More Oxonmoot

I got 11 pieces done at Oxonmoot, and one is left - Fingolfin! If anyone would like him, shoot me a message. ❤️ (EDIT: gone!)

I'm still rather jet lagged (if that’s possible by train) a...

Some Oxford impressions from my first Oxonmoot!

I'm having a wonderful time here! I did a workshop on watercolour on the iPad yesterday, and I hope the workshops will be uploaded to YouTube at sone point 💚

The live sketches I did were a...

"I'm scared, Will"

"This is so much bigger than you and me."

Liam making me cry once again with his role-playing. 

Drawing this, I was reminded of a hilarious Cicero quote. Seeing his very short son-...

Round robin

... and a very poofy one at that.

I wanted to challenge myself to do a more painterly piece with my new brushes, to see if they work without lineart as well - and they do! 

I wante...

It's here! 😱

It's finished, you guys!! I am SO FRIGGIN' PROUD of this thing. It's available 2023-08-25 12:30:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Saviour Blade of the Tempest

"You are hope. You are Orym. You are Orym, Saviour Blade of the Tempest." 

I do hope this sweet little man has had his well-earned factory reset at home and can go on being a hero now......

I literally cannot get over how wonderful these brushes are.

I have said this a few times now, but: I keep being floored by how cool these are. And the best thing is that I can now just fix anything I don't like about a brush I'm using, instead of saying "me...

Fingon enjoying… a blank page right now =)

I found a great reference pic for this, and look at him! I also perfected my pencil brushes in the process, hee. That thin black pencil brush is perfect now. It's so cool to just make and tweak wha...

I freaking love these brushes!

Almost two weeks with little sleep, reading and watching tutorials on brush-making, fiddling and and frequently dreaming of brushes, haha. But it paid off! Look at what these babies can do! 😍&nb...

Quickie: Orym’s new clothes

I'm happy to report that most of my brushes do more or less what I want of them, but I need to take that blending brush for a quick conversation behind the garden shed. Not working at all. I will d...

Brushes sneak peak, and Orym waiting for clothes

So I managed to spend a whole week creating brushes. I'm at 37 now (the set's been completely reworked several times) and I haven’t even playtested them yet! But I've done so many that I've been ...

In development: My first watercolour brush set for Procreate! 🤯

Okay, so I've wanted to do this for years - make my own watercolour brushes. All the options are so daunting! But now I’ve worked my way through a few tutorials and the handbook and it's...

Time for heroics, coloured

(I thought I had a timestamp for you, but I can't find the scene - it's even possible I imagined it i this combination, and mashed together several things in one image. But Orym jumped from two tal...

Time for heroics (and Oxonmoot!)

Just 24 hours after his mum told him not to be a hero... but when he sees Imogen down on the ground, being mauled by a 13-foot-tall fiend, of course Orym jumps down from a tower. 

Origin...

Sketchalong C3_E67! (Spoilers)

Such a great episode! Fearne and Chetney trying to distract a bunch of devils by feigning a werewolf attack, Orym giving a flowery thumbs-up, him and Laudna pulling Imogen out of harm’s way, and ...

Etsy shop coupon code

Hey my dear squirrels, just as a reminder and for the new arrivals: Your discount code for my Etsy shop is 10FORSQUIRRELS! I don't change it often so feel free to write it down for...

Flower power dream team finished

I was going to tone down the colours a bit here, too, but Fearne told me NO. I love this one to bits. 

Dream Team lineart!

I love these two so much! So much fun, in and out of battle. :D 

I spent hours micro-changing Orym's face until every bit of it looked horrible, erased it completely, and redrew it witho...

New in the works: Dream Team

I'm leaving the Caleb-in-the-library piece for next week for all the start of term conferences… So here’s a sketch of Fearne and Orym in battle. They’re such fun, with his clever manoevres an...

When mom forgot to close the front door again (new)

Adventures of a Quarterling: Baby Orym goes exploring. Gosh, this episode had it all. We got a description of Orym's nappies. There was no way I wasn’t going to draw him in it.

Updated with...

He'd be very proud of you - finished

I remembered in a conversation on Twitter that I wanted to try a more held back colouring style to let this pretty lineart shine, and I'm really happy with the result!
I also kept the triplets'...

"He'd be very proud"

Orym with his sisters. F.C.G. was very, very confused. 😁

So this piece won the inofficial "draw me first!" contest. The one with Keyleth in bed wasn't well balanced, I'll put it on hold fo...

I have too many wips than is good for me

An episode like the last one PLUS a mini holiday is a bad idea - so many scenes, so little time, so much sketching on the train!

Above: "Allow me to be your blade."
Modelled again by my l...

Mini Sketchalong: Orym comes home

I got up at 4 AM today to catch my first ever Critical Role episode as it aired! I managed two sketches but had to go to bed again when the break came up. Getting older sucks. XD

Study time - lineart!

This is going to be one of the most involved pieces I've done on my life, and I love it so much!

Patreon now offers a shop front for digital products, and I decided to give this a try. I've p...

Study time (new sketch, constructed this time)

There were too many problems with the first sketch, from wonky perspective to the fact that it was based on AI. (Sad fact: even free-use databanks like Pixabay are now inundated with AI art, too. I...

Sketch: study time (I must be mad)

A piece I've been wanting to do for ages: Caleb in his library, reading, with Frumpkin for company. Caleb is the one of Liam's characters from Critical Role that I relate least to (just too much em...

Reminder: Community link!

Hey guys, not sure you knew, but Patreon has a "Community" tab that allows you to upload images (like the colouring pages) or anything else you'd like to share with the community here! Take a peek ...

Midsummer Will (finished)

I'm not 100% sold on the colours (as I feared, I went too over the place with them). It was okay before I did the poppies. Which is even more tragic as they barely look like poppies. But I still li...

All the colours in skin

A lot of of new faces here! Welcome to Philip, E., friep and Holly! =D

I'm utterly in love with how this one is coming alon...
