Description Trying to do some anime-looking art for the A-kon art show next month. This is one of those pieces. It's one of the VERY VERY few things this month that I've finished that hasn't been a steaming pile of crap. (Ha, steaming, see what I did there)... sure it's not the best ever and the pose and design are bland but hopefully I made up for that in color.

The artisan sculptor was not pleased with the little figure he had made for his client's clockwork, she was pleased by the client's response:

"MY GOD, THAT'S BRILLIANT WORK!"

heya amanda, i'm bugging you again.

our january event is themed "steampunk fairies" and i was wondering if we could borrow this image {with full credit to you and link to your DA} for the flier?

if you'd require monetary compensation, please don't hesitate to set your price! we love your art and would love to contribute to your livelihood {what we can}!

heya, i sent you a message on LJ, but i think you notice them here better ... so i'll try again.
my ex-husband and i are wondering if you're taking commissions for artwork. we run "ravenwood festival" in fayetteville, arkansas, and other goth and steampunk events all around the region, and are looking for someone to design art for our fliers, posters and other promotional materials.

if you're interested, drop me a line here or LJ and we can chat about it. if not, just let me know and i'll quit buggin' ya!

I would like to help you but not just yet. I'm moving next week and have no idea when I'll be settled in and ready to do any art.

allykatt In reply to shinga [2009-08-01 13:50:22 +0000 UTC]

no problem, hon. i know you've been swamped with the upcoming move.
i'll poke you later if we need something.
we already had fliers for the upcoming show - it's just some ... substandard art, which we're not really 100% satisfied with. but, it's functional for now.

This picture is absolutely gorgeous. I love the way you shaded her hair, and her dress is just stunning. The gears you used in the background and her wings also catch my eye, they do a wonderful job of reinforcing the steampunk theme.

No amount of words can convey how awesome this is.
Well done I'd give you a cookie, but I'm all out. Will an e-pat on the back suffice?
TOO BAD!

The colours are, indeed, gorgeous. I love the way the pattern creeps over her skin, too. And the wings! They look like two semitransparent membranes with cogs trapped between them, and the effect is awesome.
