Fleece Hat - Naga from Legend of Korra

Here's what I've been working on during my CA vacation (yes, really). A fleece hat of Naga, Korra's animal guide and constant companion from the Avatar sequel series "Legend of Korra." Finished it that Friday morning of SDCC weekend and wore it throughout the convention. This is actually the first fleece hat I've made and it turned out well, with some minor things I will change for the next time I make a few others.

And yes, I will be making more fleece hats, especially as I have plans to do other subjects for hats besides Naga. But this will only be strictly a hobby for me and not my main job. However, if you are interested in a Naga fleece hat or any fleece hat you would like for me to make, please feel free to contact me at melanee.wood@gmail.com for a commission price quote.

Aerial Show-Off Comic - Senior Project

Finally, here after stalling for a couple of months, that and it's just been busy in my life. Anyway, without further ado, here's my Senior Project comic, Aerial Show-Off, staring Sasha and Riley.

Quick Updates

Hi everyone. I just want to let you know, more art will be coming from me soon. Right now am on vacation and getting ready to head home, but first some quick announcements.

First off, I will be opening a store dedicated to all of the artwork and crafts I have made for sale, whether it be made-to-order products, readymades, or convention leftovers. Among them includes my "Taking Flight" mini-comic and a fleece hat I had made to wear at SDCC (photos to come). For those who have had a chance to see me at SDCC and are interested in either product, please feel free to email me at melanee.wood@gmail.com for more information.

Second is I'm working on a main website to showcase all of my projects, including information regarding the story, characters, their world, plus concept art, and eventual pages. My ultimate plan is to launch the site either by the end of this year or the beginning of next year. Don't worry, this site won't be neglected. I'll still post most if not all of my artwork here.

And finally, since I enjoy making craftwork, I'm thinking of the possibly of launching either a blogspot or tumblr just for those type of works. While I enjoy making things like hats and plushies, they are strictly a hobby of mine and not my actual job goal. As such, I want to keep my craftwork and my sequential art, illustrations, and maquettes separate from each other. I may post previews here from time to time, but I won't plan on making it a regular thing.

With that in mind, take care and I'll be back with more artwork.

MLP:FiM - Moonlit Metamorphosis

Another MLP: FiM piece, this time of one of my favorite characters of that series, Luna. Wanted to do some fan art of her as well as experiment with painting techniques in Photoshop (on top of doing as much artwork and comics as possible while on summer break to keep me active), and here's the end result. Overall, I am very pleased in how it turned out. I may do a companion piece featuring Princess Celestia, but that will be for another time.
