#mx faye’s art

[mx-legend-of-faye]

So as long as nothing comes up that will keep me from having the time…

…I will be doing both of these. Sorta. Some days I’ll do one for each, some days I’ll do one from one of them and then one from the other one the next day. Anyways. Point is I’ll be taking prompts from both of them to make my art.

And I’m going to state now that it will not be digital art, and that I am still practicing and improving my art. Don’t expect masterpieces but I’d also like to think my art is pretty good for where I’m at skill-wise so yeah. And also it won’t be a big piece of artwork, I tend to draw on a bit of a smaller scale.

I hope you’re looking forward to it, I know I am!

I am so very excited to be part of

The Art of Sherlock Holmes 

#BitsaboutBooksBlogTour 

The Art of Sherlock Holmes is a totally unique experience. Imagine a dozen or more of the finest artists in the U.S. creating art for some the best new short stories written by some of the finest Holmes authors in the world. Each artist has envisioned their version of one story specifically selected for them. All stories and art in one large, hardcover, coffee table presentation volume. This first edition features artists from West Palm Beach, Florida. Future editions will be global, with participating artists contributing from all over the world. The Art of Sherlock Holmes was conceived and curated by Phil Growick, himself a renowned Holmes author.

MoMoBookDiary Review:

Thank you to Caroline of bitsaboutbooks (@CarolineBookBit) for inviting me to take part in this blog tour for The Art of Sherlock Holmes.

I have read and reviewed a number of Sherlock Holmes books on this blog and previous to my blogging life. I have never been so taken with a book before. This is simply awesome.  The art is fascinating and, in my opinion, relates wonderfully with the individual stories.

This is definately a book any Sherlock fan will want to have in their collection – on their coffee table for all to see!  

It is a book that you will find yourself picking up over and over again. 

In a word – brilliant!

The project was conceived by and is curated by Phil Growick. Phil ran one of the world’s leading executive search firms in the advertising industry. Phil’s network in the creative world is unparalleled which is perfect for artist acquisition. Now living in West Palm, Phil is heavily involved in the local art community and as a two-time Sherlock Holmes novelist came up with the concept of combining two of his passions – art and Holmes.

“You’re presented with murder, theft, treason, betrayal, love, loss and greed. All the ingredients to make a delicious Holmes meal of mystery: inimitable interpretations of truly unique Holmes stories.”

So I don’t have the right colors to fully color her in, but I didn’t want to leave this one totally black and white, so I tried adding a bit of color, it’s not the best I know, but I hope you like it!!

Did this for Day 3 of both Linktober and the Linktober Shadow Version: Zelda and Puppet Zelda

Sorry I’m posting this so late on the third, I thought I had it scheduled, turns out I didn’t!!

Linktober 2024, Day Four: Night/Dark

Went with Dark Link for this one guys, sorry the mouth looks so wonky, that’s probably the aspect of faces that I’m the worst at drawing lol

[mx-legend-of-faye]

I was looking back through some photos I took of my drawings and realized this is 100% fitting for this blog, so now you all get to see it as well since I felt like sharing!!

Linktober Day Two: Friend/Companion

I went with totk Riju (I love Riju so much she’s so cool and amazing), her sage vow version or whatever it’s called, because regretfully I didn’t have the right supplies nor the right amount of time to do her justice coloring Riju herself and not her sage vow version.

When I have more time and more of my coloring supplies with me, I plan on redrawing her, hopefully even better, and in full color. But that might not be for a while, unfortunately. I’m pretty busy right now.

Either way, I hope you like this version that I drew! I’m not the best at drawing people yet, trying to improve on that, any other artists have any helpful tips they’d be willing to share on how I can improve?

Linktober 2024, Day Five: Sacred

I had to do this one quickly, so the lines aren’t as nice as I’d like them to be, but here’s a really fancy triforce symbol!!

[mx-legend-of-faye]

It is halfway through October already and I haven’t been doing Linktober from the beginning so I’m picking and choosing which prompts I wanna draw.

So here is day 12: Princess

I make no promises on what other Linktober 2023 prompts I may or may not do

Linktober Shadow 2024 — Day One: Woods

I couldn’t get the eerie feeling and thick mist right, but here’s the archway to the Lost Woods in botw!!
