The First Sketchdump of the Year!

Haw haw haw She said dump *snickers*

As promised I've scanned in a bunch of stuff to compile for a New Year's post!

The first sketch is something specifically for the new year, and the second is a sketchdump I've been piecing together (mainly sketches and doodles from work and such as I hardly had any time recently to do much outside of my full time job and thumbs for the Adeline book).

In any case, I hope you guys enjoy them! As always I'm open for commissions if any of ya got some cash burning a hole in your pocket :D

And Happy New Year officially! *HUGSALLAROUND*

Some Fembot's been dipping into the moonshine, poor Adeline...


And here's the first dump of the year (*still snickers*)
I'm hoping to get some more doodles done as soon as possible, especially if I get that job at Tax again this year and have the notepads in front of me again :B

Happy New Year!

Hey guys and gals! Just dropping by to wish everyone a spectacular new year! Here's to new promises of fulfilling last year's resolutions etc lol

To celebrate I'll be working on my next set of official sketchcards for 5Finity based on the series Shi. So I can't wait to get those done and some other projects I have underway.

I'll probably have an image to post tomorrow to ring in the new year because I'd feel bad about not having on on hand for tonight *le gaspe!*

Regardless, have a safe and wonderful night everyone!

It's That Time of Year...

...I start cranking up The Carpenters Christmas albums and work myself into a stupor. So far it's been an enjoyable month, I don't sit near the radio at work listening to "other" Christmas music (I loathe) and things have been quite nice in my personal life as of late, couldn't be happier. Dating does that to people I guess :3

On the art front I finished laying out the thumbnail images to the first Adeline book, just getting them onto proper layout pages so I can have Leanne and Rod Hannah take a gander (because their input and suggestions are valuable nuggets I will not part with!). Maybe then I might post some teaser images here to show off and get motivated to start the actual pages! It's all falling into place mwahaha-- err *ahem*

Anyway now to the part you guys come here for, the art. I drew this piece for the annual holiday cards I send out to friends, family, and clients. Usually I do fanart but this year has been all about the OC's so I took Adeline out for a spin with some owls in tow. I'm really with how everything turned out!

Anyway, I've got a few things lined up. I'll be working on a set of Shi cards for 5Finity Productions this month (well, as soon as I get the cards :D ) a commission I'm almost done coloring, and a Sariel piece that's almost done being colored as well. Other than that I could certainly use some commissions. I also added a "donate" button at the top of the blog for anyone willing to help a starving artist out. After this month I might being going back into panic mode as the job I'm at now will start layoffs soon and I don't have anything else lined up in the meantime.

But enough about that for now, think happy thoughts! (which reminds me... I need to do a Hook themed piece at some point)

Happy Holidays everyone!

One More Before You Bust a Gut...

Thought I'd get some more stuff up before a weekend of gluttony initiates! I've been meaning to post a Loki doodle I did for my sister Nicole. So there's that, and there's some sketches I did in my travel moleskine...

Also, I'm going to be pretty tight financially for awhile until my checks start to balance out (since they're all the size of my rent exactly). So I'll be taking on commissions if anyone is interested and I'll be coming up with some sketchcard sets to sell off as well.

Here's a scan of all the Grimm cards together! Just thought they looked pretty badass...


For the life of me I can't remember what I've posted! I'm just too lazy to double back and check :B But I can't wait to get a chance to finish this! Sariel loves her metal pussy *snerk*


And a Loki I doodled...


And lastly, some sketches of characters I haven't drawn in awhile. I'm totally bringing the half-robot boy back...


Let me know what you guys think! And have fun stuffing your faces tomorrow! I'm gonna see some horses!! :D

Another Sketchdump!

It's been awhile since I just threw a bunch of stuff around here with no reason whatsoever than to bug you all. But I completely forgot to post one of my commissions and some sketches I had been working on in King Moleskine.

I wish I had the time to draw more shit at work! lol

We'll start off with a new OC I started working on earlier last week. There's a possibility I might be using her for the Adeline story I'm working on. Thanks to my buddy Zoé Chamoux, she's got a name! From henceforth she'll be known as Mashreen!



Here's a lineup of a bunch of the girls I've drawn so far (need to add Mashreen in there at some point!). Love love LOVE Adeline's expression in this!


Here's a Black Orchid commission I did for Roy Johnson!


And lastly, a sketchcard I did of Adeline on my breaks at work.


Hope you all are doing well! Gonna be busy inscribing a metric shitload of holiday cards soon and making thumbs for my next official set of cards. But I'll still be open for any commissions if any of you should feel inclined to hit me up :D

And for those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, have a good one! I hope I can get some turkey and mash this year :D

Grimm Fairy Tales - THE SET!

So I got the go ahead to post my cards after the 20th and so here they are!!! I've been waiting since August to show these babies off! :D This is my first official set of sketchcards (with more I hope in the future!), I did these for 5Finity Productions. I love these cards and I can't wait to get my return cards in the mail...

Let me know what you guys think! (and hopefully these will convince others to commission old Danielle for more cards!)






As always, I'm looking for commissions so if you need something special for the holidays *wink wink nudge nudge* say no more!

~Danielle

Finally it's Done! :D

My Bond commission for Chris Kohler!

It's taken me awhile to finish it, but I really wanted to make this piece shine. It's been a few years since I've done anything this big, and the first time I've added background elements to my portrait pieces, but I'm very thrilled with how it turned out!

I'll be putting together a tutorial on how to color marker portraits soon using photos I took while working on this. Exciting stuff!!

Materials:
15x20 hot press illustration board
Prismacolor markers
Luma opaque white paint



As always, I'm open for commissions. Just shoot me an e-mail and we can go from there :D

Obligatory Halloween Image!!!

Halloween is almost upon us and it's already snowing out! So I hunkered down and scribbled a Halloween themed piece with my OC's Sariel and Adeline.



I'll be quitting my job at Lane Bryant soon so I can keep my weekends free to use on working on my commissions. Not that they use me much anyway, but they keep calling me in on days I thought I was off. *UGH*

Anyway, I have a few commissions in progress that I can't wait to post! Stay tuned!
