Astrid is a fun and spunky gal! I am pretty sure I have had days when I had hair like this! 🙂

New Manga Style Character “Midnight”

Posted on February 27, 2013 by janellmithani

Midnight

Occasionally a name for a character will just come to me as I am working on a piece. This was one of those times. I thought Midnight was the perfect name for my new character. She reminds me of the night and celebrates the color blue. Many times the name of a character or title of a piece of art is a challenging process for me. Sometimes I have two names I really like and can’t decide between the two. I do favor one word titles. My husband titles some of my pieces and always just nails it… like he read my mind when I didn’t know what I was thinking. HA!

What is your creative process for naming or titling your art?

Cleo is My Latest New Manga Character

Posted on February 22, 2013 by janellmithani

She is a nod to Cleopatra… Once I was about half way through creating her, I knew this would be her name.

Cleo by Janell Mithani

Her hair took a few hours to create. I have always wanted jet black hair. As a natural redhead, I guess I am attracted to the opposite of what I have. 🙂

Have a wonderful creative day, Janell

A Valentine Manga

Posted on February 16, 2013 by janellmithani

I added some hearts to my Manga character JaZZie to make some Valentine’s cards. She is one of my most favorite characters. Probably because I created her for my daughter’s 18th birthday. 🙂

JaZZie loves Valentine’s Day!

JaZZie loves Hearts!

Have a wonderful creative day, Janell

A New Manga Character… Jazzie Butterfly

Posted on December 1, 2012 by janellmithani

This is my latest Manga character that I created.

I was inspired to create her for my daughter’s 18th birthday and her name is Jazzie Butterfly. She was really fun to create. I did a sketch in pencil and then finished and inked her in Photoshop.
