Every pirate needs a trusty....octopus?

So Im happy with how this turned out except one thing...I dislike her hair color..not really sure why but it just doesn't suit her.
Don't think Im going to change it though because she has already been uploaded and finished. Oh well.

At some time today I have to create a design for the front of a 'lingerie shower' card my sister is making for her friend. I will post it up here sometime today after I finish it.

Sorry about how short this post is but I have lots and lots to do today.

Xoxoxoxo

Oh my Oh my......

Wow it has been a while since I have updated this thing. :( I really am sorry about that.

Lots and lots have been going on since my last post but one HUGE thing is that my birthday was yesterday! Guess who can buy lotto tickets!!! Hahaha. The day kinda blew but all my lovely friends over at Deviatart were so kinda and made me lots of cute things. I will have a blog recognizing those people. :)

On to other things. I have deiced to continue with the contest! The contest will end on July 17th at 12:00 Am. Hope lots more people enter, I only have 2 enterys! I will post more about that in my next journal on DA.

Oh also Im out for summer! Really excited about that! I will have lots and lots of time to work on my art now. All I have to do is find more inspiration. Been lackin for the past few weeks. Oh well Ill find something to do.

New art:






Oh and here is a walk through I forgot to upload....



Hope everyone has a Marvelous Monday!

Bunny lovin.

Hello Hello darlings.

I know it has been forever since I updated this thing. Sorry. :)

First off here is my latest piece:


I thought it would be fun to do something a little different. I wanted her to be like a Victorian Lolita if one where to ever exist. I'm really happy with the way it turned out and I just love the bunny head, it really makes the drawing for me.

Alright moving on. I have decided I am going to sell art. I'm going to sell prints and commissions. So I am going to start up an Esty store. I will hopefully have it up by the end of this month but I can't make any promises.

Oh and I finished two Art trades..




I have one more to do and then I am done with pending Art trades.

PS!!!!
I tired to post everyone Deviant art but the links just wont show, when I post it on DA I will do so!

Booga Boo!

Alright so this is basicly a random post about stuff that is going on in my personal life...

First of all here is a random picture of me and Adella Dot.
>
Wooooooh random pictures!

Any-whooo tomorrow is my fathers birthday so we decided to do something fun. We went to Kennasaw (sp) for one of there historical festivals and went into some sort of museum. It was really neat and educational. I wish I could have gotten a picture of the old medical equipment. It was wicked!
So I took a few pictures but I don't really think you wanna see all of them but they did make me take a picture with each of them (my parents). Here they are...



Oh-Oh and by the end of the day I got a Hanni Tattoo. It is my sign which I think I might get it tattooed on me but I want to make it my own.

Anyways. Today is also the last day of the zombie contest. This contest was slow going but I have already picked the winners (unless so one wows me before midnight) I will post the results sometime tomorrow.

Just a few things are coming up in the next month I might talk about.

First off Prom is May 1st. Really excited. It will be my first prom. My dress is really cute and now all I have to do is decide what im doing to my hair.

Next is my birthday on June 6th. I will be 18 this year! Im really excited! I think Im going to go to little five points and spend some time down there. I can't wait!

Well last but not least I will be posting the next contest info stuff up later. Might be tonight might be next week who knows...but it will happen so look for it!

Black and White TV and Movies....

Well after I drew Lily the other day I got a lot of comments about not knowing who she is or that she looks a lot like Morticia Addams.

This is the drawing....


Here is Lily Munster...

She is the mom from The Munsters an old black and white Tv show from the 60's.

Now here is Morticia...

She is the mom from the Addams family which started in 1938 as a comic later the be adapted into a black and white Tv show in the 60's also.

Both came out in 1964. So I understand why people would confuse Lily with Morticia but the looks are very different to me.

Anywho I will be doing a few more old black and white TV gals. I have already finished a sketch of Morticia and getting ready to start on The Bride. :)

D is for Decay..

This post is brought to you by the letter D...


So today hasn't been very promising with my lack of art. I really can't think of anything to draw, all Iv been drawing is dumb doodles and a strange sketch of Lily Munster. I really need to get some new inspiration and fast.

OH and I forgot to add this to yesterdays insane blog...I got a Skelanimal Bunny from my mom for Easter (Zombie Jesus day.) and it is so cute!!!!

Cute huh?
Oh and yes that is the sketch of Lily in the background, I needed to cover up the crazy PC screen. I really need to clean my desk if you can't tell by the craziness in front of the bunny. :(

I was listening to my play-list yesterday and I have decided I need to change it, so there will be better and more music up soon here. OH and that reminds me I will have contest stuff up today. Ill post it in a separate blog that Ill link in my DA journal.

Alright well I need to get to posting about the contest..Hope your Saturday is great!!!

Large update!!!!

I just want to start out saying how much I missed my blog! Iv been having issues with my blogging mind lately so hopefully I have concord that now. Alright lets get started!!

First of all I would like to just like to share a few things about my personal life with you guys.
A few days ago I made cup cakes. First time ever making them and them turning out looking like cup cakes. Pink frosting is yummy!


