MLUND ARTWORK

I am a Sequential Artist and Illustrator in the Making

Entry Number 8 in The Waters and the Wild.

Swamp Bride. This one inspired by the plants on swamps or shores of lakes, the lichen, the moss, the floating pads and tall grass.

[mlundart]

Entry Number 7 of The Waters and the Wild series.

The Bridge Keeper. This one is based on a picture hanging in one of the classrooms of the previous school I worked at.

I mean, you would totally trust that guy, right?

Entry Number 6 of my The Waters and the Wild series.

A Feast of Starlight. Inspired by Brian Froud creatures, and based off of a blurry picture I took New Years eve in Mexico City, ha haa.

I made these as a goodbye present for my BTS loving housemates. They shared their love with me and the three of us would watch the episodes of Are You Sure? as they were coming out, ordering delicious take-out. I miss those nights!

Mysterious Lotus Casebook: the Wedding Dress episode!

Alternate events to the Wedding Dress shenanigans in episode 12, hahaa!

Yes, the subtitle is a Futurama quote :P

[mlundart]

Gender Bend Meet You at the Blossom!

So I was picturing if there was a woman version of Meet You at the Blossom, then a spoiled and spirited heiress would fall in love with an "Elf Lord" in the woods, only to discover (in a rather, shall we say, "heated" moment :P ) he is actually a she. Yes, it's that scene from the riverbank :D

An alternate ending to episode 8 of the Thai series Peaceful Property on Sale!

Note! I drew this before I saw what actually happens in episode 8, it's how I coped with the cliffhanger at the end of episode 7, ha ha haa!

[mlundart]

Yet another silly alternate ending to Mysterious Lotus Casebook cuz . . . I'm not over it, ha ha!

Enjoy!

Loved loved loved Mysterious Lotus Casebook, and that epilogue still haunts me. I feel very torn about it.

So here's a stupid fix-it that came to mind during one of my re-watches :P

[mlundart]

Tolkien was inspired to create the beautiful Luthien Tinuviel when he saw his wife, Edith, dancing in a glen. He took something real and of the everyday, and made it mythical and ethereal. Both, the everyday and the fantastical, beautiful in their own realities.

Because of adjusting to a job with ridiculously long hours and just draining energy overall, I've really fallen behind with my art. However, lately I've tried carving a space for it over the weekends so I'm finally finishing pieces I've neglected for far too long.

This one is a bit of a weird one, but bear with me. I set myself the challenge to imitate the black and white art style of Wendy Pini for her Elfquest series from the 70s, but using Chaneques instead of Elves. For those who don't know, Chaneques are fairy/goblin like creatures in Mexican mythology, who are said to have the faces of old men, bowed legs and their feet are on backwards. They are tricksters towards humans but preservers of the natural world, and they feed off of energy (or life force).

The original intention of this challenge to myself was to simplify! I always take too long with my environments, I wanted to imitate a "deceptively" simpler style so I'd go faster . . . the end result was me going "Sure, I can spend 45 minutes to an hour drawing leaves from a tree native to Tepoztlan in the foreground".

Soooo . . . I failed, ha haa.

But I loved getting to draw coatis and cacomixtles as fae familiars. Also, I based the setting on a picture from one of my hikes with my brother and nephie.

For some reason while I was picturing what a new Avengers movie would look like with all these young 'uns, I couldn't help but get flashbacks to being a high school teacher and having to chaperone field trips :P

Note: I know we're mad at the state of the MCU right now, this is me finding some joy in it :D

Recently re-watched GUARDIAN and I kept quoting the Emmanuel the Emu videos every time ZYL wanted to touch the Hallows and Shen Wei stopped him, hahaa!

For those who don't know Emmanuel the Emu, here he is: https://youtu.be/d22r99JPg_M

[mlundart]

My friend and I recently re-watched GUARDIAN and we came up with this joke. I never quite got why Shen Wei never told ZYL Ye Zun was his brother :P

PS: The "sound of my walls going back up" is a Daffy Duck line from The Looney Tunes Show, I couldn't resist :D

[mlundart]

From my blog, a retelling of the time I met Stephen frickin' Fry :D and our shared love for Oscar Wilde :)

Wilde and Fry

Strangers in Your Life, Story 11: brief encounter with a celebrity and the years leading up to it.

[mlundart]

Fae inspired creatures: this time taking inspiration from Akira Kurosawa’s first segment from his film Dreams (1990), and a bit of Ghibli environment inspiration. The Kitsune are fox spirits, who can often take human form, and though they’re usually depicted as tricksters, they also have similarities to the Irish Fae folk. So here is a Kitsune father and son still experiencing strange wonders deep in the woods.

Button Imp.

Traditional ink with digital shading.
