Hold Me Goodnight

No color post today as it was a VERY long day. I had a request to do a dragon. I used to be good at dragons... not as good as MBJ but they weren't too shabby. However I kinda just went with the flow and an elf showed up there and yeah... thats what came out! Dragon looks horrible elf is got wonky proportions but hey its a 'sketch' blog. I love dragons and elves and fantasy stuff. Its amazing to think if this stuff really is real, hidden among the drabs of our reality. That's what I love about imagination. What's the say that WE are the fantasy to these mystical beings and creatures? Alternate universes, multiplications of galaxy's with life that we will never see! I swear I'm not crazy and I am proud to still have an open mind and an active imagination.

I tested the tattoo machines I bought today. The rotary machines are a lot quieter to the normal ones. So I hope it will help with some customers who are a little tensed after hearing the machine start up. Also I went to go get contacts and my eye prescription renewed only to find out the doctor is only in on Wednesday. Seriously....one day a week? How do they stay in business?On another note ... my separated husband and I will have our 3 year wedding anniversary tomorrow.... weird timbit for you.

Ah sugar.... timbits... uhhhg *drool* how I miss thee~ My trainer started me on a no sugar diet... it sucks and for those not in Canada, Timbits are doughnut balls made from the holes in doughnuts and are from the Canadian coffee chain Tim Hortons. But enough about my day! Good night world! Still looking for sketch ideas!
