Description Guh, so proud of this!

All twelve Greek Zodiac signs from Aries to Pisces. Not sure if I'll make bookmarks with these considering my previous attempt was a major fail, but I will surely keep it in mind for when I grow a business sense.

Eventually I'd like to attempt to make the Chinese Zodiac and perhaps even a Tarot deck, but this will have to wait until my art and patience improves (although MAYBE I'll attempt the second Zodiac near the end of summer because I tend to get bored easily).

All pieces were done on 9"x18" Canson paper using soft pastel. Minor edits such as colour and tone correction where done using Photosohop.

This looks awesome. I like the project, well done on describing the colours, minerals and 'object'? Either way, great job!

Oh man, this project was SO FUN. Frustrating at times, but fun. (also I lol at the fact that I said I MIGHT get it done before the end of June and here I get it done in a bit more than a week, HAH).

LOL so true. Well, I'm proud of you. I would consider doing it if a series didn't take so long. Photoshop takes quite a while to do so I don't like to start one. Same with sculpting. I seriously NEED to draw all my characters again. Give them each a sheet. THAT'S what I'll do. Fuck if I can't get that done then I can't get anything done

You definitely should do that! That's sort of a series in itself though. Think you'll be able to manage it (without getting bored lololol)?

And I have to admit too, I'd be interesting in seeing a series of more than 4 things from you. I guess I just like seeing how artists 'tweek' each of their pieces in a series. It's neat.

Yeah I'll try doing my characters. I get bored super fast though, so if I don't get it done now I'll def def draw them at LEAST once throughout the 100 themes challenge.

I'd have to find something else to do a series. Perhaps I will draw my characters in pairs. I think imma do it

OH that's what you meant by pairs. LAWLZ. Having conversations in two places just makes this shit-awkward. But I'm looking forward to it! I've also been thinking of doing a pairing picture. I haven't decided if I'll just do two separate pictures or what. A large piece of paper won't fit on my board so this'll be interesting.

This is very cool! I think you should go for bookmarks, I can see a market there.
Great work.

Drakarus In reply to Bashlomi [2012-06-01 19:58:24 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Perhaps I'll make some designs for the bookmarks (more obvious than this) and make a poll about it to see about the buying interest!
