The good news is that I sold three pieces of art to the new online magazine Mermaids Monthly!! Yay!! So go check it out for lots of mermaid- well, ALL mermaid short stories, poetry and art. My work will be appearing in it at some point! ONE will be the cover!!! I’m so surprised by that! I submitted three pen and ink pieces I did in 2015 which I am still proud of. I did a series of goth mermaids- some of you might remember them from Facebook. I only posted photos I took of the art because I was in the process of moving and my scanner was unplugged. But now you can see three of them in all their 300 dpi glory online!
And speaking of mermaids, here are some more fugly progress shots. I am working on getting in some highlights and shadows which I am going to do in purple. Unless it turns out terrible. But so far it seems fine.
And I finally dropped a loaded paint brush on the carpet… le sigh… It cleaned up pretty well, but OMG, I hate carpet. Anyway, the background is getting more blue blobs. But I like it. But, I’m getting tired of the illustration board buckling. So I might buy some smaller wooden boards to paint on. I have a 4-pack of 9x12 but that’s too big to fit in my scanner. Ooof, I hope I can get the green skin to look good.
Pics of my doll Eisheth! She’s one of my favorite hybrids. She’s a Volks Pearl head on a Dollmore Glamour Model body with Dollmore boy long nailed hands. I do have more than a few complaints about her. The Dollmore body is bananas, the joints flop all over the place. I decided that once the pandemic is over I am going to WIRE a bunch of my dolls! I am going to go buy wire and wire cutter and I’m going to do it! At last!
