          Our good family friends had it made in Asia, after the design on my homepage.

          *loves it to bits*

          anyhow, people asked for scans, these are not scans but better pics 🙂
          first, chinese:

          then a new one, bringer of light her name:
          (counterpart to “this is the end”)

          then the zebra, behind a link BECAUSE BEWARE OF NUDDDYY NEEEKKID PARTS
          http://cathuman.com/2007/mmc/zebrafriend.jpg

          and last but not least, another A3, “the mountain of the great one”

          and now, I think both my brain and hands just died …[/list]

                sure Basil 😉 though take your time, i dont know how soon I may have time for commisses again :/
                here’s one more artpiece for the artshow on thursday. This is Managarm, son of Fenrir, eating the moon and splattering blood across the sun and therefore opening the age of wolves, darkness on earth.
                Norse mythology of the futuristic end of earth, Ragnarök. This legend can vary depending on source, but there is definitly moon-eating involved 😉
                painting is watercolors on A2, using only red and black aswell a tiiiny bit of cyan for the moon.
                beware, there is blood involved:

                  I thought manticores had no wings at all, thats what I read in many books and saw in many artworks (older ones)
                  Please dont bite my head off but I found rechearching in DnD books for roleplays not that good, I’d rather try to use old mythology books or online lexika

                    names can be found everywhere. with the weirdest sources 😉
                    my main charactere from my novel is partially named after…. *drumroll* printing paper.
                    Isnt that glorious?
                    anyhow, I quite often have to find names for my creatures. Sometimes they are not at all original like Velvina the velvet dragon (she still remains a sweety though). I try to listen to what name comes to me in the process. Of course I have a visualisation like a sculpture/painting but usually the name comes to me after the work is done. I sit down and think of relations of the charactere, what it represents. Often they are names related to the looks of the figure, may it be appearance or resemblance in personal view and then change a bit.
                    Races are harder. Sentient races even more. Because you have to keep in mind what they would want to be called. Else you could grab the classical science trick of Dracus Akeylus with the name of the “finder”.
                    Its important to take your time and listen to the name when it hits you. I found it useful to take whatever comes into my mind, and I think I only once used a name that was suggested (it was Diego for a doglike race). Have no fears or doubts in weirdness, I have weirdisms like Meme-Heyley and boredisms as False Gorgon too 😉

                    PS: sounds like an awesome plot and characteres… when can we buy the published version? 😉

                      fin, cant quite be seen, but the splotches are new and some minor details on the gold has been changed. Didnt get around picturing those details yet. Want to sketch in it first.
                      here you can see how the sketchbook tightly fits in the cover

                      plotting on the dragon idea, but may not get to do it soonish… *stares tight scedule*

                              *giggles* no prob basil 🙂
                              I do to much as that people could remeber what I do. Like… I once made lamps out of foils and glass pearls, like the salt cristall ones.

                              this is the forum I talked about:
                              http://ooakguild.com/index.php?name=Forums

                              FITA, as in the big polymer artists has her page here:
                              http://faeriesintheattic.com/gallery.html

                              unfortunately her old pieces are gone, she made some dragons too, though I like her human pieces more. I remember her selling a SELKIE sculpture for a full 10 grands. Her auctions go “only” for one tenth these days however.
                              She’s here on ebay (my fav of her lates figures)
                              http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300099976274

                              She keeps her procedures secret, I still dont know how she gets the skin to not moon (polymer does that). It is rumored that she uses ProSculpt (expensive polymer, said to moon too) mixed with something else. SOmething. We’ll, try and try and experiment 😉

                              oh, moons are these:

                              if you look close you can see the slightly white blotches, they appear beneath the “skin” and are highly annoying. And dont look to close, those mermaids are like… 4 years old…

                                I know you said summer, but I believe thats the only one I am really excited about. And a tad bit HP, for the Thestrals mainly cause I am one of a huge CGI Critter freak 🙂

                                  hehe, right 🙂
                                  I may make a second one, over a real book. I actually wanted to make it a dragon first but decided that my dragon logo would just be… never let me sleep this week *g*
                                  I’m here at school and annoyed I could not take it with me…
