The Cuteness!

Introducing...Faery Dragons!



These tiny little guys are the smallest dragons I've made yet, with their huge ear frills and extra long tails.  I made the first one and couldn't stop.  Good thing they're kinda cute, right?

 

Another unicorn.  I'm getting better, I think.  Trying to perfect my design.  Still not there yet, but it's getting closer.

And finally, I did this phoenix mostly as an experiment in mixing colors, trying to acheive that fiery look.  He turned out okay, but now that I know how to combine colors, the next one will be much better.

 

 

 

 

Which is your favorite?

Eternity Cure back cover (with Allie)

Okay, everyone.  Want to see Allie on the cover of The Eternity Cure?  I give you: the back cover and flaps.

 

 

I dunno about you, but I think Allie looks pretty fierce.  What are your thoughts?

 



Countdown till THE NEWS

As of today, Thursday, January 24th, we are four days away from THE NEWS.

What is THE NEWS, you ask?

I can't tell you that.  Not right now, anyway.  Suffice to say THE NEWS is this giant announcement I've been sitting on for over a month, waiting to share.  On Monday, January 28th, THE NEWS will finally be announced.

I'm uber excited, and I hope you will be too. 

See you on the 28th.

And yet even more clay creations

Lol, are we getting sick of chibi critters yet?


The newest renditions: PONIES.  Er...unicorns.




Little purple unicorn

Black and silver unicorn

Smooch!

Tried to do a Keirran chibi. Silver hair is hard! I like how he turned out, but I might also experiment with the design a bit. Thoughts?

And finally, while I was out on the deck, this tiny Asian dragon drifted down and perched on the post.                                                                        
 

 

 

 

My collection continues to grow.  Unicorns and dragons and chibis, oh my.

 

 

Keep creating!

More chibi critters

And yet more chibi creations



Gryphons!

So many people loved the little mint-chocolate chip dragon, I thought I would give him a friend. Meet my minty chocolate unicorn.

And finally. THIS guy. This guy took me all day. The pics aren't great, but his whole body is covered in individual strands of fur. It was a pain in the butt, but it was so worth it.




 So, presenting.... The Big Bad Wolf from Winter's Passage and Iron Knight!

Whew, yeah.  That was an ordeal.  I figured there are a few hundred little strands of clay fur covering this guy.  Oof.  But I think he has moved up to my official favorite. 



Still creating! More coming sooooon. :)

Chibi Dragons in clay

Sooo, more chibi clay creations.  Been on a dragon kick lately, so here are the clay creations I've done recently.



The 1st dragon attempt

Little red dragon

When I started this guy, I honestly did not intend to make him a chocolate mint dragon, complete with chocolate chip spikes down his back. But halfway through, I decided to go with it, hence my mint chocolate chip dragon. :P

This little guy is my favorite so far. His name is Cloud, and he took a looooong time to make. That mane, oy! But it was worth it, I think.

Okay, one more chibi pic. I finally did Meghan and Grim, so here is a shot of the whole gang together.

What should I make next?


Maybe...a chibi NARWHAL! (Inspired by my author friend Veshwab ;) )

Narwhal says "Hi Victoria."

Japan contest winners

A little while ago, Japan ran a super cool contest for the THE IRON KING, encouraging raders to put their artist skills to the test and draw something from the book.  I got to judge the winning entries, and it was really hard deciding between all the awesome artwork.  But check out the winners below:


Grand Prize winner.  The mind boggles.

  

 

 

 

First and second place winners.  The first one is hilarious; check out Puck and Grim's expressions at the bottom.  XD
