Invasion!

It's been busy couple of months, and I don't see it slowing down. It's a good thing - keeps me on my toes (I'm short so I'm always on my toes...). Quick little update before getting back to work. This piece is hanging at Howley's with it's sister-painting, Skyspa. More fun with kit-bashing and gold leaf.

(UPDATE: Prints available!)

Wow! I am speachless! Just beautiful.. love this! And the fact that it is a girl-hero! I talked about that on one of my old post, on how girls dont have a lot of super-hero-girl. One more because of you! Yeah!! hehehe

I agree with Isabelle, I love the hero-girl aspect of it. It's something I'm moving towards in some of my own work, as well.

I instantly fell in love with your work the second I saw it on Little Lina's blog. I love, love, LOVE it. Keep it up, I want to see more. Speaking of, do you have an online portfolio I can check out? Please let me know! Thank you.

Thank you all for the kind compliments! Isabelle & Rebekah, I love strong women characters. And drawing powerful girls is so much more interesting. Rebekah, I'm currently working on my main portfolio site. The problem is I rather be painting - hehe :) Hopefully it'll be done by end of year.
