So, ever now and then, someone comes up to you and and says “If you only had X I would buy it!” Well, when your favorite drinking lion comes up and says it, how can you resist?
So, inspired, I whipped this up, and I think it turned out pretty good. It was decided he would look best as a badge, so a badge he became. He will likely inspire a bit more complicated piece down the road.
So everyone say hello to the rather dapper Eonadari after a long night of keeping the dance going!
First! (Had to do it)
I was really honored by this commission! Leon’s parents wanted someone to make him his very first art badge for his very first convention. Considering he is only 9 months old, I imagine his collection over the years will be impressive, but I hope this badge will have a special place in his heart.
His fursona is a white tiger/ fox hybrid. His mane hasn’t grown in at this point, but there are hints of things to come in this piece. The pose is from an adorable picture provided by his parents. Hopefully someday down the line I can do another for him.
The final badge is done in Copic markers on Strathmore Bristol 500 vellum. The background takes a special technique I picked up from a Copic class I took a while ago. I will have to go into it a bit more in a different post someday.
The Ann Arbor Art Fair is in full swing wesnesday through Saturday. Stop and see Julie of Dragon Fly Arts behind the holistic center.
Today’s Dessertimal is an anteater and a doughnut you might just recognize a bit. This wAs done with copic markers and liners. My husband tells me I use to much pink. Who’d of thunk it;)
My friend Julie of Dragon Fly Arts is in the Ann Arbor art fair behind the holistic center.
Today’s Dessertimal is Grrr, bonbon mmm. It’s done with Copic markers, liners, and paint. Omg humidity and markers don’t mix. They kept bleeding and it wasn’t pretty.
Hey! A friend of mine is in the art fair. Julie of Dragon Fly Arts is behind the holistic center.
Maybe eventually I’ll get around to art fairs.
In the meantime, here is a new Drunkimal:
Done with copic marker and liners this dude gave me no end of troubles. He kept streaking cause I’d f’d up my marker (ask me when you see me and I’ll tell you about it).
