Caleb and Molly (Critical Role commission)

In before Christmas! A commission of Caleb and Molly. Frumpkin was modelled by my Loki (pose) a well as the commissioner's own Frumpkin (coat and colour). 

I'm also done with all my mark...

New pins and stickers are in my shop! =D

I'm so happy with these! Don't forget your coupon code (10OFFPAT). It goes for all pins and stickers. <3 

Also, a lot of old favourite pins are available again: Glorfindel is back wit...

So, getting retrospective about 2022, I guess.

It's the time of year when art vs artist memes are getting around again. 

2022 will forever be a crazy ride when I look back to it. The discovery of Critical Role. Getting headfirst into...

Little things

I haven't been able to do much art over the last two weeks - there's one Critical Role commission I'm currently working on, the gold leaf image is on the backburner (I definitely hope to get to all...

Morning, Dad

Orym's morning routine: doing his sword/dance moves on a skyship high above the clouds (with a rope tied to his ankle, just in case). Apparently, he identifies the sun with his deceased father in l...

*Sigh of relief*

My flower kids, Orym and Fearne. If you're three foot tall and the world is mean to you, hitch a ride on your 7 foot friend's handlebars. Sorry, horns.

Video post - more Procreate watercolour. Thranduil volunteered.

I asked around with my various muses who was up for a texture-heavy watercolour piece with Procreate, maybe with autumn leaves and flowing hair. Orym was fine with autumn leaves but flowing hair wa...

A dream so real... and three new Dungeons&Dormice designs!

Dusk: "Do you ever have a dream so real you wake up and you're not sure you're still dreaming?"
Orym (softly and immediately): "Yeah." 

Or: Big Spoon, Little Spoon. Some halflings do ...

More Procreate watercolour practice: Imogen

Imogen is one of the last characters from Critical Role campaign 3 who hasn’t got a proper portrait for herself! She always features heavily in the sketchalongs, so I obviously felt she was fine....

Two (three) very cool things

Number 1: After yesterday’s sketch of quokka!Fearne with watercolour brushes, I decided to give Procreate watercolours another go. I'd never been happy with how they handled and how long it took,...

Comfort zone art: Quokka!Fearne, digital watercolours, and Will/Orym shnuggles

So, my eyes are not better and cortisone's a beast. :(

BUT since I don't have much else to do and am determined to create some warm and fuzzy times (and since I'm just re-listening to the re...

"I know you're not okay"

It's been a bad week. Last Wednesday, I surprised a burglar in the hall at 4 am. Luckily, he'd stumbled over my son's backpack noisily enough to wake me, so he fled at once without taking anything....

Sketchalong episode 40

Weretigers, wolves, bugbear cooks, and Imodna pyjama parties, oh my!

Ashton Greymoore

I took a long time to really warm to Ashton, longer than any other of the Third Campaign crew. I think I'm just not very fond of barbarians. But there's been so much interesting stuff going on with...

Mithlond... and new pins!

I can't believe how long this took. The last landscapes were okay but unrefined, so I thought, I'll just refine it a bit, right? So I refined... and refined... and refined... and at some point I ju...

Sketchalong for Episode 39 (spoilers)

Another episode, another sketchalong! It was a lot of conversations and shopping trips in the beginning, so I sketched a lot of NPCs... and then of course, towards the end, things just started to g...

I feel like a Twitter celebrity now. =O

Imagine drawing Tolkien stuff all your life, characters of an author who died three years before you were born, and still you agonise over each piece: Is this what the author intended? Would he lik...

Pony trecking in Cornwall with Elladan and Elrohir

This is taking ages, but I really love how it’s coming along (slow as it is!) I decided to have Elladan and Elrohir in there, because I've hardly ever drawn them and it’s just more imp...

Progress on the Grey Havens, boyfriend chic, and INPRNT sale!

I'm starting to think this piece might look REALLY nice when it's done! The main change compared to the last landscapes was simple: fewer brushes. Do stuff on foot rather than chose the nifty "wave...

A friend is a fuzzy blanket

Sleeping arrangements for Bells Hells: Orym never gets a bed/inn room for himself but sleeps curled up against Fearne's fuzzy lower half.

Stealing from your own character

Landscape practice III: Rivendell

Okay, the most ambitious landscape yet. I'm leaving them rough around the edges on purpose, to force myself to think in shapes, not in lines and detail. I nearly abandoned this during the "ugly sta...

Quick colour sketch: Pâté gets an upgrade

Fun little colour sketch in between marking Latin exams! Pâté, Laudna's stuffed rat-cum-birdskull familiar, has just sprouted wings AND a cockney accent in one of the best and most ridiculous Cri...

Sketchalong for Critical Role 3 Ep 38 (spoilers) - and give me landscape suggestions!

These sketchalongs are addictive. And I think I'm getting better with them. Just one colour this time, and considerably more Orym, because screw it - he's the best. <3

More landscape practice, more Orym tragedy
