This Took Some Doing...

Every once in a while I get comments about how cool my Link puppets are, and I feel a little sad that I didn't format them to be anything other than art prints.

And then I did something about it.

This link works, too

These can be found at TeePublic.

It took some time and an exceptional amount of cleverness. I only hope my fellow Legend of Zelda fans will appreciate that.

Last Picture for the GAM Con

...GAM Con is tomorrow!!

One last Legend of Zelda picture for the Con and my supply is complete.

Remember how I've been playing Majora's Mask?

Do you love it?? I DO.

If you want one, come to GAM Con tomorrow and say hi to me. Or email me at SuspendedDreamsArt@gmail.com and tell me what size you want
(8x11" - $12, 11x14" - $20)

I don't know if I shared this here or not...I think I forgot to...but maybe you saw it on the Reddit /r/gaming page:

A really awesome friend shared it on Reddit and apparently it exploded. Which was awesome.
Thanks, awesome friend. I owe you one.

Hobbit Illustration #12 is DONE

Behold: In Search of a Burglar, the beginning of the adventure.

Now I have enough to put a Hobbit calendar together. I'll be using Redbubble to put the calendar together, so if you are interested, that's where you can go to order it.

To commemorate finishing the Hobbit illustrations, let's have a puppet.

A Legend of Zelda puppet!

Inspired by Majora's Mask, which I've been rediscovering on the 3DS lately

Surprise.

This can also be ordered on Redbubble on almost all their products - phone cases, tablet cases, notebooks, journals, mugs, etc. Give it a look, tell me if I should change anything.

Gotta sign off now. Lots to do today.

GAM Prepping...part 1

There's a local convention coming up in August. It's called G.A.M. Con - Games, Anime, and More (their facebook page is here). Just a little gathering of awesomeness and family fun.

My sister Good Moe-Jo and I are going to have an artist's booth together. If you're in the Vernal area, you ought to come see us! We're going to set up our laptops and television screens so you can watch us paint digitally. It's going to be great!

I'm finished the Hobbit illustration series for the convention. Here's a preview of what will be there:

Riddles in the Dark

Sleeping Smaug

Unexpected Party

 I'm excited for the convention even though anime fascination was years ago...and the only game I really consistently play is The Legend of Zelda...but I've got the "more" part totally covered!

There will be some Zelda pictures, Studio Ghibli fanart, and awesome crocheted goodies.

But what about puppets? Will puppets be there?

Um...yes. Sort of. I mean...sure! Puppets will be there! 

Subscribe to this blog or my facebook page to keep up with my G.A.M. Con progress. And I hope to see you there!

Puppets of Hyrule

I know. I know.

Legend of Zelda.

Where are the Legend of Zelda puppets?

Good question!

Look no further, friend. Here they are:
 

Full color version, for people who are into that

Three tone version, for people who are into that

I really like this image for the fact that these three characters are bound together, by Fate, by the Triforce, but Ganon constantly seeks to sever the connection. The characters were loosely based on Twilight Princess versions, but I think this sums up almost all the Legend of Zelda games.

I've been playing Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask on the 3DS and holy-freaking-crap it's awesome. The graphics are beautiful and changes/updates to the gameplay are excellent.

It's also given me some ideas about Link, and masks, and strings, and puppets. Stay tuned, more Legend of Zelda puppet fan art is coming your way.

(btw, these pictures are available on shirts, hoodies, notebooks, and lots more over at Redbubble, give it a quick browse and let me know if you think they look good.)

Moving and Sleeping and Sleeping More

My little family just moved back to Utah after a lovely 2 years living in Arizona. The move was exhausting. And exhausting. And wow, I'm tired.

But it's over now, we're settled in and getting back into a routine. Haven't set up my painting equipment yet, but I have cracked open my sketchbook once or twice.

Painting idea. Parchment texture, rose gold color scheme. It's gonna be great.

Any other Legend of Zelda fans here?

Doodling while watching Spirited Away. Any other Miyazaki fans around?

Vita brevis, ars longa!

#ThrowbackThursdayART

My Artist Sister (aka: comicstrip or Good Moe-Jo) agreed to do something very brave with me today.

We're going to participate in Throwback Thursday...
Artist's Edition.

Every Thursday we're going to post OLD drawings and hashtag it - #ThrowbackThursdayArt

(if you're an artist, please join us!)

So here's mine....(ah sheeesh, this takes more courage, and humility, than I thought it would)

This was 10 YEARS AGO, back before REAL sketchbook paper existed. Phew, that's old!

WOW. 
 O_O

All my fellow Legend of Zelda fans will enjoy this, I'm sure.

(come back tomorrow, I'll have some new art for your viewing pleasure)
