New art! This is a piece originally made for the Prismatic Art Collection. The intention was to do a big fantasy battle featuring women heroes of different backgrounds. It was fun doing a fantasy scene where I got to choose all the parts rather than work solely from a strict description. Please click through to see the full-view. :)

A princess and her serpentine dragon :) 

This started off as more experimenting with shape and form, and then I started obsessing over it and had to finish it and get it out of the way so I could get back to focusing on my actual work. *cough* Overall I’m really happy with how it turned out. :)

One more update for today: This is a piece I did for Crossed Genres’ CG Magazine 2.0 Anthology.  (Well, technically it’s a personal piece I’d been working on that I finished up for them to use). An adventurer makes a discovery in an ancient temple!

Last in the series of illustrations for the Llewellyn Worldwide 2014 Astrology Calendar! :D

Sagittarius: November 22 - December 21. Mutable Fire sign. Colors: Deep purple, burgundy and deep red. Outgoing, athletic, curious, spiritual, confident, high spirited, restless. Often are wanderers, truth-seekers, believers, at least metaphorically. Have universal concerns and strong beliefs and want to save the world. That said, they are also very fun-loving, gregarious, and great to be around. Ruled by Jupiter and typically associated with an archer, so I’ve depicted the sign as an archer high up on a hill, shooting fire into the sky. (I guess she’s on Ganymede or something since Jupiter is that big in the sky. XD )

I want to give very special thanks to Lindsey Carmichael, Olympic Bronze medalist archer, who posed for me for this sign and helped me out immensely with getting the archery parts to look halfway accurate (which I would have completely failed at without her help). She is an amazing and super-nice person, and I am incredibly honored that I got to work with her. Thanks, Lindsey!! <3 (and thank you for being so patient with me, haha)

Just one more left after this! Next in the series of illustrations for the Llewellyn Worldwide 2014 Astrology Calendar:

Scorpio: October 23 - November 21. Fixed Water sign. Colors: deep red, royal blue, black. Intensely emotional, curious, intuitive, passionate, possessive, powerful, determined. Frequently associated with sexuality, the desire to merge with another, and to find fulfillment/completion with a partner or “other half.”  Worries about how to make their needs met by other people; wants to receive rather than give. Emotions are incredibly intense, but often hidden beneath the surface. Associated with deep waters filled with secrets, transformation, the Underworld, repressed or hidden emotions. Scorpios have the passion and determination to get whatever they want done. In my illustration, I have Scorpio  standing in a pool of still water in a cenote, holding her partner possessively but revealing little of her emotions in her face. (One of their associated stones is selenite, so I put a bunch of selenite crystal formations in the cave because it’s pretty :B also I love that the AD let me get away with putting the Scorpio symbol on the dude’s lower back, haha.)

Just a few more left in the series of illustrations for the Llewellyn Worldwide 2014 Astrology Calendar! :o

Libra: September 23- October 22. Cardinal Air sign. Colors: Green, blue-green, pale green. Balance, harmony, judgement, symmetry, relationships. Can be very diplomatic, finds balance between focus on the self and on others; negotiates, but not forcefully, and finds compromise. They use reasoned argument and intelligence to win people over, rather than relying on manipulation. Enjoy communicating their thoughts, are very intelligent and social. Always looking for fairness and harmony in all aspects of life. I tried depicting Libra as a calm, centered man finding balance on somewhat precarious stones (high up in the air, because he’s an air sign :B).

Virgo: August 23- September 22. Mutable Earth sign. Colors: Earthy greens, browns, wheat gold and ochre. Detail oriented, rational, industrious, harvester, gatherer, organizer. They care about the group, and love to be of service to others. Less focused on interacting with others than they are taking care of others needs. Love working with their hands. Associated with harvests, crops, orchards, wheat fields, healing, teaching, sorting. Here, Virgo is taking her harvest to go share with others (originally I had her holding a list, but I like this pose better; now she has a bunch of papers rolled up in the basket on her back). This is another of my favorites out of the set :) <3

Associated with a roaring fire, the Sun, the Heart. Leos tend to be talented, creative, and dramatic, warm and enthusiastic, dynamic and idealistic, but can also be vain and stubborn.  Natural leaders. Leo here is a woman in glowing armor with a fiery red mane of hair, carrying the banner of her people. :)

Cancer: June 22 - July 22. Cardinal water sign. Nurturing, protective, nostalgic, may appear hard on the outside but is sensitive on the inside. Colors: Pearl, blue-green, iridescent blues. Associated with caretakers, family, tradition, boats, lakes and streams, water plants, the moon, and being in tune with natural cycles. I decided to depict this sign as a woman reading a bedtime story to a little girl, floating on the water in a shell-house-boat thing.
