And I love Aro! He’s cool, smart and intriguing. What started as an innocent question from a TwiMom customer, progressed through a Post-it Sketch, finally came to happy conclusion as a full blown Portrait of Aro. Here’s some “work-in-progress” for you:
And this is a final result:

My lovely Etsy customer from France was inquiring if I, by any chance, had a “companion” print for the Heidi of the Volturi that she has purchased. I decided that it was not nice to keep poor Heidi so lonely and started drawing a matching portrait of Aro. It is certainly inspired by Martin Sheen’s [...]

I honestly don’t know ANY artistically inclined person, who wasn’t at least slightly fascinated with Alice and her Wonderland.

I like it when my drawing muse is visiting… When a refrain in a song catches my imagination, or a melody inspires wild images that are just itching to appear on paper. It’s such a high to be able to make your vision to appear in a pretty solid form for everybody to see!

Let me show you my new New Moon themed picture and the inspiration behind.
Actually it’s sort of 2 pictures… or maybe one, I haven’t decided yet. In any case. The inspiration came roaring at me in the form of the latest NM commercial in which for a few seconds we can see Bella’s reflection in [...]
