My Bio
I'm Lily!

I'm a portrait artist, and I love drawing and painting people and faces. I've been making art most of my life, but my favorite style is called tenebrism, or chiasoscuro, working with dramatic lighting and shadows. I really like painting 'light on dark' and I've been doing that style for about 10-12 years. I consider my work to be realistic and fantasy based, as while I do base my work on photographic reference, I take the photos myself (fan art aside), and make creative changes to it to get the dramatic look I want.

I also do photography portraiture, but in a fantasy/illustrative style rather than a traditional one.

I'm also almost always open for commissions, so shoot me a message if you'd like to work with me!

Current Residence: NE of Seattle
Favourite genre of music: 80s Electro/Post-Modern, jrock/visual-kei, Instrumental Soundtracks

You may have noticed some fluttering in my gallery. I've got a new set of miniature bat paintings! I absolutely adore bats, so I decided to have some fun and make little bat portraits! They're all 3.25"x2.25" (vertical or horizontal), and all in acrylic over gesso on Masonite board. I really like how they came out, and each one seems to have a little story about them. :) Tell me what you think of them!

Someone please talk me out of drawing Blackbeard. I've now seen Pirates: OST 3 times and I really wanna draw Blackbeard. :P

Cara's portrait is finished, which means my Legend of the Seeker Portrait project is finished as well! YAY! I'm so glad I did it, I made a lot of new friends and connections, improved my techniques, and got some decent fan art under my belt. ;) All my LotS pieces are in their own folder: http://girlgoth.deviantart.com/gallery/26207185 I don't have a WIP animation for Cara yet, but it'll be coming some time. ;) In the meantime, I'm still working on private commissions, but I'm planning my next personal pieces. :)
