Color Sketchs

I thinking about painting these guys, made some very 'halolla päähän' sketches.:) It might help when starting the actual painting.

Some color tryouts:









Sketch-o-ramas:

Merry Christmas

(more lute players next year)

Golden Sparrow

I watched yesterday Jackie Chan&Jet Li movie 'Forbidden Kingdom'. It was very 1980ish movie I think :) Here's a character from the movie, The Golden Sparrow. I love the cool codenames characters have in chinese movies. My favorite movie in this genre is Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger. I really love that 'old folk's' romance between Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yun-Fat.

Swan smoking a Liquorice pipe

The liquorice candy pipes may soon be illegal in Finland, because they might push children smoke cigarettes. Sounds like a gag from Monty Python, I think!

Kites and Cherry Blossoms

Narnia dude(tte)

I watched Narnia 2: Prince Kaspian in weekend, quite good actually.

Quick Doodle

Rainy Sunday, some free time at last = quick crappy doodle. :)

November (Rain)

Whoaaa, so much hurry in the last month, now I just want to lay on sofa (like an opulent vampire queen) and perhaps make some sort of cocoon and come out in Spring! :)

Hunting Lady

I felt an urgent need to draw something very Autumn-like :)

Asteroidz

Two Unhappy Ladies

Magical Mountain

Almost Halloween

sad pug

M. Poppins doesn't cope with the 21th century.

Quick doodling on Thursday

Sunset Tree

A friendly neighbourhood samurai

It's your friend Jalomeister doing seitei iaido kata in Budo show held this weekend in Helsinki. I was QUITE nervous but it got better after a little while, no shaky hands&feet after couple of minutes. :)

Mask

Hipit kukat

Smart Bear!

Late Summer

This was today:

Mocking Bird

Plant (Robert)

A random plant, it's been very dry for a weeks now and all the plants and flowers are dry as a bone. Feels bit like september somehow!

Summer Holiday (again)

This little troll is very eager to start his summer holiday. He has even bought new swimming trunks.

Dove cot

huvud på cykel eli pää pyörällä :)

Faces

Quick sketch scribble!

Dead Lands

I rented Will Smith's 'I am a Legend' in Saturday, the scenes of the city abandoned and taken over the wild life were somewhat bewildering. Of course I had terrible nightmares last night, because the movie was about zombie apocalypseish stuff, my worst fear!

aberdeen angus

holy cow ;)

Autumn-y person

Work in progress, I'll make this one a some sort of harvest queen aka harvesteri! :)

Auburn Faery

Very Witchy Monday :)

Erlking

I started to read John Connolly's novel collection 'Nocturnes', and it's really, really good. Here's an illustration loosely based on my favorite story so far, 'Erlking'.

Gloomy Thursday

I just realised it's very hard to write 'thursday' without wondering if there's a typo.

Ladies under work

I have couple of digipaintings I'm working on my free time, here's some snapshots:
