The book will not be finished and the Klimt painting I spoke of in the last post will not be completed. The person the book was for was also the model for the painting, and after a recent turn of events she hates me. I guess that happens. So no more of those. I do have some paintings comin out soon so keep and eye out.

Faery Tale Preview
A brief synopsis:
It is about a girl named Annabelle, and she is a right snot. She wishes to be somewhere else, and so this demon named Juxaler comes and makes a deal with her. She has to make it to the top of wooden castle with a locket called the "Orchid of Destiny". If she makes it she can be a princess, but if she fails then the demon gets to eat her soul.

So those will be getting inked and colored as soon as I finish the other pages. I am glad I took a book binding class in college. It should look awesome, and I have always wanted to make a book of my own faery tale.
Here is a random drawing that I did after that:
I should start prelim drawings and color test for the Klimt recreation as soon as the model sends me the picture. It should look awesome when I am finished. I have been listening to Wagner's Das Rheingold and I must say it is very good drawing and painting music.

And Love Bit you in the throat
The painting is gonna be 10 x 10. It is based on a line from a Blood Brothers' song, "And Love bit you in the throat". It always reminds me of singing ships for some reason so one is gonna be sinking in the background. That sketch of it is very rough. Here is the part of the song that the line is from:
I also played around with something for a possible later painting. It doesn't look like I wanted it too, but I can fix that. I just need to practice a bit more.
For my big painting I am waiting on the model to take the pictures, and then I will start with that. I am really excited for that one, because the idea and the model are both really good. Wait til you see it.

Post script and crooked lines
This is what I imagine my loneliness looks like right now, but I could be wrong. Originally I was gonna call it "Rest Well Under Mother's Warm Wings", but now I am gonna call it "Dali's Ecstasy after cast Gala from the Cliff"
Tori then asked me to draw a tea party gone wrong. I couldn't think of anything really except for this. It might just be wrong. Hahah. I can't wait to start my painting. I think it will take my mind off of things.

Just some stuff I did today
The first one was me playing around with the watercolor. She is very fleshy and Rubeneste. I like her a lot. My watercolors are basically me drawing with water. Everything is very sketchy and multi-directional.
The second one I was playing around with color and the medium. It reminds me of Matisse, but again. I was just playing around. I have no real desire to do anything with watercolor ever, except play around. It seems kind of funny to me that my favorite artist used the two things I like to use the least the most. Ohh Egon, you saucy man, you.
Then I just sketched a little bit in preparation for the sketches for my next painting.

Facelift
The next piece is based on the Terrordactyls' song "Facelift". I did it in a traditional portrait style with a solid background. The body is shifted to the left side of the wood, because I wanted to put her there. There is heavy amounts of impasto in her skin and hair. This is the first painting that I have done start to finish in one day.
Here are some sketches:

Body Sketches in preparation for my next painting:
That being said my next painting is going to be the largest one I have ever done. It is also gonna be the first painting that I am doing for myself to keep (I have never kept any of my own paintings.) I am excited about it, and you will probably see tons of prelim sketches and studies here.

Fuck it or fight it. Its all the same.
These will be the last sketches I post on here for a while. I am sure you guys are getting sick of them.
Notes on the Facelift painting
There are three people I have trouble getting anywhere near close to drawing their face right. The hardest is the one person I need to know how to draw for the painting I wanna do for my favorite South Carolina girl for here birthday. It is a ways away, but I will not paint it I don't have her face near perfect. I have been drawing her every day for three months. Today's will be the only ones you guys will see, because the other ones are awful. These aren't too much better. Her eyes play games with my head.
Original Idea
Face one
Face Two
Two more weeks and I will figure out where I am going wrong. I just hate the fact that I can't draw certain people.
Random Sketches
I'll post some more when I finish my virgin mary painting. Maybe.

I need someone a person to talk too, Someone who cares and loves, could it be you?
It pisses me off more than anything when I can't draw people.
"Fuck, I can't draw her"
I also erased her like 100 times before I just quit.
Here are some sketches for the next painting I want to do. It is roughly based on this song. Download and listen it is fantastic.

Here are some prelim sketches. Which mouth do you like? The pen drawings and the pencil drawings have different style mouths.
