Oddities from my art-book!

Hello you all!
I thought I'd share some oddities I create in my art-book. My art-book is a place where I create things in my actual art-style. But I haven't shared much or hardly anything related to it here on the blog, so you all might be interested in what my traditional style looks like now.

The works in the book are created when the idea strikes and are completely controlled by the way I feel and the impulses I get while drawing. There are hardly any thought behind any of the works, so it's all up to your imagination when it comes to figuring out what they mean or why they look the way they look. Some drawings may also be influenced by music, it they are, I'll make sure to let you know!

I will put down the material used for each piece as well when they are uploaded.

ARABIAN HORSES

Hey everyone!

Thank you all for the patience, here is some finished art studies of the Arabian horse. Without a doubt one of my favorite horse breeds. They are amazing, and they really have something majestic about them.

I hope you enjoy them just as much as I did while drawing these beauties!

I thought I'd update something finished for once since I tend to only have WIP's here.

School has been taking my precious time as well as everyday life and the gym. I lift weights now, aw yeah! Going to get myself a lean mean looking body. Once some serious results start showing I'll be sure to post a picture, I want to brag about my achievements a little bit at least.

Comment if you have any questions~

Ciao,

Malin

A painted box... first digitally rendered painting I've ever done. I don't even.

Hello, as the title states. I just finished painting a box in Photoshop.
And I ended up painting it and rendering it quite a lot. I'm surprisingly happy with how this turned out, it scares me. I mean, wft is that?

Enjoy this strange update. I blame my friends.

Ciao,

Malin

Comic update! Sketchy sketch!

Heyo!

Here we go! Some comic art for once, just a rough doodle of the main characters design. I will get to scribbling some on her companion(the cow). I have changed the colors and such but the concept is still pretty much the same.

I'm going to experiment with the colors and see if I can find other designs that I like.

As you all can see she is very short!

Stay tuned for some art of her companion later! 

Thank you for taking a peek at whats to come.
Ciao,

ARTWORK! WOOOH!

Hello everyone!

It has been way to long since I last posted something art related on here for you guys to enjoy.

I have been busy with my new life stage which involves owning an apartment, eating right, working out, taking care of my dog, cleaning the apartment, doing laundry and preparing for school that is kicking into gear on the 19th. So a lot is going on. It has been hard for me to sit down, relax and just draw. So today, I made the effort and felt that I had the energy to do just that. Draw.

Below I have 2 drawings to show you all.

I hope you enjoy them!

The drawing above is simply a dragon reading a book. The colors aren't balanced, or set in stone. So they are bound to change as I work on the piece and sleep on new ideas. I plan on painting it over a long period of time without stress and deadlines. Just something that I can work on however I want without pressure. I have yet to give it arms since I have no clue where to put em. One of those things I'll have to sleep on or figure out later, haha.

The character is nothing special, it's just a dragon basically. And the character will not be used in the future and the piece will simply be seen as portfolio work and possibly just general art work. No you may not use the character of claim it as your own. Everything on that drawing is mine so no stealing ;)

Don't hesitate to comment! Ask any questions.

This is my friends character Hiniku. I owe her so much art for making her wait this long for her commission to be finished. Hopefully she will be happy and satisfied in the end. I may even need to print this and send it to her to forgive myself for taking so long. I feel terrible!
But there isn't much I can do now, except finish it. Life has been busy and difficult taking many sudden turns so it has been hard to focus on the right things in the right order.

Anyway, I will be finishing the lineart this weekend most likely unless someone kidnaps me for whatever reason.

-----------------------------------------------

I hope you all enjoyed an update with some art.

I am thinking of offering some colored sketch requests from those of you who read my blog and take the time to look around. So please do comment if you think it's a fun idea and if you have any other crazy things I could do to entertain you guys with art. Maybe a theme? or a comic strip you guys come up with?

Spam me with ideas! I will be very happy!
If you don't want to comment, then sending me an e-mail is okay too.

Have a great - day, night, evening, morning etc.

Comic update!

Hey everyone!

It's been taking me a while to finally write something here. Sadly I still haven't been able to put my studio together since I still miss some furniture. Like a chest of drawers where I can keep my papers and other art stuffs!

However! I have started working a bit on the characters for my comic, it's coming along slow but at least I am producing something.

Once I'm done with some basic things on the main character I will post some teasers for ya'll to sneak a peak at!

I hope you are all having a nice summer break and or vacation and I will hope to see you guys around some more later on in this month!

Have a great day and thank you for sticking around!

Ciao!

Pony Art~

Hey you all!

Finished a random gift thing for a friend to clear my head off of my current drawing, so here is a drawing of Shock Storm.

Enjoy!

INACTIVITY COMING UP!

Hey guys,

Thought I'd let you know really quick that I wont be active for about a week since I am going to Turkey. Will be laying there in the sun relaxing after everything that has been happening lately. Much needed vacation.

After that I have other things to take care of like school, my apartment etc.

That is all!

Much love,
Malin R.

Comic News!

Hello everyone,
Firstly,
I want to thank you all dearly for visiting my blog and checking out my work! It means a lot to me that there are people who like what I do.

Now let's move onto some news!

