Daily Creativity: Thankful Thursday – Lael

Lael as Pop Art - HackerGroupie
Today is Thankful Thursday, and it’s Art Month so I give you Lael, done in Pop Art.  I really like how her eyes came out.

Lael is one of the people that I met through my roleplaying group online (star trek) and one of the first online friends of mine to become a real life friend.  She and I often refer to one another as Sis (as if I don’t have enough sisters) because we are twins… from different mothers.  Our interests tend to be the same and are often going through similar things in our lives at the same time.  We joke that one of us is the good twin and the other is the evil twin, of course we never agree on who is the evil twin.

Lael has an Amazing voice and I have few songs of hers in my MP3 collection, but not nearly as many as I’d like (hint hint, record more).  She has provided back up vocals for a couple of different projects.  She’s an amazing writer who ran a writing challenge group I was a part of years ago.  She loves Buffy and Star Trek (especially sexy nosed Bajorans) and Dr Who and many other geek things.  I have many memories of yaking on the phone with her for hours.  Having Lael at my wedding was very important to me and I was so grateful.  In the two trips she’s made to NY she was able to hang with my family and belong.  Without Lael I wouldn’t have had support through some pretty trying times in my life, I’m thankful to always have someone in my life that loves me how she loves me.  I will always love her and keep her close in my heart.

Rory Brushing his Fangs
Good hygiene is important, even for little dragons. You want to keep those chompers white and sharp.

I think this will eventually become a water color, I really like how it came out and I’m often drawing Rory from the side but I really like how this from the front angle came out. I think the fur took the longest.

You will notice his pins, one if for the podcast SciFi Dig, one if a Casey’s Cadet’s badge that he got from Christianna Ellis at I think our first Balticon and the third doesn’t actually exist (yet) it’s a Flash Pulp pin, he needs one of those. For now we have stickers.

Daily Creativity: Eye see you

Eye see you
Eyes are always fun to draw (and yes I know that’s a warning sign for schizophrenia, my answer to that is, my mother had be tested, sorta) and for some reason I like drawing them with something different. I like cyber eyes from the shadowrun world, but tonight I drew something for my table top game (steampunk shadowrun) Victoriana. I think I could add to this and build upon it. Also, I’m trying to not think about this steam eye being adjusted.

I can right explain this image, I just like it. The idea came to me and I went with it. It’s 9AM as I’m posting this and my husband keeps trying to tell me that it is Tuesday. He doesn’t understand that it’s still Monday for me because I haven’t gone to bed yet. I stayed up to get some work done (work that wasn’t sent to me till about 12 hours ago) so I just finished my Monday’s work… me making sense right now isn’t going to happen. Enjoy

Yes, this is very silly, but don’t tell me you never thought that the saucer section of the ships in Star Trek looked like turtle shells.

I think our buddy Shelldon here is on his way to meet A’Tuin.

(You may have noticed that there wasn’t a Daily Creativity yesterday.  That’s because I missed it.  Yes, I ended up working so late friday night that I slept most of Saturday (but since I got my work turned in, I could sleep Saturday) and since I didn’t do my drawing before going out gaming, and gaming ran pretty late (and was a blast, minus the part where my husband broke the corner of his foot) that when we got home we went right to bed and it wasn’t till this morning that I realized I missed a day.  I think this may be the first time I have missed a day during lent or art month in three years… though there might have been one missed day the first year.  I feel really bad about it, but I’m trying to not beat myself up over it.)
