Kelly Chehardy creates gorgeous fantasy dolls under the moniker Majestic Thorns.

Ondine

She uses Cernit (my personal favorite) or FIMO Puppen for her dolls. They are painted with acrylics, and given a gloss coat.

Kaori

Faces are haunting an melancholy.

Sculpted details add elements of the fantastic.

No linkies today. I think I’ve finally hit my post-Halloween slump. As in I slump over and sleep for a week!

It took me a little longer to pack the raffle goodies than I thought, but they are all in the mail today. Next year, I think I’ll package them as soon as they’re finished.

Here is a pretty to tide you over until next week.

Thomas S. Brown, aka CopperAge, creates work that is both dark and whimsical.

Young Salamandra

He and his wife, Nimue, create the online comic Hopeless, Maine, though as of this writing, it appears to only be available in book form.  [EDIT: I asked, and the site is moving, so the images are temporarily unavailable.]

These Our Revels

Don’t bother going to the URL in the illustration, but there is a dead blog, Hopeless Vendetta, with some fun archives.

Spoonwalker

Much of Brown’s work is Lovecraftian, with an extra touch of fantasy, and a sprinkling of steampunk.

Family Portrait

And let it never be said that he doesn’t have public safety in mind.
