MAJOR ATTACK OF UNCREATIVITY

Well, let's get straight to the point: I am pregnant!

While this is wonderful news for me and my whole family, I cannot really enjoy myself at the moment. I feel tired and sick all day and I lack inspiration and energy to do anything creative. I read in magazines and on webpages that this will get better after the first third of the pregnancy - and I definitely hope so. Until then: no new art to be expected ...

NEW STUFF FOR SALE

Ellen Million Graphics is adding new designs these days. I just noticed that "Dragonbreaker's Dawn" is available in the EMG online store by now (as prints, t-shirts, cards, mousepads and more). And I hope there will be some fairy warrior cards and bookmarks soon!

MOODY

I have been terribly moody this weekend. Nothing seemed to work as planned. Most of the time I tried to fix some problems in a program I wrote for the next experiment of my PhD thesis but I couldn't fix them the way I thought it would work. Instead I found out about some other problems of the script I had not been aware of before. Pretty frustrating. At six o clock in the evening today my husband told me to stop and do something else and I started doodling around with my tablet - which is not that new anymore but which I have not used very often since I got it. I played around with it a bit, but after dinner I had lost all my desire to paint something. So this quick unfinished sketch of a sleeping unicorn is the only thing I actually did create this weekend.

Jeez. I hope I'll have a better mood and will not scare my muse away again next weekend!

FAIRY WARRIOR CAUGHT SLEEPING

This was an extremely lazy saturday! I did not have the energy to do much, but at least I finished the fairy warrior card I began to draw yesterday.
The reference photo: http://foowahu.deviantart.com/art/Severely-sleepy-94446222
Thanks so much, foowahu! :)

(The card will be auctioned as soon as I can summon enough energy to put it up on Ebay.)

CREDITS!

Woops, I totally forgot to properly credit the nice photographers who gave me permission to reference from their beautiful swallow photos:

The adult swallow

The juvenile swallow

Thanks so much!

I started drawing another card today which I will probably finish this weekend and put to auction at Ebay. These two swallows, however, are currently reserved for one costumer whose card got lost during shipping and who told me that she likes swallows in particular. She may choose one as a replacement and when she has done that, the other one will probably be available at Ebay, too.

TWO NEW FAIRY WARRIORS!

Yay! It seems this e-mail blogging thing works! This could really be a nice alternative to the news section of my homepage ...

One more test. These are my most recently drawn fairy warrior ACEOs.

A BLOG? REALLY?

Wow. I am not sure yet if I will stick to this idea. But it is worth a try...
