Dwarves dwarves everywhere...

[secondlina]

I told you guys I would draw this *laughs*. Dwarve couples! Playing with the proportions was really fun and interesting. Nothing like playing with proportions to practice mastering them!

So, to confirm, I WILL be in toronto for the TCAF on the weekend of May 7th-8th. I will let you guys know where exactly as soon as the floor plan is released. I'll be selling "Jabberwocky" and making drawing for those who ask! :D

In  other news, I might also be going to France in June. MIGHT. Thanks to my editor's hard work, I was invited as an artist to the Lyon comic festival. Both me and the editor are currently waiting to see if we get a grant from the Canadian art council so we can afford the trip. If I go, i'm sure it's going to be a great networking opportunity. However, money is needed. My editor doesn't want to go if he doesn't get the grant (which is understandable, it's a 3000$ trip). I,m pretty okay with the idea of going and not going. For sure, networking in Europe would be sweet. But I still have ways to do it and opportunities here if I don't go. I guess I just don't want to get my hopes up.

But it's a good thing, even if I end up not going. People are interested in what I can do. They like my art. It reassures me that I can truly go forward...

I'm currently building presentation documents for a couple of comic ideas... i'll let you guys know about these soon!

Also, i'm watching Moulin Rouge for like the first time tonight under the orders of a friend. Let's see how i'll like it.

Apologies to all my local friends and chat friends... i've been so anti-social lately. Dunno why. I just feel like staying in bed a lot... Maybe it's because the cold keeps coming back. Spring, stop being such a tease!

I keep thinking Halfling/Hobbit with all those bare feet! ;) It can be tricky drawing proportions though. Dwarves do look obviously short, unlike some of the other short races that are proportional. If you're not careful, I'll hound you to draw my D&D characters again. Are you terrified?

That would be great if you could expose more people to your art, and hopefully (eventually) rely more on your art than working a desk job to make ends meet. I'll admit, being able to go to France would be a wonderful opportunity, so I hope you're able to get that grant!

(And I haven't noticed, since yesterday we had little relations over all day, then today my internet was down. Laptops make for wonderful companions when bedridden though!) ;)

These are fantastic! Playing with cutesy couple poses to get the proportions down was a good move.

Wonderful news all around! I hope I get to pop by to say hi at TCAF and Dwarves definitely need more love! I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys drawing them, both male AND female! And couples to boot! And an invite to the Lyon comic festival? THAT'S HUGE! I hope you guys get the grant to go!
