The Other Half of the Sky is out today! (If you recall, I made the cover for it a couple months ago.)

Available from the publisher, Candlemark & Gleam (also from Amazon, Barnes & Noble et.al.). I’m proud to have participated in this endeavour and whole-heartedly recommend the anthology to all who wish to read something fresh and different in the science fiction/space opera genre.

Enjoy and spread the word!

Something quick and just about as formless as sea-foam. :}

No reference, hope it doesn’t show too much.

Saudi Arabia, February 2013, a set on Flickr.

I was in Saudi Arabia in early February for work. Here are some pictures from the trip!

A quick figure study of sorts from a while back.

Reference: still capture of Hunger, 2008.

Something very quick, trying out a set of canvas-textured brushes. It reminds me of those Fayum mummy portraits as it turned out.

A quick portrait study - the first for 2013, and the first from my new work space. Also, I suspect the nice habit of going to bed early I had formed after moving is soon to go to the dogs. Why sleep when you can paint? :B

Reference: from this photo

After more than a month since I moved, Assai is back online. :)

I use a flashlight in lieu of a desk lamp and I’m being strangled by cables, but hey! I’ve got a workspace at last!

the-xaotician replied to your post: Lack of workspace

I would love to see you do some planars! Or a dryad, or something else that’s all “branch-y”. :D

Planars! Actually, I replayed a little of Planescape: Torment while recovering from a nasty bug last week. (What an awesome game!) I had been thinking some time back to complement the portrait of Fall-From-Grace with one of Dak’kon, whom I liked as a character very much.

But I might end up doing some fire genasi, instead, which is more fun and easy. XD

Good ideas, regardless! Thank you! :D

I’ve been very silent since the cover for The Other Half of the Sky I posted in end November. This is due to a house move in mid December (and continuous efforts since then to make the new place somewhat habitable), then having spent a good chunk of the holidays away (together with my good friend euphorbic! ^_^), then my mother having had a knee surgery. Things have somewhat slowed down lately, but I still lack a place to park my PC on. I hope this will be remedied by the end of the week, and new art should follow!

Since my muse is rather mute after such a long hiatus, do you have any suggestions? Something you’d like me paint? I will also be opening up for commissions soon; so let me know! :)
