WIP: Fairy Commission for Melina


I'm still working on my unfinished commission for my client Jack's beautiful daughter, Melina. I can't wait to finish the robot one for Alexi (Jack's handsome son) soon. Anyway, Melina made her adorable fairy drawing for me. Absolutely sweet. She's such a sweetheart. I love her!



Apart from this, My close friend Leficia from Australia, who made a knitted beanie for my super belated birthday. She wanted to take a photo of me with handmade beanie. Awwwww... she's such a big talented darling, aye? She knows that I'm a beanie collector (I have more than 20 different beanies, anyway.) Friendship, Love and Trust are priceless, aye?


Whew... dang, I'm a need to finish my 5 awaiting commissions.... busy busy busy busy... I need to have more more more energy!!!! GAMMMBBAARREEEE!!!!!! KAYAAA KOOO YAAAANNNNN!!!!!!! I wanna eat a watermelon right now.... *Mall is so hungry...* It's unbelievable that the weather is totally hot here, like 37-39 degree Celsius. Ohhhh..... Anyway, I think I might be inactive nowadays, I should finish all of my commissions. See you guys soon!

Oh my... those raised textured bits on your painting are so lovely! ^___^ How in the world do you do that? They look... embossed, almost! :D

And the colours are absolutely gorgeous. :) Cheered me up already!

Beanies are cool~ I've made one once, supposedly for my brother but it turned out kinda small. XD It's probably collecting dust at home now.

Haha, did you know "gambar" in Malay means picture? :P What does gambare mean? ^^

That picture of you and Leficia is so cool!! You two have such a fun and relaxed look on your faces :) and congrats again to Leficia for her wonderful skills as a knitter. That beanie is awesome!!

Gosh, you are having 37/39ºC? Waaaa, we want that weather too! It has been raining here all day and the temperatures have dropped a lot :P

Hmm.. i got another bad news dear.. I ask my relatives to help me for my education loan since my parents are not working but they said they can't help me. hmm. :S too bad. I'm so eager to learn in BA (Hons) Illustration. And for now I'm waiting to enter our local university and the course i'll be taking is BA of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (hahah borings subject.. haha).. i just wish that if i have the money.. I'll just fly over to UK! :(

hello mall!! the fairy painting is absolutely gorgeous!!! I love it sooo much! Melina will be happy! such a lovely painting for such a sweet girl! many compliments! you rules!!!

Nicolas Gouny said...

Ohhhh I miss that, I loved to draw a fairy for you !!

Mall said...

pupu: yes, I use acrylic texture and other different mediums, honey. :) try to use it and make textures!

Sorry for your bad news... :( You know what, if you can take up your course Engineering, that would be okay. Still, you can keep painting and drawing during your engineering studies. Like my fellow artists Gerry Alanguilan and Jomike Tejido, they are real architects... they keep illustrating, drawing/scribbling, making comics and painting. :) Believe it or not, I got passed my past entrance exam for taking up Architecture in Saint Louis University before. But, but I finally decided to choose Certificate in FA where I got passed. Because I might not understand those complex words about architecture (that's why I'm a deaf-muted girl). :D If you feel completely comfortable with any course, you can keep drawing and painting! :D Go go go, Rawini!!!! *HUGS*

I really hope your family, relatives and friends will help you for your education loans! It would be so fun and interesting if you take up Illustrations! :D Keep me updated! MWAH!

laura: heyyyy i love that rain! the weather is totally crazily hot here, hu hu hu! My plants need rain! :D Glad you loved it! Mwah!

ann: awwww... *hugs* don't be afraid whatever you draw. I wish I could be with you so I can teach you how to draw and paint! :D

TrüSka: Hehehehehehe, when i have time, I'll take photos of me and Tarsier (hope he will not scratch my face!)

kurachan: :) thanks dear! I enjoyed doing a fairy! Melina emailed me how much she loved it, awww!

nicolas: :D yeah, i remember you made a hommage for me, awww! Merci my dearest friend!
