Art Nouveau 2

Just updating with another Art Nouveau/manga hybrid. Again, I did this one a few weeks ago, so it's being posted fairly late.



So far we've got The Butler and The Healer, this week's will be The Priestess. She's already inked, I've just got to get her colored.

Things are a little rough right now, and I'm under some fiscal stress, so I'd like to emphasize the fact that I am always up for commissions.

As a side note, How to Train Your Dragon was just as good as I remembered.

Art Nouveau 1

I'm trying my hand at Art Nouveau! Or rather a manga/Art Nouveau hybrid? I drew and colored this one about two weeks ago, but have only recently thought to post it here. I'm aiming for one character a week, but it really depends on my work schedule and how okay/horrible things are going for me.

Hahah...sigh.

Oh Hai Guyz

I...uh...I've been really busy lately with work and stuff. Yeah...so here's a picture!



I did this about a month ago, as the cover for the mini-comic I made for my friend's birthday. They're foxes and also best friends maybe?

Anyway, I'm desperately trying to do more art-related things. I'm trying, darn it!

It's Been a While!

It's been way too long since an update, so I decided to post a drawing! In other news, I'm working on a secret project for my friend's birthday, and I'm still looking for a job. Anyway, once the project is finished, I suspect I'll display a bit of it on this site, and perhaps make copies to sell at conventions.

Anywho, about this illustration...it's the first of a series I'm planning on completing. They're more or less character designs for the fictional band Thickening Agent. What you see below are the bass player and the guitarist, respectively. I still have to post the lead singer and the drummer, along with their various friends and family.





I'm also waiting for the two who won my last contest to get back to me about what they would like me to sketch. I will be posting another contest piece up soon, so get ready! As you know, the prize is a colored sketch of anything you want!

See you soon, I hope!

Contest!

Hi everyone! I started a contest at my other blog a while back, and really wanted to continue with a different possibility to win every week, but I didn't have the time. So I'm trying again now that I'm a free bird!! This week's contest is pretty much like last time's.

Below I have an illustration that I drew with the initial inspiration being a Greek goddess. You tell me which Greek goddess it was that inspired this and you'll get a free sketch from me of anything you want!

Except...y'know, porn.

Careful, cuz it might be a little tricky. Tell me who you think it is below in the comments, or send me an Email at madisonhenline@gmail.com. Good luck!

Bleedingheart Dove and Cover Art

I believe this will be the last of the updates concerning the "Strange Tales of the American South" book I completed for Self-Publishing. It's sad, in a way. I'm at my mom's house in Florida at the moment, and yesterday when I cleaned my closet I found all this art I did as projects for foundation classes. Seems like so long ago! Anyway, this first image is the title card for the Bleedingheart Dove. The story, as always, can be found here: http://themoonlitroad.com/the-bleeding-heart-dove/



This second image was completed in watercolors and I like it pretty much except for the plant in the background and the girl's feet. Seriously! What was I doing there? The colors I used for her skin also turned out very splotchy for some reason. I need practice!



Below is the cover image I used. It's very simple and very...digital.



And finally, the completed book! I also created a back page showing previews of the stories and giving credit to Craig Dominey and his website, but there wasn't really an illustration on the back save for a derpy bird, so I suppose this is it!

This illustration is one of my personal favorites, and the story it's based upon is one of my favorites as well. The story is here: http://themoonlitroad.com/the-white-dress/

And I'd highly recommend reading it. It's short, sweet, and awesome.



I also had a version of this drawing where I included the lines and details of her dress.



But in the end, I just thought it looked better with the white. I also included a picture I took of the finished book, open to the page with this illustration on it.




In other news, I wanted to give you guys my E-mail in case anyone wanted to contact me. You can E-mail me at either madisonhenline@gmail.com or FeatheredIce@aol.com. I'll have some more posts up later, when I'm not job searching. Thanks for reading! :D
