Still having arm troubles, but managed to get through this one for y'all, despite the massively time-consuming fishnets. Scan was made before adding the silver acrylic details on the chains and studs. Also found a couple more Trickster characters sketches which I have listed ;) Rent is past due, so check 'em out, yo!

Trickster Sketches 5



Trickster Sketches 6

Still working on scanner and other issues, but still drawing. not sure how well over the next few days, I tweaked my elbow (probably exercising) and am now giving it some TLC.

Gaby - NSFW!
5" x 7"



Magenta
8.5" x 11"

Both of these were old drawings that had been abandoned half-finished for one reason or another. I found them going through files and decided to give them another go.

Phaedra
8.5" x 11"

I abandoned this because her legs were wonky, and it drove me crazy. But I always liked the rest of it, so that won out in the end.



Lana
8.5" x 11"

This was before I started using a base marker tone for darker skin tones, and I had done a bit of her skin and not liked it. Gave it another go.

Selling the original manga art from Trickster, which was published in the first Rising Stars of Manga anthology.

SO NOT PRODUCTIVE right now. But I am starting to muscle through it, as I must if I want to have a home next month. So here's a nekkid catgirl. Still have not fixed webhosting because of all the other stuff I've been dealing with, so just click on the SFW thumbnail to get to the sales page, NSFW!

Last night, after a long hospitalization, my good friend of 24 years Scott Swanson passed away. Those from IMSA know him well; some of you from Arizona know him too, as he lived briefly in Phoenix and came down to visit on several occasions.

Those who don't know him can read more about who he was to the world here.

I keep trying to put down in words what Scott was to me, but so much of it cannot be explained, and I am still reeling. He was the best of friends, and the world is a poorer place for his absence. Maybe someday I'll be able to write more, because he deserves it.

Have not yeat dealt with the website issues, because other more important stuff took precedence this weekend. However, the rent can't wait, have to pay it today, and I am still short $100, so here's some new art. My heart is not really in drawing this week, those who do not know why already, I will be posting on it later.

Some of this is NSFW; however, with my website down I don't have an easy way to post the full pics here anyway, so just click on the thumbnail link for the sale to see the full pic.

My website is down, because due to a series of unfortunate events my domain name registration has completely expired, and unless I can convince my webhost to pay for the redemption fee (because it sure as heck is their fault! I am really furious right now!) I am not going to be able to get it back without paying a huge fee, or waiting and taking my chances when it comes on the market again. Given that I can't afford the huge fee, this is a major problem. And in any case, my email and website are down until it is all cleared up, which may take weeks. I am about to go and place my angry call to tech support, but I suspect I will just be spinning my wheels.

If you need to contact me in the meantime, I created a gmail.com mail account for emails. bridgetwilde AT gmail DOT com. Please update your address books. I am probably going to keep this email account going even once I get my domain name back, so it should be good as long as Google is in business.

This picture will disturb some - probably many - of you. But it was too much fun to pass up. It is TECHNICALLY safe for work, but I will put it behind a cut so those who might be disturbed by it do not need to buy brillo pads for your eyes.

The rest of you, enjoy!



( FOR GREAT JUSTICE! )

Technically, one of these is safe for work, but it's so borderline I'm putting it under a cut anyhow.

Well, I am without steady internet until the college opens again on Monday. Making a quick stop to upload these before I run off to buy some pen nibs so I can ink pretty again. Slowly recovering from the holidays. Some Christmas art and New Year's art will be coming soon, but in the meantime I have the last catgirls of 2009! Here's Tara, who is SFW.

A few more jewelry pieces. Drawing as well, but I am trying to focus on commissions and other such stuff for the next couple of days to try and get JUST A LITTLE caught up before the holidays.

Smoky Quartz & Fw Pearl pendant



Amethyst Heart pendant - tiny and cute!



Mauve Pearl Pendant & Earrings (2 listings)

One advantage to the jewelry is that I can take it places I can't draw. All my time has been consumed by final preparations for my class (which in fact my students are taking EVEN AS I TYPE) but last night was the kids' Christmas program, and while sitting there listening to varous holiday songs being mutilated, I was able to finish these two pendants. (I am looking forward to having this final over so I can draw again! And sleep a bit more, too. Grading is much less painful than creating tests.)

Anyhow, both of these use dyed red howlite beads - off the same strand, even - and the same basic pendant design, but the stones themselves are very different and the end results are hardly the same at all. Enjoy!

This one, the stone made me think of Jupiter with its varied tones and unique blemishes. I used gold-filled wire and got a little more sci-fi with the wire curves.



And this one has a smooth crimson stone, with very light black mottling, and uses all sterling silver wire.

Running because I have to leave for the theater in an hour and am totally not ready. More jewelry.

Mystery Blue Stone



Lapis Lazuli



Malachite (sold)



Red agate

WELL. I said I was going to start posting jewelry on Etsy, and here's the first! It's just a simple wire pendant, rose quartz and sterling silver. Check it out! It's very tiny, just over an inch high including bail. Click on the image to buy.

In case you're wondering, I am NOT in any way discontinuing doing artwork! I have been making simple jewelry for a while, but have been donating it to the TRB for their boutique and raffle. I'm not much of an innovator, but I really love working with metal and gemstones. This year, I found myself in a position that money was leaving my pocket, and I could either make it a pure donation or get an advertisement in the program out of it. I picked the ad, and since ballet audiences are unlikely to be into catgirls AND have been seeing my jewelry for years now, it seemed smart to put some jewelry online. ETA: And since the ballet is this weekend, I need to get it all up by Friday night!

More will be coming once I've got the photos edited - Rachel is my photographer, isn't she awesome?

Things are crazy this week, but I'll be back.

Because I can't do much art (and thus pay rent) without supplies...
