Photo/s of the day.

[moonvoice]

My computer desk is starting to look really cluttered now.
I know I need to clean it but... too busy doing other things. Like sketching and worldbuilding.


Some sketching preparation (what, me???), for the largest illustration I've ever done. Which will be a forest. With lots of magical things in it.





Worldbuilding.





ANOTHER fire.





Couldn't fit the entire smoke plume on screen.

*eyepop* I LOVE THAT FROG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moonvoice]

George would thank you if he could! :D

(seriously though, thank you!)

[toeknuckles]

Your sketching always astounds me. It's SO NEAT. My sketching isn't even sketching to anybody else but me. It's just a jumbled page of random shit that doesn't even look like anything.

Ooh, I really like the frog (George xP), and are those flowers in the shape of butterflies?

[moonvoice]

are those flowers in the shape of butterflies?

Yup. It's a butterfly orchid, based on the base of a staghorn. I'm still working out the kinks, but it'll be going into the illustration.

I am in love with George the frog! The mushrooms growing from the back fascinate me! And the orchids look like butterflies to me, which makes me love them even more!

[skyfiery]

I absolutely LOVE your sketches! You bring forth a very magical feel from them. =)

The butterfly-flowers reminds me of the oxalis species, where the leaves are shaped somewhat like butterflies' wings. =D

[birgitriddle]

I love how whimsical your sketches are. :D

Hi George! :D

[spider_fox]

And ZOMG TEA SET :D!!

[redsixwing]

Ee! George is awesome.

I am very fond of the mushrooms above hir, too. Here's to mushrooms.

[tulikettu]

ach! frogs and mushrooms and butterflies are some of my MOST FAVOURITEST THINGS EVAR! I await this illustration with great anticipation. HUGE anticipation. Seriously. It totally strikes my core.

[white_rabbit]

Seconding LOVE THE FROG!!! Because, damn that frog is awesome.

Mushrooms definitely always seem magical to me in a forest setting. :)

[flamewarrior]

George is awesome! :-D

Actually, all those sketches are awesome, but George really stands out.

[cherrydaiquiri]

I love a) your sense of humour, b) your handwriting, c) how detailed your world plans are.

[gone_fishing]

OMG, MUSHROOMS AND BUTTERFLY FLOWERS. AND GEORGE THE FROG. OMG OMG OMG.

[silverjackal]

Your sketches are very intriguing! I'm looking forward to seeing more of this marvelous forest when/if you can share it with us. Your kitchen table also looks like my desk (except that I have computer equipment, a dog brush, a scorpion paperweight (it was a gift, I wouldn't support that industry myself) and an interesting stone thrown in there too). I try to keep it tidy, but somehow it never lasts.

LOVE that shroom-frog!

[burningbright]

OMG MUSHROOM FROG. :D

[shimmerhawk]

Is that a new icon? Love it. XD

I can't wait to see your forest. Forests are the best!

[lifedominant]

I like the sketches, George the frog especially. :)

For whatever reason my eye's drawn to the smoke photos. Is it me or is that an animal face in there? Looks like a bear or...maybe a Tasmanian devil? Hard to say. A little eerie, but very interesting.

Oh man. Nothing gets me itching to be creative like the site of a busy desk. I don't know what it is. It's like the sound of rustling pages, and the feeling of ink on paper. It's so stimulating.
