Latest Commission

I'm really into those old black telephones.

Sorry about the watermark but this now belongs to someone else.  If you steal if from me, you steal it from her too.

Tobie, the Leopard Gecko

What?  No new art since January?!  Well, I have done new art, but it's all for work so I can't post it here.  Until this, that is!

This was a commission by a friend who had recently lost their dear pet Gecko, Tobie.

Pretty Serious

For almost a year now I've been working with this fantastic entrepreneur who started her own cosmetic company called Pretty Serious, in Australia.  It all began by doing a header for her B movie review blog, B Movie Chicks, which then lead to me doing pinups for her different lines of products.

Creating her logo design is what lead to the girl painting her nails that I've been using on my blog and website.  I also helped design the packaging for the products.

Hello World!

This one is based on computer lingo.  I've always been an Apple girl, so I've never witnessed a Blue Screen of Death but I'm sure the colour is nicer than the situation.  See the colours HERE.

In The Night

This on is based on an old SNES game, which I never played, but I recognized the character design.  See the line HERE.

Monster Mash

Ok, this one I really enjoyed doing.  Anything kind of monster related and my eyes and ears perk up.  You can probably guess who each of the little, soon to be blended, monsters are based on.  See the colours HERE.

Emma Louise

Last and more definitely not least is the charity driven colour.  To celebrate a friend's birthday, she got to design her own colour with the profits of the sale of this colour going to her favourite charity.  It's a limited edition too!  Read more about it HERE.

It's been a pleasure working with Pretty Serious these past few months.  Me being in Canada and her being in Australia hasn't hampered our work.  It just bends my mind a bit thinking she's replying to my emails from the future because of the time difference.

Christmas Art Trade

 It only took 7 months, but my friends and I (almost) competed our Christmas art trade.  We "commissioned" each other with a subject and this is my result.

Beastly Rock Chick

Lady Terminator

Ape Guard

 I figure if we commission each other now we should have the art done by this Christmas.

Anyone want a cowgirl?

The person who commissioned me to create her has had their plans delayed and now they don't want her anymore.  The day came where they said they would have things "taken care of" (which I took to mean "paid off") but, nope.  Luckily I got paid for the sketch.  They seemed very excited once they saw the coloured versions, even gave some input to change some things which I did but now it looks like I'm out the final payment and the cowgirl is now mine.

So I'm going to offer her as a 8"x14" print (just the full body version, see it below) for $20, including shipping.  Just email me (via the Commissions page) or comment here and we'll trade info.

Paint your nails, ladies!

Some commission work I did a little while ago is now LIVE!  So I'm happy to point you towards Pretty Serious Cosmetics where two of my ladies are being used for a new line of nail polish. 

This one is an unchosen sketch that I really liked so I coloured it up for myself.

Donation Sketch!

Here's Chang from the first paintball episode of Community.  The doves were the donator's idea...

Thank you to everyone who has donated for me so far!!

Walk to Fight Arthritis Done

Thanks to the people who donated and got a sketch from me in return.  It was very generous of you to do that!

It was a cold, windy and rainy day but there was a big turn out and our team walking the entire 5km route.

Walk to Fight Arthritis Donation Sketch

Another donation sketch!  It's Darla Dimple from the movie Cats Don't Dance.  I've never seen it but I want to now.

I'm still taking sketches for a $10 donation.  If anyone wants one, just donate here and then forward the confirmation email to me at leigh @ leighyoung .com with a description of what you'd like me to draw for you.  I'll draw just about anything!  I mean, no one has to see if except you and me... I'll take sketches until May 15th, the day of the walk!

Another $10 donation sketch

Another donation, another sketch.  You want one too?  Yes?  Check out the details.

First $10 Donation Sketch is done

It's Pearl Forrester from Mystery Science Theatre 3K!

Do you want a sketch too?  Here are the details: Walk to Fight Arthritis: $10 Donation = A Sketch

Walk to Fight Arthritis

I'm going to be walking in the Walk to Fight Arthritis this May 15th and I thought I'd see if I could raise some extra money for our team.  You can read more about it HERE.

For a $10 donation, I'll draw you a sketch of anything you want.  Cool?

Just donate HERE and email me at leigh @ leigh young .com a copy of your confirmation email with a description of what you'd like a sketch of.

I'll complete each sketch in the order that I get emails.

I'll keep these commissions open until May 15, that's the day of the walk.

So, don't make me look like an idiot by having no one donate for me.

Thanks!

Peaches and The Firecracker

This is a commission for The Malamondos.  It's to do with a song on their new album.  I'm thinking it will end up on stickers and maybe a t-shirt, but that's up to the band.  Therefore, the image belongs to me AND them.  So if you steal from me you're also stealing from them.  And you don't want them mad at you like that.

Boy, it's been ages since I drew a luchador.  What a phase that was, way back then, years and years and years ago.  Yeesh.
