...and back again.

So, here is the finished Bag End doors, now more then one, the scene of Bag End and the party tree that I made for a friend for valentines day because it makes me forever sad to read the posts she writes every year about bad things happening to her on the 14th.

Not this year, baby! Below is a screen shot of her reaction. ^_^ I think it also might have been my own best valentines day because of this. Nothing is better then getting to surprise a good friend and being rewarded with their utter happiness at the gift, 😸

That silver and black piece that is mixed in with the Bag End things is the ring that Thorin Oakenshield has in the movie. I need to fix the back up and then clean coat that and it'll be done.

I want to make things that represent Bifur and Bofur, but aside from Bofur's hat I'm not sure what to do. Ideas?

More clay bits

Here are some of the things I'm making for acen this may. The knives are for that. The other circle bits are the door to bag end. I'm going to see if any one shows any interest to them on etsy.

There are some secret things mixed in in the photo where all the knives are silvered, so I can't say what they are just yet. I need to have at least 2 of the things in these photos done by Monday. X.x they need to be mailed Tuesday!! I will not have them be late, damn it!

Dis

So I tried my hand at drawing a female dwarf from middle earth...the beard gets me stone walled.

Her name is Dis, and Dis is the only female dwarf ever named in all of the things Tolkien ever wrote. She is the sister of Thorin Oakenshield, and the mother of Fili and Kili.

I'm not sure why they say at the end of the book that the line of Durin was ended, because Dis is also from that line and she goes and remarries Andy has more children and shouldn't that mean that the line of Durin endured?

Of knives and doors

So, I've made the door to Bag End and a disk with a knife on it. I'm planning on putting bag end up on etsy, even made a mold of it. But it's a pain to get out with out messing up the door knob. =/

The knife-y one is for Acen this year. I'm making one for each of the people I'm meeting up with and 2 extra for people who can't go. The knife is for the Knife Wielding Fangirls, KWF, that a friend pulled me into some 10 years ago now. I'm the mid-Atlantic branch apparently. O.o;;

I hope my Acen friends will like the knives they get and I hope the door is well received in etsy, and by we'll received I mean I hope someone looks at it. =/ I really don't put popular things up on that site.

Not quite what i'd intended

I'd meant for it to be a fox, but either didn't cut enough wire, or made the over all body too long so the muzzle i'd wanted was sacrificed so that i wouldn't have to cut another, smaller, piece of wire to finish it.  I like how it looks in the end.  =)

Plotting

So my mother quite liked the tree and star I did for our tree and is now having me do trees for her siblings. I got the wire for them today, along with some other wire to see what else I can shape. ^_^

Present tags

The gifts I got of my nieces are much to big for any box or bag that exist in our house. I wasn't about to spend forever in some store trying to find something big enough either.

Thus I made these two tags. My nieces love flowers and feathers. The two things I have always failed at for drawing. Mercifully I don't think I did too bad on these.

They are now tied to the huge plus hues via ribbon around their necks.

I'm hoping to be the awesome aunt tomorrow.

Holiday things

The two wire ones are obvious. The tree and the star. The bowl thing has two foxes on it in my tricky kitty style. I also ended up putting the initials of it intended recipient on it in the end too.

Merry Xmas

Since I’m going to be rather late with sending out my Xmas cards this year, I decided to post my card art here and at blogger.

Since rise of the guardians has taken over my mind I decided to have Jack go after one of my tricky kitties.

The shield on the kitties rear is in reference to captain America. Tony refers to him as a “Capcicle” at some point in the Avengers.

So jack turned my kitty in to a “catcicle”.

Demon ...healer?

My friends D&D character. She asked me to draw her and this is what I came up with. She's a Tiefling Cleric…so a fire demon thing that uses holy magic. She's the healer. oh, the irony, because in the end she'll really just want to watch the world burn…and her group mates too.

suckers. XD

It's a pose from from an x-men comic, and while I've mimic'd the pose before I think this time was the first that I hadn't traced it in one way or another.  which is why that bent leg is driving me insane with how BAD it looks.  -.- but 6 or 7 erasures and redo's of it and that is the best it got. -.-; I like the drawing overall, but that leg...

Because no one looks here

But I still want to post this somewhere. Even if the star is crooked.

1 of 2

So it's been 2 months and I haven't tossed anything up here in a while. Oops...

Here, have a star:

Tricky kitty heads

So, I caved and finally got a tumblr account ( http://padfutnprongs.tumblr.com ).  I've seen it places before that you can change out the dashboard icons for something else so I thought I'd give it a try.

...Well, it can not be done in Safari.   So there was a bit of grumbling as I downloaded firefox and all the things tumblr said I would need to do this and...the code the user posted on their blog was wrong.  I fail so utterly at coding that I basically banged my head on the desk and realized this was a lost cause.

I have tossed out the icon bar to my tumblr and my DA ( http://sarabi.deviantart.com ) pages.  If I can't use them, maybe someone else would like it enough to use it.  =/  Good luck to you, random internet user!

Druids

This is supposed to be my main character form world of Warcraft, harvist. My first time making it past a pencil sketch for any wow doodle ever. I'm quite pleased with this turned out actually. Well...minus the gimpy looking back hoof, but we won't talk about that.

Sorry it's not a progression like the last 2, but I got into a flow and I just couldn't stop. :D

Going Down

My Sailor Atlas. I've had her forever.

She used to get up to more antics, but I'm just not as big into the sailor moon fandom as I once was. Atlas is one of Saturn's many many moons. Most moons of any of the planets.

 I wish I could find the art I did for her in the late 90's (to show just how much of a train wreck my drawing used to be XD;; )

I think I figured out why I'm not really happy with how her shoulder looks. The anatomy is broken. I'll have to more a mirror closer to were I sit while I draw to work on that.

Drawn with a blue pencil, then inked over in blue too. I've done blue lines for her once before. Then I used prismacolor premier pencils to color her in.

I wish I was a writer so that I could get some of her adventures out of my head, but sadly I have permanent writers block when ever I try.

These are all photo's taken with my iPhone while I was coloring her.  The reason why it looks like there is 2 of everything is because I took one of the unblended colors (seen most easily with the black sections) and then again after I'd blended the colors out.
