A is for Aria

Aria D’Opera, from Gradients

Ah, good ol’ Aria. I mentioned in my previous post that I would be doing more illustrations projects. I started this last year, but I couldn’t show it until now. I’m working on an alphabet series with all my characters, with some extra details that I hope you appreciate.

So here’s A, Aria, with an Azalea for the letter because Azaeleas mean Patience and Fragility (I know, I know, not very Aria-like) but are also the symbol for women in China so… Aria.

You can get to know her both in Gradients, every Tuesday in Tapas, and in the special patreon strips at just $1.00 dlls a month in Patreon every Friday.

Onwards 2019

As the year begins, I thought I’d give you a run down of what I am working on, comic – wise (the other projects, that are illustration only, will come later I think)

Sugar Skull Calani

Last week I shared Blaze, now I am sharing Calani with her Sugar Skull make up.

Funny thing about Calani: I kind of had issues with her because I used to hate color green. I just couldn’t find a way to make it look pretty to me. Now a days, she and Dew are two of my favorite girls to draw because of their colors.  So I hope you like them as much as I liked drawing and coloring them. (Dew will come out next week 😉 )

Criminal Minds

I love Criminal Minds. Next to Law and Order SVU is my favorite crime procedural, and unlike Law and Order SVU, I still have most of my favorite characters on the show.

So I was really, really happy when they won the weekly poll. Sure, I went for the classics (minus Gideon), but you can’t blame me. They’re all iconic.

Horsemen of the Apocalypse Art Noveau

The Horsemen of the Apocalypse, older siblings of Dad in Writer’s Block, have quickly become my favorite characters: From long suffering Mahlon, to apparent eternally cheerful Carmen, from zen-like Thana to coffee-maniac Janna, I adore them all. It’s a pity we rarely see them in their work clothes (especially Mahlon as he looks really cool), but in exchange, here are these illustrations I made for double sided bookmarks last year. Hope to finish the whole family set this year.

Dream Keeper Robin Masquerade Ball

Last week, as part of my daily drawing challenge, I decided to do some portraits of the Dream Keeper Robin cast in a Masquerade Ball, to practice more their personalities. And after 10 days, here is the whole set:

Robin really enjoyed the first modeling session.

Zander looks great in his moon mask.

Alex is gorgeous in her sun mask

Gavin missed his beak when in human form, so he got a replacement.

Blaze looks fiery, as always.

Calani is a joy to draw every time.

Dew is always fun

Erin is always dreamy.

Orion doesn’t quite get the idea of a masquerade ball…

And Robin really didn’t enjoy the second modeling session, no.
