New ACEO painting: Occultus Morsus

Latin for "Hidden Sting". This one took me a long time, probably more than 15 hours, I really tried to push myself to get a lot of detail in there. I'm quite happy with the outcome, I definitely feel like I've made some definite improvements in my art. Click for a bigger picture, and sale details. I'll be adding this image to my zazzle shop soon.

Watercolor, gouache, gel pen, Prismacolor markers, and Copic fine liners on illustration Board.

New Art: Daylily ACEO study

Ok, not really that new, I finished this a couple weeks ago, but I've been pretty busy with work and stuff, so I'm just now getting around to posting it up here. Just practice, picked a random subject and painted it, flowers, big surprise, I know. Click to full view.

New art - 'Montane Wyvern' ACEO

I started this painting in January (although this dragon has been sitting in my sketchbook for maybe a year or so), finished the dragon, and set it aside not knowing what to put in the background.The shading has more depth to it in real life, althought the colors are still fairly soft.

This painting is for sale HERE.

Mushroom fairy WIP

Dug this up while I was going through some art to sell (I'm running an art sale right now, check my journal if you're interested). I haven't touched it in months, I got stuck trying to figure out how to do the lighting, put it aside, and never got around to picking it up again. Yes, the moss took a stupidly long time to paint.

There's really not too much left to do in terms of actual work, I just need to figure out exactly what I need to do before I do it. Shade and re ink the fairy, add some more water droplets, touch up the background. Initially it had another big tree on the right side, but I think I'll just cut that bit off because it's not too interesting.

I hope to finish this eventually, but in case I never do, I'll upload it as is. I left the taped up border because I like it for some reason.

Watercolor, gouache, micron and gel pen.

New ACEO art: Red Lace Dragon

I'd started this as a little warm up/color study, but I ended up spending a good chunk of time on it. I'll probably be including this type of dragon in both my sticker set and my dragon lady portfolio.

New art: Painted Dragon ACEO

Ok, so it's not finished, and I don't know if I'll ever finish it. I messed up the shadows and I really don't feel like messing with it. Maybe one day in the far future I'll finish it, but for now I need to set it aside because it's distracting me. So, in case I never finish it, here it is :P

New ACEO: 'Current'

I actually finished this a few days ago, but I didn't feel like uploading it everywhere right away because I've been pretty unmotivated lately. Just a (relatively) quick thing to keep myself from going crazy, I feel I'm slipping into another bout of art block :\

Klem ACEO

My half of an ACEO trade with icondanji-isthmus, of her character Klem.

I wish I would have put a wash of blue or something over the whole thing to make it more obvious that he's underwater, but I didn't think of it until it was almost done, and a wash of color at that point would have lifted a good deal of the paint off of the illustration board I was using. Oh well, I'm still happy with it, and I learned something.

Ivana Hewlett ACEO

Finished ACEO badge commission for Atomiccoon, of his bat/dragon hybrid character, Ivana Hewlett.

Tried doing a bit of a lighting experiment, trying to make it look like moonlight. She's supposed to be in a walled courtyard, rather than a building with a roof.

Huge art sale! Reduced prices on prints and original ACEOs.

I'm trying to raise some money so I can visit my friends and family for a few days, fix my bike AND buy some chicken wire to keep the rabbits out of the vegetable garden, so I'm running a print and original ACEO sale in addition to my ACEO commission sale, which is still going on, if anyone's interested. I don't expect art money to cover all of those things, but it's been a while since Ben and I have had any leather work to do (though that should hopefully pick up again soon) so if we can just take care of one or two of these, it would be a huge help.

It's been a while since I've put something like this together, so I hope I'm not missing any information! If anything looks confusing, or you have any questions, please let me know. You can comment here, or email me at: Tealnewcomb@metalkirin.com

All prices USD, my paypal address is: babieslovehammers@gmail.com Please fill out the form below, and read all instructions before sending payment.

The sale ends March 30th, since we're planing to leave for my home town on the 1st, so I'll have plenty of time to ship everything out.

These ACEOs (as well as all of my artwork) have been stored in drawers, out of the light, and away from smoke or anything else that could cause damage to them. They do NOT come from a smoke free, pet free home (we have Cats, Dogs, and a Bird), although it's been almost a year since anyone's smoked in the house, and even then my boyfriend's mother was not a heavy smoker. As I mentioned before, they've always been kept in drawers, so any exposure to pet dandruff or smoke is minimal, I just thought it would be prudent to mention this in case anyone reading this has a severe allergy or something.

Prints are made with high quality ink on matte photo paper, minimum DPI is 300, but almost all of them are at least 500 DPI.

