Barely made it..!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Sorry about the lack of updates. Unfortunately there hasn't been much drawing time (there hasn't been much ANYTHING-time) lately.. But that's what happens when you work almost everyday!

Hope you all had a great day though, and I'll try to get back on track ASAP!

Back from the dead!

Augh! Can't describe the torture it was to be without my Sai. But! Thanks to a certain AMAZING Papa of mine, I can draw again! It's fantastic!

So here we go!



This was a gift for the man in my life! It was his birthday on the 21st.. so I was a little late getting it done (for obvious reasons), but ... again, this is pretty normal for me. Colours coming soon! A cookie for anyone that can guess which picture inspired me for this pic!

More to come!

Litttttttle problem.

As you may have noticed, there were no updates last week!

I ran into a little problem. My computer is... pretty much on its last legs. I can't connect my tablet anymore or the computer freezes. Can't work with Sai. DEFINITELY can't work with Photoshop. Can't scan anything. And my Mac is too slow to work with.

So.. updates are pretty much non-existent until I can figure out a way to solve this problem. Will probably hit the casino soon.. that's always a sure thing right? ..... Right?

Anyway, thanks for your patience!

My best girl.

Just to make up for my lack of posts last week.... A little doodle!

This is actually a couple years old, just touched up tonight. It's.. one of those drawings that for no apparent reason you really like. No idea.

"Pride and Peppermint"



Noooot really peppermint at all. Let's roll with it for the title. D:

This was a fun doodle I did one afternoon.... which turned into a fun colouring exercise!

Nothing too exciting to say! I just wanted to play with colours I don't normally get to touch.. despite how much I love them and their fluffiness!

"An Evening Drizzle"



(DA Desc.)

Okay. I've been working on this longer than I care to discuss.. and I still can't decide if I'm happy with it or not.

However! I don't want to linger too much longer.. and there are some things I rather enjoy. I just think I've been staring at it faaaaaar too long.

It appears that on their travels our magical duo was caught in a little rain storm. X3! It was just an idea that kinda hit me while I was doodling one day, and it was just too cute to not draw out completely!

Slacking again...

I'm afraid I fail again this week. It's been a long and rough one. Guh. Still though....!

Hope you guys all had fun!!! <3

Quick little doodle!

Since I was forced kicking and screaming asked nicely to keep working away, I did a little doodle this afternoon!

I've been watching Pride and Prejudice, haha, so that's where this came from. Just something relaxing and fun!

Have a great week everyone!!

~Ginny

Something random.

It's been a LONG week. Lots and lots of early mornings.. so I'll be honest: I'm completely burned out. (you have no idea how many spelling errors I've made so far)

So! I just have something really small. Just something for funsies.

Wewt. SUPER ROUGH. Sorry about that. Like I said... so very tired.

~Ginny

Thursday, October 14, 2010

And another!

The idea for this piece just sorta hit me outta no where and it was too cute to not roll with! I knew I wanted to draw these two again, and this was the perfect chance!

And check it out... a background and everything. Holy crap! Yeah, yeah. Another forest. I know. I love drawing them.... but, go figure, I hate actually being in them, haha.

Bottled partners!





(Description ganked from DA)


This was..... totally for funsies. Whipped it up in about 2 hours. Lol. I was REALLY bored tonight and felt like doing something with these two! XD

.....That's about it. Something weird happened with the file, so at the moment I can't make it all transparent and cool. So just pretend!?

"Come to bed"

A little piece I whipped up over the last 3 days or so. Just for funsies. Small (partial) nudity warning!

(Copied from DA)


Hahaha... after a short dry period I come back with... smut! Wewt!

Okay. Not smut. Just... suggestive.

This was a gift for someone very very special to me <3! And no real details behind what I was going for. I just wanted to draw something sexy. I hope this satisfies that!

I just love Cynthia. She's my favourite Pokemon character! (with Sabrina coming in a close second!)

All right! I hope you all enjoy! <3

Quick update

Sorry dudes. Week sort of got away from me again and I can't actually post what I'm working on at the moment!!

So here is a preview of another piece I've been colouring!

Woot! Happy Toikey Day to my fellow Canadians!

~Ginny

Lines!

Just finished this up a few minutes ago.

Hey, look! A background! No way!!

~Ginny

Friday, October 1, 2010

First piece!

So I went and saw Sarah Brightman tonight. It was awesome. Not as awesome as Michael Buble (or that Genesis concert I went to for that matter) but still awesome. She is just so beautiful!

Anyway. I was inspired.

It's not what I had originally planned on drawing today.. but it was fun and quick!

~Ginny

Thursday, September 30, 2010

Oh dear!

I hadn't realized the week had got away from me! It's been pretty hectic with a "promotion" at work weighing heavy on my mind..... among other wonderful things!



