Leaf Princess gets a magic bean bowl, facial makeover and a sharpened sickle:

My husband told me that I needed to rework the face of the leaf princess.

So I reworked her cheeks, eyes, eyebrows and lips until my husband thought it looked good



She has a 2-in-1 weapon, which is a sickle on one side and an axe on the other side. I reworked the coloring and shading of the sickle side of this weapon.

I also placed a bowl of magical beans next to her Somehow those magical beans from "Into the Woods" have remained stuck in my head, ever since I saw the musical, and I had to incorporate them somewhere in my art



And so the work on the leaf princess will continue, until I feel satisfied

Today I am feeling very encouraged. A new backer really liked the Leaf Princess and pledged a $100 for a 14"x10" Signed and Numbered Giclee Print of her, whenever she is ready. So now our project is 36% funded. Hurray!!

Here is the current state of the Leaf Princess:


By today, I have:

- Made her floor into a mosaic one

- Sharpened most of her weapons

- Given her a Futura Mirror - A mirror that tells her about her future

- Added a Bowl of Magic Fire to her collection

- Armed her with a Poisonous Snake Wand

I am yet to complete the coloring of three of her weapons.

I may equip her with more weapons now, or I may take a break and work on a few 6x9 artworks for the rest of the backers before resuming work on the leaf princess or on the rest of the Imaginarium 1 series.

I'll go by what feels inspiring tomorrow morning

Below are a few more glimpses from the leaf princess:

Hope you enjoy her updates as much as I enjoy updating her

Today I feel happy having two more new backers. I want to thank you and welcome you to this project

And now coming back to the project:

I worked on the color and look and feel of the actual wall on which, all the weaponry of the Leaf Princess hangs.

Below is the current state of progress of the look-and-feel of her wall.



And below is a zoomed in view at the coloring, shading, lighting and general feel of her wall:



Hopefully by tomorrow, I might cover the rest of her wall as well, before planning further course of work.

Warm Welcome to today's New Backers & Left Side of the Wall of Leaf Princess Completed

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/clearfieldshop/arrnicas-imaginarium-1-set-of-5-mixed-media-artwor

Hello Everybody.

Today felt like an amazing day of gratitude and honor to me. Got 2 more new backers: One of them being the founder of the likes of CrowdCrux.com, KickstarterForum.org and CrowdfundingPR.org himself. Another being a senior member from his immensely popular and active forum.

I gratefully welcome you to my project.

And now coming back to the progress on the project itself:

I was able to finish up only the left side of the Wall of Weaponry of the Leaf Princess today.



Tomorrow I'll be working on the right side

That's all from me for today. Have a good day everyone

Welcoming my newest backers and Progress of the Leaf Princess:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/clearfieldshop/arrnicas-imaginarium-1-set-of-5-mixed-media-artwor

Once again I welcome my two newest backers to this project

Today I finished working on the look and feel of the Wall of Weaponry of the Leaf Princess



I also sharpened one of her three tools pending finishing touches. I'll work on the remaining two tomorrow.



Finally, I added a Candora Ball - Meaning "the Ball of Candor" to her collection. It helps her uncover the truth behind all masks and fallacies and prevents her from being misguided.



Have a wonderful evening ahead everyone

Welcoming Latest Backers and Wave Princess

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/clearfieldshop/arrnicas-imaginarium-1-set-of-5-mixed-media-artwor

Once again a hearty welcome to my two newest backers today.

And coming back to the project: Arrnica's Imaginarium 1.

I decided to take a short break from the Leaf Princess - the first installment in my Imaginarium 1 series.

The work on the wave princess happened in a rather unplanned manner.

I was feeling rather bored today and felt like doing something different, so I was busy trying to create a digital painting of crashing waves. Here's how it finally ended up looking like:



Next I was not sure what to do with the waves and I felt inspired to sketch another random female character. And I came up with this:



It then struck me, why not have a mermaid as the central theme behind my second installment in the Imaginarium 1 series. So I tried to change her into a mermaid:



I then wondered if I could merge my wave digital painting and my mermaid manual sketch into one mixed media digital artwork and make them work together somehow, and it resulted in this:



Next I thought that before I start merging splashing waves with the emergence of her body, may be I should color her skin, and so I began with coloring her stomach:





Since I would have to show the waves splashing starting from her knee area to upwards, I decided to color her mermaid bottoms as well and have the color of her top match with her mermaid bottoms too, before showing waves around her body:



She is still a work in progress.

I am still pretty unsure if I am really going to have her as the second main artwork in my Imaginarium 1 series. But then that's how each and every one of my artworks takes shape, "with uncertainty" And I ride along the roller-coaster wave of uncertainty until I feel certain and at shore

Its Thursday already. Surprises me how the week flies by

Make it a great day before your much awaited Friday everyone
