Quick late night posting today…..
I just squeezed an entry for ConceptArt.org CHOW this week…the topic was Steampunk Harem. Mixing two conflicting styles. Ripper topic! So many entries. And I bit off WAY more than I could chew! The way I envisioned this was so different. I’ve learnt a lot from this exercise…mostly to plan even the tiniest details from the beginning. I wish I had more time…but I’m thoroughly over this…but I like one of my original sketches, so I might paint that in PS just for play and to see how I go.
Hope you like! Even though I am very MEH about it.

Night!

Hi All!
This week I will be getting my hair done. Red. The idea has been floating in the back of my mind for quite some time now…and I’ve made a few attempts to do the colouring myself. But after a few unsuccessful attempts, I’m going to the pros.
What finally cemented the idea was stumbling across this wonderful photo on wedding blog, Snippet and Ink (no….there are no pending marriages around here, I just like the dresses teehehe). What an awesome bride! How cool to have hair like that! It’s the perfect colour. I loved this pose so much that I had to draw it straight away. Of course my rendition is quite different. But you get the idea.
This:

Became this:

I’m really liking ‘eyes shut’ kind of poses right now. I like the serenity and calm in general. Something that can be hard to draw!
SO…Thursday my hair will be red. Hopefully just this colour. Or maybe a shade darker. I can’t wait! I promise you will have photos! 
Ciao!