(Description ganked from DA)
After a long evening of doing HIGHLY inappropriate things in their bakery, our happy couple comes home for some well-deserved rest.

I'm... somewhat happy with this. I tried to play with darker colours, you know, cause it's night... but I'm not sure how successful I was. Something to work on for sure!!

Gestures!

Since I love gestures, and I had a lot of fun with these.. I thought I'd post them.

Just playing around with style, mostly. I had a little light bulb moment with Victor's mother.. and wanted to get something of her out ASAP. The second features Rachael. Still playing around with her a bit, but I think she's close to what she'll be once the comic comes out! Victor's mum was probably about 30 seconds... and Rachael was seriously about 10 seconds. So don't slaughter me too badly, haha.

Have a great week all!

~Ginny

Monday, September 20, 2010

Early start!

I have a few things I did up yesterday, so here we go!

The first was supposed to be a little cartoon'd self-portrait, but I wasn't happy with the outcome. I'll find my look eventually!

Couple of random doodles on a note pad.

And coloured up!

That's all for now!

~Ginny

Sunday, September 19, 2010

All right!

Just another small update with the inks. Feeling.... just a tiny bit lazy this week.



There we go! See you all next week!

~Ginny

Better.

A little update for tonight. Realized the week was escaping me again.

Almost finished the inks!

~Ginny

Saturday, September 11, 2010

One update this week.

Pretty much gonna have to be a one update week this week. I barely had it in me for this one.


Sooo.. I started this one on thursday night and have had a helluva time finishing it. I liked the original idea behind it, complete with just the hint of naughtiness. Hopefully one day I'll colour it. And the backlog of other images of these two, but we'll see.

~Ginny

Somehow..!

...I managed to do it!

Quick little colouring job. Gawd, I haven't drawn Annie in a while. I seriously need to love her up!

~Ginny

Saturday, September 4, 2010

Fail!

I'm a total slacker this week!

I've been colouring the various things I have piling up, but nothing is finished as of yet. I seem to be in a colour-block of sorts. I'm not liking anything I colour.. so.. instead of posting a WIP, I sat down and did a quick 10 minute gesture(/sketch) session

Totally just for funsies! I'll try and update with something better tomorrow!

~Ginny

Sunday, August 29, 2010

Great week!

A little news: I had a little portfolio review with Archie Comics today and it went very well! I got a LOT of constructive feedback as well as some really positive comments. VERY VERY happy! I'm going to keep working hard to impress them!

Ok! Now that I've said that, I have the coloured version complete!!

Really quick colouring job, actually. I wanted to have it in my portfolio for today.. so I stayed up (insanely) late and finished it! Hope ya like!

Have a great week!! I know mine pretty much can't get any better!

~Ginny

This just in...

Apparently working out makes you want to ink things quickly. Who knew?!


More to come (still)!

~Ginny

Sketch!

Finished this up just a couple minutes ago!



More to come later this week!!

Unrelated side note: I am so getting pumped for FanExpo this weekend. Artist's Alley is going to KILL my bank account!

Another little gifty for Tekky! X3

I was having yet another round of artist's block when he suggested I do something cute with Michael and Maggie! I didn't do it initially.. but a few hours later I had a little light bulb, quickly doodled something out and this was the result!

Unfortunately, I got a little upset about stuff and it sat on the shelf for a week or so, but at Tekky's insistence I got working on it yesterday. :P lol.

I'm really happy with the result! But.. I love fluff so much, and I'm slightly biased. XD

Perfect Fit.

The last little sketch I did in this, I guess, series.

They've finally made it home for the evening and can get some well deserved rest. God, I loved this one. I can't wait to colour it. I just love the intimacy. Is it weird to be insanely jealous of my characters? Cause I am!

All right! Have a good weekend all.

Wednesday, August 18, 2010

It continues...!

So, I'll post a little warning: my next pic.. there are bums. Two, to be exact. If that ain't yo thang, don't look!!


I got bored on break one day and opted to continue the making out pic from last time!

This would be.. right after. She is VERY serious about getting everything ready for the next day, so she would force him to stick around and prepare. But since they've 'wasted' so much time, she's not allowing for any interruptions. Like getting dressed. Not that he's complaining. Now her only concern is how focused he is...!

Totally for funsies! If I were ever to do a comic with these two, this would never be in there, haha. I just wanted to kink these two up a bit.

~Ginny

(Insert joke about dough rising here)

So I have a couple more doodles of my favourite little bakery couple!

This one would be early on in the story (I say that so it implies I actually have some kind of story written) where she is trying to convince him to leave his crappy office job and work in her bakery. Orrrrr, she's just coming to visit him because she wants to see him. Perhaps when she deliveries yummy treats to his office? Either way, he looks "totally" unimpressed with her visit. Except he totally digs her and just doesn't have the cojones to say anything. Little does he realize (he's a bit slow) that she'd totally accept his feelings!

