Commission Heather Fairy by *rainbwice
Another fairy turned centaur commission for JKrolak of his fairy girl Heather turned into a centaur. She’s swinging on a vine because she’s turned more wild than her former conservative live. And thank goodness for horse references. The back legs are totally possible. The front were changed to be more dynamic as per request.
ZORILITA PLUSH DOLL SALE!
Before I head out to San Diego Comic Con this year, I’ve decided to hold a Temporary Doll sale. Normally I have to charge about $20 including shipping but for a limited time only you can get the same adorable awesome original plush Zorilita dolls for only $15 flat! So if you’re in the USA and you’d like to get the sale price dolls go here. http://marybellamy.com/tempsale.html
On pitching animated shows for girls:
If you talk to the people in charge — the people looking to invest in these things and, unfortunately, the people who usually tell you no — they’ll tell you that girl things just don’t get the numbers. It’s a business and you need to make money. The girl books don’t get the ratings, the girl books don’t get the sales. Unfortunately, a lot of people will tell you that this is because girls aren’t interested in cartoons or girls aren’t interested in comic books.
I don’t think that’s true. I think the reason that might be is because most of the stuff for girls isn’t hitting them in the right place. All too often, “for girls” means “for little girls.” They won’t target an 8-year-old or a 10-year-old. An 8-year-old isn’t going to be interested in something that’s aimed for a 5-year-old. And, when they do gear stuff for 8-year-olds, it’s all about combing your hair and clothes. I don’t think girls are interested in that kind of stuff. I think they’re interested, but I don’t think that they’re interested in stories about it or characters whose lives revolve around it. I just don’t think that enough people have made stuff that was good enough or compelling enough to bring the girls in.
Girls’ stuff doesn’t get the same kind of budget that the boys’ stuff gets. It’s usually lower quality and kids can tell that stuff. Instead of blaming it on the quality, they’ll blame it on the gender. They’ll say the stories are for girls. That’s what’s making it not work, where I feel that it’s the quality and the content that’s making it not work. I’m hoping for people to put a little more faith in girls. Too much stuff for girls is about tea parties and holding hands and skipping down the lane.

Another 5finity AP card commission. This time it’s Josie and the Pussycats. Each is $25 if you’re interested. I have 5 left.
So, it’s my birthday today and I’m so thankful for all the bday wishes and comments! I’m going to be going to see the penguins at the Long Beach Aquarium, going to see The Hunger Games, finally, and then to the Outback for dinner. I woke up to find flowers and presents in my office. Going to wait until Mom gets up to check em out though my cat seems particularly fond of the wrapping. XD

Thanks again guys! See ya soon.

Ninja High School ATC Preview by *rainbwice
So I was invited to draw for the Ninja High School ATC set out with 5finity…and since I’m pretty speedy I already had all my cards approved and this was the chosen preview card. I did a mix of chibi and full bodied characters. Just wish this scanner didn’t blow out the blended oranges here. Ah well.

ATC commission Fairy Hit Girl by *rainbwice
A few PATC card commissions. First is a random fairy girl with red hair and freckles. And second is Hit Girl from the movie Kick Ass, which I’ve never seen.
Drew this a long time ago. Not liking the bag hand but ah well. I have to say I miss the older, original designs.
Galaxgals INC AP commission 2 by *rainbwice
Two more Galaxgal Eradication LLC AP commissions. I just wish my scanner didn’t maul the colors.
Hollyann ATC commission by *rainbwice
I’ve always loved how bright and playful 
‘s character is and so I was delighted to get a commission request. So here she is with some blue roses. I want to put backgrounds on these commissions whereas my pre-made cards don’t tend to have them. Also, my scanner doesn’t like markers most of the time so it’s not as accurate as it could be.