To order, Email me at: Tealnewcomb@metalkirin.com

These are the ACEOs I currently have available as prints and originals, click the images to full view, prices for originals are listed below the images:




I can also make almost any of my paintings/drawings available as a high quality ACEO sized print with little loss of detail. These seriously look really nice, my printer's pretty awesome and it gets all the little details, I tested it by printing THIS image and THIS image, even scaled down to ACEO size they look so much crisper than they do on my computer screen. Because the format will be different, I will probably have to crop the image a bit, for most paintings this will barely be noticeable, but some longer format images will have to be cropped significantly. If there's something you'd like me to make available in ACEO format, just let me know and I can send you an example of what it would look like cropped.

These are some of the large pieces I currently have available as prints and originals, click the images to full view, prices for originals are listed HERE, if anyone is interested:



Prices:

ACEO prints: $1.50 each, or 5 for $5, shipped in acid free clear Ultrapro sleeves. They are signed on the back. For a list of artwork available as ACEO prints, see below. If there's something of mine that isn't listed below that you'd like to purchase a print of, let me know and I'll see if I can get it for you.

ACEO originals: Individual prices as marked, shipped in clear, acid free ultrapro sleeves. Each original comes with a free ACEO print of your choice. I will not ship originals in regular envelopes. For a list of original ACEOs available, see below.

Large prints (size varies, I print them out as big as I can on 8.5"x11", they max out at about 7.5"x9" ): $7 each, or 5 for $30, each large print comes with a free ACEO print of your choice. They are signed on the back. For a list of artwork available as large prints, see below.

Shipping Prices:

Shipping for ACEO prints only: USA, Canada and Mexico: 44 cents flat if shipped in a regular envelope, $1.50 flat if shipped in a small bubble or cardboard mailer. International: $1 flat if shipped in a regular envelope, $1.50 flat if shipped in a small bubble or cardboard mailer.

Shipping ACEO prints and originals combined, or ACEO originals only: $2.00 flat in a bubble or cardboard mailer, includes insurance within the united states. I will not ship originals in a regular envelope, or without insurance in the united states. Since international insurance is expensive, it is not included unless requested, it will cost extra. The cost varies, for example, artwork valued at $100 shipped an 8.25"x10.5" package shipped in a Priority flat rate envelope costs about $16.85 to get to Northern Europe, contact me if you'd like international insurance and we can calculate it.

Shipping for Large prints (I will ship with ACEO prints and originals if you order both): $2.00 flat in a bubble mailer or cardboard mailer, includes insurance within the united states, if you're ordering originals with them. I will not ship originals in a regular envelope, or without insurance in the united states. Since international insurance is expensive, it is not included unless requested, it will cost extra. The cost varies, for example, artwork valued at $100 shipped an 8.25"x10.5" package shipped in a Priority flat rate envelope costs about $16.85 to get to Northern Europe, contact me if you'd like international insurance and we can calculate it.

I also have lots of mugs/magnets/post cards/etc available in my Zazzle store, for those who are interested.

Yuki Hakari ACEO commission

Just finished Arasi_Kitty's commission, I'm very happy with how it turned out <3

Her character Yuki Hakari, who is a nine tailed black panther/silver fox with fennec ears, and a dancer. It was fun to paint all those spots.

Big commission sale, limited slots!

I'm a few days away (at the most) from finishing the last of my commissions, so I thought I'd see if I could get a few more, since money's still kinda tight around here, and I'd like to be able to visit my family and friends at least once this spring before my boyfriend starts working almost every day and we lose our chance until August, which would suck because we haven't been able to visit since Fall.

So, for a little while, I'm taking $100 off my full color, large (about 8.5"x11", which is as big as I usually go right now) full background commissions.

Example 1

Example 2

These normally cost about $250, but for now they're $150. Something with a less complicated background, that would normally cost $200 (no example) would now cost only $100.

The only catch is, I get more or less complete artistic freedom, I can draw your character in whatever pose I want, in whatever environment I want, in my choice of either marker/multimedia or watercolor/multimedia. They will probably be in a jungle or on a funky alien planet, something organic and exotic, probably in the company of some funky dragons or other critters. I promise to draw your character as close to your references as possible, and not to draw them doing anything out of character/weird/whatever. Extra characters are $25 each, I will draw up to four characters in one painting. I don't charge extra for the random creatures I might throw in, they count as a part of the background.

I'm offering a similar deal on ACEOs, one character (usually waist or hip-up) plus a very detailed background for $30, normal price would be closer to $40 or so, depending on the complexity. Again, I get more or less full artistic freedom.

Example (older artwork)

Make sure you read my Commission terms, if you're not familiar with them.
