Finished my entry in Josh's Moly

Hi, there!

I've just finished my entry in Josh's Moly. I'm sorry but I can't post the picture, for I cannot scan it by now.

Anyway, the entry features a big tropical fish (Napoleon) and two monsters swimming around it and observing it! :) There are also an octopus, a couple of starfish, some little fish, corals and algae!

I hope I can add the picture very soon!

Collage Town

So I finished this one and i gotta say, it makes me laugh.
Kelly and Ekaterina both had dimensional elements in this moly, Kelly had glued her charecters on top of her painted background and Ekaterina has an interesting dimensional rainbow effect...that im not sure how she got...but its very cool. So after some thinking i figured id do a collage. It took longer than i expected, but im glad i did it.
The image is a mix of found images and drawings i made, all comped together in photoshop, and finally stained with some coffee, for that personal touch

Where are molys are

Hello everyone.
In my other group (moly38) we have on our side bar a list of who has who's moly and the
status of them like working on it or mailed out. I added that to ours because it has been
great to see who has what and where. Please add your name and whos book you have or mailed out or if your waiting for one.
All you have to do is click the little tools icon by it and it will open a window for you to add the info

finished!!!!!!

Here at last is my finished entry in Ekatrina's moleskin, again apologies to you all but family obligations have been slightly overwhelming this season. Was posted to you Esek yesterday.
all the best Jess

Josh's Moly (via Jesse and Bill) is in Italy

Quick note to inform those who are concerned that Josh's Moly is here. I cannot explain how amazing it looks- for those who haven't seen it/worked on it yet, well...you got to have it yourself in your own hands to understand! Great! I'll draw four pages, then, since Kevin is not in the group anymore.

Bye!

News from the front

Yesterday I recieved a flickr mail from Kevin,
The goods news is that he recieved my book and it will be traveling to lady orlando soon
and the bad news is that he cant keep with the exchange. Because of work he has to do a bunch of long travels and wont have a permament mail direction.
I think this was quite unexpected cause I had some talks with him before and he was all in for the exchange

So, ill be sending BF664's moly to Lady orlando (lucky I didnt send it yet) in the next days and we should look for a fix, which I think in this moment we rather do a bit more pages or something than put in a new member or whatever, what do you guys think?

Molys to Spain

A short note, just to let Cirus/Jose Antonio know that Jesse and Esek's Molys are flying to Spain. You should get them within four/five days. Please let me know when you got them.

Happy New Year, everyone!

I just wanted to write a post to say Happy New Year to everyone. Wherever you are celebrating, I wish you all good times and fun parties with family and friends. Stay safe and make sure to avoid all the wack-o's out there.... well unless you are one of the wack-o's then I don't know what to tell you :P

I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for a great moly experience...this is the first exchange I joined and so far the most reliable. I am in a total of four at this point and getting frustrated with a few of the others. People just seem to be dropping like flies and the rest of us get left wondering what the devil is going on. So thank you to everyone for posting regularly and creating such a fun experience for a newbie :)

Because the other exchanges have made me paranoid I just wanted to ask...is dibujos! aka Kevin still with us? I don't remember seeing a post from him and was just curious if anyone knew his status. Seeing as there are so many of us in this exchange, I'm sure it's easy to get lost sometimes....Just thought I'd ask.

Hope everyone has fun tonight! Stay safe and Happy 2009 to all of you!! Woo hoo!!

Bf66's Entry in Bill/EsekOne' s Moly

Me again!

Today I finished my entry in Bill's Moly, so I'm posting it as well.

I decided to keep some elements from Bill, 'copying' them but using them differently: the idea of the insect eaters; the little butterflies and the flowers, drawn 'in Bill's style'; the little green 'swarming' points.

So you have a nice couple of bean monsters enjoying a picnic out on a sunny day. One of the monsters is trying to catch butterflies for the breakfast; the other is making a butterfly-butter&bread snack. In the meanwhile, a little monster kid's inspecting a worm with a magnifying glass.

I used fibre pens, pencils and 'pencil dust' (I don't know how to say it English: when you sharpen a pencil and use the sharpened bits of colour to draw a dusty background - tell me the name of this if you know, please).

I'm posting Bill's entry on his Moly as a 'reminder', and my entry!

Bill, tell me if you like it! I hope it!

*B*

To Bill: I'm afraid you forgot to put your adress on the fist page of you own Moly, under the indication 'in case of loss...' (a very important piece of info, I think). Would you mind if I do it for you? I have your complete address on the envelopes and I can manage Greek letters. If you allow me to do it, I'll do it.

Bf664's Entry in Jesse's Moly, with picture

Hi, everyone! My scanner seems to have recovered, so I can finally post a picture of the entry I did some weeks ago in Jesse's Moly.

