Flying postcards and more doodles.

Helloooo everyone!

How is it going? I know it has been a while since I posted, but I had to focus on a few pieces for my thesis and prepare for a meeting with my professors. The end is coming closer, so I'm quite excited and a bit scared at the same time. But I will be so happy when it's finally finished! Before I start with showing a few things I did lately, I want to address something else.

Postcards for Satori
I stumbled across a tweet from a very sweet mom, Melissa Lewis, who collects postcards for her little girl, Satori. Satori will be having a spinal surgery and as a surprise for her, her mom asks everyone who wants to join, to send a postcard. Well to bring a smile on a little girls face is just a postcard away! I created this small drawing for her:
It's a Fruit Fairy! I really hope she likes it! I saw so many tweets passing by of people who sent a card. I wonder how many she'll eventually get. I think it's an awesome project! If you would like to join, there's still some time left. Address can be found here. I wish Satori and her family all the strength for this surgery and that the recovery goes smooth!

Another 'Get well soon' drawing was for the daughter of 'One of the Guys'. I drew this for no reason and when I heard that his little girl was sick, I had the perfect reason to use this illustration! I'm very happy they all liked it!
Next two, are mug designs for my uncle and aunt. Man! Let me tell you. The design for my uncle was difficult. I couldn't transform my uncle into a chibi. He doesn't have a feature that I could use, so people could recognize him. It didn't matter what I did, he kept having a 'standard boy' head -_-'. Well I eventually created a design, only to hear that mom really wanted something else...*sigh*...so I created something else and here the chibi does look a bit more like my uncle. My uncle loves to read things and write stuff down, my aunt loves to shop and drink coffee. I kept the designs simple, have a look and enlarge it for better view!

When I get the mugs, I will show you how it looks! I have a few more designs waiting, but can't show them just yet! Also I'm turning several friends into characters hehe. I already started this with the birthday posts in October, but eventually I want to create complete character sheets of everyone of them! Here is another one. Sensi aka Turtle Girl.
This is a quick doodle of how I see her now. So Turtle girl can change in the near future (and I think she will..). I'm just penciling and watercoloring all my ideas on paper...catching all those images in my mind, before I slap myself when I think 'Ooh I will remember it later on...' and I don't remember them. Which usually happens, because my mind is working over time lately.

So I shall leave it at this for now. I do hope you liked the drawings. Oh yeah. Warning: Next post will be a wee bit longer, because someone asked me what inspires me to draw. Hehe, I'm just warning before hand ^_^. So you have enough time to get something to drink and eat...

Take care & Have a lovely weekend!
Ciao!
