Abstract – “Deep”
Another of my alien creatures abstracts. I haven’t decided if I like this one or not. I had the idea in my head but the final result just doesn’t match. Just need more practice, I guess. Also need a better scanner, too. This image is way brighter than the painting actually is. Gouache on watercolor […]

Latest abstract piece done in gouache. I’ve had it on the board for a while now with the background done and over the weekend, finally sat down to finish the alien creature-things there. I still need to pull it off the board and trim the edges to remove the staple holes. I’m rather pleased with […]

So it’s time for another postcard swap as organized by Dawn Diamantopoulos. I was pretty eager to sign up again this time around and had been planning what I wanted to do for a while now. As usual, that changed once I actually started working on the postcard, but I’m very happy with how it […]

Now that July is over and the postcard is in the mail, I figured I should post about it. The postcard swap was organized by Dawn Diamantopoulos over on Google+ and I decided to take part. Basically, she assigned names to each artist who joined up and the task was to create an original piece […]

And I’m now under my “real” name. It feels weird to make the change from posting as “Lori” versus posting as “Rhyssa” since I’ve been using my online alias for so many years. Plus the whole starting on the internet (in gaming, no less) back when keeping your anonymity was the way to go. Along […]

How pithy of me. Anyways, I’m getting tired of my own laziness and need to get my act together soon. I want to finish customising a template for the site, I have several ideas for art projects I want to start, I need to finish editing a new theme for the One Manga Forums so […]
