Cute Art and Illustration by Amy Pronovost

I promised a friend I would preface any entries with sloths by warning about impending sloths. There are sloths in here. If you love sloths, yay, if not, this is your warning. Sloths appear after the lazer kitten.

I will be at table X26. Come and find me! I will sign artbooks for free, kids get a free signed trading card (Everyone else pays a buck). Doodles starting at $5. Friday i will be running an Ewok mask class for kidlets, and Saturday is ‘You Can Draw Star Wars’ day. Check out the Calgary Expo site for times.

I have the laser kitten artbook piece as my poster. The first 15 people to bring me a copy to sign get a free laser-kitten button! Yay! Buttons!

Oh no, someone charged his lasers!

Did someone say BUTTONS? I have buttons for $2 each. And they’re awesome.

And Stickers! Die cut vinyl. $1.50 each*

And, finally, colouring books. Lovingly drawn and collated by yours truly. $5 each. Full of awesome. I only have 25 of these suckers, but I plan on doing another print run if they sell out. So don’t fret! My luggage was getting heavy.

Of course I will have my usual fare of prints as well. Stop by and say hello at least! I’d love to see you

In two weeks I’ll be seeing Weird Al (!) and I’ll also be in Calgary doing art for you! And you. And even YOU.

I got some victims er.. volunteers to draw some new pony samples for. I’ll be doing either marker or watercolour for $10. Around 4x6ish. I really prefer watercolour, by the way.

You may have noticed the new banner at the top of my site. I have a store at store-envy and I’ll be placing my pre-made art, charms, magnets and sketchbooks there. It makes it easier for you to buy, and makes it easier for me to sell things to you. I won’t be going to any conventions this year, so this will be the best way to pick up some goodies. I am also open for commissions if you want to drop me a line.

There it is again!

The big announcement is that the moonkin pattern is for sale! Knit yourself a friend.

Buy the pattern on Ravelry

Buy the pattern at Store Envy

Buy the Pattern at Etsy

Ravelry is probably the easiest way to buy, because you get automatic delivery of the pattern, but I thought I would add it in other places, too!

Go forth and knit, my fine feathered friends!

After I get some test knitting happened for this puppy, the pattern will be available for sale for $4. it is based on the Moonkins of WoW, but it can also be used to knit an owlbear or just a plain owl or whatever

This took a long time to write, I wrote it as I went along with a test knit, then I typed it up and did the test knit you see posted here. I’m excited!

I sold out at the con, and I have more printed now.

The prints are $5 each plus shipping – $2 Canada, $3 US and $5 International.

I am also taking You-As-A-Pony commissions!

Here’s the deal, any more details than this are more cash!

What you get:

ONE body colour
ONE colour for mane and tail
Relatively uncomplex cutie mark
Eye colour
Your choice of unicorn, pegasus or earth pony.
If you want the mane or tail drawn in a certain way (Straight, curly, long, short) I will do my best.

Unicorn horn and wings: $2
A second character (Like you riding yourself as a pony, or another basic pony in the same picture) – $10

Interested in a pony or a print? Shoot me an email and we’ll talk.

Please comment or send an email to amy at flyingarmadillo dot com and I will ponify you!

I DO have an example of a watercolour pony, but I can’t show it yet as it is a gift. However, watercolour ponies are awesome and not streaky like the marker ones. Note that I cannot guarantee exact colour matching with watercolours.

Below are some I did in Calgary, your ponies for the post con price are guaranteed to be streak free

You-As-a-pony Commissions by ~artyewok on deviantART

This is a crossover piece that I will have available as a print at Calgary Comic Expo. I had far more fun with this than I should have. I was originally going to do a Star Wars crossover, but I felt like doing Xmen instead.

*edit on the 17th of July* I have X-Ponies prints available! $5 each plus shipping. See this post for the details.

I made those cute little mini magnets last year, and they were a hit. I will have them and all this other con stuff from Toronto at Calgary this year. I decided to make more little Illustrator illustrations for Calgary, so I’m not just bringing last year’s leftovers! Here they are (Plus the best sellers from last year, I might make a couple of more sets of turtles, but what I have is what I’ll have)

Assuming Canada Post either doesn’t go on strike, or the strike doesn’t last long, I will also have stickers available. My glossy sticker paper is in the mail. D’oh!

I’m also going to have a new print – My Uncanny Ponies. I just need to finish it up, it’ll be done shortly before the con, as well as some pre-drawn sketch cards.

Hey hey hey! My Star Wars Galaxy 6 cards are back, and as an unexpected surprise, I have three blanks.

I am asking $100 Canadian each for the returns or $125 Canadian for a custom blank. Here are the returns! If you want one and are willing to pick it up at Calgary Comic Expo, you save on shipping!

Dude. OK, so I was cleaning out my email and happened upon some old sent mail that I had not deleted for whatever reason. I found the D6 stats for ‘Castaways of Endor’, three short stories (Which I will be polishing and posting sooner or later) (Which I will post so someone can convert them to D20!) some art I’d forgotten I’d done (Including a bunch of Mr Miyagi type judo masters for a judo website, and some art of questionable artistic value) and some art that I had done, but I’d long since lamented their loss, as they were something I lost in a hard drive crash.

Beanies.

Back in 2002 a site I used to frequent had a Beanies game. You would reload pages, and every now and then you would find a beanie. Then you could trade said beanies and such. The game ended up being yanked because it was, understandably, an enormous bandwidth hog. So here they are. beanies. And these kind of represent the historical beginnings of a style I still use today!

Want a beanie? Contact me. Or comment. They’re $7. Keep the details small, I draw them about 2″x2″, flat colour, very fun to do. I have a long weekend and march break. Depending on the volume I get, I’ll let you know how long it’ll take. I’ll be starting them on Friday.

In case you are wondering, characters top to bottom, L-R:

Tarzy, Rody, Oryx, Ianhorous (All from one of the short stories, Fox-shark, Dead Bird Head Guy (x3 – he needs his own web comic), Dragon-Gecko, Chilly (Belongs to a friend of mine), Beacon, Random white tiger, Flying Armadillo, Amara as Ewok, Amara as Sith, Amara as Jedi, Amara as TMBG fan.

Fan art is OK. I hope you have enjoyed this trip down memory lane!

Allllllrighty!

I am done with the convention, and I have leftovers for sale.

For anything flat + the magnets, combined shipping is $3.00 US/Canada, $5 International

For the charms I need to get some shipping quotes – but it’ll be inexpensive if you don’t live in Canada.
