Ericka's Art Update Log from 2005.
Things have been super busy, but I found time to finish an older sketch (at the insistance of my Pixie.) I'll just leave him for viewing as he's not a particular favorite. Maybe I'll put him for sale next week. His name is Betrayed... for lack of anything better.
I'm a few days late with this, but better late than never. Vampirita, the little Vampire bat, Probably the end of the Gothic Lolita series, which was fun for a while.
You can purchase Vampirita here!
Have a Magical HALLOWEEN!!!
7th in the Gothic Lolita series, Hado Madrino-- the little Fairy Godfather. I just couldn't resist doing this nonsensical anti-fairy, with his blue top hat and dandy tuxedo, he's my new favorite character.
6th in the Gothic Lolita series: Gatita, the little kitty girl. I think this has turned out to be Alex's favorite. =^.^= Miau.
5th in the Gothic Lolita series, Amado de la Muerte. (Beloved of Death) I hadn't intended to do any more boys but I just couldn't resist doing this little Vampire.
4th in the Gothic Lolita series is finally here. Alex named her Luna Roja (Blood Moon.)
Luna Roja is available for purchase here!
Some cool new items such as gothic switch plates are out! Check it out!
Another one of my favorite characters, Jonathon Morris as Ash the Music Lover, from the Vampire Journals. Morris has one of the most beautiful faces I think (not to mention hair, haha.) He is the archetype of who I would like to look like as a man.
Ash can be viewed in large format PNG here. (Fan Art again-- not for Sale)
I don't do much fan art anymore, but how can I resist my all-time favorite character, Mr. Willy Wonka from Roald Dahl's wonderful books. This is, of course, the Johnny Depp Wonka. (You can still seen my old Gene Wilder Wonka fan art here.)
I had fun with his cane and hair, listening to the Charlie & The Chocolate Factory Soundtrack all the while. (Gotta love the Oompa Loomp's new songs!) Both the new and old will always be my two favorite films. ^.^ As it is fan art I cannot sell it, so that wonderful magician, Willy Wonka, is available for viewing here in large format PNG.
Every Fairy Godfather needs a Fairy Godmother-- and here she is! The Model for this was my own Personal Fairy.
Or you may purchase Both Fairy Godparents together HERE!
Finally, the 3rd Gothic Lolita, Cruz Oscura. (Dark Cross) Enjoy.
You can purchase CRUZ OSCURA here!
As promised, the second Gothic Lolita: Bella Muerte. This one is the companion to Lolito and, as Lolito is based on Alex, I did this for him, and it is based on me. (Loosely, Haha!) Alex is the one that insisted on the Tiara. ^.~*
I am sure her song would be anything by Malice Mizer. ^.^
You can purchase BELLA MUERTE here!
It's been a couple of crazy weeks (as usual) so stuff is delayed. So, this is what I am working on, a face portrait of the Fairy Godfather which is for a project I am working on. (Yes, I am enjoying blue hair as you can see. ^.~)
It's not finished and so not for sale.
His song? Eiffel 65-- I'm Blue (da ba de da ba da...Haha)
The Artist and his Fairy Muse. Something quite a bit lighter and romantic to suit the mood. The title eluded me for a while but I decided to name it after the tulips in the forefront and on his lapel. They are a hybrid tulipa viridilora called "Artist." My dear Fairy, sent me photos of this flower that she had taken from her home in the Netherlands. She said the name made her think of me. (Thank you!)
The songs were many for this. Maybe, perhaps, Enya: Caribbean Blue.
You can purchase THE ARTIST here.
The sexiest Gunner's Mate I ever did see. She captured me one day and forced me to paint her portrait at sword-point. I was paid in Spanish coins. (The model for this was my Piratess, who wishes to remain in the shadows.) Being Spanish, I gave her a gaucho hat and flamenco inspired costume. I had a blast with this and it was fun to paint someone with a little color for a change. The Piratess on a raid for booty, I'd really give it up if I were you. Trust me, you don't wanna messs with her! *winks*
You can purchase Booty Call Here!
This is a new series for which I will hopefully have a new one every week or so. Started last year, he is the first. Gothic Lolito, the little Grim Reaper. (The model, of course, Alex again.) I'd wanted to unveil them all at once but I have too many projects at the moment. (One of them getting my beloved hearse, OsCar Wylde, back on the road again after this harsh winter! YAY!)
So here he is. You can purchase GOTHIC LOLITO HERE.
Why should women have all the fun? Meet The Fairy Godfather! This fairy makes sure the carriage has white walls, that the prince looks spiffy and that Cinderella ALWAYS makes it home before midnight (and no excuses, young Lady!) I had tremendous fun with this, especially the costume (wingtip shoes and all) The cape/wings are based on moth wings which I thought would look a bit better on him being a man, as well as go better with this costume. The inspiration for this piece was my favorite Fairy, the bright sunflower of my life, Lori and so it's my gift to her.
The song for this is: Lori, don't go right now-- Al Stewart.
Finally finished THE CONDUCTOR: the creator of music. I had started him before I was ill. He was meant to be entered into the Hygienic Art Show, but in the end I was too sick to attend and he remained unfinished for months. The model for this was my husband, Alex, who is a composer in his free time. The Conductor is very campy as I had originally made it for the show. I loved working on his costume and hair. In the end I think I am going to add him as the first in a triptych of the Three Muses-- maybe that will be shown next year.
The song for him is Moi Dix Mois: Vizard.
Sort of a redo of Blue Tears. He might end up in another project I am working on. It's sort of a 2005 version of Gardenia, only this time it is male and not female. The gardenia was just a sneaky way of showing off this neat antique ring I saw and just had to add to his pinky. He's just called "Vampire" at the moment, for lack of a better name.
The song for him is: Dubstar: St Swithin's Day.
His name is BLUE TEARS and you can purchase stuff with him here.
