Happy New Year!

Little Micky - wip

A very happy new year to you all! I had a rather dramatic end to 2019 from an artistic point of view, as my computer decided it did not want to experience the new decade. Luckily, I am a belt and braces kinda cat, so my files are ok, and have now taken up residence on my spangly new machine. And I shall be living on porridge for the foreseeable future. As with everything there are teething issues, but the only way is forwards. So, for now, as I get to know my new beastie, have a wip of Little Micky manning the front desk at the airport on New Year's Eve. Lots of love to you all!

This old heart

Micky

... is weak for you.
Little Micky rocking his spangly puffer vest and rainbow sleeves, adding colour to a gloomy day at the airfield.
So, an iridescent puffer vest seemed like a really good idea until I actually started painting it. Did I learn a lot? Yes. Would i do it again? Aaaah!

Whatever man...

Little Micky

... I just work here.
Little Micky all wrapped up, 'cause that snow isn't going to clear itself off the runway.

Ting Ting

Micky - wip

Glitter and gold, 'cause I've got the song stuck in my head. Work in progress.

Pistachio-nuts about the boy

'5 Second Rule'

Probably it's been under the sofa for 5 five weeks. Finally found a bit of time for some personal work. Wip of little Micky.

Happy New Year!

Micky - wip

Once again I'm with la familia in ye olde country for new year but this time there has been a computer upgrade! And while the monitor may be smaller, this time around my PSD files haven't forced the computer to it's knees, making it beg for mercy.

My first painting for 2018. Little Micky off to do a spot of flying with Precious the pilot. Almost done, but still some tweaking to do. 

May 2018 bring you all many wonderful and groovy things. :-)

Two for the sighs of one

Yudaina

Little Micky - wip

Face number 12 and 13. Yudaina and Little Micky. Still not feeling it, but that's not going to stop me from trying... whilst screaming internally throughout.

Let me hear you say 'Aaaaaaaaaargh!'

Little Micky

I'm currently in the throes of a raging art block. Trying to paint something every day, but it's just not working. It is spectacularly frustrating, not to mention deeply unpleasant. But tonight, at least, I managed a sketch of little Micky.

Hard at work

Micky - wip

Another wip. Little Micky again. I really want to put him in his office in the airfield hangar... but that means I'll have to paint the background. Oh, ick. Anyhoo, that's it for now.

Just let it grow

Micky

A bit busy at the moment, so another wip for now. Little Micky, once again, by popular vote, sporting a beard.

The chain

Micky

Like Fleetwood Mac, I can't seem to break it... and I do love a little bit of Fleetwood Mac. Wip of my 45th attempt at painting little Micky.

Whatever it is...

Micky - wip

... he's not touching it. Wip of Little Micky being slightly taken aback and somewhat sweaty.

Once you start with the clippers...

Micky

So, a fair few of my 29 faces were still works in progress. Now begins the slow process of pulling myself together and finishing them. Here's the face number 15, all done. I had so much fun with Micky's haircut for face number 29 that I decided to chop off the ponytail in this one as well.

Cream of the crop

Micky - wip

Aaaand... here it is! Face number 29 for the 29 Faces. Woot woot. Still a few things to sort out on it, but other than that. Another one of little Micky, from that one time when he decided to cut his hair short. :-)

Somewhat lagging

Micky - wip

Still at my parents' house gently trying to convince the ancient computer here that running Photoshop is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. We're not entirely in agreement on this matter... and so this is where I leave face number 26 for now - a wip of little Micky. :-)

possibly pastel

Micky - wip

Face number 25 brought to you by the old and struggling computer at my parents' house where I'm currently having a little Easter break. Little Micky sporting pastels. This is about as much as the poor machine here can handle, so I'll have to leave it as a wip until my return. Also, not sure what the colours are like exactly, this monitor is a law onto its own. :-)

These days...

Micky

At long last... face number 23. Little Micky looking a bit like a Smartie... Just too tired at the moment.

Watch out, it's always gonna get me
I know it's never gonna let me
That's just the way it tends to be these days
I try, but it's never gonna let me
I wish that it wouldn't come and get me
That's just the way it tends to be these days

(These Days - Luxury)

You can leave your hat on

Micky - wip

Face number 18. Wip of little Micky in another one of his amazing shirts, with hat this time :-D

Do I love you?

Micky - wip

From early morning until late at night
You fill my heart with pure delight
Do I love you?
Indeed I do :-)

Another wip for face number 15. Little Micky with his hair tied back this time.

Shush

Tirion - wip

Micky - wip

Sticking with the rough sketches still... my tinnitus is still driving me crazy. Face number eleven in hues of yellow, elf lord Tirion - as always based on magical Mansai Nomura and - not quite as rough as the previous three, but still a wip - face number twelve, Micky in hues of blue and teal.
