Rapunzel

Rapunzel

New portrait. The hair is supposed to cocoon her, protect her, keep her warm. The brightness levels seem a little strange here on my laptop, so I hope she looks ok to you! I wanted to create a certain ethereal softness, with very little contrast. Lamb-soft, and pale. I think that I prefer the first, cropped version, although the cocoon effect is more apparent in the full version (in the last image).

And a new digital drawing on the magical/nature/Singing Tree theme. Not sure that I am satisfied with this at the moment, so I may alter the image, create new heads for the boys. Love the idea though. I'm not very experienced with drawing male figures, so this is something of a new challenge for me.

Hello August!

It is so good to be back! Although it hasn't exactly been a long time, it does actually feel so, for some reason. I am not quite through with the work/deadlines just yet, but hope to be able to return to my own little world by Monday at the very latest. I am planning to continue where I left off with House of Cards, this time working with a new character called Alix Baxter. I can see her so clearly and ache to begin.

Anyway, the dress is from H&M, a dotty, chiffon affair.

Mirlo's close-up, as always, is just perfect.

And on a work note: I have finally been able to update the shop. Apologies to those of you who were awaiting Ivory Towers, she appears to have been in the spotlight this past week and actually sold out. Well, she's back now, alongside many more. I shall be creating brand new sets of portrait samplers for the coming week, too, which will include many of the more recent images from the series, so do watch out for them!

Oh, and the lovely square format postcard pictured at the start of this post features my darling little Tilly, printed and distributed by LaLa Land, Australia. Postcard sets and posters of my work are available to purchase at LaLa Land, with two different collections already in the making.

More soon!

Sometimes, photography enables me to illustrate the most intricate depths of my dreams with far more accuracy than my digital painting/ illustration. This project has re-awakened some very happy old ghosts.
