Sleep

Pan meets Nature in the Spring as a child, and they become friends and fall in love in Summer. By Autumn Nature starts to become old, and in Winter, she dies. Pan stays with her, sleeping at her side, and dies with her - when Spring returns they are reborn and meet and fall in love over again. No matter how many times they forget one another, his sacrifice at her side in Winter means that they will always meet again.

I got told this story when I was young, and thought it would be something to paint over the Christmas season. Pan was the trees and forest, while Nature was the sky and moon. It's nearly Spring now so I suppose it's still relevant.

Watercolour and Ink painting.

Llama

I figured that if centaurs did exist in some world or another, then other hoofed people would as well. As part of a fun brief I made for myself, nicknamed project 'Cloot' I'm drawing different centaur characters based on other animals people may disregard as 'ugly' for the centaur role. But lets face it. Hoofed animals are spectacular in all of their differing qualities - if they spit, frolic or roll in mud, what more characteristics could you hope to play with?
This is Ferdinand, a llama centaur. I know he's not quite right for a llama - he could be pudgier, this is more of an underweight llama to be fair. I drew him in a lecture, after the idea coming from my sketch of 'Puck'. Puck isn't really any sort of creature, just a mash of donkey, cow and goat. But I still love his ears <3 Look out for more Cloot characters!

Dale and Puck

WIPS of work from 'Tailbone' and also a fun side centaur project. Meet Puck - a goatling, cow like centaur. The other chap is Dale from my short story available on wattpad - and he is picking on poor Miles! I wanted to try and capture events from the novel.

Axolotl plushie

A plushie I made for a friend - his pet axolotl, named Asparagus. Cute and fun thing to make :)

Gold [revised painting]

Gold so far. I may revisit the shading on him and the lighting on the chains, though for now, I was pleased with progression. I have been advised to use less and broader strokes next time, so I will take that into account. I am also currently writing the Tailbone prequel, wherein this character features. Please visit Tailbone on Wattpad - http://www.wattpad.com/story/2095923-tailbone to leave any reviews or critique. It will soon be heading to kindle, too!

With Love

Commission of my dog and her best friend. Purdy and Lua - a great dane and a boxer in their younger years. Merry Christmas!

A Father's Love

Archer lost his arm saving Elao, his infant daughter, from his enemies. He had to step down from leadership as a result of his new found disability, but he'd do it again. Battle scars are nothing to a father's love. Also! I have put up one of my short stories on Wattpad, online publishing. It was a big deal for me...I have so many stories and this is the first I have had the guts to post, because it was short and complete. So if anyone would spare ten minutes to have a read, perhaps with a cup of tea, and send me feedback it would mean so much. The cover is temporary, I will do a new one soon! http://www.wattpad.com/story/2095923-tailbone
