Ner-Tamin strikes again!

Seriously, how is her art so awesome?  Totally on the same wavelength with taste too, it's pretty crazy.

New DA gallery

So, I finally came up with a less-silly screen name for my DA, and I now have a new gallery!  I've got some new art up, mainly sketch-ish, lots of stuff from gaia online at the moment.

Artist: Ner-Tamin

Just found a new artist that I really like on DeviantART, Ner-Tamin. [gallery]  I love how she uses textures over a really graphic style with strong lines and  rich colors.  She also does the thing a lot of the storybook type illustrators did, using mostly darks and midtones to make the the highlights sparkle and glow, especially in warm golds.  I love the eerie mystical feel a lot of her pieces have too.  Absolutely gorgeous work.

Inspiration: "The Book Surgeon"

Just found this through a friend on facebook, an artist named Brian Dettmer who makes these fascinating sculptures out of old books. [original link] All the illustrations and text are from the original book, he just carves portions away and manipulates the shape of the book.

New Title?

Yep.  Shamelessly stolen from Danielle at the ICC meeting today, the phrase was roughly used to describe the feeling of sudden inspiration, which seemed particularly fitting.  That and I love shinies.

I have a real title! Yay!!!
