My brother is a very accomplished tattoo artist based in Sweden. In December of 08, when my sister and I were visiting the old country for the first time in 3 years, he asked me if I could draw an idea he had; a character from the horror genre playing the violin.

He wanted it to be his contribution to a tattoo convention taking place in May the following year. 
 

The following work is the result of that collaboration. It’s the first one we ever did together and I’m very proud of it. 

Steps taken:

The first thing I did was look through references of the character of our choice (once we decided on who it was going to be). Then I looked for references for a violin but found squat, so I had my sister take several photographs of me holding my violin in the position my brother wanted the character to stand. Once I had my selection picked out I sketched a bunch of different versions until my brother chose the winner. The decision made, I started adding details and cleaning the lines up. When the picture was mostly done I retraced every line with the vector tool and redid them using vector points.

Below you can see the result. The line art is done by me, the shading are by my brother and the final image is of the finished product done as a tattoo.

Title: Mournful Edward

Fandom: Tim Burtons’ Edward Scissorhands

Genre: Horror

Characters/Pairing: Edward Scissorhands

Summary: None

Status: Finished

Note: The character is based on an ‘Edward Scissorhands’ poster, the violin is mine though.

  

Recently I started to make up a compilation of panels that will show the WiP’s I’m currently working on. The concept was borrowed from my sister – SilviHenna – as she’d done the same here.

The panels themselves don’t represent anything in particular; they are not part of a storyboard or anything like that. They are just a framework I used to add the individual screenshots of my WiP’s, though I did try to group them by characters or theme.

My intention is to complete the line art for all the individual ‘windows’ of the panels. The following tumb img shows the first one of these I’ve managed to complete. It’s “window 1” of my Current Projects: Panel 3.

Title: SpnJW1986

Fandom: Supernatural
Genre: Drama, Horror, AU
Characters/Pairing: John Winchester
Summary: He barely sleeps anymore, and when he manages, anything will startle him awake. He’ll be on his feet with gun in hand before he knows it.

Status: Finished

Note: The thumb will take you to the devianart page where it’s located.

DPI is set at 300 and the canvas is never smaller than 1500. Brush: hard round brush with Opacity set to 40-60 and Flow: 20.

Note: The completed line art is meant as a gift for dodger_winslow – the queen of good John characterizations fic.

DM and the ROG do Dungeons and Dragons, or something... 

There is a story-idea behind this, but I'm not up to writing it down right now.

Dm finally takes on parenthood.

 I stumbled over this screen cap from the original The Crow - movie featuring the dearly but departed Brandon Lee and very much liked the body position. I can very easily image lightening strike him and go through him, so I chose to use this screen cap as a reference pic for DM in the mist of a quickening. Here’s the first sketch.

As I’ve said before; I’m a prolific fanfic reader. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t read at least something in any of the fandom’s I’m into. Recently I’m on a Highlander kick and I stumbled upon MacGeorge’s ‘To Touch the Face’ – her Highlander/Constantine crossover. It’s a hoot! I love Gabriel’s point of view, his arrogance and humor, and I LOVE the idea that DM is in fact Archangel Michael, someone Gabe is planning on bringing back into the angelic fold to get into the Big Guy’s good graces again after the mess he made of things in the movie.

This WiP comes with a plott bunny I'll add later on. It's one of the few I've actully started to write out into a fic.

Let's just say I grew tired of all - Oh-my-gosh-Blair-is-4000-years-old!fics

Here you get the close up.

It's done with a mouse by the way. ;)
