Northstar

I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately, so haven’t been doing much art outside of work. Here’s a recent commission for a friend of mine. The character is Northstar from the X-Men.

Textures from Budgie and various public domain sources.

Forgot to post this! More practice.

Needle Felting – Mystery Rodent

Chelsea Conlin — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 14:42:07 +0000

I got a needle felting book from my mom, so I bought some basic supplies and tried it out. It’s really fun and interesting so far. It seems like one of those things that’s easy to learn but difficult to master. This is my first real attempt at making something – he’s about 3″ tall and sort of a marmot/ermine hybrid, I guess? ;P

Is what horses say. And here are some simple horse sketches. And yes, I’m one of those girls who drew horsies and unicorns and pegasuses all day long for years and years and still hasn’t gotten sick of them. Click ‘em to see full-size.

Newfiepalooza 2011

Chelsea Conlin — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 02:15:31 +0000

Recently I did a charity commission for the North Central Newfoundland Club, which works to preserve the breed and bring Newfie owners together. They also have a Newfoundland Rescue page. Each year they hold an event called Newfiepalooza, and they asked me to design the 2011 T-shirt and web logo:

SB Project: Sketch 40

Chelsea Conlin — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 00:59:36 +0000

This is the last one, and it’s a very tiny tribute of sorts to The Decemberists. I explained the relationship between my Sketchbook Project theme and the band in a previous post.

I should be able to get to the post office to mail the book back to the Arthouse Co-op tomorrow or Friday.

Birds – Feather Studies

Some sketches from tonight to practice bird anatomy. The information in the colored feather study is largely copied from this extremely useful tutorial by Cedarseed on deviantArt. Click the sketches to enlarge them.

Kudzu is a Japanese plant that was introduced to the United States in 1876 and has since been dubbed “the vine that ate the South”. According to Wikipedia it’s been spreading at a rate of 150,000 acres a year. Kudzu has been used to prevent erosion and improve topsoil quality, but unfortunately it grows so well in the southern US that it out-competes virtually all other plants, destroying the biodiversity of areas it infests.

Harvest Mites, or Trombiculid Mites, are sometimes called chiggers, but should not be confused with Chigoe Fleas, which can potentially do a lot more damage to their hosts. In their larval stage these tiny red mites create holes in the skin of their hosts using digestive enzymes. They then feed on the exposed inner skin, causing irritation and swelling. After feeding they drop off and mature into adults. Harvest Mites are potential vectors for a number of diseases.

I’ve had to do a number of animal studies recently for my work with Feytouched Studios. I don’t know that I’d ever draw a bear before, and don’t have much practice with eagles or ruminants, so these were all good learning experiences. The bottom right one is basically what one of the finished emblems will be, after I refine and color it, of course.

Tunga penetrans, also known as the Chigoe Flea, jigger, and sometimes chigger, are nasty little things. Not to be confused with chiggers (harvest mites, which will be coming up in a couple pages) in temperate areas, Chigoe Fleas are endemic to the tropics – particularly South and Central America and the Caribbean. They parasitize mammals, including humans, and are usually found on feet and sometimes hands. Females start out much slimmer than this, but once they find a suitable host, they burrow under the skin, leaving a small hole though which they breathe and get rid of excrement. Feeding on the host’s blood, the female will get larger as eggs develop inside her. Growing up to a centimeter across beneath the host’s skin causes terrible discomfort. In some places, people’s feet are so full of Chigoe Flea sores that they cannot walk. Eventually the female lays her eggs and they fall to the ground to hatch and grow into new fleas. She will die and be sloughed off with the host’s skin.
