Pretend it's Saturday.

Well, so much for my epic idea of posting more often. It's been a week. Again.

It has been a very long, very difficult, roller-coaster of a week, and I don't want to talk about it.

This post was supposed to be up on Saturday, but things were chaotic on Saturday.... and Sunday.... and I worked all day Monday. Today is the first time I've really been able to catch my breath.

So now we have more to share, because it's been a bit since I last posted, and I've been drawing rather a lot.

1.) Le Elven Queen. Am I the only one who thinks she looks a little bit like Amanda Seyfried?

Just me?

2.) Le boys from Jack's book. I actually kind of hate this picture. Something about it is off  and I can't put my finger on what. Just overall it did not turn out the way I envisioned and it bugs  me.

3.) Le sketch I did that reminded me a lot of my sister, so... here, Bella, that's for you.

4.) Le All Seeing Eyeball.

5.) Le girl that reminded me of Katniss. If Katniss was... happy.

6.) Le Franz from Brother's In Arms. (Yeah, you guessed it. Jack's book. Which I have read and you have not. Suckers.)

7.) LE ADORABLE HAPPY GIRL. I dunno. I just love her so much. I think she is adorable and cute and exuberant. I giggled when I drew her. She reminds me of a grown up Vanellope von Schweetz.

8.) Le Creepy Smiley Girl that I can't decide if I like or not. I like some about her. I don't know though. She's funny.

9.) More art for Brothers In Arms. (FYI, B.I.A. is not a romance. It is... a war story that.... it's a war story. Romance is not in it. At. All.)

10.) Le two minute sketch that I did when I was reminiscing about the ending scene from Mark of Athena. (Thus meaning, yeah, it's really rough, don't judge me.)

11.) Le other rough sketch I did was I really wanted to kill someone. 

12.) Le Studious Snakey.

13.) Even more from Brothers In Arms. (Please note how I'm trying to break them up so they're not all in one clump....)

14.) TOUCH IT I SAAAAAAY.

15.) Le Angsty One. To Dad.

16.) Le Other Angsty one. Also to Dad

AND THAT IS ALL.

I think I'm going to draw a signature for put at the end of all my posts. What think you?

Which drawing is your favorite?

Until I get my signature drawn, this'll have to do. Cheers and God bless.

Picture Saturday -- Stuff

Picture Saturday has become tricky for me.

Suffice to say I keep having to work on Saturday. And it's annoying.

ANYWAY, I like to think I've managed to keep up my drawing fairly well in spite of my job.... unfortunately, the pictures have become less than high quality because the only time I have time to draw is in the evening, when the lighting's bad, and I'm tired, so.. mostly we just have sketches.

First off! We have the failed Psych fan art which I gave up on cause it sucked. :)

The baseball picture that I mentioned last time I posted! This one's to the song Play-By-Play, which makes me all reminiscy about when I was in my tweens, playing baseball with all the neighborhood kids. It is one of my favorite songs, and I don't know why. Listen to it!

(The lyrics are in red, and the baseball quotes.... aren't. :)

And then we have the girl. She's odd, but I like her.

And then we have a ton of.... fan art.

Again sorry for the poor quality in the sketches and the pictures. The camera's acting a little funny.... and most of these were done fairly late at night. 

And that's it, I'm afraid. I need to get ready for work. On my day off. ..... Yeah. I'm being a brat about it.

So I'm going to proof this and go, because I'm in a bit of a rush. Which picture is your favorite? TELLL MEEEEE!

And now I go to work.

Cheers!

Picture Saturday-- Odds and ends

BOOM! An entrance Kuzco could be proud off. (Hurhurhur)

This whole new laptop thing is tricky, because the mousepad is in the wrong spot and I keep scrolling. And it is so annoying.

Anyway, Picture Saturday is back!

Mostly, it's all artwork that I did for Jack after reading her newest rough draft. (I am obsessed. I am freaking her out with how obsessed.) So if you guys don't care for these as much, I get it. :)

I'm not wild about these too... but... I figured I'd post them anyway.

Those are lyrics from the Jekyll and Hyde musical. FYI.

Yeah. *cough* And I have more ideas for others to draw. I need a life.

And then we have the pitcher that I actually really hate. Like.... the whole picture is just wrong. 

Theeeen we have the really awkward one that I'm embarrassed to post. It's.... dark. I was feeling angry when I drew it. Don't you judge me. 

I DON'T KNOW WHY. I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
BUT SHE'S DEAD AND IT'S SAD. 

But on a happier note, we have the adorable couple. I love couples! (they remind me a little of Percy and Annabeth, but I didn't intend them to.)

 Run.

And last but not least.... (And my favorite this week...) We have the quote that Amy asked me to illustrate.

I'm currently working on another picture collage like the Dance, Sing, Love one that I drew a few weeks ago. This one's about baseball. It's going to be fun. Anticipate! Eagerly! Lalalala!

Which drawing is your favorite? Did the death one freak you out?

Cheers!

"A Test of Loyalty" cover reveal!

I need to post more than once a week.

I realize this and shall attempt to be better about it.

Anyway.

Today is the cover reveal for Jack's new book!

*happy dance*

More happy dances!

Alright enough of that madness.

Look at this awesome cover!!

 

A Test of Loyalty

 

Upon learning he is one of the sons of the now dead king, Prince Lachlan is forced to leave the only home he has ever known. Fleeing for his life, his step-brothers a step behind, Lachlan finds safety and friendship with a young seamstress named Magda, a hermit, an Elf, and two Dwarf brothers. Determined to keep the young prince alive, Magda and the others seek out help in the surrounding Nations.

Everywhere they go, the fugitives are constantly turned away. They are followed by Lachlan's half- brothers who are determined to kill him so that one of them might take their father's crown and become the next king. With every place Lachlan is taken, his brothers close in and when the finally catch up Lachlan is forced to face the question that has been haunting him since he left home.

Lachlan was saved in the hopes he would become a better king then his father and his brothers. But the last thing he wants is to sit on the throne. If he refuses the crown, will there be anyone willing to fight to keep him alive?

I need to get my hands on the first one, so I can read it because... *eyes Jack accusingly* I haven't read it yet.

The Jack of Awesomness

About Jack:

Jack Lewis Baillot has the ability to wear a red shirt because she is convinced she is Scottish and therefore immune to expendable dying. 

It also helps that she has a last name.

Jack claims the title of Author, which makes her feel like a Time Lord when she capitalizes it. She has a sonic pen which deepens her Time Lord claims. She enjoys a good Science Fiction story though spends most of her time writing Fantasy and Steampunk, or a mixture of both.

She believes cliff hangers are terrible and feels the need to apologize over and over when one of her books ends on one.

When Jack isn't writing, which doesn't happen often, she goes on long hikes through the ice lands she calls home. She believes she will one day meet the Abominable Snowman and share a cup of hot chocolate with him.

You can learn more about Jack's other published work and upcoming books at her website, jacklewisbaillot.com

Seriously now, she is quite a delightful author and you are missing out if you haven't read her books.

And now I must go.

We are going to a Renaissance Faire and I'm excited.

Cheers to you all!
