Jewelry design - from sketch to reality II

Lately I've been mostly sketching just jewelry and other handmade items, but I'm reluctant to share them before I'm done with the project itself. So I decided to share some old sketches (some up to 3 years old!) that in the end got turned into jewelry.

Click on the images to see the finished piece in my gallery.

Jewelry design - from sketch to reality

Whoever has been watching my sketchblog knows my sketchbook is filled with swirls, as is the case with any paper that comes into my hands when I'm bored. Last week I was sketching some logos for a company at work, and that wasn't going very well - but I got an idea for something else, sketched it in a few minutes, ripped the piece of paper and put it in my bag. Later while driving in a bus I gave it some more thought and made the sketch on the right in my moleskine.

Jewelry sketches

10 hours of hard work later, the pendant became real, and is so far my best jewelry work.

And I still have a bunch of sketches awaiting...

meet Azrael

This is my Vampire: The Requiem LARP character (I haven't played it yet, it's still in conceptual phase). Azrael is not her real name though, just a nickname she earned through the decades (guess why?)

She's a Nosferatu, but not a typical one — she looks beautiful with no visible deformities, but her mind is another story.
She was embraced as a 17 year old during the WWII.

I think she'll be a fun character to play.

Costume stuff

My friends are attending Carnival in Rijeka so I drew a costume they decided to wear for them.
Black fineliner and marker.

on a trip

I was on a 4-day trip (SF convention in Osijek, Croatia), and during our long train ride I played some boardgames and sketched some random stuff in my sketchbook. Here are two pages I like the most.
