I made this illustration to re-imagine the Greek Myth of Daphne and Apollo.

Here, Daphne has transformed into a laurel tree and lured Apollo to her, impaling him upon her branches once he is close enough, so that his body may feed the forest.

"The Silent Princess ""

7 years ago, Zelda BOTW dropped, and I was enchanted. Grew up playing Zelda Games, and still return to them regularly, they always bring comfort. I love Princess Zelda in these last two games <3

"Small and Anxious"... And full of screams.

“Our Lady of New Frontiers, Nichelle Nichols”

My last painting of 2022, and I wanted it to be a painting carrying me into the new year, a tribute to an amazing and inspirational woman.

Star Trek has been a show I have watched since I was a wee one. I started with TNG as a child, but when I finally watched TOS in college, its impact was undeniable, both today and especially during the time it aired.

Although the famous speech says “final frontier”, Nichelle Nichols was a woman leading the way onto new frontiers, a beacon of hope, resilience and possibility. So that is what I wish to carry with me into the new year.

"Infections of a Different Kind"

Trying to fill the void that will now be in my heart Sunday evenings. I truly loved "The Last of Us", and Bella Ramsey as Ellie was perfection. I look forward to whenever they make the next season.

Apparently, I am still not over "The English" so I did another study of Eli. 8 hours on Procreate, quite happy with the progress I am making with my portrait work on the iPad.

I'm making up some more process/step-by-step posts for some of these studies to share. I am thinking also of getting my patreon/ko-fi properly set up to have more in-depth posts about my process, if folks would be interested in such a thing.

Horsies!

Did these 2 studies of horses from photos, 40 minutes each, entirely digital on Procreate.

So buying a magnetic paper-like screen protector has been a big game changer for me for my art output, for now I can draw on the iPad and it feels just like drawing traditionally. It's also allowing me to try different "traditional-like" techniques since I can do all the pencil/line-work digitally, and fast.

"In-Laws!"

One of my favourite movies is Addam's Family Values, with the iconic Joan Cusack as Debbie Jelinsky. I just love everything about this villain, and often quote her speech at the end about wanting a Ballerina Barbie for Christmas.

So I finally sat down and watched "The English" and good lord did I love it, a truly beautiful mini series. Chaske Spencer's performance as Eli is wonderful, I think he deserves all the awards and all the roles.

"Woken Rudely From His Nap"

1 hour digital study of Mister Butt (aka Grendel), from a photo my roommate tried to take of this little Beanbag while he was sleeping. But he always knows when the camera is on him.
