Amy's sketchpad

Artyewok will be around for archives, but I have a blog on my site

Ewok + Bordok

2007-03-02T03:05:05Z

For some reason I was inspired to draw an ewok with a bordok :)

Arts and arts

2007-02-19T06:26:04Z

Here's a recap of some stuff I've done this week for myself, mostly, and something I forgot to post with the last batch of sketches. I have some I haven't scanned yet:

Art dump!

2007-02-02T02:43:28Z

I went and scanned some art. The art ranges from April 06 to now, but most of it is less than a couple of months old.

D'aw! Puppy! Drawn from life. Sleeping puppy at Berbalang's abode. All the scribbles on this yellow paper are from a little sketchbook he gave me and I take it pretty much everywhere now :D

Star Wars scribbles:
Amaran Jedi vs Bear Thing:

Bear thing sith plus amaran heads:

Based on an action figure I regret not buying. :(

Disgustingly cute ithorians.

Amara Fox images (Because I don't draw her nerely enough. There are more than these, but I didn't scan them all)
My cow in Harvest Moon is sad :(

Despite this, I still want to be a pilot (Drawn after having circled North bay for an hour waiting for a storm to go away. AND it's an accurate representation of me on my descent into Calgary on the way back. Blort!)

WoW Art

This is the most recent piece here. Drawn in the Toronto airport on a 4 hour layover

Gorneesh... my ever so sexy Draenei shaman

I always roll ones D:

Studies for a commission (HAY KINGFOX). Yes, the undead guy is trying to /slash wrists.

Generic stuff:
Splinter

Dragonthing

Ferry life art:

Work related illustrations!

2006-12-01T21:22:13Z

For Shadowfax and a local coffee house. I love working loose like this. The art is actually reproduced really, really, really small. Smaller than the screen is showing them :D

Baba Budan!

But I designed the winemasters to be printed larger, too. We made some posters.

A couple of personal sketch cards

2006-10-27T22:16:11Z

Not behind cuts because they are little!

First, li-on Jinn (Name coined by otis Frampton) for a fan in Hawaii :D

Second: The Joker

I'm having fun :D

Balrog and Gandalf for sale :D

2006-10-26T00:50:06Z

Gandallf+ Balrog are now on Ebay! (Apologies to people here and on my main journal, I'm Xposting this)

A ton o' art

2006-10-12T01:45:21Z

Here is some art. Sketches and scribbles. Some are recent, some have been kicking around for a while. There's a ton of wow fanart behind the cut. I scribbled these between sketch cards to draw anything but LOTR.

This is my main, Sakuranoki, with her pig - Sunshine

This is her raiding pet, Howly.

My main hordie - Grunkk the warrior (Currently level 47)

My Pvp Hordeling, Grunkette (On drak'thul. I play her thursday evenings)

Jenelottie, my gnome mage.

Some boulderfist tauren hunter i haven't played in over a year but he's fun to draw

A random tauren warrior

I have more art than this. I'll probably do another post tomorrow :D. Working on some stuff this evening, too.

Dragon*con art

2006-08-22T00:55:11Z

I finished the pieces for Dragon*con, hooray.

These are the new pieces to go in the art show. I did a colour version of obiwan/boga, but I totally forgot to scan it. Argh.

I might have to put a note on the back ofit requesting a scan from the buyer, if it sells.

And the final of this one:

For those of you who are wondering, the mousedragons are referenced from a number of different Australian mouse species including the Spinifex and Fawn Hopping mouses (mouses.. hee!), Desert Mouse and Western mouse (For the red colour)

Ahh, mice.

I also have these available for sale as stickers or a limited number of magnets:

Works in progress

2006-07-28T03:37:58Z

These are 2 of 3 or 4 new pieces I'm doing for dragoncon (I'm selling some older pieces, I need to find barnabus this weekend).

The other 2 pieces are 'Harold vs dingleball' (Which I *WILL* be doing) and 'Blarg the sneaky rogue' (Which may get done, depending on how my freelance goes)

I need to go in with a pencil crayonin some spots that need to be punched up, but I'm continuing to layer the watercolours. It's very therapeutic

I'm thinking of doing these guys with cat patterns, but in dragon colours. not sure yet.

