December suggestion: Nerdanel

Or, as Paul put it, Fëanor's wife, Not Putting Up With His Drama. 😂

I've been sick since Christmas Day but hey, it's still this month!… year!  More experiments which quick-ish colo...

Orym/Dorian kiss (that I'm already regretting)

... spoilers ahead for episode 81. 

So I started a little follow-up sketch to the fire scene last night... had begun cleaning it up while watching yesterday's/today's episode... and prob...

Unspoken - coloured

The holidays are here!! It's pretty unusual for us to go on holiday a full three days before Christmas Eve, but it's still much-needed. Usually, we have school until the 22nd and I remember one yea...

Unspoken

Here's to everyone who's ever spent weeks and months and years next to their crush and not got out a word, deciding it’s easier to pine silently than to tell them and yet that look of "You? … w...

Repurposing Jamie Bell

Hubby and I were watching "The Eagle of the Ninth" with Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell last weekend, and it hit me how much Jamie Bell looked like Orym in that movie. I asked Hubby to hit the record...

The thing I threatened…

… and an "Art vs Artist" for 2023. A lot of digital stuff, obviously. I've been wanting to get back into at least colored pencil but just wasn’t up to it. Every time I was ready to try, there's...

I see you every night

This took a while. But our heating is up and running again and I have my head halfway free for art!

And as of last episode, I feel very much vindicated that Orym is indeed in love with Dorian...

Comfort zone sketch: Will and Orym snuggles

I haven't had a good last few weeks, so here's some Will and Orym snuggles. (Before I upload them on social media in any capacity, I'll absolutely put a blinking red arrow pointing at Orym saying, ...

Spelljammer character: Ace Jr.

I've been iin love with the Spelljammer setting for over twenty years (since I first learned of it). It's D&D meets Treasure Planet.  Does anyone here remember my art from ~2002 of two Dar...

Child in the dark - finished

Had some fun with digital gold leaf on this one!

The session last Sunday left Jax extremely shaken - they were fighting an assassin demon sent by the last demon lord they p*ssed off really ba...

Jax - sketch

"Child in the dark. To whom will you call out? To Mother, or to Father?"

"To both. And I know that both will listen. I am both their child. I am the light that hides in shadow. I am both the ...

Screenshot redraw: *angry screaming*

One of the fun pastimes in Critical Role fandom: redrawing screenshots of the players as their characters. Last episode had me check my blood pressure real quick (it was fine, strangely enough), bu...

Maedhros is finished! And he has my brushpack in tow!

Woo-hoo! This always takes SO LONG, to fix up the brush description, and the video, and do a demo, and upload everything so they interconnect... 

So YEAH! Maedhros presents my squeaky ne...

In progress: Maedhros for my new brushes demo

Since Fingon got the demo for the last brush set, Maedhros was very clear he'd have this one. I found a really cool piece of model photography to use as a rough base. It it possible for Maedhros to...

October suggestion: Boromir and Faramir's story time

Here's the suggestion I didn’t get to with all the Patreontober: Finduilas reading to her sons, suggested by Elizabeth. Trying for a quick watercoloury sketch (with the new brush set I STILL have...

Voice of the Tempest

I'm in love. Seriously. <3 

This is definitely a direct outcome of Inktober, too. Drawing every day and completing that challenge is exhausting and liberating at the same time. It hel...

Voice of the Tempest - high-resolution lineart

Here's the high-res version of the lineart to colour! I'm already on it too. =) 

As I mentioned earlier, by the way, there will not be an art suggestion post this month - I did last mont...

Voice of the Tempest (Art Nouveau)

As brilliant as Inktober/Patreontober was, it's always good to leave that deadline-heavy time behind. My health is a mess, sadly, and November is one of the worst times at school, so some comfort z...

Patreontober #31 - "purrmpkin"

Happy Hallowe'en, everybody, with Jess' fun prompt of "purrmpkin"! I can't believe I did it. 😅 And with new blind spots, too. Weirdly, drawing and painting (digitally) is still the easiest thing...

Patreontober #30 - "space"

Now here's a throwback! For Heather's prompt "space", I went to my years of Star Wars Role-playing, when I played Samica Trey, an Imperial TIE fighter turned Y-wing pilot, who took part in the Batt...

Patreontober #29: "Brave"

Sam Gamgee for Lisa's prompt of "Brave"! 

I need some bravery today too; it's my eldest's birthday, and the in-laws are coming this afternoon. >_< 

Last page coming alon...

Patreontober #28 - "Awe"

Kate's prompt of "awe" was the one prompt that had me stumped for the longest time (so it was good I had nearly four weeks to think about it!) In the end, this was my first association, and I was c...

Patreontober #27: "Fall"

This was my very first association for Tanya's prompt of "Fall", and since I don't draw nearly enough Good Omens, Crowley it was! I still love the first season (and book) to bits. I wasn't really i...

Patreontober #26: "Gift"

Bonnie's prompt of "gift" made my brain go to the gift of Galadriel to Gimli, of course!
Last page started! I'm pretty pleased with myself I've kept up. 

Those of you waiting for the...

Patreontober #25 - "Tattoo"

No surprises for this one! =)

Very happy with this beautiful boy for Kris' prompt of "tattoo". I had great reference: I asked *my* beautiful boy (now nineteen) to pose, and while he normally ...

Patreontober #24 - "Homecoming"

I really like this little sketch for Christian's prompt of "Homecoming". It's obviously neither the ending of the Lord of the Rings nor the Hobbit (not enough furniture being carried out/much too i...

Patreontober #23 - "Seedling"

Michelle gave us "seedling", and we both knew where my mind would go with THAT. Seedling, the Wayward Pilgrim, Orym's sword that he held on to even though it was basic and un-magical because it was...

Bonus cartoon: Raven Queen and Wildmother

Two goddesses that have an eye on Orym: The Wildmother, who's been invested in him for some time, and the Raven Queen, who just lost a champion with a far better fashion sense (Vax famously wore bl...

Patreontober #22 - "Tevildo" (cats and ravens and ink, oh my)

Tevildo is one of those weird atavisms in the legendarium. Like Tinfang Warble. I've never tried to draw him, as I'm a cat person, and it was always a hard sell for me how a precursor of Sauron cou...

Patreontober #21 - "Hope"

I often try to pick the first idea where my mind goes, and for Limitless_Paper's prompt of "Hope", it was a close call between two unusual things - Leia in "A New Hope" and the smith Kate from "A K...