If you take a look at one of my older posts where I describe the drawing, you will be able to read an 'explanation'. Here I'm also posting the photo, so you have the whole thing.

I'm uploading Jesse's entry, than Jesse+Bill/Esek entries, then mine alone- which is the Xmas one.

Hope you like it!

Molyxmas

Hey guys, been having a bit of vacations from work and from everything, but im back into business
So I finished my entry on Beatrice's moly and ill be sending it to Kevin around this next weekend
Gotta ask him if he recieved my moly already, it should be about to arrive =)
Hope that you Beatrice / BF664 likes what I tried on there, the pics arent really awesome quality but I thought I would break a bit the monster continuity a bit with some new elements, well actually I didnt know what I wanted to do but it came like this :P, i've left some stuff unpainted if someone wants to give it more work later on

have a nice new year all

japan

Hi, everyone,
Tomorrow I will fly to Japan for 4 weeks. I did not finish Michael’s moleskine. I also have LadyOrlando’s moly. They will fly with me. I hope we will meet some Japanese monsters. Happy Holidays!

Entry in Jessica's Moly

Dear all,

I've completed my entry in Jessica's Moly (which also features Esek's drawing), but I'm not able to post any picture of it. My scanner doesn't work anymore (I'm getting mad at it and I think I'll smash the damn thing up soon!), so I just can't send you any preview of how the Moly looks so far.

Anyway, I'll try to describe the entry. Given the fact that it's almost Xmas and all this enjoyable atmosphere's around, I got carried away by it. So I have drawn a spooky Father Xmas bringing his sack with presents. The sack is ripped and some presents have fallen and they're quequeing behind Santa Claus: a yellow bean monster, two haunted gift boxes hitting each other with candy sticks, a lollypop licking a puppet boy on the face and more other cute/spooky characters.

I've tried to keep two elements from Jessica and Esek's entries: the horizontal quequeing of the characters (Jesse and Esek) and the purple carpet (Esek). If you take a look at the pictures of they're entries you'll see what I mean.

That's all. Happy vacations to all of you!

*B*

PS Of course, J's Moly'll be sent very soon to Cirus.

Josh's moleskine here in Greece

I received today Josh's moleskine via Jessica.
The artwork until now is gorgeous and you have to see it by your own in order to understand this..
I don't have any ideas yet about what i am going to draw next to Jessica's work..
Let's see:)

Yoda's moly book is getting some bling, baby!

So upon receiving Lady Orlando's book from Michael Nightmare, I noticed something very humorous. It seems Mr. Nightmare decided to pull out the ol' gold pen and put a few gold caps on his ghosts. I, of course thought this was hysterical, but put it out of mind and got to drawing my entry. I decided at the beginning of my entry to use minimal colors and to leave the background open in a similar fashion to both Yoda and Michael, which is something I don't normally do, but I must admit I am pleased with the results.

Anywoo...as I was nearing the end of my shading and coloring in, I looked back over Yoda's book and those gold teeth kept popping out at me. Making me smile and I thought you know what? One of my monsters needs some gold chompers too. Only, me being me, and my sick sense of humor I took it a step further and gave my little guy a diamond grill, LOL. Yoda, I hope you get as much of a kick out of this as I did...because those four little rhinestones were a pain in the butt! LOL. Here, for your enjoyment is a close up of the grill, hee hee...

Ekaterina's Moly arrives via Josh

Ekaterina's lovely book has arrived with Josh's addition, it looks great, Josh also illustrated the envelope, which I have included in the picture.
Esek-one I forgot to say Josh's book is on its way to you, posted about three days ago!
I love the hot colours and delicate gold in Ekaterina's book and Josh's little people.........so will have to think about what to add to this?

Jess

Lady Orlando's Moly arrived safe and sound...

Just an update... I received Lady Orlando's moly in the mail on Friday from Mr. Nightmare (by the way - coolest last name ever!) and was so surprised at the artwork in front of me. Seeing these molies online and looking at the screen does absolutely nothing for the subtlety when holding them in your hands.

Yoda, I don't know how you did it...but those hatch marks on the ghosts are just beautiful. I am both mesmerized and completely jealous....I've no idea how to shade ghosts, lol.

And Michael...oh my goodness, I am stumped on how to incorporate those smooth feathery-like lines into my portion of the artwork. They are just gorgeous up close, I am torn on whether to use them in my piece or find a way to transition away from them....hmmmmm...too many decisions. Hee hee.

My entry in Josh's moleskin!

Sorry it has taken me a while, it's a little more nerve wracking adding to someone Else's moleskin but I got there in the end. Here are my monsters, a kind of mummy monster leading her offspring to whatever may be going on through the following pages?
Very grey days mean it's difficult to get a nice picture so I took a few!

I am also unsure as to whom I am sending Josh's moleskin to now, if anyone knows can you send me details, thank you very much.
