Steampunk gals

It's an old illustration, for a steampunk thieves concept, very similar to treasure island's story design, but I just never got around to finishing them. Enjoy =)

I really do want to use them in a game or something one day.

Vol. IV - Orchid Blue Mystique

For the time I had to work on it, I'm happy with what I was able to do =) Vol. IV is going to be amazing ladies!

"Runaway" Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Technically I made this 2-3 days ago, but this sketch was literally made after listening to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs song 'Runaway".

Originally it was going to be an Alice tribute, but I felt nothing really connected that image to her, so I kept it to just being the song. And low and behold, the weekly theme matches it =)

2hrs in Photoshop


Oh and as for the Video Game girl theme, I had no chance to make a new one, but here's an old favorite:



And the Catgirl theme:

30-45min Photoshop

Sasha Palacio - "Noir Fleur"

I was unable to drop off my piece in time and so was unable to be a part of the show, but I still made the piece for Hoity Toity, so here is my piece! =)



It's traditionally made, with Graphite, Blue animation pencil, and a Pink color pencil. Here's a shot of it framed with me and my Fiance, we were dressed and ready to go to the show too =). But yea, this weeks theme = awesome, and I really hope I get to it! And all the back-ups =P

An update by the elusive Sasha Palacio

Sorry for the disappearing act I was playing, but I HAVE been drawing, just a little late to update =P I actually find myself updating my Facebook page more regularly, since it's quick n' simple, and can be done through my phone =]. You can actually see my all my sketches I've been doing there: The Art of Sasha Palacio So here I have my latest addition to the 100 Girls.

29-100 "Tsunami" Originally a concept for a Japan inspired piece for an art show, but never used, so I gave her a home in the 100 girls =)


30-100 "Yvette" A piece I did during Drink and Draw at Comic-Con this year.


31-100 "Circe" A piece I did at the Drink and Draw event that happens every Thursday night at Casey's Bar in LA.


32-100 "Sophie" She was going to be a viera from final fantasy tactics, but just became a nude girl =P Another piece done at Drink and Draw.


33-100 "Amelia" my French Maid for this weeks theme. A 10-15 minute sketch in Photoshop. He just wants to cuddle =P


It's an old piece, but I'll submit it towards last weeks theme, Pirates! This is Morgana, she's a devious sky pirate. Original character and world =)


And recently, for a group and website I'm part of, PixelDrip, asked their members to design themselves as a game character for our artist page. The site is still under development, but the blog is active and shows lots of awesome stuff related to games and art. So for my avatar, I chose Ezio from Assassin's Creed II, his costume makes me tingle =P The game is AMAZING, but anyway, I wanted to post it here because I designed it to be a pin-up version of me as Ezio, to kinda sum up my style and what I like to draw =) Enjoy! Oh and did a black version based of the unlockable Black Outfit for Ezio in-game that I love soooooo much.



I hope to be more active and post when I have something, that way I don't continue to post large late blog entries and push all the great art further down... I'm sorry!

Tiny Blue Heels

When I was in Japan, I was inspired by almost everything, even the trashcans tucked in the dark gritty alley corners, but most of all was the adorable fashion! One thing that was big in Fall '08 was wearing brightly colored heels to an otherwise neutral colored outfit. Another big thing, especially throughout Spring '09 was black thigh-high stockings(sometime textured ones) with super short shorts. The hair style at the time was a large loose bun at the tip-top of the head, and with a burgundy brown hair color. So I made this little outfit based on that, but probably already worn by a super cute girl in Japan =P

My favorite colors are black and blue, but I do enjoy bold blues against a gray or beige color. Colors to mimic my favorite rainy weathers.

So I give you 28-100 Nanami:

Hope everyone is as anxious for rainy weather as I am! It's too dang hot! =P

...I miss Japan...

I got you a brain, but I eated it....

Taaaa Daaaaa =) My first real Zombie =P And my first Zombie Pin-up =D I wanted to go for the classic Cheerleader Zombie with a 50s look. It's a quick sketch, so don't judge my horrid anatomy and forced perspective =P Oh and I haven't drawn a brain in over 5 years! Since Biology class =D

Well I hope I succeded =/ Oh and Girl number 27/100, Peggie.


Full view for detail.

Mermaiden

Apparently, the GDG gals really love the Mermaid theme =P I think any time we've had it, almost everyone draws something =D

Well, here is my mermaid, I personally like the mermaids that look a little more fishy or nymph-like, but I draw most any type. I still neeeeeeeeeed to draw an octomaid, a octopus-type mermaid =P

Oh and this is girl 26/100 - Myrna

Full view for detail, and I will color this up sometime =) But until then, anyone is welcome to =P Just let me know!

Okay, Update! And Weekly Theme: Lollipop entry

So, I'm camping out at my parents house, with their beautiful internet, and had a chance to scan some old "100 girls in a 100 days" entries. I also was thinking, as I submit to the Weekly Themes, I might as well give those gals a place in the 100. With that I can finish the 100 in this lifetime and accomplish my New Year's resolution of drawing more =)

Okay, so here's this week's theme, Lolli, who is also girl 25/100:
I was inspired by the summer scene and redhead punky girls =P I've been on a freckles splurge lately! =P

My Salsa Dancer is girl 24/100, and I've decided that I'd only count girls not associated with fanart, like my last piece for Daria. That gives my 100 a more original approach and freedom in saleability =)

Here's girl 23/100, Daniella:
I imagine her with a high pitch voice, like Charlotte from Princess and the Frog.

Girl 22/100, Evelyn:

Girl 21/100, Esperanza:

And that is all for now, until next week maybe, but I am attending Comic-Con this year and will get inspired!!! =) Sorry for the splurge of art, I hadn't had coffee for over a week so this morning I decided to make up for my lack of caffeine by drinking the whole 12 cup pot... You can't imagine the amount of times I had to spell check and reread this post, I keep hitting 3 keys at a time and loosing my train of tho..... oooohhh shiney!

Vol. III - Peaches and Cream

I immediately Googled the dessert and upon seeing the delicious pictures, I thought of a sexy freckled(spots/marks on peaches) redhead(redness of the peaches) stripping down to her peaches(inner peaches), and to get into a bowl of cream =P With less than a week to work on it, I'm pretty happy with it.

Photoshop, 10-15hrs
