Humanoid Alien ruler/leader/deity work in progress!

Update: Just finished this one! You can check it out here:  http://www.cellesriaart.com/digital-gallery/

Here is yet another (of many works-in-progress) that I have been working on a lot lately and trying to finish. Still quite a lot of work I want to put into it - haven't completely decided what to do with the background yet or the cat-like creature. So far I am pretty happy with the way it is coming along, though there are a few things that I may change.

She is a humanoid alien ruler/leader/deity from another world which is very similar to Earth.

I know that in reality other alien life in the universe would probable be a lot more organic and different and perhaps mostly microbial on other terrestrial worlds but I find humanoid alien creatures beautiful and fascinating and this is fantasy so I had fun. Who knows perhaps there are humanoid creatures like this out there somewhere. Anything is possible! :)

Another Sailor Moon fan-art work in progress (Chibiusa aka Rini)

Hey everyone, I feel badly that I haven't added any updates here for a while so I thought I'd post a preview of this little painting I just started tonight. A few people have been requesting more Sailor Moon fan-art for a while now so I thought I'd finally start a new one. I thought for this next fan-art piece that I'd paint Chibiusa, aka Rini. Pretty happy with the way it's coming along - really looking forward to detailing her hair and eyes next! Another idea I have for a future fan-art piece is possibly the wedding scene, Wicked Lady, the other scouts or Sailor Cosmos, what do you guys think? I'm painting these fan-art pieces mostly for all of you other fans out there and would like to hear your input as to what you'd like to see. :)

Currently I have so many works in progress waiting to be finished. It's not always easy choosing which ones to finish, especially when I am always getting new ideas and inspiration for other new paintings. Life and other work also gets in the way of painting but I do actually have two or so paintings that are almost finished which I hope to upload soon.

I'd also like to let you guys know that some of my artwork is going to be featured in an upcoming issue of ImagineFX! I will post another update about it soon around the time the issue comes out.

Hope you all like this little work in progress and thanks for your visit! :D

New Painting for Halloween!

Just finished this little painting for Halloween which is just a few days away! :D Wanted to take a break from the light paintings and paint something really dark for a change which was fun.

This year I thought I'd paint a vampire inspired a little from Countess Báthory with her lust for blood. I am fascinated with the concept and wanted to create a character that was very different but similar in that aspect and a lot darker. Though this character is not supposed to be Countess Báthory, I may consider painting her in the future since I do find her fascinating.

Painted using Photoshop and Painter.

Thanks for taking a look and have a wonderful Halloween everyone!

New 2013 Calendar!

A new 2013 calendar is now available in my Zazzle Shop which features some of my best artwork.

I'd also like to mention that this may be one of my last posts here since I plan on moving my blog to my WordPress website soon. It just makes more sense to have it there, especially since I have little time to manage both my website and this blogger blog. I will still be posting all of my updates and work in progresses etc. they will just be posted on my websites news page in the future instead.

Take care and thanks for your visit!

New work in progress for Halloween!

Currently I'm working on a new painting for Halloween and thought I'd post this little preview here. It's just about finished now and I'm pretty happy with the way it's coming along - it's really nice to paint something dark for a change!

Thanks for taking a look!

New work-in-progress for my art book project!

Update: This painting is now finished! You can check it out on my website Here:  http://www.cellesriaart.com/digital-gallery/

I've been working on some artwork for my art book project and thought I'd post this work-in-progress. I'm currently working on a story for this image as well which is also for the book.

For this work I wanted to create my own unique and beautiful humanoid sea creature. Ballet dancers are a huge inspiration for this work as well as the story as I absolutely love Ballet and am also quite fascinated by deep sea creatures, especially jellyfish. They are so mystical, dangerous, scary and yet so beautiful and delicate the way they move through the water with there flowing silk-like forms. They almost seem to dance through the water and thus I wanted to combine the two to create this painting.

So far I'm quite happy with the way it's coming along and it's been really enjoyable for me. Still quite a lot of details to add though.

This work is titled, "Sea Dancer"

Thanks for your visit, :)
