Night Hunt


Night Hunt, originally uploaded by alida saxon.

Hopefully no one finds these boring. Doing my color work isn't nearly as fast as these sketches.

This is another sketch which I plan to make into a color work. I used the White Ermine Moth as the inspiration for the hunt lady's clothes. The monster is from a doodle I did a couple years ago that I still haven't gotten around to putting into a finished piece.

Last Watch


Last Watch, originally uploaded by alida saxon.

A quick sketch for something I may expand upon. I really enjoy sketching with a pen. You can't fix a damn thing, but there's a quality to the line going down that's really nice. I think I'm going do do more of it.

The Old Dance (wip)


The Old Dance (wip), originally uploaded by alida saxon.

I was doodling this last night and this morning in photoshop in preparation for one of the pieces I'm working on called "The Old Dance".

As it happens, this week's Illustration Friday theme was just announced to be "Angels and Devils." Serendipity is a funny thing.

On the left I was playing with some color options and the right is purely sorting out the pose. Much of it is pulled from an old ballet pose photo I have around for reference.
