This Charming Flan & Madame Gourmand!

Here are some of my very latest commissions that I have been working on for two really nice ladies, Daniella and Lauren. I'm so happy that they decided to get in touch because I absolutely loved creating these!

Firstly is the illustration I designed for Daniella aka Madame Gourmand! Daniella blogs about a wide variety of subjects and currently has a lifestyle blog, and a cooking/food blog, which is why I put her in a cookery apron! I had a blast designing this, and Daniella was really lovely during the process. I urge you all to go and follow her on her facebook page here! 

 
This is the banner I created for the really lovely Lauren! What can I say about Lauren? She is just the sweetest! Lauren also has another blog called 'a lauren to herself' where she blogs about fashion, beauty, and just her life in general! This banner is for her brand new bakery blog and I just love the name she chose - genius! Lauren was absolutely delightful to work with, so please go and follow both of her blogs!

Freya Goodacre

I was recently contacted by another great make-up artist called Freya Goodacre to see if I would be interested in producing an illustration for her! Freya mentioned that she loved fairytale's, so I decided to use that as my theme and create an image around that. I decided to use a nail varnish and a lip gloss as the 'characters' one being good, and the other being evil! I'm really happy with how it turned out - let me know what you think!

These are some of the photo's that I used for inspiration as I really liked the gothic look of them. You can find the rest of the set here! I love all of the lace detail around the eyes - it just adds so much interest to her face. 

If you would like to find out more information about Freya you can follow her on Facebook here and also view some of her other looks too! Freya can also be found on twitter!

Freya's make-up work is really lovely and diverse, so please do take a look. 

Thank you for getting in touch Freya!

Karla Powell!

Hey guys! I hope you are all having a good week so far. A little while ago, the lovely Karla Powell got in touch with me and asked if I would like to create an illustration based on her work, and of course I said yes! Karla is a really talented make-up artist who has a fantastic portfolio - I just love the diversity of her looks. I decided to take inspiration from a couple of her looks, but I decided to turn the models into make-up brushes! I'm really happy with how each one turned out. I did take a little artistic licence because I decided to add a little mermaid tail to one of them (I just thought the shape of the brush was a little like a tail!). I have linked all of the images below that I was inspired by.

Stoker

This is my entry for a new competition on Talenthouse (it's still open if any of you fancy entering it too!). The brief is to design a collectible postcard for the release of new movie Stoker which I believe is being released sometime in February. It's also written by Prison Break's Wentworth Miller which surprised me! It looks like it's going to be a pretty interesting movie and I'll definitely watch it. 
Anyway I would really appreciate it if you could take the time to support my entry which can be found here!
There's a brief explanation about my entry on the site so you can find out my inspiration behind the illustration.

Mermaid and the Moon

This is something I finished quite a while ago now but I completely forgot about posting it on here. I really like turtles and this one is just casually giving the mermaid a lift! I hope you guys are enjoying the snow if you have any, be careful if you are venturing out today! xxx

fashfoodista

This is my latest completed commission which was done for Nia who runs fashfoodista! Her blog is a lovely blend of food and fashion, and her features include outfits of the day, and awesome recipes! Her latest recipe is a warming casserole which is ideal for the frosty weather we have been having lately. This was such a fun and cute commission to design, and Nia was really kind and helpful with her suggestions. I particularly like the little cupcake! 

I would recommend checking out her blog!

Acorn

Well, this is another illustration in my animal girl series - this time I went for a cute red squirrel. The red variety are definitely my favourite, but grey squirrels can be quite adorable too. A friend of mine has requested that I do an owl for my next one, so I might base her on Hedwig! xxx
