Some more Year of the Rat ATC

I have just about finished my space themed year of the Rat ATC (artist trading card). I noticed I didn’t line the planet in the upper left corner. Other than that, it is done.

This next ATC I am having some issues with.

The main problem is deciding what colors to use. I want the star to appear iridescent like gem and rainbow will be the tail. I just know that the starry gem is going to take a while to do. I will have to build layers to get it how I want it. I am using gouche and acrylic on this ATC. The red and gold are working very well for me. The border will be gold leaf (using a gold leafing pen). I will definitely use those colors on the 3rd ATC I am working on!

All for Love

I normally get depressed around Valentine’s Day. But I have found focus in doing these illustration inspired by Valentine’s Day. It is still early. Who knows how I will feel come February 12th or 13th
I think I have done all I can for the following illustration titled “Love Letter 1.”

Year of the Rat ACEO

Ah, I almost forgot my Year of the Rat ACEO

Where does the time go???

I was able to get some art done today.
I started my 3rd Valentine’s Day collage/painting:

It still needs some work. I think it may need more tissue paper. Also, my woman’s face needs work. She just needs work in general.

Here is my Sunset ACEO.

I’m going to try a few more like this one.
