Newest Deviations

I work in a variety of mediums and my works have a variety of themes. You'll find everything from painted found animal bones and other nature art to fantasy pieces, to original writing and even lots of fanart for some of my favorite things.

Random Favourites

My tastes are varied and, thus, I favorite a variety of things. Some things here are gifts to me, some things are fanart, some are original, and there are even some photographs here.

Wishlist

I don't really have any room on my walls for prints, and expect no one to ever get them for me, but I do like these. Think of this as a secondary Favorites gallery.

Hello, I go by Shadsie. If you want to know my age, I "live outside of time."

I am an artist of varied mediums, some of them unusual. My favorite medium is acrylic paint and I frquently use animal bones as a canvas. I find these out in natural places and meticulously clean them - I don't kill any of the animals to make my art, they're all just found.

Otherwise, I paint on canvas and paper. I draw, I sculpt a little and I even do a bit of digital work - in short, I work with whatever I can get my hands on and do a lot of experimenting.

I have an associate's degree in graphic design, but it hasn't seen much work. I have written fantasy novels that I'm seeking publication for and have not obtained yet. Otherwise, I am prone to becoming obessed with various entertainments and will do fan art for such. My gallery is split between fan art, works on skulls and bones, artwork related to my unpublished novels, original misc. artwork and my jewelrymaking experiments.

I am willing to take concrit on all works unless specified, even on older works for which I am too lazy to enable the new "critique" feature on.


Enjoy!

Current Residence: Hyrule.
Favourite genre of music: Classic Rock, Alternative, Various
Favourite style of art: Fantasy, Nature Art, Surrealism, Realism, Anime.

Shell of choice: Hmm... something made of bone?

I finally buckled down and got some webspace (fairly inexpensively, since I do my own design and coding work).  

[link] -  My writing and art site.  There are first chapters of my novels there as well as short stories, illustrations and even select fan fictions.

[link]  - My bone-art site! This is a revivial of a website I had long ago and had to give up due to server and money issues.  There are pieces and prices there, including pieces that I do not have here on DA!  Yes, I do take Paypal, and if you aren't in the market to buy anything morbid or that perfect gift for a morbid friend, you can just sit back and enjoy the gallery.

Perhaps after reading some of my totally-posted-online-for-free (becuase who else is going to read them?) surreal short stories...

Anyway, yeah. Websites. I have them now.  I'm paid for about two years, I think.  

Advice: GoDaddy is pretty good for pricing, but they aren't particularly user-friendly, so if you wish to get your own sites with them, be warned that you will have to wade through tons of advertisting and "let's try to sell you more product" to get anyting done (even something as simple as logging into your own FTP).  I've always found that annoyance is the price for affordability, with everything.

Hello! We've featured you for the month of August in the #skull-painting group! You may get a few requests from me for work that hasn't been submitted to our gallery yet and if you have anything new to add, just do so as you usually would and I'll make sure it gets to the Featured folder! :)

Thanks!

Sadly, I don't find as much fresh material as I used to, since I live in a suburban apartment now (strangely enough, a few skulls have found me on roadside walks, still)...

I do live next to a cemetary but... no... just no... though it has been joked about in my household. XD

You're welcome! I love your work.

I live in the city too, but a lot of people online sell skulls, so I get those to paint. I've cleaned the bones from roadkill before too, but even that is difficult when you have neighbours close by!

LOL at the cemetery jokes! I work at a funeral home so yeah.. similar jokes!