The one in the middle is weaving a spell, and this piece will be done in watercolour.

I might make bookmarks or stickers out of the muscid-draconis. The top and bottom mice can be easily pulled from the piece, great for stickers :D

3 pieces

2006-06-28T14:58:57Z

I'm not going to cut these, because they're all smallish. Lemme know if they break you, because I'll do some cutting (But not the emo kind)

Two personal pieces. You can take the girl out of WoW, but you can't take the WoW out of the girl. I'm doing a couple of tutorials for hunters in the 50-60 pre endgame area. I'm sure I'll get some know it alls telling me i know nothing :D

The first, which isn't going to change too much:
Chain trapping and you

The second: Which needs to be slightly redrawn because the composition is wacky. I'll probably do it digitally
hey! Where did the baroness come from? (or sometimes you should put your pet away)

This means nothing to anyone who doesn't play the game, the illustrations are both based in strathlome, so I'm going to be doing some screencaps for background reference.

I also did these two sketch cards. Batman and Scarecrow :D

Dragons and dragons and... er dragons, oh my

2006-06-27T15:24:23Z

I've been sketching up a storm in between recolourings, I have a little to do list I'm going to start to tackle tonight (It's VERY hot. Very very very very hot. This isn't helping my productivity. I need many fans. Many more fans. I'm moving the one I have to blow on my face tonight so I can actually get something done).

For now, some scribbles for things I'm planning to polish up for dragoncon.

D'aww! I'm going to give him a friend in the final piece.

Wallaby Dragon.

I've also been cleaning up and colouring LOTR sketch cards, here are a couple of favourites:

Enjoy! :D

I arted

2006-06-25T01:49:47Z

This guy was originally drawn, god, in 1998. I was inspired to draw him again because I found the art behind the cut:

I think the old one has more character, but I'm having fun. i want to do some tighter, slightly more anatomically correct versions of this Roo hero.

I think going back and drawing some of my old characters will get me back into more arting!

Sam for sale

2006-06-05T03:30:14Z

Hey all! I coloured in this card today, I have a little art corner set up in my hotel room. Go me! :D

He's up on ebay for anyone who is interested :) I only have one more card after this one.

Balrog for sale!

2006-03-07T00:42:35Z

Hay guys!

This sexy beast is available for bidding on Ebay :D I know many people were interested in him, so here we go.

:)

Happy bidding! (x-posted to main journal)

2006-03-02T00:12:57Z

That is me pulling the crutch of being able to erase away.

This is a Gila Monster skull referenced from boneclones.com. Drawn with a ballpointpen in sketch book.

And this is a balrog, which I will hopefully have on my person and on ebay sometime within the next week. Marker and ink over an extremely loose pencil sketch.

I'm working on my LOTR sketch card gallery, that'll be up by the end of the week :)

I've done 3 and a half custom sketch cards + gila monster + 5 pages of kindergarten scribbles + various studies. I think my art slump is starting to wear off. :D

Warm up sketches

2006-01-16T17:20:39Z

I needed to warm up and get some bad art out of my system before tackling good, art, so here are some World of Warcraft related sketchies.

(PS! I am working on stomrtroopa and ackbar today. And I have some lovely paper for my TMNT page that doesn't bleed when i use real ink.)

jenelottie and Grunkk (Yes, I signed this 05, oops)

Nycthel vs Dragon
I think the Perditions Blade got to his head. Howly and Saku watch in horror.

'Cider'helm. I made a funny. And a giggling Sakuranoki

Going to do some more ambitious poses and stuff another day, just needed to get this stuff out of my system :D

I bring you, sketch dump.

2006-01-02T03:10:59Z

Here are a few of the many sketches I scribbled over my vacation.

I have many, many more, but they are either too scribbly or part of freelance work (like 506 odd LOTR sketch cards).

I'll start you off with a rare Amara. Haven't drawn her in AGES.

