...or "Are you Serious?"  This article came through facebook this morning, and got me inspired to do something off the cuff. When you look at fantasy images of scantily clad women, do you honestly stop and think about what it is they're supposedly coming up against? Now, as an artist, I'm sure I'm guilty of doing this once in a while - "Sex Sells" and all that rot - but really, take one look

I love emotional portraits like this. I'm one of those people who can't listen to music without moving or singing, or....something. I honestly don't think music can be considered *good* music unless it moves you. It's become a rare occasion for me to be able to put on my headphones, turn upthe music, and tune out the rest of the world. I miss it.And lately, I've needed it a lot.

Sort of an experimental idea we're going to try this year at the convention. Depending on how well the idea of these prints go over, I'll make more, but for now, expect one or two to come through the pipe.  Feedback welcomed on how much you might pay, or if you'd be interested in purchasing them.

Working on a new venture... well, not really. In the 3D world, I have always a lot of creation of my own textures and so forth - I've just never bothered marketing them, or even wrapping them into finished packages. I've recently started contemplating doing just that though, and probably selling through Accidental Squirrel to help fund the habit ;) We shall see how it goes...

Caesar, our English Bulldog, began having seizures last night at 7:30pm. Since then, we have been calling animal hospitals and emergency care centers attempting to locate someone who would see him. Unfortunately, we have been unable to find a vet in the area who is willing to take payments. We were quoted upwards of $1800 for treatment to include several days of boarding, blood work, and

Belated post for Veteran's Day. To all our Men and Women who are serving, or have served - Thank you! I have been lucky enough to have several friends and family members in my life who served, and it is with deep appreciation and respect that I pass on this little bit of a salute (with apologies for inaccuracies of any flavor).

I am an unrepentant worshiper of Spiral.I have loved her since I first laid eyes on her in the comics.I don't know whether it was all those arms, or just the sheer madness that surrounded her with Mojoworld and the like, but I have always adored her - no matter what she may have done to my darling Longshot ;)

Doing a little promo work for this beautiful set by Arki and Spiritfoxy that we've just finished testing over at The Dream Team Project. I swear, these wings have got to be the most amazing things I've ever seen in the 3D universe! Just SO many feathers!!! :D  And always a pleasure to work with these two wonderful ladies!

Orchid had to make an appearance on her favorite day of the year.It's become an annual appearance really (not halloween, just how often she seems to decide she needs a portrait done), and a it's a shame because I just adore her. This is the longest I've ever left a morph alone with her character. I think I'm finally happy with her face, just the way she is, and all of the revisions she's gone

In Greek mythology, the Keres (singular: Ker) were female death-spirits. They were daughters of Nyx (night) & Erebus (chaos). I thought it might be fitting for the holiday She decided to take over my thoughts an needed to get out of my head...now maybe I can sleep again, lol.

Esdalta, is an Elysian Titan and the true form of Lady Emilia Turrisardor. The scaling on this was a nightmare but I actually had fun trying to stack scenes that weren't meant to be stacked in order to create the taller room. Thanks to Jonathan Lotman for commissioning me on these two.

Here we have Lady Emilia Turrisardor from a campaign of Jon Lotman's who commissioned me to create this piece for her and another of her alternate self. The dress is a hodgepodge of about 6 different outfits, if not more. The staff is also frankensteined together from three different pieces. She was fun though and her other self, who I am working on now is proving to be much less so, LOL!

Aaaaand, on we go with my revisits This is my Kuma - "The Voice of Spring". She actually had a revisit back in '09 - here - and this is only a slightly different that version, but I figured that if I was going to go through the ranks, I may as well let her make an appearance early since she does have a tendency to steal the show.

In my recent run of revisiting old characters, I decided I really needed to go back and redo my folks from Lost Hopes (a much revised manuscript that haunts me continuously). Victor here is one of my main characters - a handsome, charming Nephilim who takes a young woman under his wing to protect her from...well, a lot of things. Here is his original from 5 years ago.

