Assassin Vines (sketch)

I had been looking through the sketchbook to see what I could do larger pictures of when I came across an older image of the D&D group I had run fighting an Assassin-vine and its 'smaller plant' a...

Just Wading By - 300dpi

Moar pixels, Moar power.

Just Wading By - (Final, nsfw, mild nudity)

Doing direct light/sunlight images tends to be harder for me.  I like low light/winter/autumn images since the contrasts aren't quite as sharp as you get in bright summer light.

That said, this...

Just Wading By - (colour roughs, nsfw)

I always like posting the 'inkwash' version of images.  While they can look a bit rough, I tend to like the 'illustrative' look before I go in and start painting, so I figured I'd post this versi...

Just Wading By (300dpi)

The bigger more pixels version.

Just Wading By - (linework, nsfw)

I realized that I'd neglected to share the cleaned up linework of the 'Wading by' picture.  Its much further along than it is here, with the flat colours done and the lighting being figured out, ...

The Old Way - Sketchwork

I was listening to 'History Amplified' style music over the weekend and sketching.  Normally its too spastic and scribbly to share but this one stood out a bit since it deals with fleshing out th...

Blackpine Library - Colours

Managed to just do a quick-wash colour on this one before the afternoon turned to broiling temps again.  It was nice working on something with snow and cold.

Though I guess I wouldn't want the ...

Writing under a boiling sun

It's been roasting here for the last week or so, getting up to the 28 to 30C (82 to 86F) range every day, which means my down time has been leaning more towards the writing side of creativity lately.<...

Ruined Places

A week ago I got around to doing more 'zen' work on maps.  I think this was supposed to be a ruined library or reliquary or something with a courtyard and inn/pub attached to it for a game long g...

Short Note

Just a heads up that I'll actually be sending out the next notification for the Patron sketch on Monday.  Had some stuff come up that's going to pretty much occupy most of my entire weekend it lo...

The Whistling Keg (300dpi)

This one has more dots.  So many more dots it'll make you dizzy.

-T.J.

The Whistling Keg (linework)

Managed to clear more of the art ideas in my head out, this time a follow up to the last image, following the three farmer types into the Whistling Keg and settling in to wait out the storm and probab...

Weather's Coming - Rough sketch

This turned out oddly.. Hildebrandtian.  Its one of a bunch of sketches I'm frantically getting down in digital format before they disappear out of my head again.  I apologize in advance for...

Blackpine - map sketch.

Bit stressed out this week.  I had this (and a few other) map sitting around from a game that fell through and started finishing the sketch of it.  

Blackpine was an abandoned town surroun...

Moment of Peace (Patron Sketch!)

I was given very kind permission from Rudy Fox to post a sketch I did for him for this month's patron sketch.  

I was asked to draw his namesake, a cross-fox relaxing near a waterfall as the wa...

Just Wading By (nudity)

It is absolutely roasting here this week, wandering up to about 30C, so I started sketching outside the studio today on the smaller tablet (If only I could sit in a wading pool with it).

I had the i...

Auld Andormira wax knight vessel

A warm-up sketch/ink thing of a 'vessel' that holds a shard of an Auld Andormirian wax knight from a couple hundred years back.  The armor on most has rusted away completely, though I'd imagine t...

Walk (300dpi)

More pixel, same swish.

Walk (mild nudity)

A throw-together sketch of Cinders on a wander down to some unknown beach.  Spotties and swishes.

<...

Tanarrah (Painted, 300dpi)

More wobbly pixels.

Tanarrah (Painted)

I'm not sure why, but I felt like I wanted to give this character a painted treatment so I can use it as a sort of 'example' of the Tuktuarri people for the write-up of the world.

I tried some diffe...

Tanarah 300dpi

High res image of 'bou.

Tanarah (Tundra) concept

Image of a Tuktuarri character, Tanarah.  I'm not sure its the final concept of her (she's missing some tribal dyes) but its a general idea of her.

She's a witch who follows the voice of Great ...

Instead of.. (sketch, nudity)

I'm not entirely sure if I'm going to be finishing this picture for a few reasons, though I found myself liking the sentiment behind the image enough to want to at least share its rough edges.

I fou...

Sketchening for April

Its been one of those months.. tax month, which can only make things more ridiculously busy than they normally are.  But I finally got the patron sketch done, this time around for Grynn, a Flind,...

Song and a Swish - 300dpi

Like the former, but with more squares pushed onto the page.

Song and a Swish - Final (mild nudity)

"O, Aye said the sailor

An' Aye said the vicar

An' Aye said the neigh girl

Who was swishin' her long tail

Swish-swish!"

First colour pass on Swish-ness

First 'ink wash' (a term I've used since I saw it in a Dragonlance art book) of colour done for this month's painting.

Its mostly me trying to figure out lighting in most scenes, and getting enough ...

April Already!?

I'm not sure why I'm surprised.  April naturally comes after March.  Though perhaps because March was just as snow-filled and overcast as February I just didn't notice it as a month.

That ...