Another thing that happened recently is that I got my redunculusly long hair cut before prom.

On to Art stuff!!!

Well art has kinda been on the back burner for a while now but Im hoping that will change soon. I have given up on my Emilie Autumn drawing simply because Im just not happy with it, but I will have new stuff soon I hope.
Just finished a sketch of the Little Mermaid. I thought I would do something different.. Here is the sketch...



Im just about to upload it and color. I hope to have it up in a few hours. (Wish me luck!)
I Think Im going to spend the rest of the day working on new stuff for you guys.

Oh one last thing!

NEW CONTEST STUFF WILL BE POSTED TOMORROW BOTH HERE AND DEVIANT ART!

Love of Horror.

I am really excited about the new Nightmare on Elm-street remake that will be coming this year. If you haven't seen the trailer click here:

Well the trailer really inspired me to do some fan art, so I drew Freddy.....well more like a girl Freddy. That should be up sometime soon but back to why I am posting this.
I have always been a huge fan of scary movies since I was a little girl. One of my favorite horror movies is Friday the 13th. So after I drew my little Freddy inspired pieced I thought 'why not do a series of horror inspired drawings.' So I am asking you who is your favorite Horror Icon. It can be any one but I would like to keep it in the classic horror please.

So head over to my DA journal and tell me who you think I should draw!!!

Thanks guys!!!!




XOXOX
Erica~

Busy busy...

Alright so I woke up this morning and found that my most resent submission to DA 'Leech jar mistake' has 76 views in only 12hrs. Im so happy because it isn't done like most of my drawings, this one is actually draw traditionally. I haven't uploaded and colored many traditional pieces but I think I will keep going and see how it goes. I'm really proud of my little B13 girls, people seem to be interested in them which is amazing!


Now on to other things. I have such a long todo list. Both art wise and other. Got to clean my room for one, good lord. It looks like a bomb went off in here....scary.

But one thing I know I want to get finished is my zombie foe entry. I haven't even started it and I feel bad. I already have three entrys so far and they are great! Can't wait to see the rest!



Have a wonderful Sunday!

Zombie Prom Contest INFO!

Alright so there arn't many rules but I just need to make a few things clear first. This is a 'for fun' contest. Meaning there will be winners but no prizes. This is because I want to see how it goes before I put a butt load of money into it, but seeing as though this is my first contest I want to get a feel of how it is going to be. But that might change so who knows. But I hope that you enter anyways because it doesn't have a huge prize. I mean if you can think of something small we could do (seeing as though I am gainfully unemployed and broke.) please tell me. But anyways back on what I was saying. There wont be prizes but there will be three winners. I will post the top three here and on DA in order and the winner will be crowned Zombie Queen 2010 :) haha.

Anyways here are the rules.
1)You have to draw something original, please don't upload someone's work.
2)Must be a new drawing, can't be a drawing you have done in the past and decide to upload. Sorry.
3)Must stay on theme. The theme is Zombie Prom.
4)No nudity....but yall knew that.

See how simple was that. haha.

Now of when this contest will end. Today is the starting day to get your entry's ready and posted but the contest will not end until March 30th (last day in March.) A nice long dead line so take your time and have fun with it.

When you have uploaded your entry please ether comment here with the link or on DA with the link to your entry. I will have a folder just for them so you can go and see others entrys.

Oh and also if you want post a quick description of how your zombie came to be. What is there favorite thing to eat and where do they catch there victims. (Remember this is Prom so it should be in a school or ball room or something along those lines.) Your zombie can be a boy or a girl it doesn't really matter but I would hope it is a girl being as though the title is Zombie QUEEN lol. But I can make exceptions.

Also this contest will be judged by a few people, not just me so it will be fair for everyone.

So GO GET STARTED!

If you have any questions post them here or go to this link :

We are back!

Hello darlings! Im so excited to say that we are back up and running! By tomorrow everything should be as good as new.

Now I have 5 out of the first 10 drawn for my 100 word challenge thing. I have completed only one. :( and it is number 6 on the list which is poison. It was so much fun to draw this and it is now one of my favorite drawings.
It is traditionally drawn but colored with my tablet.
Here it is:


Hope you guys like it and I hope to have more up soon. :)

Art trade, Block 13 girls, and funny random stuff.

First off I just wanted to share the art trade that I did with StraightJacketManiac over on Deviant art.
Here is her half:

Link to her DA: http://straightjacketmaniac.deviantart.com/

My half:


Im really glad she liked it and I just thought Lady Belladonna looked great in her style!!!

Now on the the next thing.....Block 13 girl. Just idea I was bouncing around in my head but I have finally decided to do it. They are a hand full of OC's who will have a background story and a mental disorder to go along with it. Each girl will have something differant. Hopefully I can get each one drawn before the end of the week and have to storys ready soon after.

