Club High Castle Pre-Pandemic

I can't believe that October is almost over already! For once, I'm excited about Monday. They are letting us dress up for Halloween, complete with a potluck lunch. I'm bringing some candy so that I can get in on the goodie goodness. I'm going as a Jedi, sans the light saber (they have a strict "no weapons or fake weapons" policy). This was a creative month for me! Back to 2001 - Full version Itty Bitty House - Different angle, acrylic on canvas As seen in the previous update : I, Bester - Full version I, Ivanova - Full version Previews for November! Pepper - I guess this counts for both a preview and a drawing! I am going to paint this on canvas and give it to a friend at work for her birthday. I, Talia - This will be Talia Winters from Babylon 5 once painted and completed.

I've spent the past two Sunday afternoons working on what is now becoming a Sunday afternoon tradition for me. Who needs to buy miniature dolls when you can paint them yourself? Pick the fandom, and presto! I, Bester - Full version I, Ivanova - Full version

I’m trudging through a nasty cold right now, but the rest of this month has been fabulous. Disclaimer for the Babylon 5 fan art: Babylon 5 (c) J. Michael Straczynski. I did not create that universe, and nor do I own it. Remember this? I completed the digital version! Full/Large version “End Game” – based off of a Babylon 5/Psi Corps RP I was a part of. “Dream the Stars” – A watercolor painting I did just for fun Preview I’m always striving to improve my skills, so here is the sketch version of something that I will digitalize in October. Books read 8/3 – I finally completed All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque. It was an emotional book. There were instances where I had to put it down for weeks at a time. It was an excellent book, five stars. A warning: it is a heartbreaking read.

Oh my! August was such a hot month! I’ve been taking strides to get rid of the unwanted sort of busy, so for the month of August, I have had plenty of time to do what I enjoy most! What is old is new I wanted to clean up my old digital art technique; I used this month to play around with it. The three samples below show my progression as the month went on, and I am absolutely thrilled with how the third one came out! I first drew the pictures on paper, snapped pictures of them, and then uploaded them onto my computer. I did the “digitalizing” in photoshop. You can view full, larger versions of these on my DA account (I’ve included the links). Since they are all Babylon 5 related, I’ll just put the disclaimer here: Babylon 5 (c) J. Michael Straczynski. I did not create that universe, and nor do I own it. Full/Large version “Walking in the Park” - Based off of a short fanfic I wrote Remember this sketch in my previous post? Full version “Prelude” ...