The artist as a Hobbit

Amara Sledding (The little fox is my niece, who loves foxes, so I had to draw her as one. The one in the top left corner is what i did at the bottom of one of the hills)

Amara Running

Samwise Gamgee

Gollum

Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have some tight pencils of a Stormtrooper and Ackbar :D

*edit*

I forgot a picture!

Approved Lord of the Rings cards ahoy!

2005-12-19T20:15:08Z

OK,

More of my cards have been approved and I'm uploading them via very slow dialup right now.

Here are all of the cards which have been approved so far. I have 20 cards to go, so I'm going to get cracking.

I need to update my web page the olde fashioned way, too, I think I'll save that for later. If I don't feel like FTPing, I am updating my deviant art account, so keep a watch on that :)

Prepare to die of Cute

2005-11-17T22:38:38Z

Non accurate representations of my hunter pets on WoW. :D

I love Swoopy.

Long time no art

2005-11-09T22:43:19Z

Here, have a sketch dump :D

These are about all I'm able to muster lately, but at least I'm still doodling, right? :)

Here you go. DUmp of sketches!
Small ones outside of cuts, then a couple under a cut :)

Rancor playing cards with the rancor keeper.

Dragon Whelp

Dragon kitties

Boga, Ichabod (The cat) and grievous

General doodles.

Aaaarts

2005-10-08T14:06:07Z

OK Boys and gals, I've been on a turtle kick lately (For good reason, I'll keep you guys posted) so here are some TMNT drawings!

I was also going to clean this piece up, I've lost the original. It's around here SOMEWHERE.

~~~~~~~

So, I'm also taking con badge commissions if anyone wants some. This idea came from the Eryshe badge I did, and also Amara Jedi Badge:

Step 1: Choose a style
* Marker (like Eryshe or CarvedinShadows) - $15
* Illustrator - Like AmaraJedi or Chiratani - $30 (And can be made into a big print)

Step 2: Choose your character
* Give me your character name and any reference you might have.

Step 3: Choose a Prop
* Keep it clean. It can be anything, really. Giant paintbrush, naked mole rat, porcupine-on-a-stick, whatever. If you ask for a lightsaber, let me know if you want your character in any type of Star Wars gear.

Step 4: Comment or send me an email and I shall do the badge for ye!

:D

WoW Sketches

2005-09-25T01:06:53Z

I'd like to do some more digital sketches once i get my new computer up and running. I'm working on a half stripped down Pentium 3 at the moment so I don't have a lot of new stuff to show.

Here are some WoW sketches I did! One was drawn yesterday and the other this morning. I'm trying to do a sketchaday thing. I'll try to start that up in October :D

I also have a bunch of Curse of Cute sketch books available for sale. For a minimum of $6 you get a sketch book shipped to your door with a wee little scribble on the back cover. The front cover looks like this:

I also have the folowing Sketch Cards still for sale:

Prices include shipping

$12 each:

$9 each:

- Stormtrooper is Soooold!

$7 each:

I also do custom sketch cards. The prices have gone up, but it means some more detail and slicker colouring/shading for you. $10 for pencil, $15 for ink and $20 for colour marker.

:D

Last batch of sketch cards.

2005-08-24T22:43:49Z

I haven't chopped them into individual cards. Enjoy!

I didn't do a troll or a human for the WoW set :( So sad. I might do a greyscale troll at the con.

And with that, I'm going to do some laundry, have a bath and fix and print my signs! I should be ready by about 9ish to work ont hat one special card :D

I have to share this, Rady Martinez drew this for me as a trade. I'm doing Randy's card when I get back :D

OMG! More cards!

2005-08-23T02:28:52Z

Another round of cards that will be available at the con. As I am running out of time and got overzealous with my penciling, there might be some inked only cards. Who knows? I'm not bringing my coloured markers with me, just the greyscale ones :) I realize a lot of these aren't super hot charactersm so if they don't sell at the con I'll have some up for grabs or trade after. I'm just drawing what my muse wants me to for these.

I always think Ackbar would have been better running around and flailing, by the way. It's a trap! Aaaiee!

And thus concludes our art for the day. I seem to have a fixation with yellow eyes for some reason.
