Eliza process

of course, I forgot to take a photo of the linework. OH WELL. Eliza is a character of Bittermause who does this great webcomic: The Shufflers.

Nautilus print process

Step by step of my new print :) Soon will be added to the shop.

Did two colour versions of this picture - I couldn't decide which colour scheme would be better so just did both :P This is some bumbling around a comic project which I am half-working on ;)

Happy New Year!

I hope you all got to party wild like rice ;)

No Fixed Abode

This year I had three pieces accepted into Edinburgh Printmakers members exhibition. The subject was a very difficult one, as it was to raise awareness of homelessness. I did three fairly small prints for it, using one of my favourite techniques - photoetching. From start I knew I didn't want them to be too literal.

10 Griffin

This creature kind of makes me want to play Heroes of Might and Magic 3 ;)

It's in the coat of arms of the region of Poland I am from, and now that I looked it up I feel like my attempt at a griffin does not do it justice...

Haha I might actually re-do it at some point...

9/52 KRAKEN!

Kraken is one of my fave creatures ever. I have a soft spot for cephalopods, and the fantastically gigantic one is just so fab! :) One can argue they really exist - well, they do, but I don't think one large enough to drown a ship was ever spotted.

3/52 Jackalope

So here's number three! :) A mythical creature and fairly recent one in a sense, as people still believed they are about only few hundred years ago. All because of some grotesque bunny virus. This specimen has antlers much like reindeer.

I have been experimenting a fair bit with the coloring of these and switching between Photoshop and Manga Studio. I dont think I have found a good way to color these linear drawings but hopefully will get there soon.

This also happens to be my 200th post... I'd say time flies but actually it took quite a while to get there. Can I get to 300 this year? Maybe. Who knows ;)

Here we go then! :) This is the first one, of a bunch of rusałkas - they are slavic creatures that live in the forests, near lakes and streams. They are beautiful, have green hair and will dance you to death. In Poland there is a holiday called "Zielone Świątki" (Green Holidays). It is one of those holidays that have been celebrated by pagan ancestors before catholicism appeared - and originally celebrated these creatures. People would put up feasts for them and dance around bonfires (and apparentely some people sitll do). Currently officially it's Pentecost, a holiday which I personally never really understood. In Poland most people will call it Zielone Świątki.

Watch this space! I will try to update on Mondays :)

First picture of 2014

Happy New Year!!!

So this is the first picture I drew this year!

I hope the year is not going to be all like the 1st, as the rain is pouring out there! On the other hand I am cosy next to a real fire, drawing and chilling. I guess it could be worse :)

My main plan for this year is that I want to do a similar thing to 365 trees... But one a week. Theme is yet to be decided, but I think it will start by Sunday ;)
