Here’s a reminder that I’m still working towards raising money for Paws in the Park! All donations go to the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando to help pets in need! You can donate by visiting this page: http://pago.convio.net/goto/LeiliaSpaniel

Please share with you friends and help spread the word for this great cause!

A few people have expressed interest in donating using PayPal, however the donation page apparently does not accept Paypal donations. If you want to use Paypal and are comfortable sending the funds to me, I can deposit the funds into the donation page myself. I'll send you a screenshot of the donation as confirmation that your donation goes directly to the shelter. Here is a link to my Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/Leilia

I also wanted to mention that at the request of the event runners, I will not be performing in suit at the actual event. I am saddened, but the event coordinator had very good reasons(Official Disney mascots being at the event was a big one) and was incredibly kind. I still plan to attend Paws in the Park in person, and hope that any other Orlando locals will join me!

Need to touch it up before molding, but I think I like this ratty! Definitely going with magnet. Maybe also brooch style pins, but even then I think it’s a bit big for that.

Finally back in the sculpting groove after the holidays!

I can’t believe that 2015 is over! It was a very interesting year for me, lots of exciting changes and new things! I’m very interested in what 2016 will bring. :)  With that said, here is my schedule for conventions this year:

Furry Weekend Atlanta-Dealer, sharing with @goldendruid This will be my first time at FWA, I’m very much looking forward to it!

Megaplex-Dealer This will be I think my sixth Megaplex, and third time in the Dealer’s Den. Really excited about the new hotel!

Midwest Furfest-Hopefully! I really loved going to MFF last year, so I would definitely like to try and go again this year if finances allow. If I do I would like to go for fun again, and not worry about the stress of running a table. :)

That’s pretty much it! I’d like to try and attend the local Elliott’s events again, and maybe do some suiting at other local cons and such.

Also another reminder that I am open for a few commission slots for FWA completion. Pick-up at FWA is  preferred, but if you are not able to attend and are still interested in something, let me know and we may be able to work something out. Commission information and form can be found here:

Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans, Michael Pangrazio, Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie ! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.

There are more background paintings on this article, featuring comments by the masters/artists themselves !
