New Art - James Marsters as Spike

[thedothatgirl]

It's been a while since I posted any new original art so here's the latest.  James as Spike - I started, did about two thirds of this sketch when I was on holiday, anticipating lots of free evening time. As things worked out, it was far better to laze around and do nothing drink wine  so I finished it off this week. 

  All things being equal I'll be able to ask James to sign it at the Convention at Halloween :D   Nick Brendon is also due to appear so I'll start on his one next - right after I finish the Dr Horrible montage from the last Con...

It's all go!  Click the thumbnail to see the bigger picture.

Omg! It's awesome! You're great! *-*

Thank you - I do try :)

Oh thats really wonderful! Great likeness.

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. He has a great face to sketch.

Wow, that's really cool! Can I ask what medium you used for that? I can't quite tell..... pencils or pastels?

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks pleased you liked it - For this one I used Caran D'Ache water soluble pencils - they're quite soft for blending - but a disaster if they get wet ;)

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've never worked with pencils like those, just regular pencils.... I guess I need to try out water soluble pencils cause I don't quite like the way pencils blend or don't blend easily XD

And I have to say, your icon is made of win LMAO "And the award for the worst haircut goes to.... David Boreanaz XD"

All that 'big' hair looks like the 90's ;)

I didn't make that icon but I love it so much...

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Awww nommable !! He certainly is. Ooh the twiddly fiddly hair, I always pray for more patience when doing the hair.

Glad you liked it. (Lovely icon btw)

Hmm yes perhaps not in the mood. And ears do give me grief - like you say weird things.

I've painted my daughter when she was a toddler but not drawn her. I'd like to given the time.

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

thank you

[musicbitch.livejournal.com]

Wow, I'm in awe of this. I can barely draw decent stick figures...lol! Gorgeous work=)

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you - I bet they're good stick figures though :)

WOW
I get back at bhome one day and I get one wonderful Spike drawing by you!
I love the look he has on your sketch. You caught him very well.

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Aww thanks hon. So pleased you liked it - He had his serious face on in the photo - with just the beginnings of a Spike smirk.

Gorgeous work as always. I don't know how you do it but I am always impressed. &hearts

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks Lev *hugs*

I don't know how you do it but I am always impressed. ♥

Sold my first born ;) No seriously it's taken me all these years to get a passable likeness.

[likeatruck.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. Incredible job!

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much - Your icon gives me joy this morning at work :)

[utsukushi-mew.livejournal.com]

so i absolutely love your art.

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

thank you very much.

[raspberry-splat.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous upon gorgeous....incredible work. You must know this leaves me weak in the knees...and you're quite beyond amazing. Maybe one day I'll get back to some drawing (when my life gets back to some normalcy, LOL). Anyway, this just blows me away, my favorite vampire drawn by one very superb artist!♥

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Aww Ras thank you so much - I really hope you are well on the way back to a normal life. I do find the drawing/art more relaxing than the vidding but just as rewarding I suppose.

It's a funny thing but when I heard James was appearing here in October I thought of you - I know you would love to meet him.

[messyjessie58.livejournal.com]

wow that's exceptionally accurate! great job!

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks Jessie.
