Christmas 2012 Petit Fours

Tried switching things up this year and made some petit fours. I think I might need to accept that anything in cake form, unless it's a cupcake, is not really a good medium for me to work in. This was my first time trying these, and it will probably be my last unless I learn an easier way to make them.

These were made of red velvet cake and brownies.

Christmas 2011 Cookies

Some of the Christmas cookies I did last year. Both gingerbread. The center of the snowflakes is isomalt. Surly gingerbread men ftw.

Veg

Veggie (and egg) cookies, for my pescatarian cousin Victoria. :) These are some of my favorites.

Sudoku

Sudoku cookies, for Nancy.

Moar Birds

I mentioned that I like birds, right?

CNY Rabbits

Rabbits, for Chinese New Year. :)

Tiny Bluebirds

These were pretty tiny. I like frosting tiny cookies

Mondrian

Mondrian cookies, for Kat. We've been to the MoMA a lot. :) Ever seen the Mondrian cake? Very cool.

(more under break)

Henna

Henna cookies for Niki! Experimenting with piping.

(more under break)

Pandas

Made these for Kat's art show. Someone asked me if I used real pandas in these cookies; my reply was no. Just panda extract.

Guitars

Guitar cookies for Russ. Finally, a reason to use my damn guitar cookie cutters.

(more under the break)

Hachikuro

Honey and clover sandwich cookies, kind of a cookie homage to the series...Honey and Clover. I looked into types of non-opaque frosting, hoping to actually make the honey look like honey, but couldn't find any options at the time that would dry hard and taste good. Maybe isomalt next time?

Da Bears

Bears! A gift for my cousin Victoria.

Frog Cookies

I discovered about a year ago that I really frigging loved decorating cookies, so please be prepared for some bakingspam.

These were the first cookies I ever tried to decorate properly with royal icing; they're kinda weird and the icing was a little too runny. But I was happy that after getting an electric mixer, my icing turned out matte for the first time.

Illustration Friday: Frozen

Another one for Illustration Friday; the theme was "Frozen" this time. So I decided to do my interpretation of Jack Frost. Paint Tool SAI.

KHR: Fong & I-Pin

Another old print; I think this was when I started to fully appreciate Paint Tool SAI. Fanart of the characters Fong and I-Pin from Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

Speedpaint: Home

Original characters, openCanvas.

Illustration Friday: Welcome

Did this for Illustration Friday. The theme was "Welcome", so I decided to illustrate that moment where I'd walk into the Japanese supermarket and all the staff would welcome me with a rousing "Irrashaimase!", as they do when they see a customer enter.

Art Dump 2012

Going to start keeping a bunch of my older finished art here, for lack of a better place to host them.

I think this was from back in '09; original characters having a laugh. openCanvas and Photoshop.
