The Snail Conquers The Fett lineart. So, I drew a snail. Not sure how I arrived at drawing Boba Fett’s helmet, but you know. Star Wars is never a bad reason.

A #Morganville painting of Shane (Jordan Farris) & Claire (Lindsay Seidel) of Morganville Vampires series! Next up, Michael & Eve (already sketched)!

Not my best, sorry guys! Having an off week!

#Myrnin drawing of Chase Jeffrey from Morganville Vampires books (being made into a web TV series) by Rachel Caine! I love drawing Myrnin normally, but yay to having a face to inspire it even more now! Chase definitely looks the part of my favourite crazy, scientist vamp!

Tonight I threw out a request for people to give me a person to sketch in 15minutes.  I got 5 requests that I completed, but this one was my favourite! Oddly enough I thought he would be the hardest, and he definitely needs longer than 15mins to capture the details, but I’m pretty happy with this for a quickie! You can see the others on my Facebook Page in the Speedpaints album.

Also 2 progress shots snapped 7 mins apart.

Never tell me the odds! An #IndySolo art mashup! This was fun to do! Huge thanks to my hubby for suggesting doing some #IndySolo art! <3

'Never tell me the odds!' Star Wars x Indiana Jones mashup work in progress! More lines to put down, & may or may not dress him as Han instead of Indy. Yet to be decided!

Artists block = #Sydrian sketch. Sad feels in this one!

I’m very excited to be doing a painting requested by the very amazing author Will Kostakis.  This piece is based on a favourite character, Sticks, from his second novel - The First Third.  

If you haven’t read it, I really recommend you pick it up! I devoured it the first time around & really enjoyed my second time reading it, ‘cause, AWESOME! 

WIPs —>  here  & here

Lineart of Sticks from Will Kostakis’ novel #TheFirstThird 

Why is he wearing snorkel gear & arm floaties? 'Cause I love that first impression of Sticks when he is introduced to us!

The 'adventure memorabilia' was also a part of Sticks' introduction, & I liked that fun quirk of his personality. I too have come home from a drunken escapade suddenly in possession of a traffic cone.

The couple kissing - Sticks & Joel - 'cause I never can resist drawing a kiss!

Anyways, I think this will be the composition, but I reserve the right to change my mind tomorrow! {{;o)

This is just a very, very rough sketch to play around with composition & content ideas so I can go sleep on it & look @ it fresh in the morning!

Also, researching gnomes - SUPER CREEPY! 

ALSO, there’s more for the sketch that I didn’t include, because SPOILERS!

#Nerdfighter art nouveau poster finished! Phew - stressing over the colour scheme of this for days! Turned out to be prettier colours than the bolder ones in my work-in-progress.  Still not 100% sure on the DFTBA banner colours, but this is taking over my life & I just gotta move on! hehe

Hope you all like it okay! <3 Cheers, Jem {{:o)

Playing with some far out colours for my #Nerdfighter art nouveau poster. Still deciding if I’ll continue with these or go another palette!

That’s all for now - off to Melbourne tomorrow for the weekend so probably no art updates until next week unless I can get a sneaky few sketches done! 

Have a great weekend everyone! <3

Finally done with my #Nerdfighter art nouveau poster line art! #DFTBA Now for the colours!

Nerdfighter poster progress! SHE HAS NO MOUTH & NO FEET!

Don’t Panic! 

I have decided to draw her poking out her tongue, but it’s now 11:07pm & I don’t think I have it in me to do this tonight. So, until tomorrow my lovelies, and Don’t Forget To Be AWESOME!
