I'm Back ^-^

***Sorry, this may be a bit long....

So I got back from Baltimore Comic Con yesterday. I had a great time there, everyone was generally nice and friendly and there was so much talent in the artist alley. I'm not good with names but I do remember the array of awesome art everywhere. I met a couple of people who knew me from online which was awesome. lol, sometimes I don't think people look at my work but there was a ton of people who recognized my art, it was great.

I wasn't able to leave my table much because we were pretty busy. When I did I had to make it quick. In fact I quickly toured the whole artist alley (178 booths) within in 30 mins. I wish I could have spent more time talking with the artists. I did talk to a few artist such as Brian Kong, Joe Peaker, Nicole Goff (we went to Joe Kubert school together) and several others. I'm not very good with names but I do remember faces and the art work. Thanks for those of you who stopped by or purchased items, I appreciate it! I will defiantly make a effort to come back next year. I need to get my finances straight for now, this was my last con of the year.

Ok so on to the good stuff. I forgot to take pictures of the majority of the con sketches I did so if you have any pics. and can send them to me then that would be great. I managed to get a pic. of one sketch that Arie Monroe and I worked on. This is of Poison Ivy. I did the pencils and Arie did the color work. We have not done a collab. in ages so it was alot of fun despite that we only got 3 hours of sleep once it was completed. This con sketch was for Tom Andress (he works with Frank Cho). Tom knew of our work from online and ebay so he commissioned us for this pieces, we were honored. Thanks Tom ^-^





I was not able to take alot of pictures with other artist and stuff like I wanted too because I was glued to my table but I did manage to snag a few cosplay photos from my table. I hope you enjoy them:

From left to right:

***Powder Toast Man was Easily my most favorite Cosplay of the weekend, it was so epic!

***Thanks to all of you who let me take pictures, You all did a great job!

Thanks to those who commissioned me or bought work from me or even looked at my work. I was able to pull most of the money together to pay for the con. I should be able to make up the rest at the convention.

On a side note, I will not be posting for the next couple days because I'll be at the convention. I'll give a full report when I get back. Thanks for checking out my blog and art. See ya then ^^

Super late post

Yeah this post is super late, sorry.

Been struggling to get a couple more art works done before the convention as well as trying to gather up the rest of the money for the con. I'm still short on funds, hopefully I can make some of it up at the convention (-_-)

Above is a commission I'm working on. Its a work in progress and the final version will be in tonal pencils. Sorry about the poor scan (-_-) The client will pick it up at Baltimore comic con. If you would like a commission too then please feel free to email me: sherryleak@gmail.com

Hula girl wip

A hula girl work in progress (wip). The final version will be in color and I will be taking it Baltimore Comic Con. Stay tuned ^_^

1 down many more 2 go

So I finally got one done but I stayed up to 6am getting it done O_0 so tired.... still have some other art works to complete and still need to make $360 in 8 days so I can have a successful trip to Baltimore comic con on oct. 10-11. I was planning on taking this piece to Baltimore comic con but since I'm still short on funds it is up for grabs so please send me a message if your interested. Thanks. Many more to come.

Still not done...

So I was hoping to have some color work done so I can show here but it seems that I can't work fast enough. Sometimes I think if I didn't have to eat, sleep, etc. I would get so much more done but we are only human so thats not possible. I did get 15 new sketches penciled out so they are ready for inks and color. Hopefully should have some colored stuff to show between tomorrow and the 1st. Want to have all 15 pieces done so I can get some prints made before I leave for baltmore comic con on Oct 10-11. Stay tuned.

Bussiness Card Finished ^_^

Final finished my business card. Took me a entire day to complete. I was original going to do full color but I have not used photoshop in 8 months and forgot how to do everything, plus my skills are lacking, I'm on a time crunch and my characters are primarily greyscale anyways so I decided to color them in greyscale rather then full color. Hope you like. I'm planning on sending these off today to get printed. I hope they turn out ok. I will be taking these with me to Baltimore Comic Con ^_^

Business Card w.i.p Pencils

Here are the pencils for my new business card. I'm going to start the digital colors today. I hope they turn out good. Wanted to have some brand new business cards for Baltimore Comic Con ^_^

Business Card w.i.p

So I know I'm tired when I have a cup of coffee which usually keeps me up for hours on end and I still end up passing out. I meant to post something alot earlier. Trying to get so much done before Baltimore Comic con. It can become overwhelming... This is a work in progress for a long overdue new business card featuring my 3 original character from 3 original comics I'm working on. I want to get some clean pencils done and color it in photoshop and add text. Hoping to get that done in the next day or 2.

(>_<) ....................

Current State of mind.....annoyed.


Warning: This is a rant, beware....


So I thought I would have my business card done by now but it still isn't done and the convention is nearly 2 weeks away and I also need to get new art works done by then so I can take them with me to the convention.... The reason why I'm not done with these things is because I'm writing Psyche Papers for a college course. The funny thing is that I'm not in college. I graduated art school last year and a big factor of me going to this type of art school is that I did not need to take core classes like Psyche (I have a short attention span, seriously).

I'm practically taking my mother's Psyche college course, according to her I write papers very well and fast. I feel like I'm in school with her, seriously. She is paying me on the side but you can't buy your time back you know. I'm trying to be nice because she is about 6 months away from getting her bachelor's degree which she needs to start up her own nutrition business. She works 2 jobs and goes to school full time so I know she is struggling so I did not mind helping her out but I am starting to get annoyed at this point. I know absolutely nothing about Psyche. I'm basically reading these long a$$ articles that make absolutely no sense about all these psychologist and writing about them within an hour of reading these ridiculously long and wordy articles. Its so frustrating especially when I have things that I want to get done such as several art jobs and getting ready for Baltimore comic con.

So I'm sitting here listening to some super heavy metal music by Darkest Hour which I don't usually listen to unless I'm really pissed off. I'm about to read, study, and write a 4 page long b.s. paper about Darwin and "Natural Selection" (>_<) (>_<) (>_<) Sigh....hopefully this will be over soon....

Zombie?!

This is my 1st time drawing a zombie. This was a recently finished up commission. If you would like a commission then please feel free to email me: sherryleak@gmail.com Proceeds will help me make my trip to Baltimore comic con in 2.5 weeks.

Next up I'll be working on a new business card ^_^

Baltimore Comic Con

So as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago I will be at Baltimore Comic Con in artist alley with my friend Arie Monroe. Its our first time there, I'm really excited about it. If your going to the con please stop by and say Hi (^_^) If your interested in a commission prior to the con to pick up at the con then we can arrange that. You can send me a email here: sherryleak@gmail.com

Still trying to get funds together to make it to the convention as well as make new art, its so overwhelming. 6_6

Here is what I'm trying to accomplish within the next 4 weeks before the convention:

1) Take private commissions to raise the remaining funds needed for the con. Still need about $500 (-_-)

2) Create New artworks for the con.

3) Create a New business card.

4) Create and submit new art work for the Marla Brea Breast Cancer Charity--- ^_^ Glad I can help.

5) Get started on the latest official card set I'm working on: Dean Yeagle's Mandy

----Sounds like a lot right? (-_-) I wish I had super speed or there was more hours in the day. Well lets see how much of these I can get accomplished....
