In Obscuro - News and updates

New fantasy/surreal traditional painting "Animus"

nelchee@inobscuro.com (Nela Dunato) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:10:35 -0600

I just posted a new traditional painting Animus, another milestone for me in a completely new technique :) I hope you like it. You can see work in progress at my sketchblog, and I was posting my progress before so if you want to be updated on my future work keep an eye on that blog ;)

I haven't posted the last time I added new jewelry, so I'll give some love to my silver pendant:

I was pretty busy in October, I was working on organizing a SciFi convention Rikon in Rijeka, you can see the poster design.
I have to make a new portfolio site, I have it all planned out, but there's so much I have to do before that... le sigh

Jewelry additions

Hi, once again long time no news, but I'm working behind the scenes :)

I have added several items since the last time I posted, so if you haven't been here in a while, here's what's new:

Pink striped skull hair clips I made to order
Cabaret rose ring and hair clip set with rose motif and lace
Swamp brooch featuring a miniature acrylic painting
and finally the new Winged lioness armlet added today

Since I've posted last time I switched jobs, moved into another apartment, and life has been going well overall.

I hope you enjoyed the crafts, and if you'd like to be updated on my new additions regularly, there's my Facebook page, and my Twitter profile.

Plenty of handmade stuff, some old some new

Hello people, again I'haven't posted any news for 4 months, so here's a batch of new work I added in the meantime:

ink drawing Underground fruits
"Maiko" hair stick
"Zagorka" brooch and a matching "Jasna" ring
new papier-mâché Oriental demon mask
new papier-mâché Black cat, white cat bin

Head over to the Crafts section if you prefer to see the thumbnails before clicking.

You may now follow my work on Facebook! You can also follow me on Twitter, however you'll have to excuse my occasional Croatian blabber :)

I will be testing the new newsletter feature today, I hope everything goes well. I'll try to make this feature a bit more advanced for your convenience.

New drawing "Care"

nelchee@inobscuro.com (Nela Dunato) — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 18:11:20 -0500

Yesterday I added a new traditional drawing to the gallery, Care. It's a quick emotional piece with the medium I didn't use in a very long time - watercolor pencils.

New artwork and jewelry

Hi everyone, I'm not writing updates, but it doesn't mean there are no. I recently moved to a new apartment and still have no internet at home.

Some weeks ago I added a few new items:

a new experimental traditional artwork Fatigue
Anatomic heart brooch
Bunnies couple earrings

Enjoy the new updates, since I don't know when I'll be able to add more.

New artwork: Sharp tongue

nelchee@inobscuro.com (Nela Dunato) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:45:47 -0600

New traditional painting added to the gallery: Sharp tongue. Back to my dark art roots...

I added a new tutorial some time ago, How to turn vector brushes into real vector shapes in Photoshop and Illustrator. It's a short tutorial to get you started if you don't know how to enlarge vector brushes.

If you use Twitter, you can now follow me. I'll post new work and short updates there, and probably a bit of some private gibberish in Croatian.

New brush set

nelchee@inobscuro.com (Nela Dunato) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:32:44 -0600

After a long, long time I added new Photoshop brushes. Here's a proof I do listen to your needs — I noticed that one of the keywords you used in searchng brushes was calligraphy so I decided to make this set.
I couldn't find my book about calligraphy so I just improvised with my handwriting.
It's not intended to be used as a font since letter sizes are not equal, but I suppose you can still achieve some nice effects.

Please note, this brush set is made in CS2 so it may not work in older versions.

October...

nelchee@inobscuro.com (Nela Dunato) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:10:38 -0500

My favourite month for many reasons, and one of them is birthdays. My own, but other people's too. So I present you two birthday presents I did, one for myself: a traditional mixed media piece Narquelië, and a polymer clay bracelet for a friend Counting sheep.

EDIT : Ok so I have a new drawing up, but I don't want to write a whole new post. Behold, the Cauldron. You can see the pencil lineart at my sketchblog.

Have fun celebrating Samhain, Halloween, or whatever you're celebrating (if anything). Cheers!

New artwork: The Desert

nelchee@inobscuro.com (Nela Dunato) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:49:56 -0500

New digital painting added to the gallery: The Desert.

I've deleted some of my oldest work. Now my traditional art gallery is sadly empty, but I guess that's better than filled with crappy "art".

Crafts galore

nelchee@inobscuro.com (Nela Dunato) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 10:34:17 -0500

In the past month I've been updating regularly, but I didn't write any announcements since it was only crafts I was adding. Today I added two more items, and there will be more in the next week or two, so if you stop by take a look.
