ImagineFx_-_December_2019

Having separate creative spaces has
been fantastic, and it’s enabled me to
be more productive than I would have
been otherwise. While I know there’s
an old trope about artists relishing
chaos, I can definitely tell you that for
me, taking a more intentional,
organised approach has made all the
difference in the world.
By day, Kymba is a media artist on Blizzard
Entertainment’s Cinematics team. By night,
she creates a range of multimedia art and
sculpture, and is working on the first
novel in her own book series, entitled The
Wolf and the Clockwork Hummingbird.
You can see more of her art and writing
at http://www.kimberlylecrone.com.


Above is a work-in-progress sculpture of one of my story characters, the werewolf
enchantress, Sashah. I’ve since begun painting her (left) and when she’s eventually
finished the character will be stepping over a river while casting a magic spell that
looks like a dragon! I can’t wait for readers to learn more about her and her world.

Back in 2011 my dear friend Cindy Reep created a high-resolution faux
stained glass digital painting featuring two of my story’s characters. In the
months thereafter, I made a physical faux stained glass piece out of it,
featuring wiring, woodworking, acrylic, glass and more. It’s a massive
49x25x5.25-inches, and is incredibly inspiring and comforting to me.

This unique table has four cubbies below the table, and four above. I’ve stored
an array of reference books in the cubbies along the floor, and added some extra
ones towards the ceiling that serve as drying racks. The middle sections house
trays containing tools of the trade, and some reference models and trinkets.
