Black and white book illustration for Alice and Wonderland. This one was done in 2015there are so many things I’d do differently if I were to do it today; but it is fun to look at these old drawings/paintings.

This painting was done about… 4 years ago I want to say?? It was when I was very very new to acrylic painting, like most of my older work done for school it doesn’t feel done- but I like the idea of it. This was my son when he was about 5, he has always had a great imagination. So here is my little Valient Knight.

This is another assignment from school; it isn’t finished- I hope to have time to revisit this concept some day.

This is one of the few images that I painted in school that I’m actually proud of. It also has a bit of a story, because it is part of a world I’ve been writing about since I was 12. This is the Banshee of Sha’Dren, it is an extinct elven kingdom. The Banshee was once the queen of a thriving kingdom, the day of her marriage to a prince of a neighboring kingdom she and her people were betrayed. Dragon riders flew in from the south, and decimated her people. She died, but her anguish and agony lived on- as her kingdom crumbled and was reclaimed by the wild her essence moved among the ruins, hunting for those that betrayed.
This is an abbreviated part of the story, but that is the explanation for the picture.

yea I got behind again…
I’m not going to stress about it though lol
Here is a self portrait I did about a year and a half ago. I don’t like doing self portraits; for a variety of reasons. I just don’t like looking at myself for that long… I don’t feel like I’m unattractive… but still don’t like doing them. Anyway; this is my ‘S’

This was another school assignment, I forget the specific parameters, but I created this little robot guy for it.

I did this book cover for an art assignment in a children’s book class. There are so very many things wrong with it; but I still like the concept- so I’m sharing it.
I would love to illustrate the whole book with a diverse cast- because it’d be fun. I found this stunning image of a woman from Africa when I was working on this and the queen of hearts was heavily based off of her. I couldn’t help thinking ‘why couldn’t she be a beautiful regal looking African woman?” So I went that direction instead of drawing the traditional crazy woman. I think I’d want to rewrite most of the story if I were to illustrate it though lol

this was a fun assignment from school; create a unique playing card in an alphonse Mucha style.
This is what I came up with.
kinda want to do a whole deck with characters like this 😀
(guess I could’ve saved this for Q… oh well)
Alicia Hawks
Yes I’m currently missing F, G, J, K, L, M and N…
Ok; so this challenge has gone about the way I thought it would. Today I’m sharing a really old painting of a ghost girl in front of a castle.
I’ll try to catch up on the letters I missed;
clearly this wasn’t a 30 minute speed painting…I posted the stuff below on facebook; it is totally applicable here.