Hope had never seen a woman with skin so dark. Were it not for her eyes - those same icy blue eyes - she would have doubted any hint of shared bloodline between the woman sitting across from her and her precious Victor. This did nothing to ease her racing heart however, for while she had immediately felt safe with Viviana and her crew, she felt nothing of that sort at the moment. Yes

Promised I'd do something Steampunk...so here she is. Shad and I, while fleshing out a campaign world, ended up on the topic of brothels and the "number of whores per 10,000" (don't ask), so for the last four days I've had this lady tromping around my head. I'm quite pleased with her though, and I am IN LOVE with that dress! so she will be making an appearance again at some point, even if

I've been doing a lot of D&D conversions and story-boarding recently, so for whatever reason I ended up with this in my head last night. I won't go into all the problems she gave me, I'm just glad she's finally done!! For those unfamiliar with Mariliths, they appear in the D&D monster manual under the Demon listing, they are commonly generals in the demonic armies.

LONG overdue fan/gift Art for Black Label Comic & Ian Struckhoff of a Nebula Siren from the upcoming one-shot comic FAILSAFE. I had wanted to do something with these since the 30-character-challenge a while back, but couldn't quite wrap my head around them then. Now I think I'm in love :D You can find out more: here and can help to fund the publication of the FAILSAFE comic here.

Okay...I've had one of those "Look-how-far-you've-come" moments with this one. This is a revisit of one of my D&D characters, Sorcha Shadowwight, the owner of Sorcha's Sorceries ("Anything and everything...for a price..."). We'd recently started talking about her again, and I decided I needed to update her character image, and boy, did I! Here are the originals from 2007!! [link]

These three are meant to be a trio of prophetic sisters, off in a secluded cave. They speak in verse, and send adventurers out on (nearly) impossible quests in order to find clues to their destiny.

"I don't hide myself for the sake of myself, but for the sake of the general public..." 4th and final (for now) of Daeva S'raosha, this one in her true, tiefling form. (I purposely matched it up to the full character shot for ease of comparison).

"At her monastery, there is was prophecy. They speak of births by immaculate means and of a child who will bring great peace - one who will bring great destruction. My mother believed me to be the former...the priests, the latter." Daeva S'rosha, tiefling sorcerer/rogue - in her more "mortal" form. The name means (daeva) "false god of obedience" (sraosha)

Submission to Darkhorse Comic's Alice Fan Art Contest. I have been madly in love with this game since it first came out. The dark, twisted nature of it was absolutely wonderful and has always brought out my Cheshire grin :D I am aware the cat is not precise, but the more I tried to replicate the cat from the game, the more I liked this fellow more. Besides - it's an interpretation, not a copy :)

I am not a fan of this version of Psylocke. I never have been. Betsy was one of my favorite characters in the X-men before the whole Kwannon/Revanche mess came into play. I never quite recovered from it, I guess. I miss Betsy the way she was. I realize she was a little...soft...for the x-men with all their action packed muckety-muck, but that's why I adored her. She was more endearing that way.

My beloved, I hurt you because I need to remember. We are forever bound in blood and sin. You need to be reminded. This is how a demon loves.My Orchid and her beloved, Michael. It needed to be done...and yes, that's a win tossed across the room there.It was in her way.

Ororo Munroe is probably one of the most wonderful characters to grace the comics, in my opinion. This s one of the lesser depicted facets of her from way back in my younger days. So many know her more glamorous "Wind Rider" persona with the flowing cape and long, flowing hair. I always thought this side of her was reminiscent of her 'street days' - nevermind the heart attack I had when she

Remington Etienne LeBeau AKA Gambit.I have adored him since he first graced the pages of Uncanny X-men Annual #14 in 1990 (wow I feel old...). He was probably the first Marvel character I had became enamored with (after Forge, that is) and stayed loyal to throughout.Don't get me started on him and Rogue though...Just don't.Gambit is © to Marvel Comics

I love Mystique.Of all the characters in the Marvel Universe, she has got to be at the top of my list of absolute favorites. I was viciously furious over what they did to her in the X-men film. So much so that I refused to watch it for probably two years after it came out. To this day, I still believe it was their only excuse to have Rebecca Romjin walking the set naked...

COMMISSIONS NEEDED!!As some of you might know, my husband lost his job in May. While we were expecting him to be able to find something relatively quick, he still hasn't been able to find work.That said, I need to drum up some commissions, large or small, to help pay the bills.Avatars (for use in forums, etc. You let me know the size) - $5Digital commissions (single character, plain background,
