Happy times with Luna and Ricky

I have two little friends at home now- Ricky, and now Baby Luna.


Luna, (aka Squeak, aka the Demon Fox, aka Fartbomb), and her brother Ricky (aka Dragon Face, aka Little Fish, aka BabyCat). I was worried about bringing a new kitten into the house since I know how territorial cats can be, but it only took a couple days for them to accept one another. Luna is super little though, so she has to live in the kitchen when I'm no home to supervise their playing together. Even though kittens are fun, I want her to grow up a little bigger soon so she can play with Ricky a little more!



What kind of animal is this?? Kitten? Fox? Squirrel? She has a funny look, this one. She's very pretty, but sometimes she looks like other animals. Ricky has the same trait- sometimes he looks like a werewolf, sometimes a bat...right now he looks like a seal pup.

I decided to name her Luna after a fictional character that I really like, although there are other reasons "Luna" is a good name for her...it's a pretty name, there's the cute kitty from Sailor Moon named Luna, and also, her little grey crescent shaped head looks like the moon. But here is the Luna she's named after:

I hope there's pudding...

Not a very good likeness, but Luna Lovegood is hard to draw! If you aren't a Harry Potter nerd like me, you won't know who I'm talking about. Luna is a lovely character. She's an oddball loner type who is happy to be the way she is, regardless of what others think. In the movies, she's played by Evanna Lynch, who does a wonderful job playing her.


She has a really wonderful dreamy personality. Her sort of weird but pleasant nature reminds me of my own Luna, who is curled up on my desk as I write this. In a little while she'll wake up and make some tribble noises until I pat her between her too far apart ears.



These are the first Luna sketches...her face is really hard to capture! Has anyone else out there tried to draw her?



I love at the end of the 5th movie when she gets all beat up. She's so pale though...the blood looks creepy! I didn't really get this look right either. Sometimes I have to do like 50 drawings before I can sort of figure out how to draw someone.



Some more weird kitty doodles. I gotta practice drawing animals more.

Something dumb!


I'll end this with cuteness...Luna and her funny little squirrel knuckles:



P.S. Things are really happy right now. I'm hoping to get lots of drawings done soon, so come back soon! :)

Painting from March

I found this today in my bookshelf and had completely forgotten it. I like it, but after just reading Jolies Tenebres (thanks Brandy for finding it for me!), my attempt at cute pixie types feels a bit lacking. Ah well! I'm pretty happy I actually completed it.



I'm not sure what to do with this. I could sell it on Etsy, but I don't think many people are buying art nowadays because of the crappy economy. Maybe I'll get it framed and put it up for sale anyhow.

Here are some closeups of the little boxes:

(the actual paintings are a lot smaller than the images here, so forgive the sloppy parts!)

Oh in case people ask, this is me painting on top of a piece of scrapbook paper that I found.

Well, my last board for the Mighty B is due Wednesday, so I gotta get back to work now. Happy things are gonna happen soon though, so actual new art will be up in a bit.
