Jitensha - Sketch Collection

Top artist Jitensha had herself a little Sketch Off this week and I had to take advantage of it.  A great opportunity to get some more visualizations of some characters.

We'll start off with the always-fashionable Mistress Arianna.

Art Contest Update

Just a reminder for all the artists out there - about 3 months left in the 6th Art Contest for the site.

Please check out the details here - and have a great Thanksgiving weekend!

zdemian - A Candid Portrait

Been meaning to do this for quite some time.  Finally snagged the opportunity to work with the master of "big" - zdemian.

In this image, we see Mistress Arianna in an earlier time and place - assisting a young woman of the court with a new dress.  Truly a beautiful professional.

Cluedog - Chapagne Wishes - the Conclusion

We finally come to the end of this massive undertaking.  Portrayed beautifully by Cluedog - a labor of love.

Thanks for the support that allows us to bring projects like this to you.

Cluedog - Champagne Wishes part 1

 Keeping the tradition, now that Cluedog's newest project has been listed, I'll be posting the previous project - Champagne Wishes - in full here on the site (I think we'll go with 10-15 pics/day).

Enjoy!

Election Day 2012

Well....election day here in the US.  I voted last month - my county does mail-in ballots for absentee voting AND normal voting - but I got an early ballot due to being out of town for training.

Frankly, I'm well aware that I'm part of a tiny minority in this "community", but my thoughts on the incumbent are not suitable for polite conversation (or this blog). 

That said, this is an apolitical blog - so just for the sake of equal coverage, I'll direct your eyes towards this little piece from Engineskye I commissioned two years ago.

Part 1

and

Part 2

This commission was a lot of fun - thought about doing something similar this year, but just never worked it out....even considered an art contest, but we know how well those tend to turn out.

Will continue with some special art posting tomorrow.

Donation Art Update - Common Courtesy

I am extremely happy to present a new donation project by Cluedog.  This one has been a long time coming but I think you will agree with me that it is more than worth the wait.

The natural follow-up to the beautiful set of sequences by our guest artists this past week - Mistress Arianna occasionally reliant on public transportation finds herself waiting for an overdue bus.  All the stress of a long day has accumulated and the blatant rudeness and disrespect around her is just too much.... 

On a side note - with the sheer size of this project (over 100 images) - I am upping the price slightly to $7.50, but a full 1/3 of this will be going to the original artist.  Thanks for your support!
