Hi hi!
So, making progress on this painting- I think I have decided to call her "Fool's Blood"...at least, that is the working title. Here she is with some color in her skin:
And here with some background colors:
At this point, all the base colors are in there, I just have many more layers and details to get in there...I am hoping to have her finished up by early March. Dang, that is such a long time for me!! Also, again, my apologies for the crumtastic photos :/
Now, onto some other things...
FIRST! I am having a Birthday Sale in my etsy shop- Darkling Treasures etsy shop turns FIVE!! Celebrate with me- here is a 25% off coupon code for you- UROCKROCK - use it at checkout, save monies! (lasts until March 1 at 12am EST)

A new small painting- "Gossamer(maid) has swum out of my head and onto canvas for you to see! She is a small 7" x 5" piece, in lots of flowing layers of acrylic paint...there are even two jellyfish watching her explore! This piece is a bit more abstract that I usually work, but I like her. She is currently available for adoption via eBay auction- check out the link below her picture for all the info:
Of course, I always have a HANDFUL of art listed for auction on eBay...You can see all the pieces on one page by clicking HERE!
I have been sketching up a small storm of pretty ladies and other random things...Not exactly sure what I am going to do with them all...I was considering some sort of "sketch adoption" which would also be a great way to get a custom Emily piece without me actually having to go full scale commission. Hmmm...hmmm...More thinking is to be done on this subject :)
So...I guess that's about all for now. I'll be back soon, hopefully with a finished painting ;)
xo!

Oh you guys...
Apart from my current "climbing-out-of-a-rut" state, I have some new art to share...A brand new jester pin up, a little fairy ACEO painting, and another older collage piece, too!
First, the newest jester(ess)! I have a weak spot for all kinds of sorbet, raspberry in particular, so I thought I'd give a shout out to one of my favorite desserts with a pin up :) The title for this one is simply "Raspberry Sorbet" as I have not been feeling all that clever or witty of late...But at least it brings Prince's song to mind. She is a beautiful blond jester, sensually spooning a frozen scoop of raspberry sorbet into her mouth. She's even got a raspberry tattoo! This piece is available as 8" x 10" limited edition prints through my darklingemily etsy shop- just visit the link below her picture to see more details and such:

Also brand new- "Spring Butterflies"- and ACEO original painting! This little 2.5" x 3.5" artwork is up for auction on eBay, starting at just 99 cents (with free shipping)! To see more detailed pictures of this little fairy and her butterflies, read her blurb, and even make a bid, please visit the link below her picture:

And one last piece for today- this one is an older mixed media collage. "A Small Seat" features a pretty, wide eyed fairy resting on a toadstool after hours of flying around. This piece is a 5" x 7" collage, with lots of different media- feathers, paints, inks, thread, sparklie things...These mixed media pieces look lovely framed- like little windows into magical lands. She is up for auction on eBay, with a 99 cent starting bid (free shipping, too)! To see the listing, details, and make a bid, please visit the link below the picture:

Of course there is a handful of my other art up for auction on eBay, so if you would like to see everything in one place, just click here! As far as I know, everything is still inder $5, many pieces have no bids yet, so you could get something for quite a steal!
For those of you who like to make digital tags and stuff, some of my art is now available as tubes for you to play with! Many thanks to MyTagart for allowing me the opportunity to join their wonderful selection of artists- to see what they have available as far as my art goes, please click here! :) There is also more on the way...
So, as aforementioned, I am working my way out of a bit of a funk. It is not so much an inspiration problem as a motivational one- something I am not very familiar with and prefer not to be- ever. The pictures pile up in my head and in my numerous sketch books, but I seem to be having trouble getting them generated into actual art. I am blaming the beautiful weather and my multitude of work to get done in the gardens...Lots of yardwork to do, good stuff, but tiring! But for now, I am off to motivate and get my latest dragon painting worked on a bit more- there are work in progress photos up in my album on Facebook here if you would like to come by and see :)
xo!

It's raining, so I spent all day painting and cleaning :)
I have two new eBay auctions up- both of them are ACEO originals. This one is a new piece- "Float" is an original acrylic dragon painting (2.5" x 3.5" on canvas). He appears to be floating lazily through a dream- this piece was, in fact, loosely based on a recurring dream I had as a child. To read more, see detail pictures, and even make a bid ( he starts at just 99 cents with free shipping!) visit the link below his picture:

The other auction is an older collage piece of mine- "Sweet Stare" is a small blond-ish mermaid beauty, and she is just staring at you. Many feathers, hand made papers, paints, and inks in this little work of art make it very special and magical :) She is also up for a 99 cent starting bid with free shipping. To see details and make a bid, please follow the link below her picture:

So, been working on finishing up the final custom painting from my recent giveaway. It is a Wonderland themed piece, featuring the Cheshire Cat offering Alice some growth-inducing cookies! There are work in progress photos up on my Facebook Fanpage here if you are interested in viewing the process and the painting so far :).
Also getting a new sexy jester piece going- this one has cherries! And some smaller paintings and ACEOs :) I will be posting those later on in the week, so stay tuned!
xo!
