Cute Art and Illustration by Amy Pronovost

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!

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 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!

$15 each, watercolour, around 4×6 in 5×7 paper. (PLUS SHIPPING) All prices are in Canadian

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.
Let me know if you want a brony, I will draw him with a squarer face and/or without eye lashes.

The pose is up to me. There are no backgrounds.

Addons:
Choose your own pose: $5
Complex body colouring (IE multiple colours) – $10 (Like if you wanted something like the X ponies)
Prop (like a hat, small furry animal, simple costume element, weapon) – $5
Multiple mane colours (Like, a stripe of a different colour) – $2
Unicorn horn and wings: $2
A second character (Like you riding yourself as a pony, or another basic pony in the same picture) – $10
Background – Varies. This can push the pony into full commission land as far as pricing.

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

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.

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!

As I have to finish a whack of my Clone Wars cards prior to going to the con, here is a teaser of art so I don’t forget to post it.

How Harold Got His Wings

This is the cover for the book! For the final piece I plan on spending about a month doing watercolour studies for painting the Northern Lights. Or I might do the entire book as my first fully digitally painted product. The book at the con has a colour cover, B&W innards.

2010 Convention Sketchbook

Full of a bunch of never seen before arts and a few old favourites.

Aaaand, finally:

Mini Magnets. These little tiny round disks have been painstakingly cut out by hand and are assembled behind a glass bead thing. I’m selling ‘em for $3 or 2 for $5 because they are quite the labour intensive little things. I will have a larger version of the illustrator icons in my digital art gallery post con.

I hope to see you guys there!

Hey guys and gals! I’ll be at the Toronto Fan Expo this weekend at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre – 27th to 29th.

My location is table P6A – in the ring of guests around the Artist Alley. I’m adjacent to the food court, so I’ll be craving pizza all day.

I will have something for everyone’s pricerange, including

• ‘How Harold Got His Wings’ – childrens book, $10
• 2010 Sketchbook – colour cover! $10 with sketch, $7 without
• Leftover 2008 sketchbooks for $5 including a sketch
• Magnets, postcards and bookmarks ranging from $1-$3
• The remaining ewok and dragon charms at $5 apiece
• Prints ranging from $1-$5
• Original art ranging from $10-$500
• Convention sketches (Include sketch cards, crayon scribbles, sketch drawings and con badges) from $2.50 – $50*
• Kids under 12 get a free quick sketch!**
• Free signed Star Wars Galaxy 4 base card with every purchase.

I *will!* be helping the 501st with their Star wars Kids hour on Sunday at noon. I’ll teach you how to draw! It’ll be awesome

* First come, first serve. I will have a list if things get overwhelming

** Limit one per kid, pieces will be personalized as ‘For *name*’ so they don’t end up as ‘For mysterious Ebay bidder’

I am finished with my semester and I have more time and energy to draw!

Here are a couple of fun pieces. One is a commission of Yoda, and the other is a bookmark I’ll be selling once I get my hands on a laminator.

Hi Everybody! Have some art

Here are my Star wars Galaxy 5 sketch cards, allllll of them. These first six outside the cut are my returns. I am not preselling, but if you’re interested in putting one on hold, drop me a line.

I hope you like ‘em

More behind the break…

(more…)

Now that I am all settled down in my new place, I am offering commissions on my Doctor Who Big Screen blanks.

$100 each, full colour, including shipping. I’ll draw Daleks! Doctors! Whatever!

Below are some samples of some of the cards in the set. Any card I do on commission will, of course, be much more polished than these ones.

Contact me or comment if you are interested in snagging one of my returns.
