More fun with Deadlands

Downloaded some fun plug-ins for Photoshop Elements today, and decided to try a few on my Deadlands picture to make it look more old-timey. First I sepia-toned it, and added a paper texture, then I used a Frame plug-in to give it this awesome grungy, torn-edged look. Check it out!

They had a bloody grunge texture, too. I think it'd look awesome for a zombie picture. :D

Deadlands Art

On Fridays I play a Deadlands RPG game with some friends. A couple games ago, I sketched this in my sketchpad, and finally got around to scanning it and tossing a bit of color on it. Pencil and Photoshop Elements, plus using the color setting for the brush over the lines to give it that extra "pop" of color, like the last thing I submitted.

From Left to Right:

Honeybee= played by Darcey
Lola Gillespie= played by me
Jayne Vahn= played by my boyfriend Chris
Miss Emily Perfect= played by Adam
Little Crow and Badger= played by Virginia

FIRST ART POST FTW

Just to show that I'm not completely dead, here's some gift art I did for a friend of her novel characters.

Did something different this time; used a brush set to "color" over the pencil lines in Photoshop Elements. I like the results.

The Maiden Voyage... or Post, whatever...

Welcome to my new art blog. This is not where I'm going to whine about how crappy my life is, or gush about my various fangirl obsessions. For that, check out my LJ at http://psycocatgirl.livejournal.com

This is where I will be posting my art. This includes my ongoing comics/illustrated novels projects, any arts&crafts like knitting or plushie-making, and any other sketches or doodles I feel like sharing.

And now that I have given the driest description possible, I leave you to the blog.
