Relm Arrowny by Joyce Ann "InkGizmo" Martin

Relm Arrowny, FFVI

I was the same age as her when I was playing the game, and she was just super awesome. I thought that she’d make a great subject for a first foray into finishing something in SketchBook Pro.

Hufflepuffery!

Huzzah for Hufflepuff!
Wand details: 11in, Laurel, Unicorn, Pliant

My husband ended up in Ravenclaw, and while he feels I should be there as well, the Hat has spoken. Besides, the Hufflepuff common room is closest to the kitchens, and that is awesome.

I kind of liked it, and I don’t think that I’m ever going to be finishing it (as ultimately it’s pretty bland), so I wanted to have the initial art see the light of day as an interesting process piece.

Why, yes, I was attempting to use Sean Connery as reference for the back character, but I just couldn’t take it seriously.

During the first meeting that I attended, we happened to have a theme of making a mandala; I eventually finished it up and experimented with a bit of watercolor pencil that I found in my old art stuff.

It ended up with a theme of its own, which I lovingly called “The Secret Garden,” after the book.

Mandala - "The Secret Garden"

Reason is, the “secret project” that I’ve been working on for ages (since April-ish 2009, maybe?) is finally in its final stages of release, and I am finally drawing at work again!

I’ll be linking to the site once it’s available for purchase, but in the meantime…yeah, yeah, yay! Hip, hip, hurray!
