Cute Art and Illustration by Amy Pronovost

My med lab placement has kept me busy, but I do have some random, various arts and knittings for you all!

Things I did in 2011 that I am proud of:

1. Sold a few books, (but didn’t market it well.. so that’s a resolution)
2. Regained my digital art mojo
3. Finished the theory part of my MLT training

How Harold Got His Wings. A fable about a Polar Bear who wants nothing more than to fly among the snow geese

$10 each, all copies include a sketch. Shipping is extra and you get free stickers with every book!

Here is the cover, and I will throw together a teaser PDF.  The interior illustrations are black and white and one of them is below, too!

I knit this cute little mouse family for some good pals in Hamilton.

More knitting and some art are found behind the break, but first: resolutions (The creative ones)

1. I resolve to draw more. 2011 was a rough year as I was recovering from tendinitis of the drawing wrist and focusing on my education.
2. I resolve to learn how to crochet.
3. I resolve to finally finish that knitting pattern.
4. I resolve to sculpt again.
5. I will post more often!

For the past few years I’ve contributed various Wonder Woman themed pieces for Wonder Woman Day in Portland. This year the event has opened up to different female characters, so I chose one of my old favourites – Cheetara. I am a fan of her old, campy outfit. While the new Cheetara is certainly awesome, I am not a fan of her proportions or revealing costume, so I thought I would kick it up oldschool. Thundercats, HO! To get more info, visit the Women of Wonder site.

So here we are. Cheetara!

I did a round of World of Warcraft Cutie Commissions for folks, and here they are! I have one outstanding that’ll end up here when it’s done.

Also, I have this wonderful inkwash bunny that was done as a commissiin. Something that is not a Pony! I call shenanigans.

WoW Cuties Now!

More behind the break

I have an itch to do some visual world building for Amarans. I have a few little scribbles done, but I think I’m going to do some more. Otherwise it’s all ponies, all the time on this end. And there IS such a thing as too many ponies.

Wookieepedia did an awesome job of making my original Amaran Backstory much more eloquent than I had written, so go have a looksee!

Artwise, I have been knitting more than drawing, and the drawings I have been doing have been gifts, so I can’t show them off quite yet.

Thanks for stopping by the site! I will be revamping my store section once I am relocated to have my prints listed, and I will have an etsy store up for everything else.

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.

CCEE has posted their program book, which has a little picture of my artbook contribution in it, so I figure it’s officially safe to show it off. Please, if you’re going to CCEE, pick up one of the artbooks! Proceeds this year go to Make a Wish. Bring it to my table and I’ll sign it, and people who come by with an artbook will get a free postcard or trading card. I am at P09 in the writer/artist guest area, not in the Artist Alley, so come and find me!

The artbook piece is adobe photoshop and to accompany the original, I am very likely going to get a poster printed for the auction.

Hope to see you all in Calgary!

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!

To be fair to the CCEE people, I won’t be posting the final until shortly before I leave for Calgary, or while I am there I took the rough and went crazy, it looks completely awesome and I honestly wish I could show it off now. I used a few new techniques in photoshop using shapes and textures and a multitude of new brushes.

So, look out for the art, it’ll be here eventually. For now I need to draw some art that I *CAN* show off!

First, have a Pangolin in a Dinner Jacket beanie to start your day! What a dapper fellow.

I will be there, will you?

I’ll have more details as I get them, like a table number and all, but I don’t think I’m in artist alley this time around. For those of you wondering, yes I will be doing the ‘How to Draw Star Wars’ stuff again and I’m looking forward to catching up with all you Calgary folks again. I’m sad to have missed Emerald City Comicon.

I will be offering commissions to be picked up at the con, such as bust sketches, sketch cards, cuties and beanies, look for an announcement in April or May for that. I need to get through the rest of the semester first.
