Aceo of the day - Whimsical Wigwam

Aceo of the day

whimsical houses - whimsical wigwam

As I sold quite a few "houses" cards over the weekend I'm going to have to replenish my stock soo.... back to houses for a while :) This is the first new idea I've had so far, hope to get a few more done in the next week or so - ready for the next ebay free weekend.  I'm not having much time to paint lately with the little one being on school holidays and the other half disappearing for driving lessons on his days off, but I shall do my best.

Aceo of the day - Phoenix

Aceo of the day

Fantasy doodles - Phoenix

Todays doodle - a phoenix amidst the flames :) Hopefully looks a tad oriental as that was the mood I was going for.

Ebay listings have now closed. 12 sales this week - mostly houses. Will have to paint up a few more for next time :)

Aceo of the day - Red dragon

Aceo of the day

fantasy doodles - red dragon
 Another dragon - this time a red one to make a change :) Am having fun doing these little fantasy "doodles" -  it's been a while since I drew fantasy just for fun and I think my pen and wash type technique seems to work quite well. I'm loving the vibrant colours that watercolors give too :)

A reminder before I go that my e-bay listings will end tomorrow afternoon so anyone wanting to bid or buy please head on over.

Aceo of the day - Winged Unicorn

Aceo of the day

fantasy doodles - winged unicorn


 A bit of a darker one today :) This one was basicly an experiment - I wanted to see what sort of effect I could get with dropping rock salt into wet paint. Interesting if nothing else :)

As Ebay had another free listings weekend - my listings are up and original aceo art can be purchased here:

Today's doodle seems to have turned out unicorn shaped :) This is what I came up with while watching Britain's next top model earlier on. Makes a change from dragons I guess lol.

This one turned out a little brighter than I expected *puts on sunglasses*. I do have a soft spot for blue dragons so you'll probably be seeing a few of them over time :)

Another fantasy style doodle - this time a shimmering sea dragon. I haven't used this pen and wash type technique for fantasy art really before but I think I'm starting to like it :)

Having a break from doing houses and cats for a couple of days and going back to drawing fantasy as I haven't really done any for a few months. With it being the school holidays at the moment, painting time is limited so I may not be posting daily again until September.

Aceo of the day - raven blade

Aceo of the day

Raven Blade
This is technically not an Aceo card - my other half asked me to make him an avatar for a gaming forum he uses. This is what I came up with :) it's a little wonky but he likes it so that's all that matters really ;)
