Flustras kun Arboj
Digital speed painting, 50 minutes. A nymph and her tree. This was somewhat inspired by this week’s Illustration Friday theme, ‘Whisper’. Except it seems the tree is the one doing all the talking in this illo. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44
Memportreto
Since i’m speed painting every day this month anyway, i gave myself a new self-portrait for my birthday. I usually use a self-portrait instead of a photo for my avatar or userpic on the sites which allow such a thing, but my last one is over a year old (and, by extension, a piercing short),…
Solida
Digital speed painting, 12 minutes. yet another simple portrait. This is the first time i bothered setting up video for a twelve-minute painting. Mainly because i knew when i started i’d not be taking the time for a half-hour painting today. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44
Viro
Digital speed painting, 30 minutes. yet another simple portrait. And look, i actually painted a man. For once. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44

Bukloj
Speedpainting, 12 minutes. yet another simple portrait. No video for this one, mostly because i’ve only done videos of half-hour ones. I can’t remember if i didn’t have time to do a half-hour on this day or if the half-hour one was just really atrocious. (I am maybe a few days behind on uploads.) Reproductions…

‘Pensa Du’ Speedpainting
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. yet another simple portrait. Back to two layers but trying to keep up the stuff which is handy in one layer. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44
‘Unu’ Speedpainting
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. Did this one all on one layer (usually i use two). It was a bit of an accident but for speedpainting i think it may actually work better – mainly because not being able to erase properly or lock the transparency of the working layer forced me to actually keep my mask…
‘Mola’ Speedpainting
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. yet another simple portrait. Experimenting using softer brushes than usual. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44
Fantomo Speedpainting
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. Generic ghost-woman. I actually finished this yesterday but didn’t quite have time to upload it. So today may be a twofer day as far as speedpainting uploads goes. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44
Fantine
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. Not necessarily Anne Hathaway’s Fantine, just a sad post-selling-every-damn-thing-she-has Fantine. Someday i’ll need to draw a happier one. If you watch the video, there’s a bit of messing around in the background which ended up being deleted from the final image. Nothing particularly impressive (which is why none of it made it…
Soldato
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. yet another quick portrait. I tried using more opaque brushes than usual this time, worked out good in some places and not so good in other places. We’ll see how it goes after i’ve better got the hang of it. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44
Kaŝita
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. Originally meant to be a girl hiding from zombies, but i think she turned into a zombie herself mid-painting. I picked up a copy of World War Z yesterday. I’ve got zombies on the brain. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44
Brigid
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. One of the goddess/saint Brigid for Imbolc. I’m very fond of Imbolc. It tends to come right when i’m ready for winter to be over, and it’s nice to have a little holiday to brighten things up a bit, especially one which primarily focuses on the very first signs of spring. Reproductions…
Anĝelo
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. Meant to be an angel, but there’s not enough detail in this little portrait for it to be obvious. So… this makes my first painting of my speedpainting-a-day attempt for February. One down, twenty-seven to go. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44
Speedpainting – Pensa
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. Just a thoughtful young woman. I don’t plan on doing any speedpainting today but otherwise i would say i’ve been getting a jump on the whole ‘speedpaint every day’ plan i have for February. Also! I finally figured out video recording. Mostly. It’s not a perfect recording (most notably, when i sped…
Speedpainting – Cosmetic
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. A bit of make-up experimentation. I’m somewhat planning on doing a speedpainting every day in February. Maybe by the end of the month i’ll have even figured out videos. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44
Speedpainting – Focus
Another speedpainting, 30 minutes this time. I’m in the process of a bigger painting right now, but i wanted to actually finish something. In the wide world of bizarre coincidences: I painted this yesterday morning. Yesterday afternoon i started thinking it would be a great idea to get back into ‘finishing’ an quick study every…
Speedpainting
After ‘Sadness‘ i thought i may as well try my hand at a proper speedpainting: no pencil art and strict time constraints, just an hour of digital work. Stuck to something relatively simple so i could still reach a level of detail in such a small amount of time, and this was the result. I…
Sadness
Mira the earth-spirit, rather unhappy at the wilting of one of her little plants. This could probably count as a speedpainting, depending on how broadly one defines ‘speedpainting’. I’ve never really tried it before but i got this painting to the point where the pencil art was unnecessary in under three hours, so if it’s…
Lost
On the plus side, now this lost little fae knows he’s not the only one to have taken a wrong turn. He doesn’t seem pleased about the revelation, though. I tried a new method of laying in the colour this time. I like how it looks, but no more than my other pieces, so it…
Afraid
Started off as something entirely different, but the way i drew her hips made me think of someone partially submerged in water. Considering my current fire-spirit fascination, there was a quick turn toward a fire-spirit fleeing a water-demon. Original pencil art available for $15 | Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44
Shy
When i was very young (and very shy), i kept my hair long and would frequently let it fall over my face so i could hide behind it. Unfortunately, fire-spirits can’t use the same trick. They are destined to always shine brightly, no matter how shy they may be. Original pencil art available for $15…