Some of you might know about my dream of creating a comic/graphic novel, or whatever you want to call it. The good news is that I do have a comic I'm brewing together and so far, it looks like it will go somewhere. I am currently in the early stages of writing and it will need a lot more work before I am ready to post anything more specific about characters and basic summary of the story. I also have a lot of drawing to do before I will be ready to create it in the style I want.

However, I wont leave you sitting there without actually knowing what I am writing so I'll let you all in on a treat!

• The story will involve creatures of all kinds, some comedy, action, adventure and discovery. I still don't know if I will stick to that but for now this is how it looks.

I will strive to make this into a unique story and an interesting read, though I am still not sure how much of the story and in what way I should reveal things, since I don't want to give away my work nor spoil the story for everyone. So to start with I will be very reserved about giving out information regarding the comic but I wont leave you all in the dark so don't worry!

Thank you all very much for reading,
Malin R.

Commission WIP

Working on a way overdue commission for a friend of mine. Her wolf character in her demon form, will make her look real mean once I start painting. I'm going to be recording this and uploading it to youtube, so stay tuned!

Anaya Revamp WIP #2

Another progress picture of my work.

I am still working on her appearance so I am yet to add color to this piece. This drawing is loads of fun and I like the way she looks right now. It was a good idea to give her a new design, just to make her look fresh and new. Today I will most likely pause on this and start it again this weekend, I have a commission that needs finishing so I will be posting progress of said commission instead!

Going to try another technique when coloring so stay tuned!

/Malin

Anaya Revamp!

Some work in progress. Changing my Sona's appearance, I am now mixing a red wolf with a dragon. This will not be her finial changes, but with time I will tweak her into my liking.

Anyway, time for bed.
Enjoy everyone!

Love,
Malin R.

Thoughts

This time it's going to be a text entry I write. It was never my plan to actually type anything on this blog, but I thought using two separate blogs would be a hassle. I barely keep things up to date anyway so why not make it easier for me.

The entry I am going to write now will be personal and packed with thoughts and other things trapped inside my head. So it might not be that entertaining for some of you. And of course there is nothing wrong with curiosity. Just wanted to be fair and let you know, so that you don't waste time reading this instead of doing more important things.

For the moment I don't have a lot of school work to do really, since my new courses start again in August. So during the day I don't have a lot to do, and I usually just sit around, walk my dog or draw. Sometimes, I find it really difficult to find joy in my everyday activities and I end up just thinking about things. Stuck inside my own head. Trying to figure things out.

There are times when I am so bored out of my mind that I will consider quitting something I really like doing. Just recently I was thinking of quitting art, throwing away all of my artistic possessions and do something meaningful and new. From a realistic point of view I would never be able to quit art. Quitting art would be like killing part of my personality and personal identity, as well as my way of expressing myself. I think I am a zombie now since I walk around and do nothing for the most part. Imagine how much worse it would get if I couldn't draw. Even I don't want to imagine that.

For those of you who don't know I happen to have an unhealthy obsession with books. I love books and I want to read everything. I also want to own them all. One of my dreams is to have a big personal library with 2-3 levels with just books. Books everywhere. I love libraries for that reason. Being surrounded by knowledge. The downside sadly is that I am very impatient, so reading is for me very difficult most of the time. I am super easy to distract and I am a master at distracting myself. And trust me it doesn't matter if the book is so good that I want to read it until I pass out.

I used to be able to sit down and read for quite a few hours when I was younger. But with the years things have gotten so stressful and it feels like there is hardly anytime to sit down and just relax. Enjoy things, and do nothing with a positive feeling. Instead of feeling useless, guilty and boring.

Most of the time I feel like I have to become something tomorrow and that I have to have everything set. That I have to know exactly where my next step will be. This feeling creates such enormous stress and anxiety. It's just a plain mentally exhausting feeling and thought.

Recently I wrote an essay about the romantic era. And I can't help but dream about how it would be. Sadly I would have to dream of myself as a male since women had little rights back then. A handsome academic, wouldn't that be nice. I would totally be one of the pretty boys. Right?(insert very flirty smiley here).

That is all I have to write for now. I could go on for much longer, but I will save that for another post. And save you all the trouble in the process.

Maybe I'll make a video log next time, if I dare.

Thank you for reading, now I am heading to bed.

Fly doodle

Was working on a drawing when a fly suddenly decided to fly into my face several times, before sitting down on my paper. Got mad at it and sent it flying with a skillful backhand slap, no idea if it still lives. None the less, it won't bother me anymore right now. His brothers will come for me in the morning, haha.

So here have a doodle of said fly.

Thank you for stopping by, now I'm off to bed!

Daily Art Exercise (D.A.E)

Finally finished a D.A.E for the tumblr group im part of.

We got a fixed set of colors and a theme, if you didn't want to you could do whatever you wanted.

Tumblr post on the exercise.

I decided to make a secondary palette so that I could use more hues when painting. Since the ones given where a bit monotone.

Enjoy~

Art for a friend~

Finished this for a friend of mine who was feeling down, this is supposed to be a quick sketch but I find it really hard to draw things in a quick matter of time.

Turns out it still ended up being a 5 hour work process. I need to learn how to let go of my drawings and let them be sketches or quick things. Since I tend to weigh myself down with to many projects when I'm supposed to only focus on one.

Anyway, enjoy!

DAE WIP

Some work in progress for a tumblr group I'm part of.
