I'm very bad at updating this blog. I'm thinking of moving away from using blogger to maybe posting work on Tumblr or Instagram. But realistically I'll probably just keep using this one. Anyways this is the collection of WIPs from the background I last posted about. It's finished now and can be viewed here: http://bone-fish14.deviantart.com/art/Ruins-616860006

Also there are a lot of unfinished projects/ideas that I don't post because I never plan on finishing them. But I might start posting old/unfinished ideas more often, just so that they don't disappear into the land of forgotten files on my computer never to be seen again.

Here's one unfinished idea:

 Old background idea that I'm currently re-working. And some fan art of a Leshen - my favorite monster from the Witcher 3.

Also another background I finished earlier this month. I might post WIP images for it but this thing took ages to complete because I kept restarting parts of it over and over.

Just some sketches. We have a lot of plants in the house right now.

More work from earlier this year. I feel like I should have posted something different for the 69th post... But this will do.

Hey I'm back! I have no real reason as to why there is such a big gap between posts other than life getting in the way and art block. But I'm hoping to post more often again and I'll start by posting some old work I've done over the past year. This one is from October and was part of an artist drawing challenge called InkTober. The goal is to do one ink drawing a day for the entire month. InkTober was started in 2009 by Jake Parker as a challenge to improve inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. This was my first time participating.

I've been wanting to get more plants for my room, so I went on a succulent hunt last week visiting about 5 different places looking for them. I did finally find them but it took a lot longer then planned. I hope these last longer than the last ones...cause I don't have much of a green thumb but I can try dammit.

I also wanted to make one of my 7" Munnys into a planter, so I decided to create one that had an old wooden sign/barrel look to it. I only cut my self a few times with the box cutter while working on it, and painting didn't take as long as I thought. Here are some pics of the finished planter and part of the process:

 These are the other plants I picked up and planted in the other planters I had.

 I thought I would try some air plants to see how they fair.

 And this is a planter I made from a reclaimed wood box I pulled from a dumpster a few years back.... yes I do dumpster dive on occasion. 

 And they lived happily ever after on my window sill.... hopefully.

And my grandmother passed away on Friday and I'm still mostly in shock from it. I wouldn't say it was sudden because the whole family knew that she wouldn't be around for much longer. But going to the care home to check up on her after getting a bunch of conflicting phone calls only to have the nurse just come out and say she passed 10 mins before I got there was a little sudden. And my parents were in a different province at the time so everything kinda fell on me for a bit....but it all got sorted out in the end. That all aside....... I will miss her very much and I think it will take some time for it to sink in that she is actually gone.
