My Little Zombie Pony

Inspired by the amazing work of Cedric Laquieze, I bring to you "My Little Zombie Pony". She does not have a name, but maybe something with orchid would be appropriate, given her "cutie mark". Here she frolics through the meadows, in front of the castle, whilst observed by a started owl.

She measures 6x4 inches and was part of a Secret Halloween gift headed to Portland, Oregon.

Wedding of the Dead

My second instalment in the Circle Journal swap - which now means that I have no more to do until next year!! This was - like the first one - for someone who likes dark, creepy etc scenes. As you know, I am not highly skilled at dark nor creepy. Conveniently, she also suggested I might like to do something Tim Burton-esque and listed in her profile that she was quite partial to Catrinas.

Not knowing what Catrinas were, I did a little google search and decided that yes - that is what I would do.

Initially I intended to do a Graveyard picnic, but alas, that did not do so well - Catrinas look wrong sitting down, so then I did a little bit of a search for "goth brides" and found some lovely cake toppers. Which I pretty much just copied. But the cat, horse, squirrel and bird are almost original. And the graveyard is our local Barbadoes cemetary - except the gravestones are standing up. I had some pictures of it that I'd taken for the "cemetary photo swap".

This was fun, and kept me up until after midnight on 31st October - All Hallow's Eve. I was contemplating starting on my NaNoWriMi novel after midnight, but it was hard enough to colour, let alone to write.

Lost in the Woods

This is the first large picture I've made in some time. It measures 16 x 8 inches and is in two parts, to fit inside a circle journal. The theme was "creepy and dark". Since creepy and dark isn't really my style, I did my best.

I like the spider. Although he is kinda cute.

Alas, my next circle journal partnership also requires me to draw something else "Creepy and dark" but it has been suggested that I do something Tim Burton-esque. So, I'm thinking... a graveyard picnic with Catrinas.

Also, in other news - part one of "Lemurs: a Saga" is finally complete. And I am now taking a break. Part two will begin in November, with NaNoWriMo.
