Giftart Render for DianeT
I was hanging out in The Knight Agency’s chat room after the Rhyannon Byrd chat with a few others and the discussion got around to aliens and predators. One of the chat regulars, DianeT, mentioned she’s prefer to go down to predators rather than aliens because she’d rather a quick death than the icky slimy death aliens result in.
Having just finished doing one of the illustration renders for Outsider: Epiphany, I was twiddling my thumbs, so I put together an image fast, and squirted it off to the farm while we were chatting.
Giftart Render: “I can’t take you anywhere …”
I finally got around to finishing off this giftart for Mike Hawthorne over on Twitter – I get the feeling this is a scene that would be the end panel of his idea for a strip featuring his 4 year old.
No, seriously! Check out 4YO’s antics!
I’ll admit, this is more of an artistic impression, but I’m trying to cut down on images with more blood in a frame than the entire Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.
All yours Mike, enjoy 
I Can't take you anywhere

Beautiful Beadwork
Tainee, our PCA, is a member of the family and we love her to bits.
Not only does she manage to keep the two of us on schedule, and handle all the stuff we can’t do because of our chairs, she’s one of those rare human beings who is just genuinely a really nice person. In the slang of the Service, she’s a good egg, snappy dresser, fun to be with at parties.
Snowpocalypse Day Four – Bracing For Round Two
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get any pictures yesterday, but I wanted to get this update up from round one before round two hits – it just started snowing again.
I have no clue where he got it from, but yesterday we were astonished to see one of our neighbours come down the road in a Bobcat, a small front-loader excavator. He then proceeded to chunk out a wide path down the road, and even cleared our driveway enough so we can get to our trashcans.
So all the clearance you see in the pictures below is attributable to one resourceful resident, not the town, and not the county.
Snowpocalypse Day Two – Digging Out Begins
I love how history repeats itself.
Most of the snow clearance you see on the ramp was done by our fantastic and wonderful PCA, Tainee. I did get to go out and start hammering on the ice on the ramp though – figures I get to do the destruction part
They think that plows might get to roads like ours mid-week.
Now, I realize people might say “Oh, well, the neighbors will all decide to dig their own way to the nearest cleared road” – and they very well might – but it won’t do us any good, since even a relatively small pile of frozen-slushed snow a car might drive through, or a pedestrian might step over, might as well be a solid wall for a wheelie.
Otherworld fanart that didn’t make the cut: Smoky
I was in email with Yasmine Galenorn’s wonderful administrative assistant FairyFindings this morning, and in the course of it mentioned a couple of other renders that aren’t really part of the Sisters of The Moon fanart I did. I promised her I’d dig through those rough drafts, and I came across this prototype.
Remember that old quote about interfering in the affairs of dragons? Well, this character from the Otherworld series pretty much sums that up – if you’re anyone other than Camille, that is.
Snowpocalypse Day One
So here we go again with a rerun of the snows from last December, dubbed “Snowpocalypse”.
Which is kind of strange, given how it seems like DC goes into an absolute panic when the snowfall totals 3 snowflakes, let alone the three feet or so that’s fallen so far.
Unlike December, we’ve seen one Town snowplow, yesterday. I’m not sure why there’s been nothing since then, maybe they’re conserving supplies for when the snow finally stops falling.
Render: Catching The Lightning
It seemed a little unfair to do renders of Menolly, Delilah, and Ariel, but to leave out the last of Yasmine Galenorn’s Sisters of The Moon from her Otherworld series of novels.
The problem is, how to properly do justice to Camille, the first one of the three half-fae/half-human to be written of in Witchling.
Camille’s got extra considerations. She’s a witch and Priestess of the Moon Mother, with an affinity for lightning and Death Magic, but (except for the Death Magic) her talents sometimes have a habit of … backfiring. Enough that everyone around her who knows her tends to cringe and cross their fingers the Moon Mother will shine on her and not let her spell do nasty things to them (or Camille herself)!
Renders: Menolly, Delilah and Ariel
I’ve been having a bit of an art block recently, with life intruding, the death of one of my storage drives and trying to recover that for a project, and the weather.
So, for rest and relaxation, I fall back to my second favourite pastime (after doing renders of Giger-esque aliens) – Doing renders of the characters in books I love.
I’d done one of Menolly, one of the Sisters of The Moon from Yasmine Galenorn’s Otherworld novels a little while ago, and figured since I’m on a roll, stick with ones I have a visual of firmly in my head.
Render: Waitin’ For Supper
OK, I’ll admit it – to go with my well documented love for Giger-esque aliens, I have a thing for vampires too.
Oh come on, they’re just as misunderstood and cute and cuddly and friendly as Giger’s creations!
Fine, be like that!
Yeesh. See if I ever get around to dusting The Stranger off!
Anyways, in the field of vampires, there’s one that I absolutely love, and not just because of her dress sense and hair style.
OK, maybe those have a lot to do with it, but that’s not the point.
