Beach With Floating Islands

 

Hmm, for some reason I never got around to posting the color version of this painting.  Maybe because the floating islands don't really have a shadow?  Anyway its good enough so here it is!  :)

Coastline With Floating Islands

 Looks like a peaceful sort of place.

More Floating Islands

 More floating islands, with a little guy and a cabin.  I kind of messed up on wind direction because the smoke from the cabin seems to be rising straight up and the vines are hanging straight down while the clouds are blowing one way and the waterfalls are blowing another.  But its still a nice picture.

I sketched some chickens on post-it notes as references for the chickens that are wandering around on the island, since I'm not very good at just winging it.  That went well.  Drawing preparatory sketches is always a good idea and I might do more of that in the future.

Floating Islands And Caves

 Well, the islands are floating anyway.  I don't have any floating caves in this particular drawing, that would be interesting. :)

I really gotta color this.

Forest Interior

 

Here's a little woodland scene I drew.  Needless to say a color version is on the way, it may take me a while though.

Ruined Castle

Its also available as a print, (and other stuff), on Society6!

I am immensely proud of this one! :)

You see there in the lower right corner where I signed it?  I signed it with my micron pen when I finished the outline drawing last year, and I had to paint in the year with watercolors when I finished coloring it in just today.  So I do finish projects it just takes me a while.

So I've been messing around with watercolors lately, and this is my first attempt that actually turned out.  I've been playing around with watercolors lately in the vain hope that the increased evaporative quality of the water, will compete with my tendency to totally obliterate the paper.  The colors have more variety in them than I could reduplicate on purpose, being reconstituted accretions of previous experiments.
