Holly The Terrible's Art and Life
Getting it out of my system. Though not really.
I am working on a collaboration project with someone. It is for a contest and it is Phantom Of The Opera themed! So I have been playing around with character designs for it. Also someone mentioned to me that I should illustrate my phanfic when I get the chance to do so. I doubt that might happen though.
Besides all that listed above, I have been working on other commissions that have nothing to do with PotO. Pictures will appear once mentioned projects become finished.
Yes, I am still working on all Peter Pan and Wendy related stuff. Including the epic fanfic plus illustrations. Expect that to be completed in the year 0f 2020, >cough< give or take a few years.
On a personal side note, I am waiting feverishly for A Monster in Paris to come out in theaters! It better be near me too! If I don’t get to see this movie, I will bleach all the bath towels!

Hello All!
I have been drawing like mad lately. Really been trying to get better at it. Don’t want the young art students kickin’ my ass in class.
So here are two of my latest scribbly doodles.
First one is a quick sketch for a painting idea I have. It’s of the masquerade scene in The Phantom of The Opera. With my own style/twist on the subject of course.
The second is of Gwen the Ghost (before she got a touch of paint). The finished/painted version is up in my Etsy shop.
I have just noticed that I have been drawing a lot of ladies in dresses that get blown by a breeze on the same angle! Huh? What’s that about I wonder…oh, well, time to move on!
TO THIS!
Gotta love that Labyrinth! If you don’t, then I’m afraid we can’t be friends.
This is a rough preliminary acrylic painting on watercolour paper. It is around 6″ x 9″ in size. I’m thinking of changing things around a bit. I might want to add dancers and Sara in her ball gown within the orbs/bubbles. I also need to fit Sir Didymus in somewhere as well. Not sure where though? Don’t worry. The larger version won’t look as crammed as this small version. Hopefully. The panel I will be painting on is around 18″ x 24″.
Just a little Notice*
I Don’t Own Labyrinth or any of its amazing characters. Henson, Froud, Lucas, and Jones own it. This is just fanart for my own amusement, and not for sale.
Bye for now,

P.S. Ludo is awesome.
P.S.S. I signed up for the Sketchbook Project again! My theme is “the companion book” and I’m not telling yet what I will be doing for it! It is a secret! I will show it to everyone once it is completed though. So don’t worry.
So I have been missing in action for quite some time because of me getting picked randomly for Grand Jury. Luckily, I did finish up my sketchbook project. So here are a few of the pages that I completed. Actually, almost all of them. Enjoy!
So I signed up to receive my moleskin sketchbook today (should arrive within 2 weeks). I’m really excited about the whole thing. I picked the theme of “science project gone wrong”. MUHAHAhahahahaaaa. I also signed up for the digitizing of my book as well. That way years later on down the road I can look it up and see what I created. Thanks to my friend, Aileen, for letting me know about it.
I have been working on some weird 3D portrait stuff recently. I only have two finished as of right now, but plan on making three more. The materials I have been using are wood (for a plaque base/background), paperclay (an air-drying clay that is adhered to the wood), and acrylics. I like how they look like my 2D paintings, but when viewed from angles, the faces pop out. This project is more time consuming than my usual painting style, but I am quite enjoying it. Maybe one day I will go larger with this concept. The ones I am working on right now only measure at 5″ x 7″ in size.
Again, I most thank my friend, Aileen, for this latest project of mine. She is always telling me to get back into making my 3D art dolls that I used to make while I was at art school. I made so many that now live in boxes on my shelves. I only have about two out on display in my apartment. Guess I still don’t like remembering art school. So yeah… at this point in time, I didn’t want to create a whole art doll. So I decided to create whatever you might call these things. Hmm…what should I call them? Heads on plaques? 3D portraiture? Well, for now, I will just call them the names I have given them. Beatrice and Violet.
Here is some early pictures of the making of them.