Here are some of the names:
Miss Stella
Lady Mercy
Lady Belladonna
Mistress Plumb
Miss Orpha
Mistress Permelia

I have already posted a drawing of both Lady Belladonna and Mistress Plumb on my DA check it out here:
http://reekaann.deviantart.com/art/B13SW-Asylum-Picnic-154147168

Last but not least I found this video really funny and I thought I would share it with you. :D

100th Deviation.

I finally reached my 100th Deviation!!! Also Im close to 2,000 views. Im so excited! Here is the sketch and finished product side by side. :)



Finished one alone: Here> http://reekaann.deviantart.com/art/Butterfly-fairy-154116475

V-day, sketch and walk throughs.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Valentines day!

Now on to other things. I will post a walk through of this drawing...


click here for full view> http://reekaann.deviantart.com/art/Circus-innocence-154081929

That should be up soon I am hoping. (BTW it will not be uploaded to DA.)

Also I just got finished with a new sketch. It is really detailed and busy but I really like it. I think it is really cute. What do you think?



Can't wait to color it. :)

Changes.

If you haven't already noticed I have been making changes to the blog a lot as of late. I have a new background and title. :) Im trying to make this look as good as possible and user friendly. I will also be replacing the picture at the top soon to something made just for the blog. Real excited about it. :)

In other news my photoshop is still acting up. Im really unsure what is going on with it. Everything looks so blurry. I wish I could find a copy of Gimp that would work on my PC. :( But I just can't. But Im gritting my teeth and waiting to see what happens.

Oh and I might post my snow pictures here soon and maybe some of Adella (my bear.) I hope to be updating a lot more then I have been. I hope!

LOOK!!! Its almost done!!!

Quick update. 2.8.10

Im going to be so busy all this week so I wont be able to post much on deviant art but I will post here. Im going to post the schedule of the week later just to give myself something go by lol.

Anyway Im in the process of working on a project for my lit class right now so I might post pictures of it in my next post, which might be later today. Haven't decided.

Hope everyone is doing well!!!!

Emilie Autumn Project information.

Alright so here is the deal with this project I have been talking about for a few days..

I now have the Emilie Autumn two disc Opheliac CD and I can't stop listening to it. So I am going to hold myself to a challenge. Within the month of February I am going to draw one picture for each song.. there are 24 songs/poems.
Song listing:

Disc 1 songs:
01. Opheliac
02. Swallow
03. Liar
04. The Art Of Suicide
05. I Want My Innocence Back
06. Misery Loves Company
07. God Help Me
08. Shalott
09. Gothic Lolita
10. Dead Is The New Alive
11. I Know Where You Sleep
12. Let The Record Show
13. The Art Of Suicide (Acoustic Version)

Disc 2 songs:
01. Thank God I'm Pretty
02. Dominant
03. 306
04. Gloomy Sunday
05. Asleep (originally by "The Smiths")
06. Mad Girl (Acoustic Version)
07. Thank God I'm Pretty (Acoustic Version)
08. Largo for Violin by J. S. Bach
09. Marry Me
10. Poem: How To Break A Heart
11. Poem: Ghost
12. Poem: At What Point Does A Shakespeare Say

There are 28 days in February so I think I will try and draw one every day.
Each one will be posted both on my Deviant-art and here. Each one will have the date, how long it took and the song title. At the end of Feb. I think I will make a video or something showing each song and picture so you can see how they go along. I can't wait to get started!

What do you think?

Long day ahead!!!!

I woke up this morning finding that I had slept with all of my cloths on and the door open...this is strange for me. lol.

Any ways I have been in a sluggish mood so far but I am trying to be productive. I just spent an hour in photoshop drawing something for Valentines day...Whats that? You want to see it! Im not sure I should....Should I? Alright fine just a sneak peek though!

I actually drew a man! He is really neat and I am so proud of this one I can't wait to finish it!

Oh and I will update later on my project. I promise!

Feelings of Death Doom and Distruction!

Alright so it has been brought to my attention that the comment section hates life and will not let anyone use it....not even me. I am still working on it I promise! Also I apologize for just starting this posting a blog and leaving for a while. I was just really busy with school. It has been stressful considering I have 200 things to do in 2 weeks before I leave for Honor band for my sister. Blah!

But I feel really bad for those of you who follow me on Deviant art. I just kinda stopped posting things but I tried to make it up and post two new drawings! (I hope you guys like it!)

Oh and Im going to start a new project soon! I got my hands on the Two disc Emilie Autumn CD Opheliac (sp). I will post more details about it soon I promise!

Well It is a bit early and nothing has happened so far today so I might update alittle later tonight. So Tata for now darlings.

A quick welcome..

I have been thinking about doing this for a while and finally I have gotten the time to do it! I knew it doesn't look like much but its mine and that is all that matters. Truthfully I don't mind if noone ever reads this or any of my other posts in the future but I just thought I would put myself out there for you.

I wanted to start this because I hate that I always cloud up my Deviant art Journal with all this stuff about me that Im sure that could careless about. So I will post thing like my personal life stuff, important information in detail, sketches and random things here.

Also I might post some of my writings and such. Im unsure how well this is going to go but lets give it a shot!!!