Just a quick little doodle. Like, seriously, 5 minutes. Will clean and fix the (bazillion) errors later!

Annnnnnd this is clearly after they've finally got their stuff sorted out. Haha. She was pulling a late night getting goodies ready for the next day, but he clearly was in the mood for something fun. She's definitely going to be scolding him later for distracting her! Side note: I think this might be the kinkiest thing I've drawn. Kinky in a bad-romance-novel kinda way. Which is awesome. I can't wait to finish this up!

Okay, that is all!

~Ginny

Monday, August 9, 2010

Hmm..

So... apparently there is always time for pin-up girls.

So there ya go! The more you know!

~Ginny

Friday, August 6, 2010

Sketch!

Since I have a sneaking suspicion I won't be in an arty mood for the next little while, I shall post what I doodled out last night!
Dominic is such a flirt. Poor Sakina though.. don't worry, you know that's just how he is!!


Have a great weekend everyone!

Final colours.


(Copied from DA)

"Will you come in? Honestly! Why did we come to the beach if you won't come in the water!?"

He tilted his head up to look at the young princess. Look. Not stare. An admittedly difficult feat when the young princess is as gloriously perfect as this one. Her normally ivory skin had just a hint of bronze from all of their recent time spent at the beach; her idea, not his.

He most certainly was not a fan of the beach. Too busy, too sandy, too sunny and too hot. Though, he mused, it was not without some perks! The bikini, for example. Her bikini. It accented every gentle curve and every lovely angle. The thin straps of her top hugged the base of her slender neck, above it would be the sweet smile that was meant just for him. A smile, he noticed, that had been replaced with a smirk. He was staring. Dammit.

"Find something that got your attention?"


Totally just for funsies. I was experimenting with colouring again. I admittedly failed at the WHITE WICKER beach chair, but if we take that out.. I'm satisfied with this piece! Particularly with Angela. She was very very fun to colour.

Also, ignore my bad writing *points up* It's been a LONG TIME since I wrote any sort of fic!



~Ginny

It's baaack.

So, everyone remember that sketch I did 800 years ago? Well, in an attempt to work on something stress-free/easy, I revisited my glasses sketch. When I originally drew him, I only half had Guren in mind. The end result was close enough. And, since I like drawing things for my best friend so much, I changed him up enough to pass as Guren in "summer" clothes. Assuming he'd ever venture out into a summer-y place.

From there I thought, "well, why don't I sneak Angela in there somewhere?" Which lead to doodling around with backgrounds. (He originally started out at some ritzy hotel with a nice garden in the background.) But then, just having Angela in the background wasn't cute enough for me. So, to make a long story only slightly shorter than it already is, I ended up with this:

I won't lie. It was just an excuse to draw a bathing suit. And leave me alone about the chair! I pictured one of those nice white wicker chairs that resorts have! So, think of him as on a patio that goes out to the beach. Or something. Humour me.

I actually thoroughly enjoy this pic! Mostly because it was literally some garbage sketch I did for practice and it expanded into something cute. Always a good thing.

And holy crap. I wrote a lot. Sorry for all the reading. I know. It totally wasn't worth it, but what can you do?

Have a great weekend everyone!

~Ginny

Another finished piece?!

So early in the week? What is this?!

Yes! I have finally finished the commission I've been working on the last month or so! I will post the description from my DA page:

This was a commission from one of my long time friends! It was a wedding portrait of sorts.. that I kind of took in my own direction.

I set out to do something with an Art Nouveau style. But it kinda grew and changed from there! I did some research and decided I wanted some special meanings within the piece as well.

So we have...

Ivy leaves - Fidelity
Peony - Happy marriage
Sunflower - Adoration, loyalty, longevity
24 red roses - Congratulations (or, 25 if you count the partial one on the left side, for passionate love)

The heart frame is kind of obvious. And the background was from a photo I remember seeing years ago of them out for a hike (I believe) at the top of a hill. :D So I wanted to play on that outdoorsy hobby.

Also tried playing with base coats a little more as well. I think the white came out a lot strong with a blue base rather than a grey!

So overall, I'm very very pleased with this! He seems to be as well, which is the icing on the cake!!


That is all!

~Ginny

Annnd the final photos.

All right. So here are the final photos!

The front (with close up)

And the back! (Yeah, I apologize)

Progress Photos!

So the pants are complete, and I've submitted my entry to the contest! Here are the progress photos for now!

First are the final inks.

And the chalk roughs on the pants. Fun side note: these are my first roughs. The ones I drew on the WRONG side of the pants. MAN that was a kick in the ass.

More to come tomorrow!!

~Ginny

Sunday, July 18, 2010

More sketches!

So here are a few more designs. These were literally like... 10 second gestures. Or less.

Annnd that's it. Hopefully I can get started on these bad boys soon! The contest is this weekend!
