Tattoo Neptune

I wanted to take my mind off of things and draw something familiar yet different. I succeeded!

I've had tattoos on the brain lately. I don't have any and never really expected to get one. But lately I've been thinking about getting a little something for the experience of a tattoo. We'll see if I go through with it!

I've always admired classic tattoo art. I just love it! But I had never really thought about illustrating in that style before. So today I did! I don't expect to be doing it often but it was a fun little study.

Eglė

Yesterday I received a postcard from Palanga, Lithuania with this statue of Eglė, the Queen of Serpents. I had never heard of her but looked it up and it's a very popular fairy tale of a woman, Eglė, who was taken under the sea to marry the King of Serpents. Her family ended up killing him so she was so heartbroken she turned her 4 children and herself into trees. I don't know about that ending but I love a good sea related myth!

That got me inspired to do this:

It's got all my favorite colors! I could draw sea nymphs and creatures all day, every day and be a happy girl! I especially like my serpents.

Momo

I just wanted to brag about the cutest picture I think I've ever taken of my dog. I only wish I had taken it on my actual camera and not my phone. Oh well!

I also doodled this the other day and I don't think I posted it here.

About me

New "About Me" image for Tumblr. Me, Ysera the cat and Momo the corgi. Aren't we adorable?

Galadriel

I finally went and saw The Hobbit. I was only like 2 weeks late but it was only because I wanted to wait and see it in all it's HFR, 3D, Dolby Atmos, glory! Which I did. I don't know how I felt about it in 3D (since I'm not usually into 3D anyhow) but the HFR definitely made the 3D better.

It should come as no surprise that Galadriel is my favorite middle earthling. I just felt I needed a little doodle of her.

Miss Universe

I was just looking at all the Miss Universe national dresses and loved Trinidad and Tobago's! So I did this!

They're all so fabulous. I feel so inspired by all of them! 

Ysera

Before I started with the real colors I had this. I thought it looked especially snazzy so I'm letting the world see too!

I actually haven't played WoW in awhile. I was just thinking about Ysera and wanted to draw her. I ended up with this.

I think about Ysera a lot though. I have a cat that I named Ysera. She's adorable. I don't mean to brag but I'm pretty sure she's the best cat anyone could ask for. Just look at her! Her favorite past time is cuddling in bed with me.

She's even a fan of Halloween. She was a ballerina this year.
