Alphabeastiary-Bush Dai-Dai

My submission for the letter B on Alphabeastiary: the Bush Dai-Dai.

This obscure monster hails from the jungles of Guyana in South America and has its roots in Caribbean folklore.

The Bush Dai Dai will take the form of a beautiful woman and appear to travelers or in miner’s camps, and seduce a weak man she might take a fancy to. After having her way with the unfortunate she will change into a wild animal and eat her victim as they sleep. She is a mixture of the succubus myth with a dash of werewolf thrown in for good measure.

Alphabeastiary: Angha

Alphabeastiary is a bi-weekly art challenge blog that I will be contributing to! Each week, a new mythical creature is posted and we are to submit our original takes on the creature. Eventually, we will make it through the whole alphabet! The first creature is an Angha, which has the head of a dog, feet of a lion, and peacock tail and wings.

Here is my submission! Check out the rest of the blog for other cool entries!

Today's project: Comic Book Coasters

I got a new table that is wood, so therefore, I needed coasters!  Someone gave me a bunch of old comic books, so I went through them, found some cool panels, and decoupaged them to cork board to make my own coasters!  I think they turned out pretty cool...but the mod podge kinda wrinkled the paper more than I would have liked. I think I will look for a new technique next time...maybe I will make more!

A detail I like...the front and back side are from the same panel, just different parts of the image.

this guy is cold.

I am not cold.  Still about 80-90 degrees here in Atlanta...though it feels a lot cooler than it has been!

just for fun.

Some recent work

Been getting into watercolor lately...having a lot of fun with it!  Also seem to be into bunnies lately....
