Madonna and Child Painting- WIP

Hello all!
This update is about a painting that I had in my head and have finally started today. It is the robot of Sara Winters, and a robot baby, posing like the many "Madonna and Child" paintings (I've seen so many in my Survey of Western Art II class that they stuck in my head). This will accompany my Clockwork Queen comic, maybe as back cover. One day.



I haven't gotten to do a lot of work on the comic itself so it's nice to be able to work on this. School has been taking over my weekends. But I did get some new comic book paper (manga paper actually) but I really like working with it so I'm hoping to at least get some layout pages done. It's smaller than the usual 11x17 inches, this stuff is A4 sized. I prefer working on a smaller scale. So hopefully I'll have some pages done by the end of the quarter, but I'm not totally counting on it. Unfortunately school comes first then fun art. I'm trying to get all A's this quarter, and the next (I managed to snag all sequential classes! so happy!) so I can get into the honors program at VCU when I transfer next fall. Ugghh *dies*

A picture update

A new Clockwork Queen sketch!


I thought it would be funny to show Mick trying to show Samantha his affections for her. His face looks really sincere, and she looks more angry than she really is. This idea popped into my head when I saw sketch #5 of Brichan's character meme: http://bri-chan.deviantart.com/art/character-meme-reginald-74849226 Check out her DA site while you're there, she does the cutest Alice in Wonderland fan art XD

School has been really busy but I'm trying to squeeze in more work on the comic whenever I can. I love drawing and writing it so I'm not quitting. I'm also cooking up plans for a Samantha cosplay for when I take the mini comics to cons. I can't wait. :D I'll post links for costuming ideas too when I find some.

Stay steamy!

Age of Progress

So today in my spare time I started the first page for the first chapter of Clockwork Queen. It's a few scenes that happen before the mini comic began so I'm not restarting, but I might redo some of the mini comic pages. Especially after my life drawing class. Some of the characters just looked way too flat to me, so with improvements in skill come improvements in work. I'll try to at least post some WIP photos of pages, and a watercolor picture of Millie. I'm also working on watercolor portraits of each of the characters for CWQ. I love my cheap $2 Crayola watercolors <3

More to come soon!

Updates

After a long drought, I bring you some news!
Worry not, the lack of updating on here does not reflect my actual work for Clockwork Queen. Now that the holidays have settled down I have gone on a writing spree and more story has been developed. I am a happy girl :) I've got a few art updates at Deviantart of characters from a steampunk story I'm working on with a dear friend. It takes place in the same world as Clockwork Queen and there might be a cross over some time in the future? We'll see ;) Gotta get these stories done first!

Here are my pictures for the curious at heart:

The Plan for this break

I'M GOING HOME TOMORROW! I've been feeling a mix of excitement and tieredness. All the work I've been doing is finally getting to me. My back has been killing me and I get randomly tired at different times, tired enough for naps. I feel like such an old lady. But I'm looking forward to being able to draw for myself now. I plan on doing more work for clockwork queen, and the steampunk story that Ian and I are calaborating on.
I'm also looking forward to making presents and fancy christmas cards and cookies for my loved ones. I plan on keeping the creativeness flowing rather than just vegitating infront of the computer. I also want to sew myself a nice black lolita skirt during the break to bring back to SCAD. Hopefully I can get some fabric at Joeanna's since Wallmart has had nothing I like -_-
I'm also considering getting a DA subscription. Maybe during the summer when I have job ^^ Then I can update it during school when I have stuff to post. Speaking of school... I have just completed my frist year at SCAD! I'm so happy, and full of feelings of accomplishment I am a sophmore now!
well, here's a toast to being tired, over worked, under SCAD's thumb, and going home. HUZZAH

REPO: The Genetic Opera

I WANT TO SEE THIS SO BAD!!!

New Doll + school work

I decided to change the doll for this month. I made one of my new steampunk character "Layla Von Gedge". She's a genuis. <3
I'm still working on her so I'll post sketches when she's more developed and fleshed out.

Today I will be working on finishing the pencils for my storyboards (Children of Man), and doing some more pages for the Clockwork Queen mini comic.

off to work...
