New Release Showcase - Whisper of the Sea

I'm so glad you are here with us today for another new release showcase from the AWSB design team!  A little while back, I was part of a special fundraiser as an image contributor.  The image, "Starfish Mermaid", was what I contributed to this event, and the digi was available to all those who donated to the cause.

"Starfish Mermaid" from the fundraiser in 2015

The event was very successful and lots of people received a choice of digis from participating artists.  But since it was an event-specific image, a "limited release", she was not going to be made available anywhere afterwards.   Many of you have seen beautiful makes with the "Starfish Mermaid" and asked me where you could find her...  Fast-forward many months and here we are finally!  We have a new release of the same character, a big eyed, doll faced mermaid with a gorgeous hair, "Whisper of the Sea".  Enjoy the gallery!

The 'Whisper of the Sea' mermaid digi is available in JPG and in PNG at Aurora Wings Etsy store.
She comes in at 1500 x 1800 pixels (5 x 6 inches or 12.7 x 15.2 cm at 300 dpi).  So many color possibilities!!

And here are this weekend's discount codes at Aurora Wings Etsy Shop.  Remember to check out holiday images on sale in the SALE Digis section for already discounted digis, too.  And in case if you're wondering, "What happened to the AW web shop?", I want to let you know that it's under renovation at the moment.  I am working on a new shop section.  When it's time for re-opening, I will let you know.

Have you noticed we are inching ever closer to the milestone of 3,000 members at the Stamps by AuroraWings FB group?  The party we'll have when that number is reached is going to be HUGE!  So please let your friends know about our group and all the fun stuff that's going on - from monthly contest to weekly giveaways.  But please, ask them first before you add them to the group.  Our admins will approve the "add" requests automatically when someone from the group adds friends.

Here's something extra, just for this weekend.

EDIT (11:43 am MST): The mermaid is looking for a name at the Stamps by AuroraWings FB group this weekend (now through Nov. 20, 2016).  Stop by and drop off a suggestion.  You will be the winner of the upcoming full version (with tail and fins) digi of her if she picks your name suggestion.

New Release Showcase - Lady of Compassion

Welcome to our new release showcase!  Today we have two new releases of totally different subjects and styles.  Variety is the spice of life, as they say, and I like to go different places in my art and imagination.  That's why you see a wide range of images at AW - from the whimsical and adorable Sprites to beautiful ladies in flowers, all the way to the other end of the spectrum with dark fantasy images.  I know that not everything is eveyrone's cup of tea, but I, for one, love drawing them all.

First up is the digi release of the 'Lady of Compassion'.  Please note that she will be a LIMITED TIME RELEASE of 1 month.  This image was previously released in my coloring book titled, "Gardens & Goddesses".  I have kept her as the 'coloring book exclusive' for many years, but due to repeated requests, I am making this image available as a digi for a limited time only.  So I hope you take advantage of it and add her to your AW digi stash if you've had an eye on her all this time.

The 'Lady of Compassion' is a full size coloring page or a very large digi, coming in at 2400 x 3150 pixels (8 x 10.5 inches/20.3 x 26.7 cm approx.).  Available only in JPG, and for a limited time only (Aug. 19 through Sept. 18, 2016).  Once this period is past, it will become available only in the Gardens & Goddeses coloring book.

Now to the second release today.  It is 'Jellyfish Adventure'!  This was originally illustrated as an ACEO, which means the original drawing was only 2.5 x 3.5 inches (6.9 x 8.9 cm approx.).  I had to redraw digitally in order to make a digi version of this, and I have also made the file larger.  6 x 8 inches (15.2 x 20.3 cm) to be exact.  There's just too much going on to squeeze it all into the tiny digi!   I've made two versions of the Jellyfish Adventure - one with the background of smaller jellyfish (full version), and the other with the main image only (simple version).

The 'Jellyfish Adventure' Full Version is available in JPG and PNG at the AW Etsy shop.  This version comes in at 1800 x 2400 pixels, with lots of details for a full scene.

The 'Jellyfish Adventure' Simple Version (no background) is also available in JPG and PNG.  This version comes in at 1500 x 2100 pixels.

And of course, no new release showcase is complete without discount code for the weekend!  I have two codes for different levels of saving for you.  These are good at AW Etsy shop, now through Sunday, August 21, 2016 at 11:59 pm EDT US (That's 3:59 am GMT, Monday, August 22).

Happy coloring & crafting, everybody!!

New Release Showcase

Welcome to our first new release showcase of 2016!!  We hope you'll like what you see here today.  I have a winged mermaid - you might call her an angel mermaid or a mer-angel - that I titled "Guardian of the Sea".  She also comes available as a mermaid without the angel wings.  You'll see what I mean in the gallery by our talented Showcase Team designers.

The angel version is titled "Guardian of the Sea", and comes at a full-page size of 8 x 11 inches or 20.3 x 27.9 cm (2400 x 3300 pixels).  Available at the AW Etsy shop at this link in JPG and at this link in PNG.

The mermaid version is title "Lady of the Sea", and comes a little smaller at 6 x 10.5 inches or 15.2 x 26.7 cm (1800 x 3150 pixels).  Still a pretty large digi.  Available at the AW Etsy shop at this link in JPG and at this link in PNG.

Can't decide which version of her you like better?  Here's a shop code that will save you 50% on the second version when you buy both at AW Etsy!

And if a mermaid is not your thing (with or without wings), here's a 20% OFF coupon code when you spend $5 USD on digis at AW Etsy!  And be sure to check out the SALE Digis section at the shop for price reduced digis from Valentine's to Easter to my flowery fantasy images.

Happy shopping and happy coloring!  Hope you check out and join our current challenge at the AW Challenge Blog "Ice and Snow" open through Saturday, Feb. 13, and this month's contest at our FB group, "Enchanted Garden"!

New Release Double Showcase - Edamame Sprite and Little Pirate

It's been a while since we've had a DT showcase, so we're back with a bonus double feature!  Not just one new release, but two today!  So glad you can join us.

We'll start with a new member of the Sprites Collection today.  Meet Edamame Sprite!

Edamame (soy bean) is a popular Japanese food.  It's a simple whole food as we only either boil or steam and lightly salt, then serve in the pods.  People squeeze the pods to pop the beans inside to eat.  It's fun for kids and adults alike.  I'm sure some of you have seen plushies and keychains of these cuties that are sold in Japan.  Here are gorgeous samples made by our DT.  Enjoy!

And we also have Donna from the Challenge DT today.

Now we're off to the second digi release today - the Little Pirate from the Mer-Kids Collection.  He's clearly a mischievous little handful type.  But he's not as tough as he thinks as we can still see baby pudge on his tummy.

Here's the gallery of beautiful samples using the Little Pirate digi made by our talented DT!  Enjoy!!
