Gosh, sorry for the long silence!
I didn't even realise December is almost over. The dead giveaway is not even Christmas looming ever closer, but the fact we'll see Star Wars tonight. =P
The last two weeks were just too full...

Quick heads-up
Just letting you know, if shipping and replies go more sluggishly than you're ued to, it's because, on top on festive end-of-term stress, my son has broken his arm, which somehow cuts into my time ...
2019-12-04 11:31:03 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate on calendars and Friend in Need
Hey guys! All non-EU calendars have now shipped. EU and Germany goes fastest, as I can print the post labels in bulk, instead of doing a different one for each (a major nightmare). I'm going to tak...
2019-12-01 09:57:57 +0000 UTC View PostA friend in need!
I think I'll just chuck all my two hundred and fifty-three other paint tubes in the bin and go with just Ultramarine, Ochre and Umber from now on.
Oh, and Burnt Sienna.
=)
More progress on Fingon (and calendars)
Woo-hoo! On my day off school, I managed to fix all calendars to Canada and Australia, as well as finishing my Etsy backlog!
The background on this is finished. It's pretty silly that I have ...

So, some of you may have found out on social media that yesterday was "Thank your Patrons Day". I've always disliked bandwagons like this, so I didn't make anything of it, but felt that you'd be mu...

Looking forward to bringing out the greys again!

I'm happy to let you know that all calendars to the US will go out by Monday! That means that 150 calendars will have shipped. About a hundred are left. Next up are the other non-EU countries, and ...

Here's the first sketch for the Friend in Need reward! <3
I used a Roman reenactment photo as ref, and had to blow up the horse by about a factor of two, haha. The reenactor was ridi...

The Inktober print sets can now be found in my Etsy shop! Moo again outdid themselves with the print quality. <3 My daughter and I folded boxes all morning yesterday, and put the Brocade sticker...

After indulging in four new paint tubes last week, I asked for ideas what to paint with it - and the results were tooooootally unexpected. XD
So here's our favourite redhead, featuring Pompei...

Hey all! As those in the 5+ tiers already know, I've had to change my Patreon approach. I was able to offer goodie tiers while I had something like 100 Patrons; now that there's 300 of you, packing...

For the first time in three weeks, my backlog of Etsy orders is now below twenty. O_o
I'm also making good progress sending calendars with the other things. By next week, Patreon will h...

Maedhros! Which is usually the crowning glory of Inktobers, and that is for a reason - I'll probably take an Inktober break now, though I'll possibly come back to the style again later. I need to t...

Another brocade piece for Lúthien!
Lúthien and Fingon will go up in my Etsy shop tonight at around 6 pm CET, unless someone claims them first. Thranduil already has been. :)

Well, let's see if I can keep up with the last third of Inktober! I have to say I'm pretty happy with 15 out of 21 - definitely better than last year. Plus one commission and dozens and dozens of o...

So Lee Pace will be a guest at next year's Magic Con in Bonn! While I don't care for the films, having Tolkien-themed guests will certainly mean good business for me, as opposed to this year, when ...

I'm utterly in love with these colours. It's always a surprise to see the first finished painting after a few months without. The style is usually changed a little, and the colours turn out differe...

This commission came about by accident, by the way - I was approached (on a Fantasy convention) for a horse portrait. I said I didn't do those, but I could do a Tolkien-themed piece with the horse ...

I felt extremely uncomfortable with Finarfin looking gloomy while holding a FIFA world cup/joint, so here's a new one of him. As opposed to Fingolfin, he didn't demand it. He just looked at me sadl...
