A little snippet of my current "cheer me up" soundtrack.



Go ahead and dance. You know you want to. ^_^

Have you people seen this? This will completely change how I work for the better. I must have one!

I am a HUGE Fire Emblem fan/junkie/geek, whatever you want to call me. And when you get a Fire Emblem geek who's also an artist with too much time on their hands you get this: (BTW, Soren's my favorite.)

Here's the next member of the steampunk ladies: A Navajo woman who's a weapons expert.


Now, onto her colors!!

Today is my little girl's 10th birthday so I figured I'd make her an extra special cake to celebrate. I really can't believe where all the time went and all that's happened inbetween. She's really a special girl and my partner in crime. Love you sweetie!!



Yes, that is all cake!! The meatballs are chocolate cake. The sauce is pureed strawberries. The noodles are frosting and the cheese is white chocolate. Thank you Food Network because I wouldn't have been able to make it without you. ^_^

This lady is going to have a few pals to run around with, if I can get my butt in gear and draw them. There's going to be a Native American woman, a West African woman, and a Scottish woman in the "gang." This is going to be fun!



***BTW, I'm still open for sketch commissions! $5 per portrait!

Okay, I'm almost done with this one so I figured I'd post the inks to tide you all over. ^_^

I'm so happy I finally get to show this piece. It was a present for a dear friend and his lovely wife for their wedding. (Checks calendar.) They should be well out into the Carribean by now on their honeymoon. Cheers to the both of you!

I tried my best tonight to do a long, detailed drawing and truly make some art. This is step one. Tomorrow comes the inks.

Hey there folks! I'll be honest. I need a little bit of help from all of my friends and watchers out there. My husband was quite sick most of last month (he's okay now) and while he was out of work I had to use the money for my artist's alley table for AWA to pay for bills. So with that in mind, I'm taking some sketch commissions. Simple, portraits for $5 each. Could you lend a hand?

Examples:





Here are the details:

1) The $5 is for one sketch bust portrait of one character. Any additional sketches or characters will be an additional $5.

2) The character can be either copyrighted or original. If it is original, please include: a)Character name and b) a brief description or a link to a visual reference.

3)Completed sketches will be emailed as a high resolution scan to the commissioner.

4)Please email me your requests with the following information:
Name of DeviantART name
# of portraits wanted
character descriptions/ visual aid links
your email

5) I'm only accepting PAYPAL. I'm sorry. No exceptions.

And that's it! My e-mail is sarah_a_bowman (at) yahoo.com. Just replace the (at) with the proper symbol. I'll email you back with your total and the proper payment info and then all will be go! I'll get them done ASAP!!

Thanks in advance for everyone who's kind enough to help out! I'm telling you. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Peace and love,
Sarah

I have a brand spankin' new lightbox. It's thin and LED lit so no hotspots.


It's really forcing me to improve my linework. I can't wait to use it with my nibs.

Just letting you all know I'm still alive.
