Lines and Pixels

Some of my recent art work ~

I would show the inspiration for these two ladies, but I don’t have one particular picture.  Rather the idea for them grew from vintage inspired tattoo art mixed with vintage pattern illustrations and finally, a picture I drew a while ago of a Japanese courtier.    Random mix no? 

But it produced something I am quite pleased with.  I want to try to paint these with acrylics, but I have to figure a way to get my line art onto canvas without spending a fortune.  I think that tracing might be my best bet.  I shall have to experiment.  

Sorry for the huge watermarks, but I really can’t risk these pictures getting stolen.  So although I know it’s not going to stop determined art thieves, I sure hope that it’s enough to deter them considering that I do not think that any one would particularly want to steal these anyway!

I drew all these pictures while in Perth, and I wanted to show you, but had to wait until I got home and could scan them.   I haven’t drawn any more line art since I got home, but I have coloured the last picture:

And finally, a bit of fun.  

If you follow me on Twitter, you might have seen my Tweet about how I have not done any pixel art in forever and I wanted to do some thanks to Cherri Drop from Pink Padded Cell.   She did these cute as dividers and backgrounds ~

To see more of her pixel art go here.  I was inspired and drew Ichi~chan and animated him!  It was great to get back to some pixel art and I had fun doing it.

So that wraps up my latest artistic shenanigans; if you are interested in prints of any of my work, or would like to talk about commissioning me to do a specific piece of work for you, please contact me at bonita@bdotdepictions.com.
