In-progress:

Been a while since I posted something. Here are two pictures, both for other people. The first is an art-trade in progress:

And the second is a commission-in-progress:

It’s crazy. I’ve been preoccupied again by drama, this time of the living-situation variety, and am going to be moving AGAIN pretty soon. In the meantime I haven’t had too much time for digital art (most of what I’ve been doing are little doodles in my sketchbook), but I am working on the following piece – translating two characters into a story universe of mine. The gal featured below is a bit of a hussy and belongs to me, while the male is quite blatantly referencing my best friend Steve’s character, at his request.

Right now I’m just laying down flats, as this will be a (mostly) lineless image. I’ve only JUST gotten to laying out the background, so you’ll have to excuse me for that! The gent here is pulling up the lady’s boot, but I am lazy and have not done his hands as of yet. I did have a lot of fun stylizing the two of them though, and making the gal’s legs about a million miles long.

The title comes from the fact that this young fellow’s assassination will spur the entire plot of the story, whenever I get out of the conceptual phase for it. Hope you enjoy.

Apologies for the lack of updates, everyone. I had an absolute rollercoaster of a month and spent just about 3/4ths of my time lying on a couch, immobilized by the swine flu, which later developed into bronchitis (what a jerk!). However, now that I’m recovering (with just four days left of pills to go), I’ve been getting back into the swing of things again. With any luck, I’ll have some completed pieces for you sometime later in the month, although right now I’ve been frantically sketching to try and get back into my groove.

… which means, of course, that as soon as I scan them, I’ll have a few more sketchdumps to show off to you all. Keep an eye out!

In some semi-related news, my website is now mostly up, and I have caved and gotten a Twitter. You can find my site at, of course, http://abigailmh.com, and my Twitter ID is just “abigailmh”. I am not quite sure how to use Twitter yet, but I will probably figure it out by the end of the day. Going back to the main site, I’ve also come up with a name for it, with the help of my friend Ed: Sunfruit Studios*! The address might change in the next few months, but I’ll be sure to give you a head’s up if it does. 

*A bit of a funny name, considering it’s not really “studios” and just me. I’m wondering if this will be a problem at all – what do you think? Should I do Sunfruit Studios, or find another name?

I’ll be adding in my NE hunter soon.
