Hey guys! I very rarely update this blog anymore, so if you are interested in seeing more regular updates just pop on to instagram or tumblr and follow me there. @lothlenan on either :)

Painting city backgrounds ~

Some practice~

Some Rick and Morty sketches I had lying around. :)

It was my grandma's birthday a little while ago. She's been gone for a couple months now, but I remember our time together like it was yesterday. After she got Alzheimer's, she would often get very excited during visits and tell us it was her birthday every single day... she loved birthdays. Well, now it finally was (for real). Love you, Gramma! :) xoxo 

Here's a preview of a number of paintings I did recently. I'm trying to keep fan works limited to my separate blog and keep this one more work/original related. But I figured I should share something or other to let you know I still have a pulse ❤️

Variant cover for Todd Matthy's Robots vs Princesses!

Masssssssssive post! These are some studies/lessons/exercises I have done during Schoolism (S  Nielson's course). All the line art was provided (ie: not mine!), I just did the colouring. Mistakes abound. But hey, that's part of the learning process :)

Happy Halloween! 

Found out my aunt took a turn for the better. It's been a really tough road for her this past month, so this pumpkin is for her :)

So since my cover run, I've been asked to do a number of doodles on people's Rick and Morty issues. I never say no. It's just too much fun!  Here's a couple I managed to grab pictures of!

A little off topic, but I've recently been asked by a few followers why I've been a little quiet the past month or so. I admit I've always been kind of abysmal at updating and replying, but I do want to apologise. Work takes priority, and I can't share anything under NDA... but it's also been a tough year for my family's health. My grandmother is going through a quick onset of alzheimer's, and my aunt is ... not well. We're really hoping she recovers. I'm staying positive, as is my family, but it does distract me from smaller tasks like updating my web presence. So to all the people who I owe a debt of gratitude for your show of patience, support, kindness, and understanding... thank you. I hope these sketches will suffice for now, and please send over any extra good vibes you may have. :)

And there's the Gnar I teased earlier :)

Betty Boop! Had the urge to do something painterly, so did this in between work. Composed it to kind of go along with the Jessica Rabbit I did :)

Poor little Teemo doesn't know what he's stumbled in to xD

I think I enjoy posting works "in process" more than I do my finished stuff?! Yeah. I think so. Anywho, I finally managed to get some time and work on LoL stuff. Here's a sneak peek at what's been on my screen! Oh -- and I'm in rank Gold now! Yessssss.

I just found out that Simon and Schuster has released a beautiful hard cover book of Adventure Time's Candy Capers: Mathematical Edition! Inside are all the various covers from us artists. Go check it out :)

I AM ALIVE! :)

Above: Sneak peek at an exclusive charity piece I did recently!

Aside from current projects, I've been eaten up by Dragon Age: Inquisition -- now I've been spat out and anticipating the inevitable DLC. Oh, and puppy. I'm an overbearing puppy mum who spends way too much time fussing over her dog, I know. In my defence I've got a gajillion in-process works going. I just can't seem to finish anything!! D:

Well, except for this. I finished this. But good causes are always the exception, haha.

Also, is it my imagination, or are there a ton of weddings and engagements this year? Should be fun, though it did mean I had to turn down my professional badge for SDCC. Yeah, I know. I'm doing weddings instead of comic con. Take away my 'geek girl' title now. :O

Can finally let this thrilling news out of the bag: Rick and Morty is now a comic book! And I had the awesome opportunity to work on it :)

This is an exclusive cover only available from Four Colour Grails, you can order yours there!

Here's a few doodles I kicked out during warmup today~

Quick doodle of a fawn girl. Inspiration credit is thanks to my pal J Scott Campbell ... awesome and amazing as he is.

Thanks again everyone who participated in the giveaway draw. Response was staggering and I'm glad to say that the two winners received their art in good time before Christmas. One winner in the USA, the other in Estonia. Boy, lots of international fans!!! I'm very grateful for all of you.

Hope you all had a happy new year, too! Lets learn our lessons from 2014, and make 2015 a better than ever year for everyone. :)

I took part in Skytopia 2's art development, and I was primarily a colourist. I have yet to put it in my portfolio, but here is a little tiny preview of a few ADORABLE critters I was able to colour up for the team. To go play the game, go to their Facebook page!
