Galaxy Pony MLP Repaint + William Gruff Goat ACEO

Halloo!!
Something slightly different this round- a My Little Pony Repaint! Ahhh, I'm such a dork!
I was *obsessed* with these stupid toys when I was a wee lass; I even remember this one specific pony that I threw a TANTRUM over until my mother finally broke down and bought it for me. (side note- I was not the type of child to throw fits over anything tangible, but damn...I really wanted that pony!) I must admit, I still have a great deal of love for vinyl toys, all the better if they are colorful and have lots of pretty hair! When I discovered how well I took to painting on them, I was elated to have a justification for buying them. I mean, I buy toys here and there for no reason other than I want them, but now to have an actual reason is pretty nifty.

Blah blah, anyhow...this is the first repainted pony in a series of the planets in our solar system. I realize that "galaxy" is not a planet, but eff you, the idea for the series came after completing this first repaint. I am hoping to get one completed every month. So, without any more rambling, allow me to introduce "Galaxy Pony":

(lots more photos at the link!)

Yes, not a planet, just a vast (or tiny, you pick your perspective) bit of pony sky. Many thin layers of acrylic paint, teeny tiny stars, little blips of color, all sealed with shiny varnish. Pony's hair is hand colored with alcohol inks, and I tried to style it as best I could (If you've seen my own hair, then we can agree that I did a fairly decent job here haha). Galaxy Pony is small, measuring approximately 3" high at the tallest part, and about 2" long. I have initialed the bottom of one foot, and dated another. Pony does come with a certificate of authenticity as well.
I've listed this piece on eBay with a starting bid of just $15- while this pony took a lot of hours to complete, I do consider this more of a hobby, so I am pricing to SELL. Also, studio space is limited, so if you want this little creature, please do consider adopting! The link to the auction is HERE or you can always click on the photo above or the link below the photo to view the auction!

Before I run off and get into my other 8000 projects, let me also mention this guy- "William Gruff"- a new original ACEO illustration! He is also currently up for auction on eBay- link is below the photo:

So...that is all for the moment. I apologize for skipping last week's comic, I have been feeling a bit, uh...well, a lot discouraged by life lately. I will have a new comic on Thursday, however. :)

Chewing Noises



This is actually a real issue. Here is a link: http://www.misophonia.com/symptoms-triggers/
Also, I didn't feel like coloring this one, mostly because my neck is killing me and it hurts to bend over in a coloring position for too long. Someone should purchase some art, so that I can get a massage :D

Fox 2 + Hellium Balloon ACEO - New Art

Hello lovelies,
It's art time again!! Just a little piece this time, and a new ACEO print as well. First, let me unveil a new fox painting- "Fox 2"- a galaxy-inspired grey fox who is just super curious (and also cute as a button!) This original painting is 5" x 7" on a canvas panel, painted in acrylics. He is up for sale in my still-new Amazon Handmade shop- please check out the listing if you have any interest in owning him! Clicking on the picture or the link below to see the listing!

In addition to "Fox 2", I have a brand new ACEO print just released! "Hellium Balloon" had been sitting in one of my sketchbooks for awhile, until I painted him on canvas for a friend's birthday gift this December. He came out so awesome, I thought I'd add him to the ACEO roster. So, here he is- a 2-sided Art Card Print, up for auction on eBay (starting at $2)- click on the picture or the link below it to see the auction, and perhaps place a bid:

SO, that's what I have this week! I'm hoping to have another new something-or-other to share next week, and in the meantime, please come back tomorrow for Thursday's comic post!

At least I've trained myself not to post anything when I am in a bad mood...which explains a great deal of my online silence.

Monster Spa - January's Original Art

Art time! :) :) :)
The latest illustration from my studio desk, and this month's large artwork, is titled "Monster Spa". I drew this up back in August, and placed it into a pile to be colored at a later date...because I *knew* it would take a bit of thought to not screw it all up. I'm glad I waited...there are SOOO many details in this piece!

"Monster Spa" is an original pen and ink illustration, 8.5" x 11" on bristol, signed, etc etc...It is currently up for auction on eBay- click on the picture or the link below the picture to see the auction!

Here are a few detail pictures as well...






Ahhh, I love it, it's like rubbing candy right into my eyeballs!! YEsssss!!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

*ahem*
Love it, but original's not in your budget? I have a smaller (ACEO size) original of "Dood" up for auction as well- he starts at $7, and was the original inspiration for "Monster Spa". Check out his auction by clicking the picture or the link below it:

Things that I have planned for "Monster Spa" in the near-ish future: posters, ACEO 2 sided prints, perhaps some other random merch...considering coloring pages or something like that. Maybe T shirts.

So, that is January's large illustration :D Thank you for looking, reading, perhaps giggling a bit, maybe clicking on a link. Do not forget to visit tomorrow evening for the weekly comic!
