The random fandom blog of Mel B! I'm an illustrator and concepts artist. Check out my illustration-only blog at Javadoodle.tumblr.com. Fair warning: The Shimmy Spot is in no way whatsoever a specifically "themed" blog: Never has been, nor will it ever be. I post whatever interests me at the moment, and those interests/fandoms/aesthetics/etc fluctuate routinely. (Fandoms include anything from Sons of Anarchy to Star Trek to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, to XFiles, Doctor Who, Led Zeppelin, Studio Ghibli films & More) Just a heads up. Also! Asks are welcome. I'll get to any and all as soon as I am able. Cheers ♥

Over here shook because @renbyten reminded me just how long it’s been since I last did a “Meet the Artist” image. (Hooow has it been 7 years already?) Here’s a spankin’ new one for 2024.
Whew! Had a couple of hours waiting on assets at work today to finally complete this super fun commission for @astephosaurus! Thanks again for your patience while work and life got crazy, Steph! And for anyone interested I’ll likely be re-opening for commissions again in late April. 🎨☕️🔥
An end-of-the-year Art vs Artist for 2023. After the creative Sahara of burnout that was 2020-2022 it’s been wonderful to start and feel that ol’ creative spark return this year. Onward and upward!
I haven’t kept a color sketchbook in nearly 20 years, because the last time I did I accidentally left the thing on the roof of my car, and it wound up in the middle of a busy intersection, which was… a tad traumatizing. But, lately, I’ve had a genuine drive to get back into traditional mediums, as a nice way to separate art exploration for fun from the purely digital stuff I do for work. So, although I’m super rusty, here’s to colorful adventures in a new sketchbook, starting with The Light Dragon from Tears of the Kingdom. 🎨
We lost my uncle to cancer not too long ago. He was a great guy, and is missed dearly. My cousin requested a portrait, and he was a joy to draw. We miss you so much, Bill. 🎨💜

Line work complete of this WIP of The Iron Bull and my Inquisitor Trevelyan from Dragon Age: Inquisition, and I am loving it so far. So much fun! Another process video for line work incoming tomorrow, and it’s on to colors 🎨🐝
