Update, mermaid art sneak preview and radio shows

Hi everyone! Yes, I have been away, working on illustrations and some 3d models too. My old mouse is broken so I am using my wacom tablet and cordless mouse all the time. I love this tablet, it saves my hand from having carpal tunnel problems, plus it is so comfortable to work with! I just downloaded the newest version of winamp. I am enjoying a lot of my favorite techno and videogame and anime songs as I work. For all the fans who asked by email, I love listening to techno music while I work, mailnly of DJ Sasha, Paul Van Dyk and the Namco sound team. You guys are amazing! One of these days I will collect every album and track you create! :) I also love good videogame and anime music. When I am not listening to music, I listen to my favorite talk shows:
thedrpatshow.com which keeps me in a positive mood all day while I work on illustrations and creating art nonstop, plus I love learning new things while i work. I can multitask. :)
Newsforthesoul.com I have been listening to Nicole for over six years. I love the guests and the paranormal stuff. Very interesting shows!
Thewonders.com This show is great for all of you who always wanted to know who you really are, and try to find answers to difficult and interesting questions. To my new fans, hello! It is very nice to meet you all :). To those who like to learn to draw from my art, thank you so much for your messages! I am so proud of you! Keep on drawing! Draw the things that bring you joy! Keep practicing so you can become your best! Here is a sneak preview of what I am working on now:
New Egyptian Cobra Queen:
In the inking stages. It was inked with koh-I-noor inking pens on bristol board, 14 by 17 inches in size. It is my new work in progress.
Kimono girl:
I had an idea for a cute girl dressed in a lovely kimono, full with flowers and beautiful designs. I imagine her kimono to be filled with beautiful colors. This one is also a work in progress.
New prints!
The Belly Dancer Mermaid 2: Dance of the seven veils and Mermaid Mom Hugs are now available as 8x10 inch and 11x14 gorgeous colorful prints at: sexymermaid.etsy.com
Well, I must get back to work. And back to listening to my favorite music! I can never have enough techno music in my life. :) Have a great day, and many blessings, everyone! I will see you all soon!

Egyptian Queen mermaid preview 2

Hi everyone!

Just showing you another sneak preview of my Egyptian Queen mermaid, finally inked and with hieroglyphs added. Inking took me over five hours, this was a bigger piece, 11 by 17 inches in size. I used a sakura micron pen to ink this painting. Lately I have been doing a lot of research on Ancient Egypt, which has inspired me to create this piece. I always had a fascination with the mysteries of Ancient Egypt, pyramids and hieroglyphs. The more information I find, the more I am interested in this culture. Enjoy the preview, as I must get back to the drawing board, to finish other illustrations.

Have a great day!

Update!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to wish you all a happy Easter. I have been busy working on many illustrations, and finishing up a few new paintings. The belly dancer mermaid in the rose garden has been finished, after a small delay, due to my busy life but she has been fully painted! and I will be posting her soon. Here is a quick preview of another large painting, 11 by 14 inches in size, of an Egyptian Queen Mermaid! I am still in the process of inking her, using sakura micron inking pens, and I will be adding hieroglyphs to this painting as well. I have always been inspired by the mystery of ancient Egyptian culture. I am fascinated with the secrets of the pyramids and hieroglyphs. I am also taking some time off from painting this month to experiment with international cooking recipes. Cooking is one of my other passions besides painting with watercolors. I hope everyone enjoys some good chocolate! I will talk to you all soon! ~Sofi! :D
