Knights of Avalon - Blue Belgian pt. 2

This piece has about 2 hours of rendering left. Everything is done except for the top half of our friend the knight, and some tweaks to the background and whatever else catches my eye. I'm really needing to work with some different brushes, as much as a love this rough canvas effect. Perhaps I will spend the rest of the day building brushes :-).

Japanese Crows

I found these amazing Japanese watercolors of crows, which are very inspiring to me. I decided to try my hand at working with gradiants, so I did a vectory version of one of these images. It's not very good, lol...I chose the most complicated one, and it looks unfinished! I like the individual design elements, though, and I can see this kind of color scheme making a really nice design for a card, announcement, invitation, something like that....

Vector Love

I love vectors. I LOVE them. I have a couple of these sketches of ladies in 18th century costume that I am converting to lovely little vector drawings like this one. I find that vectors are just so darn useful. You can do all kinds of cool things with them, and edit them so easily, plus you get that fabulous clean look that is so vital to good graphic illustration these days.

I can't believe I ever wondered what I would use Illustrator for...

New Domain

So I've finally "taken the plunge" and moved L'Elizabeth R. Fyne Art & Portraites to it's OWN domain. I did this because I've decided to place an ad in Renaissance Magazine that will hopefully drive people to the site and generate some commissions....and having to type a long and confusing web address generally just pisses people off.

So go visit http://www.lelizabethr.com/!
