Oh, The Things I Will Art!

   I thought it was long enough from my last update that you all would be wondering what I've been up to recently. I've been a very busy little bee lately. I just finished another picture, which is up in my Cafepress store, and I've started coloring two more pictures.
   The first picture, which I haven't figured out a title for yet, is similar to my "Blossoming Geisha". It's centered around another geisha, who's dressed all in blue, and instead of a koi fish, she's partnered with a Japanese crane. There's also bamboo and flowers in the background. I'm really liking the way she's turning out. A few people have even said she might be better than the first geisha. Not sure if I agree yet, but only time can tell.
   The second picture, also unnamed at the moment, is part of my steam-punk series. As I've mentioned in earlier posts, I'm going to do a trilogy of steam-punk pictures, the first being "Clockwork Sniper". This newest installment is more pirate-y than the last, but she's looking really hot. I went more punk with the Sniper, but this one is definitely more steam. She's kind of a cyborg pirate and I'm loving her. I hope you all will too.

   I'm also working on a few other pieces, but they're not ready to put into the computer to be colored just yet. I have two rocker chicks(Working title so far is "Party Like a Rockstar"), a ninja, a fallen angel(dubbed "Grounded"), and a cybernetic girl. I'll give more details on them at a later date, when I have them closer to finished. So, keep an eye out for any new art and I'll keep you all posted.

Seeing Stars

So, it's no secret that I absolutely love stars. I'm not entirely sure when my obsession with the little five-pointed shape began, but it's gotten worse over the past several years. Obviously it was meant to be though, considering Star is my middle name. My love of stars was destiny! :P
Anywhooooos, the point I was trying to make is that, because I love stars soooo much, I have a few new star-themed images to show you.

The first picture is titled "Celestial Eclipse". I'm as fond of the Moon as I am of stars so of course I couldn't resist putting the two together. The colors are a little bright, but I like the whole neon-feel it gives to the piece. I would like to eventually get a tattoo of this image, but I'd change the colors a little, maybe more silver and golds instead of pink and purple. But for the picture (and all the merchandise at cafepress.com/starlightillustrations just waiting for you to give them a nice home) the colors do very nicely.

 The second image was an idea given to me by my sister. I was trying to figure out what to do as my logo. I wanted something simple and was drawing a complete blank when she said, "If it's Starlight, why not do a lightbulb that looks like a star?" Those weren't her exact words of course, my memory is horrible so I couldn't remember the actual quote, but that was the gist of it. I was intrigued by the idea and drew what you see here. I really liked it, but I didn't feel it could to the job of my logo so I went back to the drawing board. What I finally came up with was the picture I posted awhile back and is the second post, I believe, in my blog, if you wanted to check it out.
As always, all of the images I post and/or mention are in my Cafepress store, so if you fall in love with any of them, you can get a t-shirt, messenger bag, hat, or whatever you want with your favorite image on them. Here's the link -_-> cafepress.com/starlightillustrations
If none of the images I've posted so far pique your interest, I'm always willing to do commission work. If you want a piece specially made for you, or someone you know, just send a message to my gmail account ---> starlightillustrations@gmail.com or find me on Facebook.
