UPDATE: All my Christmas cards are available at ravengirl.etsy.com.
I am now selling the Christmas Sprite cards on ImageKind.com. I got myself one to test for quality and it turned out very nice. They are available at
ravengirl.imagekind.com.
This illustration was done for my personal cards last year. It is oil on canvas board. I know... canvas board?! The horrors! At the time, I wasn't really going to put that much effort into it. And all I had for oil was these boards that I bought maybe 10 years ago. I hated them so I only use them for color comping.
Here's my step-by-step:

I guess it's time for me to start this year's card! Definitely not on canvas boards!!
It'd been a busy summer. I can't believe it's fall. And I haven't posted anything since July! Next few days, I hope to catch up with all the things I've been involved in.
Inspirelements was started by a group of artists/crafters who want to share our skills with other crafters. We do custom artwork like logos, banners, promotions and websites/blogs. We are also selling our own work. So stop by and check us out at
inspirelements.esty.com Currently I am selling on etsy my Skellies series. They are cute little living-dead critters. No they won't eat your brain, but maybe your hearts! (Little zombie humor teehee)
They are hand-painted and hand-embroidered on black tshirts (available at
