Happy LV-426! Squeezed in an ink sketch of this guy while waiting for paint to dry. He’ll be available for purchase at the Auburn Art Walk on May 11! . . . . . #lv426 #alien #xenomorph #hellomybaby #aliens #penandink #blackandwhite #sketch #horror #gore #songanddance #scifi #scary #death #morbid #instaart #ridleyscott

It's time for this month's installment of The Bird Whisperers! For those of you just tuning in, we all do a piece of art inspired by the same reference photo. This month's bird is a Bullfinch! They were once popular cage birds, and can be taught to imitate a special whistle. This guy’s pretty handsome in his bowler hat and bow tie. He’ll be added to my mini painting (2.5 x 3.5”) series, called Fancy Flock. Please visit the @BirdWhisperer Project to see the reference photo and all of the other art for this month! Anyone can play along! Please tag the BirdWhisperer Project page so we can see your lovely artwork, and use the #BirdWhisperer tag. We love to spread the love of birds! . . . . . #art #animalart #natureart #bird #birdart #fauna #fancyflock #bullfinch #artofshannoneagle #shannoneagle #shannoneagleart #tinyworksofart #acrylic #painting #minipainting #dapper

Start of a productive work week. 4 wood rounds gessoed, sketches, and ready for paint! These guys will be finished, and debuting at the Auburn Art Walk in May. I’m thinking of doing a series of these forest spirit type creatures on wood rounds. . . . . . #art #fantasyart #natureart #forestspirit #animal #unicorn #fox #kitsune #owl #barnowl #rabbit #jackalope #instaart #instagood #cute #nature #lore #mythology #mythicalcreatures #shannoneagle #shannoneagleart #tinyworksofart #woodart

One thing that sucks is having a 2 day migraine, but getting back to painting really turns it all around. Working on the under painting, so I can build layers over the top in acrylics. . . . . . . #paintingismyonevice #art #wip #painting #acrylic #artist #instaart #creepyart #horror #horrorart #death #mementomori #corpse #viking #warrior #raven #bird #huginn #huginnandmuninn #norse #mythology #lore #winter #snow #dead #eye #eyeball #sword #shield #forest

Drinking some delicious decadence tea from @crescentmoongifts while I work. Probably one of my favorite teas outside of my staple, jasmine green tea. . . . . . . #artistlife #artist #tea #drinkingtea #teatime #teatime☕️ #artistoninstagram #artistontumblr #artistontwitter #artistonfacebook #artistonflickr #nomakeup #needtofixmyeyebrows #acrylicartist #acrylicartistsofinstagram #raven #bird #peeringovermyshoulder

Pretty much got all of the shading done, except for the raven. I work from light to dark, making a pass across for each new “layer” with a darker pencil. This is about 17 passes ranging from a super light (10H) to a fairly dark (6B) pencil. I absolutely LOVE my Mitsubishi pencils! . . . . . . . #art #instaart #artstagram #instaartist #artistsoninstagram #artistontumblr #artistonfacebook #artistontwitter #artistonflickr #graphite #pencil #blackandwhite #grayscale #tone #mitsubishi #hiuni #mitsubishipencil #raven #bird #norse #viking #sword #shield #death #winter #corpse #wip

Started the outline for a new painting, which is a companion piece to my Odin’s Messenger (you can find prints of him on my website). This is what most of my paintings start out as, a black and white drawing on paper. Here, I can get a feel for tones. Before this, I take all my reference photos into photoshop, and place them around to get an idea dew of scale. There will be a complete time lapse of the drawing process, once it’s completed. . . . . . . #art #instaart #artstagram #instaartist #blackandwhite #pencil #graphite #pencildrawing #raven #bird #viking #norse #death #corpse #eye #winter #snow #odin #huginn #huginnandmuninn #fauna #artistoninstagram #artistontumblr #artistontwitter #artistonfacebook #artistonflickr

Who’s this sly guy?! Well, he’s part of a larger painting that’s a part of a series. Soon he will be revealed, but until then, I’m just excited to post a snippet of the whole thing. . . . . . . . #art #acrylic #painting #thumbnail #artistsoninstagram #artistontumblr #artistonfacebook #artistonflickr #artistontwitter #steampunk #guy #trickster #god
