sketch of Nalirah for the Blue Canary "Coming Soon" Triptych. i drew this at girlwithoutfear's the other night.For those of you who didn't take art history in college, what's a triptych? no, it's not a tick on acid. a triptych is an artwork that's in three pieces. in medevial times, these would be painted or carved, with hinges between the pieces so the outer panels could be used as little doors. you saw alot of triptychs as altar pieces.
ok, end of lesson.
mine will have some paint, i intend to use watercolor, but mostly pencil, pen and collage. there are no hinges in the plan as of yet, my original intention is to frame it as one piece, but leave gaps between the panels that let the matteboard show through. we'll see.
like i mentioned in an earlier post, i'm creating this as a coming soon image for my nightgig page.

sketch of Odile for the same panel. the hands look good, maybe a bit too big for her body, though. costume also needs work.
