Mermaid and Flight 5

I know... yet another mermaid. But I was doodling for fun the other day and mermaids are fun. The last mermaid I posted here is actually becoming a neat sculpture by Cleveland, a Blue Sky modeler, check it out.

And as promised, here is the art from page one of The Changeling, my comic for Flight 5. I think half the fun of working on anthologies is challenging myself to try out different styles of art and storytelling.

Sarah, I just recieved Flight 4 for christmas and thought that your story was by far the most moving (which is saying something considering the talent that Kazu gets for the anthologies). I love your work.

Mike
I felt inspired by all you flight kids so I started an art blog/sketch dump too, its http://threeredheadstudios.blogspot.com/ if you ever get bored.

These are great. At first I was going to say how the mermaid's one of the coolest things ever, and then I scrolled down and decided the same thing is true about your comic book page. You do amazing work, Sarah.

ANX said…
I'm a bit upset by all this...I mean I consider myself pretty decent with a pencil..then I see your work and am completely blown away by your level of awesome. I'll be in this corner. This one right here admonishing myself for not being your level of badass.

honestly though, your blog is gorgeous.
Oksancia said…
WOW! The mermaid is just amaising! Love the face expression!:)

SARAH-
My name is Katrina, I am eleven years old. I have two blogs that I never really get on that much and are not at all interesting. I enjoy sketching, but I am not at all as amazing as you! People like you that can draw like that completely blow me away. It's just ink and paper, but the things you can do! You are absolutely breathtakingly genuine and talented, and I aspire to become an artist as experienced as you.

My teacher had us read the Changling last fall. I fell in love with it. I ended up doodling the fairy changling all over my stuff and have a decent sized sketch in my artbook.

You are great!!
