We could use a little boost. I’m also running a little promotion that if we reach 25 “Likes” by June 15th, I will randomly select someone to be a model for Zombie Silhouettes. Cheers! SL Sullivan
New Canvas
YasminDesignerHey guys! Its day 2 of trying to do a post a day for the next year! And last night while i was bored out of my tree, i decided to do a canvas on my school project of fashion illustration and i am quite proud of it! Its a copy of the ELLE cover magazine starring one of my idols of fashion and in the movie industry, Dakota Fanning. Here is an image of the magazine which influenced me: Here are the images that i did. I used pencil to draw the image and tried to make it realistic, because right now i am practising on drawing people, which is my weak point. And the ELLE sign i did using acrylic paint in blue and red to get a different effect. Obviously the image isn’t finished yet. I still need to draw more and the hands are a bit difficult to get right in proportion to the rest of the body, but soon it will be finished and i will upload images on the finished product!

Cave Story Comic #1
TinyNinjaHere starts a long series of badly but lovingly drawn/Photoshopped black and white fan comic based on the best game to ever exist. If these do well I’ll set up a secondary blog for them. (Hey look- I have!) I recently re-hooked myself on Cave Story, and can’t wait for the remastered Cave Story + on 3DS. Please comment as as this is a fresh series, anything could happen!
Martuni’s the Watercolor
azurecricketI’ve been taking photos of bars for a while now and have planned to do something with them. This watercolor is the first in a series of bars that I’m working on. Martuni’s is a piano bar that I frequent in San Francisco. Something about lit up bottles and martini images has always appealed to me. I’m new to watercolors and doing something like this 22″ x 30″ was ambitious. Basically I bought a book on watercolor and one of the exercises was: draw it out before you paint it in outlines. Prior to this I just started painting and winged it. I’m learning and this is what I do… also I’m not sure this is done. I have to go over it more carefully but wanted to post it anyway.

Utter Boredom
Little Miss MuffetWarning: Unspoken FAILS ahead! Soo…. Thought I’d drop by and run the first 593 words of my novel to see how it works. I wrote all of this very quickly and with no concern for grammar or those other pesky rules of the english language, so just say so if you spot a mixed up sentence or two. Hope you like it! Chapter 1…. Or should this be the prologue? hm… “ADRIAN!! Turn around!” Sarah screamed from behind me. We were standing in line to get on the next ride, and she wouldn’t stop bugging me. “WHAT??” I yell back at her without bothering to turn around. “Turn around and look!” She squealed. “You’ll love this!” “Doubt it.” “Just LOOK.” “No.” “Fine.” I relaxed for a moment, thinking she had given up. But then with a jolt i realized something. Sarah Calamedy never gives up. I’m not quite mentally prepared when she grabs my head and yanks it around, resulti
