This drawing was done as part of an Internet competition under the subject “the four elements”. Honestly, I think I was just looking for an excuse to paint colorful horses.

Divine blacksmith
This piece is one of three, “blacksmith-builder-tailor”. They are all acrylic on wood, and were done as an exercise in “Minshar”. The point was to portray some “guild professionals” from a list. I had a total creative block, but the urge to make a god out of the blacksmith helped me break through. I’m very happy with this piece, especially since it includes manly men, that are so rare in my repertoire. Truth be told, I liked it so much, that these three are hanging in my house, in a very prominent location.

Dream horse
The original sketch was of the horse by himself, if I remember correctly. My husband suggested that I “put some story into it”, and this is the result. I like it very much, mistakes and all.
Comics – A legendary collection – Dragon T-shirt
After making the “not for men only” shirt design , someone brought up the idea of this shirt, under the title: “Comics – a legendary collection”. It was a great pleasure working on it, specially making the covers of the books (each represents a real title and some of my favorite ones are there). There’s even a hidden message within the covers, for Marc Evanier and Sergio Aragones’ fans.
Angela – out of the flux
This drawing was made as a sketch on a checkered paper, and the logical thing would have been to copy it onto a clean piece of paper while fixing the many errors it has (and minding all the small detail as well). However, why be logical? I decided I wanted to control the picture process tools of Photoshop better, and decided to learn how to do so while cleaning the picture with the software. It took months! Every time I worked a bit on it, got tired, and left it. Re-drawing the piece might have been much quicker, but this way my picture processing abilities have improved drastically. It’s a fan art of Angela, a character out of the pages of Scott Mcfarlane’s Spawn, I got to know through Aria – the comic book that started it all…
Comics For Girls – rough
This is the final graphic design of OKAY’s (Israeli comics readers and collectors) first T-shirt (other designs exist on the site). I had to rough it out due to print limitations, and it was a very painful work for me.
Dawn
This is a Linsner fan art piece I did in a managerial course. Trying to explain who Dawn was to my course mates was hilarious. I like this drawing because I felt a bit of awe coming to draw it, like: “How dare you draw the goddess?” and it was funny, and nice.
Comics For Girls – detail
This was a design for a vague idea of a “Comics – not for men only” T-shirt, for Comikaza comics shop. The project didn’t come to be, and I wanted to use it for the OKAY (Israeli comics readers and collectors. In Hebrew these are the initials) T shirt. Unfortunately, I found out I need to thicken the lines dramatically, and the final graphic outcome was something I liked much less.
Oracles Bugs
This is an old sketch, done with a simple ball pen. At that time I was a programmer in my first project, we were migrating from the old version of the development tool to a newer version, and I felt like I’m spending most of my time fighting Oracle’s bugs. So I drew this. The DB team liked it a lot.
Deviless
This piece was made during my first DBA course, as I felt that even an interesting professional course would be a waste if I don’t draw anything. Can’t say she’s amazing, but that’s really the lecturer’s fault; couldn’t he be a little more boring?
Angela
There was a time when I drew Angela whenever I felt angry, impatient or put down. It’s been a while since, and this is not a very typical sketch from that time, but that’s a nice story. When I was upset, my Angelas would be furious, and usually crouching in a very threatening position, unlike this calm model here. Still, I like her.
Soulfire fanart
Software’s development status discussion. These can sometimes be a great ground to grow sketches on, since you have to be in the entire discussion and participate actively in a small part. I made this with a ball pen. The late Michael Turner’s Soulfire title was a great hope for me, because I like fairy tails and there aren’t to many of them to come by. The publication delays drove me crazy though.
Mermaid
An old sketch I just like. I don’t remember when I made it, but it’s nice in my opinion. Mermaids are one of the things I get to sketch if I don’t pay attention to what I’m doing. I even made several versions of illustrating “The little mermaid” for the world’s greatest publisher – the drawer.
Sitting Centaur
Another typical female centaur sketch that I love oh-so-much. It’s sort of a sketch that says : “ahh… Life is good”.
Ingra
I made this during a discussion the day after I started reading Crossgen’s “The First” comics title. I didn’t remember Ingra’s image exactly, but this sketch captures the idea of her, more or less.
Centaur Tribal
This is one of my favorites. I think it has a lot of flow in it. Besides, it’s my two favorite drawing subjects combined, so what could go wrong?
Unicorn
When I got released from the army, I made printed glasses to the closest people I was stationed with, as a gift. I wanted to give one of my commanders something horse related, it was sort of an old time joke for us. The thing is the only horses’ drawings I had that would turn out nicely were kept for other folks’ glasses, and I wanted him to have something special. I made this unicorn in about an hour including paint, and I think he liked it.
Flower Sprite
When I got released from the army, I made printed glasses to the closest people I was stationed with, as a gift. There were two friends of mine that nothing I had in the portfolio felt like it would fit them. So I did this tribal thinking about them.
