My Artwork

*  *  *

It's been a while since I did an art post, and I figured now was as good a time as any to share some of my artwork with you.  :D

*  *  *

This is a dragon drawn during church many years ago.  It was one of the first dragons I drew that actually turned out looking nice.  I can't remember exactly what inspired this, but it was done in about an hour and a half.





 This drawing has an interesting story.  I was volunteering at Vacation Bible School at our church.  I wound up in the art section, helping small children cut out shapes and glue stuff together.  :)  One day, my group of kids had their project pretty well handled, so I got bored and started doodling on a paper towel.  A half-hour later, I finished this drawing of Legolas, looking sassy.  





 This is concept art for an animated musical that I will never write.  It was meant to be the story of Hades and Persephone, re-written to be a romantic story.  Instead of Hades abducting Persephone and forcing her to be his wife, they would be star-crossed lovers running away to escape the tyrannical hand of Demeter.  Hades and Zeus's relationship would be roughly similar to Thor and Loki's relationship, except that Hades would be a lot nicer than Loki.
This is Persephone during her first solo, and also during the scene where Hades first lays eyes on her.



 This is a poorly done self-portrait.  I can never get myself quite right.



 This is a fanfiction character I was developing for Slug Terra, a kid' TV show.  (Yes, I'm an adult and I still watch children's shows.  It's fun.)  I never did develop her fully, but this picture turned out pretty cool. :)



Fan art for Harry Potter (which I intend to review soon).   I figure this drawing would be during his fifth or sixth year.  I'm not sure which yet. 



This is a fanfiction character for the Harry Potter series.  Erida Locksley was a Ravenclaw a few years older than Harry, (around Fred and George's age) though she came to Hogwarts late.  She was born with the rare abilities of a Perceptor- that is, Wizards with the ability to absorb memories of other humans through eye-contact, and discern the nature of objects through touch.  Her adventures rarely corresponded with Harry's.  She mostly worked on her own as an agent of Dumbledore.  Most of her younger years were spent trying to keep her abilities a secret from the rest of the school for fear they would shun her.  
I've never actually written down any of her stories, and I'm not sure if I ever will.  Perhaps someday if I'm bored.  :)



Thor and Loki as teenagers, playing chess as Frigga looks on.  It was only after I finished this that I realized I'd drawn the chess board with one too many rows, so the board is uncommonly long.   I guess it must be some form of Asgardian Chess. *shrug*

Hope you enjoyed it!  Let me know which one is your favorite.  :D

  1. They're all fun! I really like your self-portrait though. They're really hard, and you did a good job! :)

    1. Thanks! :D I'm glad you think so. I always seem to make my eyes too far apart, my nose always ends up looking funny. But I still really like the picture, and it was fun to do.

  2. That's a nice self portrait, actually. I always like to cartoon-ify myself, makes it easy.
    I have to say I like the Slug Terra one. I like the idea of a sci-fi faerie story, as this one seems to be. Is it? Can't say I've heard of the show before.

  3. Thanks! I've done cartoon versions of myself as well. I should post some of those some time. :D

    Slug Terra is about fifteen-year-old Eli Shane, who travels to a world deep beneath the surface of the earth. There, Slug Terra's strange inhabitants defend themselves with blaster canons loaded with loyal and intelligent morphing-slugs, who transform into super-powered creatures when they reach the speed of 100 mph. The boy sets out on a quest with his new friends to become a true Shane, a guardian of Slug Terra, as they combat the evil Dr. Black.
    It's sort of like Pokemon, but much more wholesome. It's mostly an action-oriented kid's show, but the characters and story line are compelling. :)

  5. I love Harry Potter! That drawing of him was simply superb, as was the dragon picture.
