Art photos and art trades

As mentioned in a previous post, in May I did an art trade with the talented Lara Dann. She mailed me her painting a month ago, but I could only see it - and took a photo of this marvelous acrylics on wood piece - few days ago when I come back hometown for a few days.
And, here it is! Thank you so much, Lara!

And, probably you remember of the illustration I did for the art trade. It was 'Sea Maiden'. After much search I could also find a wonderful frame to use - actually the original size of this image is not the standard one so, it wasn't easy to find it! And well, when I was framing the image I was so clumsy to damage it a little bit...well, that is all about me, I mean, I'm all thumbs sometimes!

I couldn't ship the old illustration so I finally decided to do another, new one. Same theme and feeling, as you can see ... just a little bit different. So, now the question is, which one do you prefer? Anyway, I mailed Lara the second one!

Liquid Eyes - in progress

Another illustration in progress. This is for 'Lovely Ladies' art-book by Le Style Moderne ^_^

The Wooden Doll's Tale - Design Competition

I can finally show you the illustration I did just few days ago for Mark Ryden Design Competition held by Laminate Media.
Inspiration image was Puella Animo Aureo, by Mark Ryden of course.

Voting has started just yesterday so, you can now choose your favourite design - not only mine, there're some very amazing entries you can see on Laminate main page! Anyway, if you would like to vote for me, here the direct link!

Thank you and enjoy!

A Pin-Up drawing

I'm not too much a fan of Pin-Up genre but, since I have been invited to participate in a new art-book - and the main theme is obviously, Pin-Ups! - I tried to sketch something. Honestly, if I can make a choice, I prefer doing illustrations that tell a story but well ... below my first sketch!

It's strongly based on 'Burlesque', an illustration I did in 2005. I like it, I probably could suggest to use this one for the book, instead of doing something new ^_^
What's your opinion about?

WIPs....

I'm working on a lot of new illustrations, below some WIPs from a couple of the latest ones, but a lot of new stuff are to come ^_^

Midsummer Night - in progress

HP fanart and a new fairy tale princess!

Ok, it's time to update the blog and post some new art! Let's start with my latest illustration - done for fun, in my spare time. It's a new fairytale princess even though I have not found a name for her or a suitable fairytale yet...anyway, here she is!

Oriental Splendor - markers, pastels and gouache. I used a lot of metallic gold gouache for her jewelry, unfortunately my scanner hates anything shining! I should take a photo of this piece! It looks much more better 'in real life'!

I posted this few days ago, it was my last deviation before I put my dA gallery on hiatus! And well, the first fan-art and, more important, the first HP fan-art I've ever done and posted on deviantArt! I can't wait for the movie!

Harry Potter Fanart - markers, colored pencils, gouache.
