Art: Three and Three and One

[browngirl]

First, a recommendation: ellenmillion is an excellent professional artist who sells prints, coloring books, etc.

Also, three dedications for the next two pictures: kshandra, peteralway, and acelightning inspired me to draw :





2D drawings of the 3D ornaments I would like. I'd have to make wee sculptures and get someone to embed them in acrylic or lucite for me, so not a project for right now. Maybe some other year.

Also, just because:



It's funny. I drew a bra on her and immediately discarded that version. In general I disapprove of bras on mermaids -- water would provide support, and why would they have our particular cultural ideas about what to cover or not? -- but I'll usually add them for propriety. But not this mermaid. She sits in her waterfall, serene and beautiful with an edge of wildness and absolutely no bra.

Ouch! That loss sounds very sad, with, I'm sure, many others. But I admit that making ornaments is a lot of fun, and starting with a wee tree sounds like a great way to start. (I'm reminded of Groot in Guardians of the galaxy)

"Guardians of the Galaxy" is a comic-book-based movie, with a character, Groot, who is a sort of anthropomorphized tree. If you are a Tolkien fan, I'd describe him as a bit ent-like.

Anyway, giving away spoilers, he sacrifices himself for our heroes, but one character saves and plants a twig of him, which seems to be slowly growing into a new Groot.
