new ACEO Femme Collection: The Morrigan, and a shirt

waiting for the next deathly feast

The Morrigan has always been one of my favorite deities in mythology, mostly because she is associated to battle, strife, and fertility (a curious combo!). she and her sisters, The Badb and Macha are the epitome of goth! i loved her role in The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel Series by Michael Scott, and miss her presence. here are two of my interpretations of her.

the ACEO is available in my etsy shop, but the shirt is mine. :)

addition to ACEO femme collection

i was able to paint last weekend, and here are my updates for the femme collection



La Pucelle finally has color!

i'll be posting these on my etsy shop this week, so feel free to visit :)

ACEO femme collection update

another update on my femme collection. i've finally rendered Nimue. i have been really enamoured by her love affair with Merlin. seems like Merlin, too, has a weakness no matter how much we put him on a pedestal. Yoshitaka Amano's book, Fairies, all the more piqued my interest in the lovers through a small passage from the book.

Nimue, Merlin's paramour

 also added to the collection is a Valkyrie, inspired by none other than Michael Scott's depiction of the warrior maidens.

i'm really enjoying drawing with pen&ink now, unlike before. both are available in my etsy shop along with my other artworks. 

ACEO femme collection updates

i have always been fascinated by women in history and myths (myths especially), may they be antagonists or heroines. thus, the femme collection was created. here are some updates from last weekend.





Morgan le Faye

Snow White

Nimue, Merlin's paramour

La Pucelle, Jeanne d' Arc

the pen&ink drawing was unintentional, but i was inspired by an article i read recently, about a comic book by Paolo Fabregas entitled the Filipino Heroes League (which shall be part of my "to-buy" list).

the rendered piece looks very different from the pencil drawings. i still have to apply color to Nimue and La Pucelle, but Snow White and Morgan le Faye are already available at my esty shop.

ACEO femme collection

 been working on these over the past two weekends. i'm vying for a femme collection, with characters from myths, fantasy, fairytales, and the like. these are done on Berkeley strathmore paper using pencil and classic Prang watercolors. i had to buy a new fine brush as my old one's hairs have gone all bushy and i can't quite get them in order (any tips for this?).

done!

these will be available in my etsy shop as ACEOs. so feel free to visit anytime!
