BLUE SUN ROOM IMAGES

The Fanbag
Sunday, June 8, 2008

I bought this little kit to "decorate your own messenger bag" - well, of course, I had to print out my own sheet of extra iron-ons, so I ended up with several firefly references, including quotes, the outline Serenity patch (upper right corner) and blue sun logo (on the strap). Was a really fun project! Can't wait to try and make a nicer one - this was kinda practice, but it fits my art stuff (my sketchbook and pencil case) so I'll still be using it till the nicer one is made.

Quotes:

"Girl Geek and frelling well proud of it"
"so this is us on the raggedy edge"
"Firefly", "Truth", and "Honor" in chinese
"Browncoat"
"CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+KILL" (from futurama)
Yes, that is the Venture Brothers skull loho
The "42" is actually a secret code for my hubby (means true love)
There's more quotes under the flap, but they're not pretty, so I didn't include them here. There are several of our favorites from the movie and series, as well as a few personal ones, and a tiny version of my "Harrowgate Serpent" sketch.

Fun stuff!

Very cool. I actualy thought your 42 was reference to Hitchhiker's Guide. LOL

it kinda is - what better answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything, than True Love? :) Plus, it has an uncanny knack for showing up for us ALL the time. :)

Shiny bag.

Wal-mart. Mom in law likes to shop there, and I spotted this for like ten bucks, and she bought it for me. I used regular iron-on transfer paper with my printer to make the original stuff - but my color ink cartridge died, so I had to go with all black and white.

Cap'n Dicey Morgan
Did a painting of Dicey Morgan, captain of the Oberon (http://www.OberonRPG.com). Her skin tone is off, and it's messed up her eyes, but aside from that, I'm pretty happy with the rest. First one with a body. Hand Painted in PSP 9.


Mal and Inara
Painting version of one of my favorite Mal & Inara pictures. Based on the Promotional photo, a painting of the lovebirds.




Mal
I finally attempted Mal. It's not perfect, but I'm still pretty happy with it. Based on another promo photo, painted by hand in paint shop pro 9.


Simon
Was debating on doing either Jayne or Zoe next, so I settled on Simon. :P
as always, I love the comments, you guys have been a lot of help - should have the re-finished Kaylee up tonight!


Wash
I decided to try a guy - since Mal's big beautiful nose intimidates me still (it's kinda bumpy), anyway, I decided to try Wash. I've always had a real hard time drawing men that look like men (let's just say I drew a lot of male "elves' - to explain away the girliness lol). I'm happy to say Wash doesn't look girly in this.. although, his lips are kinda pink... :P Another hand-painted in PSP 9, with a wacom art tablet (or else I'd never even attempt this!).


Kaylee
based on a favorite pic of Kaylee. I had a hard time with her skin - the tones weren't dramatic, and it was hard to get any definition with such similar colors. I so need to take a class on this stuff, lol. Another all hand-done digital painting, done in PSP 9.


Inara Portrait
Based on a promotional photo of Morena Baccarin - much better results than my previous effort. Hand painted in PSP 9 with Wacom tablet. Comments and criticisms welcome!


Female - Portrait of Inara
I did this based on a screencapture of Inara in Serenity TM, after Mal tells her "Good answer". I loved that look, that smile. I can't say I'm one hundred percent thrilled with the results, but as a first try at something like THIS, I'm pretty pleased, overall.


River Wallpaper by Hell's Kitten
Posting it for her, she was having technical difficulties
