Feature Friday: Carrying the Load

Hello there everyone~! I hope you all are doing well these days. Recently, Antigone and I got back from Kami-Con 2013, and while it was a profitable venture for us both, it was easily one of the most trying experiences of our career. I won’t go into too much detail, (considering I have lingered on this topic for far too long now) But for those of you who didn’t know, feel free to read my full experience of the convention that I wrote a few days ago.

Kami-Con 2013 Journal

Thankfully, Antigone and I have been graced with some truly amazing friends and supporters. After writing this, I think our inboxes got flooded with letters of concern, sympathy, and love. The love and support that we received meant the world to us, but even so, pain still lingers and the healing process is an ongoing thing.

I felt like because of all this, now would be a good time to put into motion an idea I’ve had for a long time now. “Feature Friday” a day where I feature something that truly inspires me to create and/or better myself in some particular way, and share it with everyone. Continue reading

Tour Guide From The Underworld

I’m a fucking professional artist. And nobody forget it~!

XD I had a lot of fun with this one. Took my time, and just went with it~! This new illustration was my first attempt at a brand new paint style. *gasp*! No lines~! Well, I’m trying to become more of a painter. Painting is where my roots as well as my background, as well as my brain in art all lie. So, I figure I should refine my style so that it suits ME and MY strengths, not everyone else’s expectations and preconceived notions.

As for the piece itself? Tourguide is a little cutie~! Again, I absolutely enjoyed playing with her body and giving her a lovely more full figure. Add an an alluring TourBed to taste, and you’ve got yourself a Fun night~

Enjoy my lovely friends/loves/viewers~

Also, a Quick announcement~

It’s that time of the year again. Yep. you Guessed it! The Yule~! Heh, you guys probably have no clue what the Yule is. Well, in essence, it’s a pagan holiday, and what many Christmas traditions have been based off of. It’s the time of the year when the darkness has fully settled in, and from here on out, the light will begin to slowly return to the world. For us witches, its a time of togetherness, recollection, and appreciation of what we have. Also, fun fact, the yule takes place this year on the very same prophesied end of the Mayan Calendar. Also, another fun fact, as the earth revolves around the sun, the axis of the earth itself slowly rotates. A full rotation takes about 26,000 years. The circle of rotation is divided into a bunch of different sections, kinda like a pie, and each section marks an era of the earth. The Age of the Pisces is what you have all experienced during your lifetime’s thus far. Well, the earth will enter the next era, the age of the Aquarius on the day of the Yule/The end of the Mayan Calendar. The 21st. Heavy stuff huh? No matter what way you look at it, it marks a special occasion for the Earth.

Anyways, With all of that being said~! Were having a Sale~! Celebrating all of these wonderful new landmarks and changes. It’s a wonderful time to be alive right now, so we should all be happy and celebrate it!

From now till the end of the Month, 20% off all of the items available in our store.

Fall Nessa Progress

Fall Nessa Progress

Gawd… This one has been killing me. I’ve been putting pretty much all I’ve got into this. Reason being…

Antigone and I are Rebranding and Revamping Faerie’s Dice. It was a fun year, but it’s time for a much needed change, and with that change, we need Nessa to change along with Faerie’s Dice. Thus… explains the new Fall look that she is sporting now.

I’ll go into more detail later as to what this new rebranding means for Faerie’s Dice, and it’s loyal supporters~ Only good things can happen from here on out. But for now, As for this drawing… Every single part of it has been a long rocky road… After I had fully rendered the skin, I had to completely erase the face area, and do major edits to the face and hair. Luckily, all went well, and Nessa herself is basically finished.

With any luck, tomorrow I will cram all day and get a background going. And when that’s finished, I’ll post the final version tomorrow.

the rebirth of Faerie’s Dice is imminent. Look forward to it everyone~

I serve the Faerie Queen,

Oh? What’s this here? Who might you be?

Well you’ve just come upon the finest waters of Feywilde you see~!

Anything you desire I happen to have

My bright things know and understand all

Shining, shimmering, so deep in Feywilde

lies all of the answers to stories untold

Your memories unfold, so deeply unto me

There is nothing I don’t hold deep in my sea

Pregnant with answers, Wisdom is life

Birthing of instinct, Knowledge is death

Perhaps the answers are more shallow than you think?

Come here for pleasure? I have that as well!

My flesh unto yours, will make you feel swell~!

Listen to my song and absorb my light

my waters shimmer brightly with all their might

they hold the answers that you will forever seek

do what you will, for this is my sea~

As shallow as your heart might be

or as deep as the depths of my trenches

there is nothing that my bright things can’t quench,

Deep down in the waters of Feywilde anything goes

You should know! This is my sea! You are free!

Think as you think, feel as you feel, come as are

Down in here feel free to touch! Come on! Come feel!

There’s nothing inside of you that I can’t see!

Your memories unfold, so deeply unto me

There is nothing I don’t hold deep in my sea!

Minutes to hours, and seconds to days

What time was it again? Oh my, who cares~

Time and space be such a fickle things

For I know all so deep in my sea~

So loosen your muscles, and rest your back

Let my hands caress you, in that place you hold dear

I can feel your pleasure, oh how good it must feel?

I can feel your pain, what strive you must hold~

I am your mother, your sister, and your lover..

I am the keeper of all bright things

For I know all and live among the sea

and I serve the Faerie Queen.

Rhaza

 

I serve the Faerie Queen.

To carve the path where she shall grow

My sword an extension of the earth,

My body an extension of my sword,

I raise my hand and spread my wings

To reach a land that’s far beyond me

Plants will grow and earth will sing

of all the glory my sword will bring

I am the hand that will touch the sky

A heart that burns more brightly than god

I surrender my body to the earth itself

To stand between the void and herself

My body an extension of my sword,

My sword an extension of the earth,

Never again shall Feywilde die,

I serve the Faerie Queen.

Warrior Maiden of the Mother Progress

Warrior Maiden of the Mother Progress

When my commissioner commissioned me to do Mother goddess, little did he know that he was getting much much more than he paid for.

It is with great honor that I post progress of this… The first form of Mother Goddess. I’m going to fully render this, and when it’s finished, she is going to be added inside of one of the orbs of the Mother Goddess drawing that I have been working on.

I wasn’t originally planning on going so “All out” with this drawing.. But it has taken a form of it’s own, and I am it’s humble guide. This is my gift to one of my best friends. For thinking just as much about me as he did himself, when he commissioned me to do this sacred piece of art.

Black Luster Reborn

Black Luster Reborn

So! recently someone commissioned me to do a revision of my favorite image that I have drawn so far,

Photobucket

And edit her so that she was completely nude. Needless to say, I was STOKED. This image is by far, one of my top favorites. I love my BLS girl. XP The figure I gave her was so full and “Sensual” so naturally I enjoyed turning her into a fully nude figure. It was actually quite a process. There were so MANY anatomy mistakes, like horrendous ones. I had to pretty much repaint her, and I made sure to add extra details where I could. I re-positioned her pose a bit, and once again, made tons of corrections to her anatomy. I do hope it looks okay, and reads well to you all. I really think that this is an improvement over the original. (Though the original had some flair to it that still makes it comparable to some degree)

Oh yes, and this piece will be in our Faerie’s Dice art book “Year and a Day”. The book will be a collection of 20 of our best pieces of artwork during the beginnings of Faerie’s Dice, as well as personal writings from both antigone and myself, and even an art tutorial that details our creative process.

Enjoy everyone~
