Some people out there have express doubts that my Tinkerbell folio will be done.  It has been a long time I admit.  I only get to draw it in my evening and even then, not every evening.  Even though I’ve been at this for a while, there has never been a time where I wanted to stop drawing it.  I’m almost done all the line work and I can move on to the painting.  I decided to do all the line work first that way I get constant experience drawing the characters.  Painting them one after another should keep my colours consistent too.  I hope others are still excited for this, I know I am. ^_^

It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned the Tinkerbell folio I’ve been working on so I’ve decided to tease you all a bit.  This here is a small showing of what’s been done and what’s left to be done.  I’ve finished the line work for the first 10 images, but have yet to paint them.  I decided that it would be better to do all the clean lines first so I can get better at drawing her faster.  I have to say that it’s working fantastically!  I absolutely love the progress that’s being made and I’m super happy with the pictures.

The next segment will feature Tink and one of her fairy friends from the CG movies.  Once those are done I’ll get on painting them.  I can’t say when this will all be done.  I have a time in my head, but I don’t want to announce anything only to miss a deadline or rush the final product.  I can’t wait to see it when it’s done though, it should be awesome! ^_^

Congrats!  You’ve found the end of the commission contest, but did you get all the answers right? ^_^

Thought I’d post up a bit of a tease pic from the Tinkerbell folio I’m doing up.  This pic is actually done, but I like the rough and thought I’d put a bit of it up to share (no peeking though… sorry ^_^).  If people are wondering about why her hair isn’t in her typical bun, it’s because in the Tinkerbell CG movie she arrives in Pixie Hollow wearing a milk seed dress and her hair is down like this… and she looks super cute.  I thought it might be cool to do a pic of her like that.  Any thoughts?

So I’m announcing this here and now so that it might kick me in the ass to work on it more.  I’m putting together an art portfolio of Tink and her fairy friends getting messy, messy messy.  It’s been on my mind for quite some time now and I figure that if I say something public about it I just get around to working on it more.  This is actually one of many ideas that I have for art folios.  This one would just be a nice collection of art but others are comics.

• Fairy Facials (in production)
• Chipmunks and Chipettes (comic)
• Ping and Pong (comic)
• City Mouse and Country Mouse (comic)

Not sure when I’ll get around to all of these but I guess it’s good to have ideas just kicking around.  I’ll probably tease more as things get done.  Enjoy. ^_^
