Mother Of Dragons

We had a great new (to us) model for last night, Catherine Weiss, taking on the Mother of Dragons character from Game of Thrones. She's so tall I had problems fitting her on the page! Thanks Catherine.

Rebel Rebel

Marissa Gomez ably playing the part of a teen in trouble, a rockabilly rebel, a greaser gal. Etc. In the color piece, she watches tearfully as her sweetheart strolls off with the head cheerleader. Catfight! Thanks Marissa!

La Dolce Vita

Stacy Walker was great as usual for our Fellini theme, all the right accessories and attitude. The Nino Rota soundtrack was really inspiring as well. We were transported to a film set in 1960s Italy. Ciao!

Apocalypse Warrior

Stacy Walker was our intrepid Apocalypse Warrior a few months back, she came with an amazing assortment of weapons and costume bits to save the world. Thanks Stacy! Who knew the end would come courtesy of giant flying electrically-charged jellyfish? Apparently she did, she looks supremely confident. Workshop sketch and full color rendering done later.

Very Fashionable

Daniella Traub was our fab fashion model last night in a 30s / 40s costume. Always very elegant and can hold those poses forever. Thanks Daniella!

Sketch-o-rama

Here are a few from last night, the lovely Debra Haden in Victorian finery (Sherlock Holmes-y) and a bunch of figure drawings from some older sketchbooks I rediscovered.

Tank Girl!

What else do you need to say? Tank Girl rocks. Xine was our model and really brought it. That mohawk shows real commitment! Thanks Xine!

Shiver Me Timbers!

Stacy Walker was fantastic last week as the Pirate Queen, great costume with lots of detail-y bits to draw. Here are a couple that I spent some extra clean up time later since there was too much to fit into a 20 to 30 minute sketch. Thanks Stacy!

Mrs. Peel, We're Needed!

We had a great 2 model set up last night with John and Rosie as Steed and Emma Peel, the original 60's Avengers. We ran the poses longer so we weren't overwhelmed by trying to get in all the information from 2 models. Lots of Petula Clark music for inspiration! Thanks John and Rosie for your hard work!

Black Widow

We had our first session with Amina Santana a couple of weeks back, she did an excellent job with Black Widow from the Avengers.

Starlet

The lovely Larva as a sparkly starlet complete with boa and cigarette holder. Thanks Larva!

The Woodland Fairy

Here's another one from workshop sketch to finished art. Sara Streeter as a woodland fairy. Okay, I admit this one got a bit corny, but the pose seemed to suggest that approach. Hope fairies are immune to deer ticks! Thanks Sara!

Poor Little Fishy!

Marissa Gomez posed for us a month or 2 ago in a great sailor girl costume. One of the drawings I did inspired me to try a more finished calendar piece ala Gil Elvgren, the king of pin up. It needed a gag, so I added the little fish and the hungry seagulls. Anyway, I think it worked pretty well. Thank Marissa!

Dangerous and Delicate

One more Derby piece featuring Stacy Walker, ready to rumble, and the next week we had Debra Haden in an elegant showgirl outfit. We love variety!