Burn
Started off as a long-haired Plamya, but ended up changing more than just the hairstyle. My last image of 2012, and one of my favourites. I mostly used it as an excuse to do colour experiments and discovered some tricks i’ll definitely be using more regularly. Original pencil art available for $15 | Print available…
Мира и Друг
Another portrait of Mira, this time with a little friend attached. I’ve maybe run out of patience with black-and-white illustrations and gone back to painting. I like the look of inked work, but when it comes to what i’m creating i’d rather have colour. Original pencil art available for $15 | Print available starting at…
Plamya II
Another portrait of Plamya. I experimented with hatching instead of screentones for this one – or, rather, in conjunction with screentones, as most of the hatching is set at 50% tone instead of being solid black lines. Which is completely invisible in an internet-low-res image, but would be visible in prints. I’m still undecided on…
Мира и Цветок
The title translates to ‘Mira and the Flower’. Unless you use a proper translator, in which case it will likely come out ‘Peace and the Flower’. As ludicrous as it is for some US-born US-living primarily-English-speaking artist to title works in Russian, i got their names from Russian and it strikes me as equally ludicrous…
Voda
Water spirit, to go along with the Mira the Earth-Spirit and Plamya the Fire-Spirit. I’m not certain how anatomically correct she is, as none of the models in my photo references have a body fat percentage over 25. (Clearly i need to expand my reference library.) And i’m skinny enough to still get clothing from…
Mira II
An alternative version of Mira. I think i like the original better, she looks more like a unique person instead of yet another stock model. Despite the ‘II’ in the image name, this is just the second ‘finished’ illo i’ve done of Mira. As far as less-finished illos, there’s been maybe a dozen. She’s supposed…
Plamya
Practising inking my pencil drawings. Yet another fire-creature, this one a bit more elfin than the others. Original pencil art available for $15 | Digital print available starting at $10.44
Cyborg Fashion II
Just another cyborg fashion model. Mostly pencil with some colour washes done in Photoshop Prints available starting at $13.29 | Original pencil art available for $15.00
Healing
Quick & easy health monitors. Primarily used in understaffed hospitals, as they allow even completely untrained volunteers to notice immediately when something goes wrong. Mostly pencil with some colour washes done in Photoshop Prints available starting at $13.29 | Original pencil art available for $15.00
BioComputer
Neural hotlinks and biological implants. Everything nicely wired up for the ultimate in portable computing. Mostly pencil with some colour washes done in Photoshop Prints available starting at $13.29 | Original pencil art available for $15.00
Sparkle
Taking a few days ‘off’, which translates to ‘draw a generic freckle-faced woman and then fool around with Photoshop brushes to make her sparkly instead of actually doing a proper full-blown painting’. Mostly pencil with some colour washes done in Photoshop Original pencil art available for $15.00
Warrior
This almost wasn’t a cyborg illustration at all – I was experimenting with showing different emotions through the eyes, and decided to give this woman something to be angry about. Namely, facing down the enemy who took out her original eye and necessitated its replacement. Which, of course, requires drawing in a replacement. The scar’s…
Gaze
Started off as another attempt at coming up with an illustration for the ‘Burst’ theme but… maybe not so bursty. (There’s a ‘Daria’ joke in there somewhere…) Just a bit of fancy club wear. Make the eyes really stand out. Mostly pencil with some colour washes done in Photoshop Prints available starting at $13.29 |…
Soul Seller
The rebellious goth kids of the future won’t need to settle for snakebite piercings and heavy metal t-shirts. This one’s gone for the devil look, with glowing red eyes and fiery tattoo implants. Mostly pencil with some colour washes done in Photoshop Prints available starting at $13.29 | Original pencil art available for $15.00
Bubbles
Similar, but different, ‘Projector‘-style implant. I wanted to see if I could work an Illustration Friday image into this series, this week being ‘Burst’. The best I’ve come up with so far was a fireworks projection implant, which didn’t come out too well in my sketches. So, bubbles. Suppose I could have a bubble or…
Projector
Projection implants. Get your computer screens, television shows, and anything else you can imagine broadcasted right in front of your eyes. Mostly pencil with some colour washes done in Photoshop Prints available starting at $13.29 | Original pencil art available for $15.00
Musical
An alternate to ‘Wired‘, this one has her MP3 player and headphones implanted for constant portability. Mostly pencil with some colour washes done in Photoshop Prints available starting at $13.29 | Original pencil art available for $15.00
Angel
Another bit of cyborg style. It’s not always about abstraction – sometimes the implants are used to build up such pretties as haloes. Mostly pencil with some colour washes done in Photoshop Prints available starting at $13.29 | Original pencil art available for $15.00
Cyborg Fashion
A cyborg fashion model. Vertical stripes are very in this season. Mostly pencil with some colour washes done in Photoshop Prints available starting at $13.29 | Original pencil art available for $15.00
Technodruid
Pagans can totally be cyborgs, too. It took about ten minutes of working on this image before it turned into an experiment to see how many Awen or Awen-like symbols I could squeeze in and still have it look good. Mostly pencil with some colour washes done in Photoshop Prints available starting at $13.29 |…
It’s Complicated
For when wearing your heart on your sleeve isn’t obvious enough: neuroscanners figure out the initials of your love and match them with your own on the chest implant.

Messy Eater

Sea Medusa
Missing out on the standard snakes here, but she’s still got some interesting hair. Click here to buy prints through Imagekind or visit Etsy to buy the original pencil art.
Broken
An old android, no longer functioning as she should. As per usual, prints are available from Imagekind, but now I also have an Etsy shop. And by ‘I have an Etsy shop’ I mean I renamed my abandoned jewellery shop to be a little broader and put this one single solitary pencil drawing in it….
Analysing
A more calculative cyborg Prints available through Imagekind
