A last few shots from my visit to Tattooine, aka Tunisia, where one can spot Darth Vader and friends built entirely out of old propane tanks and scrap metal, and get an outstanding bowl of couscous! Thanks to the people of that gorgeous country and may the force be with all you gorgeous fellow fans!

Imagine being this much of a nerd — I originally visited Tunisia to nerd out on a *completely separate* thing, the ruins of Ancient Carthage. I'd actually read that the Star Wars set had long since been dismantled, so discovering it there was a cherry on my nerd sundaeXD

To celebrate May the 4th I thought I'd share these pics from my visit to Tataouine, Tunisia and the Skywalker homestead:D (For a heat intolerant Canadian on the brink of hospitalization, the exhausted baby camel in the parking lot by the vending machines was a moodXD)

Guys this is so random but if you like my art reply to this with your pretty face and I'll pick someone to paint! I have like 48 free hours and am sick of all the other canvases I have on the goXD I have a hankering to paint something like this...

Wanted a new face for one of my costume design models!! Blocking out the areas, laying down washes of tone, then blending it all together is a process that brings me tremendous relaxation:P Every time I finish a big illustration commission I find it really helps me unwind <3

A breakdown of all the planes and volumes of a face in line art form, waiting for the tones and shadows that will create the illusion of realism!

My portrait of Spirited Away's mysterious dragon boy, Haku! Combining silver leaf with oil paint in layers of translucent wash, the complexity of this painting had my brain flipping around inside my skullXD Never my most popular art print but for all the struggle I'm so pleased how he came out <3

My great granny had no giant spoons, just hundreds of tiny little ones in a specialty wall mounted tiny spoon display. One day I shall inherit them and they shall be mine.

My artworks 'Negative Space I&II' which decry the criminalization of female anatomy and sexuality, have been taken down by the pearlcluthers at Etsy for nudity and sexualityXD (I'm sure they don't see the irony.) I have thus made them available via the new 🔥Forbidden Prints🔥 section of my website;P

I was never cool enough to play Final Fantasy as a kid so, at the ripe old age of 34, I watched FF7 Remake and Crisis Core. And they ✨ruined✨ meXD So I painted this little fanart as somewhere to put all my tragic fangirl fervor until the next instalment came out!

Glimpse. 2022. Prints in my shop:)

Cloud of Final Fantasy 7 squints at the light through the apertures in his buster sword and gains a glimpse of things passed.

As a decent tax paying socialist and all round heathen, I have a satanic impulse or twoXD Were I to view Lucifer from within canon, as the avatar of all free thought, free expression, and pleasure, well, I'd just have to paint her as a woman. And I didXD

Mephistopheles. 2015.

It was painful to paint but I was assured by a fellow MDZS when first posting it that "we love to cry in this fandom" xD I'm very glad you're enjoying it my dear ❤️🐇💙
