Dungeons and Dormice: The Sorcerer

Dormouse Sorcerers, like every other Sorcerer, trace their lineage back to semi-mythical sources that account for their native magical powers. Among the Big Folk, dragon, demon and tiefling ancestr...

Dungeons & Dormice: The Wizard

Dormice Wizards are rare, because most dormice lack the willingness to devote many years of study to the mastery of skills that have, in their opinion, little relevance for the important things in ...

Dungeons & Dormice: The Bard.

Dormouse Bards are generally seen as the happiest little creatures alive (and that is not just down to their consumption of raspberry wine). Always eager to entertain and educate, they tirelessly h...

Dungeons & Dormice: The Monk.

Dormice Monks aspire to the highest level of inner peace, balance, and self-control. Their bodies are the only weapons they need (or so they say). Their final test, in which they give proof of thei...

Dungeons & Dormice: The Fighter.

Dormouse Fighters are very liberal spirits. These seasoned, battle-hardened little creatures are most happy roaming the land with a week's worth of provisions, sleeping under the eaves and bringing...

Dungeons & Dormice: The Barbarian.

Only the most fearless of dormice aspire to join the ranks of Barbarians. The origins of this class of warriors are lost in legend, as is the origin of their traditional weapon, the chiesnif View Post

Dungeons & Dormice: The Cleric

"Beware the masked swamp owl!" Dormouse parents tell their children. "If she catches you, she eats you whole and spits out your bare white bones, which will forever haunt the marshlands!"

Dungeons and Dormice: The Ranger

With her trusted companion, the Ranger roams far and wide through the wild, dangerous undergrowth of the field balk. Her green and brown garb makes the ranger almost invisible to the perilous deniz...

Dungeons & Dormice: The Rogue

Dormouse Rogues are rare, because stealing something is so alien to the dormice nature (though they are suberbly suited to the profession due to their uncanny stealth). If there is anything that mi...

Dungeons & Dormice: Paladin

Their heroic and undaunted nature makes dormice naturally suited to the Paladin's calling, playing to their natural instincts to protect the weak and helpless, even if finding someone who is actual...

Sir Dormouse

I, uh, have no idea what happened. I assume it was the unholy amagam of thinking of El-ahrairah (Watership Down), thinking of doing some rabbit art at some point, and then coming across Brit's wool...

Maedhros and horse, coloured

So, I slapped some colour on today! I really like the combination here.

This one's actually available for sale, so drop me a note if you're interested! I will probably have to hold it for a w...

Two half-good pics make one good one.

I decided to redo yesterday's piece today - and ended up with a nice Maedhros but botching the horse. So I cheated and combined the two in Photoshop. XD Will colour it tomorrow!

Valar stickers! ^__^

The stickers are here (and I wonder whether some of my real-life friends will now finally stop calling my pins "stickers", or whether they'll just be thoroughly confused.) 

I've already ...

Waiting room sketch

Inked this in the waiting room today while my son was having four wisdom teeth removed. I'm not very happy with it, but hey, my son's fine. ;) Mostly. 

I'll probably end up redoing this ...

Ink and watercolour: Théoden

Tried out ink again today - I'd bought hot-pressed (smooth) watercolour sketchbooks a month ago to use more ink, and since this "Corona" sketchbook is over half full now, I figured it would be a go...

Motivational slump with the Lighthouse Family

Have had "High" by Lighthouse Family stuck in my head for days; fittingly, a local radio station had a Nineties day yesterday. 

When you're close to tears, remember

There's an artist challenge going round where you paint the view from your window. I cheated. This is from the living-room window, not from my study window. Our neighbour's spectacular forsythia de...

Mandos, and stickers

Mandos judges you for touching your face. 

Also, I definitely don't want a Silmarillion movie, but if they make one, Benedict Cumberbatch needs to play Mandos.

All the Valar pins!

This doesn't look like a lot of work, but I finished Manwe today, and then fixed them all up for ordering! That means looking up every colour in my colour swatch book and writing them down, which e...

Can't stop designing pins!

I was planning to do just two today, but then did three... just Manwë remaining. I haven't sent them to the pin company yet; maybe they'll say there's too much detail... but we'll see. I'm still d...

Oromë (I may convert)

Here's a bit you probably didn't know about me as an artist: I don't see faces when I read. I have some form of prosopagnosia (the inability to recognise - and imagine - faces), and when I read, I ...

Aulë - and pin news!

Here's Aulë, the last of the six Valar I'll soon turn into pins! And talking of pins - the dragons and flowers, which were supposed to arrive in mid-April (in time for MagicCon that won't happen)....
