2009-10-20T02:22:00.011Z

More grinding to try level up!

Frame from the movie Doomsday, this is the only memorable character in the movie (imho), but only had one spoken line :P

Two frames from the tv series Fringe:

Life study of my desktop companion, was quite a struggle as this is the first time I'm doing a study from life. I did this awhile ago, but I realized I forgot to post here :P

Some new studies

2009-08-28T11:17:00.007Z

Been trying to improve myself, and the only way to do it is more studies!

5 hours, this is from a photo of Selma Blair in Flaunt magazine. I really like the layout of the photo so this is one I enjoyed studying alot.

full res view

1-half hours, this is from a frame from the tv series TrueBlood

1 hour, an old black-and-white photo of Monica Bellucci

Arne birthday tribute

2009-07-24T16:32:00.014Z

I've been a fangurl of Arne's art for awhile and I think it'd be wrong if I didn't contribute some panties for his birthday (23rd July) :D More panties contributed here.

Commissioned Characters

2009-07-16T06:15:00.011Z

Posted with kind permission.
Side note: both characters are pretty much art-directed (design/poses/layout/owl, etc) by their respective clients. My own ideas and additions are mostly clothing/armor design and other small stuff. These are obviously a little different from what I mostly draw on my own, so I want to give credit where it is due :)

Requested Poster Prints now available

2009-06-03T05:53:00.033Z

I've shopped around for awhile to find sites that offers reasonably-priced high quality posters, and decided on cafepress, and now poster prints are finally available for Annah and Dak-hana as often requested. I've made some adjustments to optimize these for print, so they're slightly different than the original layout.

To make requests for prints of other paintings I've done, feel free to leave a comment here. Side note: if you make a purchase, please contact me. Customer feedback is important to me :D

Dominance War IV - week1

2009-04-10T12:34:00.010Z

decided to join in this year's DW fun :D comments and critiques welcome

Demon Princess - Dak-hana: The Brooding Hunger

Character Description:
Dak-hana is a Demon Princess whose stomach is a "gateway" that opens to the darkest pits of hell where nightmarish creatures reach out to grab at everything. Anything that passes into the "gateway" of Dak-hana's belly will lose all their lifeforce and soul (if any). Some of the physical pieces are absorbed to be incubated/stored as parts to create offsprings.

When Dak-hana has eaten enough, she gives birth to undead abominations that is made up of all the bits and pieces of creatures/beings she has incubated. These undead abominations become her minions and army.

Because of this, Dak-hana usually become most powerful in battle, where she gets a large supply of "food".

Her favorite food is goldfishes.

Succubus

2008-12-30T04:36:00.005Z

I've never agreed with the usual horny bat-winged demon-cheese that usually goes with the word "succubus", so this is my idea of a sex fiend :P This started out as two separate practice doodles on OC and I thought I'd combine them into a single piece, as you can see in the really nooby painting process below:
all in good fun :D

the WIPs:

Knitting Centaur

2008-09-04T01:06:00.010Z

I wanted to do something different for a change, and this was what came to mind. Many thanks to davi and yoitisi for critique that helped me along. This piece was quite a learning experience since it's made up of almost everything i rarely draw :P

My messy WIPs:

Evil Clown

2008-08-20T17:50:00.011Z

This is probably my fav character i've ever created so far, didnt use reference either, so if anything looks wonky, that's why :P i started this character sometime last year based on a forum weekly activity topic, but never got very far with him back then. I recently found him almost forgotten among my files and thought i'd properly finish him up cos he makes me smile.

ChOW 108: Hot Male Vampire Pinup

2008-03-02T21:53:00.009Z

entry for this week's ChOW at ca, i couldnt resist the silly topic `(o . °)´
edit: i got alot of feedback from the forum that this piece is too close to the ref image i used (i posted that in the wip thread), so i thought it'd be fair if i linked the actual photo used here too. i guess i still don't have enough confidence to draw guys so i'm clinging abit too hard to source :| spank me, need to draw more guys..

Wolfmother

2007-09-16T08:13:00.000Z

think i'll call this piece a fan-art :) i drew this based on a concept by Davi (his original piece), i just loved his concept/idea of it, something different and cool

also did some wolf studies, since i haven't done any proper studies before.. they're really fun to draw, the snarls are especially interesting to me, the way it contorts the default shape of the head

Refd Practice

one fine day on irc, john_o linked this ..too cute! <3 ..so yeah, it's all his fault :P and so i designed a set of twisted ponies (including my version of Pyramid Head pony).

and just for grins, i used my bondage pony's butt symbol for a t-shirt design:i think this is one of the few symbols i've personally designed that i like very much, probably because it's very personal, heh.

Monday: low res

2007-02-05T07:30:00.000Z

a really low res version of Monday for animation purposes, remodelled from scratch based on the medium res version, wanted to see how low i can go with the polycount while keeping full anatomy details like all fingers and toes and ears and proper mouth and eyesockets.. really happy with the resulting 1982 tri-face count :D
UVs also match the higher resolution versions.

Monday: basic mesh

2007-02-01T23:59:00.000Z

About commission availability or personal news

2007-01-01T00:41:00.019Z

Contact for info: michele.deadred (at) gmail.com

[updated February 2011]

If you have emailed me regarding possible commissions during this month (February) or earlier, I will still be available for work at the timeframe I have previously mentioned. I'm currently really busy until March. I'm always available for discussing commissions for a later date, of course :)

If any studio is hiring, I'm interested in full-time on-site work.

I'm a quiet and hardworking little geeky girl. I draw real nice, learn new skills fast, and I'd like to think I have a great sense of humor (penis jokes count, right?). I'm also able to move anywhere: I have no pets, no babies and no addictions.. well except for coffee :P If I can get caffeinated at your studio, I'm good to go!
