Free Vector Again

I had some more time today to work on my mad InDesign skillzzzz (lol yes I know I'm a dork), and this is what I ended up making. I like how it kind of looks like cut paper, might have to try some more like this.

Let me know what you think, and don't forget to check the shop!

Free Drawing in InDesign

So apparently life in the advertising business gets pretty slow this time of year. Maybe everyone is just taking a break after the holidays or waiting to see what they get back from their tax returns, whatever the reason, I had some spare time today and figured any extra time I spend in InDesign can only be good for me, so I free-vectored and this is what I came up with.

I've been working on some infographics too, but since they aren't totally done yet, they aren't posted yet either :)

As usual, feel free to tell me what you think!

Killshot Games Concept Art Commission

I love working on concept art. Seriously, LOVE. It combines my interests in art, people, fashion and sometimes my interest in sci-fi/fantasy too. This project was no exception.

These are the descriptions that I was given to work with:
- Mixed race character [orc, elf, dwarf, human, etc.] in power armor with magic sword and magic shield.
- Character with magic bow but wearing modern combat armor, strapped with grenades and possibly handgun.

And here is the finished piece:

The character on the left is 1/4 dwarf and 3/4 elf, the one on the right is half elf, half orc.

ETSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And we're live! There are a few items listed in my store! Nowhere near as many as there will be - because I'm still cleaning up images and taking pictures and printing things and wetting myself out of excitement... oh oops. Just kidding! Or am I?

Here's some linkage, please check it out! Adorkable Doodles on Etsy.

 

Etsy Store Update

It might change in the future, but for now I've settled on the banner you see above as my storefront image. 

There has been much progress! Unfortunately it's all been behind the scenes... So far I've only been listing items that will be for sale as 'drafts' which on Etsy basically means that I can see it but no one else can. I want to get some prints done to make sure they look magically delicious before offering them for sale, which means that I need to find the original files (amongst the many burned CDs I have lying around), format them for printing and actually get them printed. There was a plan to at least print the ones I have already formatted (around 30) but that's been delayed due to a color problem I'm having with Photoshop. It's been saving jpgs with really high contrast and saturation. :( From what I've googled it sounds somewhat easy to fix on PC but on Mac you never know if it will work the same. 

Once I do have some of them printed, I will take pretty pictures of the prints framed and matted and on the wall, to make them oh so much more appealing. I also want to have shipping supplies on hand for when the items go live just in case people actually want to buy stuff. :P

More updates soon, thanks for reading!

Creating an Etsy Store

Hey there readers!

I'm working on getting an Etsy store set up for the sale of original drawings, paintings and sketches as well as prints, all by yours truly. There are still some details to work out, I can already tell that figuring out shipping pricing is going to be FUN.  :/

I'm using the name Adorkable Doodles for the shop, which, if you've been following for awhile you might remember was the title of a book design I was working on back in 2009. Oh how the time flies. Here's what that looked like if you haven't seen it before:

I think I'll probably clean the design up a bit, maybe make some smallish changes, and probably add some color before that will become the storefront design.

Once I've got some things listed in the store I'll post another update, keep watching!
