Back from Sweden!

After some adventures in Sweden, I'm now back home. Hopefully I'll start drawing more again and posting stuff in here, so stay tuned! :)

Hiatus + Birthday

There's been a serious lack of posts lately, and I apologise for that! I'm currently abroad and won't be back until December 27th, which is pretty much one of the reasons I haven't really been active with the blog (the other is that I've been quite busy with work).

So, I'll be pretty much on hiatus until after the holidays. That being said, merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) and happy new year in advance!


Also, it's my birthday today, woohoo! :)

IF - Beneath / La Niña Fea

Illustration for this week's Illustration Friday. This time I used an picture I already had, since it fit the theme.

This illustration is based on a short story by Ana María Matute called "La Niña Fea" ("The Ugly Girl"), which you can read here (only in Spanish though, I haven't been able to find an English version, sorry!)

WIP - Masei vs the Demon Queen

I've been kinda busy lately... and this is a part of one of the pics I'm currently working on (the actual one is much bigger and has more things in it) :) It's another illustration for my friend's fantsy book, and I'm having a lot of fun with it! I just love painting clouds.

The Surgeon

This 'lovely' fellow here is someone that appeared in a dream I had recently. He was quite a nasty one, chasing me around with that dirty scalpel... but then I shot him down with a machine gun and all was nice and good again 8D

I just felt like I wanted to draw him, for some reason...


UPDATE: This pic has been featured on Absent Willow, an online magazine for short fiction. You can check out my pic (as well as many other pics by awesome artists!) here :D

Rebirth

In some cultures, butterflies are a symbol of rebirth.

Another 'Word of the day' :)

My Etsy store on Facebook!

Hi everyone! I finally gave into temptation and made a Facebook fan page for my Etsy store. Feel free to check it out!

Also, if any of you have any tips, I'd really appreciate it... I'm a complete noob when it comes to Facebook :P And, of course, feel free to share your own pages too!

IF - Dessert

Des(s)ert

My entry for this week's Illustration Friday :)

Nightmare (commission)

An illustration for a fantasy book a friend of mine is currently writing. This is Nightmare, a fearsome assassin :)

End

The death of a star.

Another 'word of the day'.

I thought I'd draw a similar theme as in the Beginning pic, seeing how both words are related.

IF - Immovable

Immovable (adj.)

Incapable of being influenced by feeling; emotionless

This week's entry for Illustration Friday.

Beginning

This is where stars are born...

Another 'word of the day' picture. I used a picture of one of my boyfriend's lovely cats as a reference :)

IF - Atmosphere

Chasing the marine sun...

My entry for this week's Illustration Friday. This time I sort of took inspiration from one of my favourite book series ever, The Death Gate Cycle, and one of its wonderful worlds: one in which the whole planet is comprised of water, in which people inhabit inside the durnai, living creatures that constantly follow its underwater sun.

Also, I think I love drawing jellyfish... :)

Hello Kitty!

A birthday present for my um... niece-in-law? I'm bad at those family terms. Anyway, she likes Hello Kitty and flowers, so I thought I'd sort of combine the two... :)

This is what happens when I'm bored

The little ear-butterflies fly around all day looking for the eye-flowers and their sweet, ocular fluids. Their ear wings keep them constantly alert for possible predators.

IF: Star Gazing

Star(fish) gazing

Another entry for Illustration Friday's weekly challenge.

WIP - Nightmare

WIP of an illustration for a friend's book (this screenshot doesn't show the whole picture, though). Meet Nightmare the assassin.

IF: Caged

...Who is the caged one?

My first entry ever for Illustration Friday's weekly challenge. This week's theme is 'Caged'.

First post

After months of thinking about it, I've finally opened my blog. This will mostly be a place for me to post doodles and other things I come across the way :)

So, to whoever's reading this, welcome to the snail lair ('cargoleta' means 'little female snail' in Catalan, my language) and hopefully you'll enjoy what's here!
