Sketches and random ideas

Aurumek post Sketches and random ideas from patreon

Sketched around and let the ideas flow. This is when I look at my list of ideas which is about 90 ideas long, since I write down everything immediately, no matter how bad the idea. I'll then take some of them, combine them, cut them down, just let myself flow into this state that I usually only get while listening to some fan...

The White Tower of Eldoras

Aurumek post The White Tower of Eldoras from patreon

Hi everyone! 

Here it is! The "White Tower of Eldoras" is finally finished. This piece was done surprisingly fast, I only had around 8 hours from start to finish! 🌱

The glow from the tower was something that came to me last minute - I should make more use of these kind of ethereal effects. 🤔

It is...

Lineart of the Tower of Eldoras

Aurumek post Lineart of the Tower of Eldoras from patreon

Hi everyone!

First of all, let me thank you for another month of support! It is also so kind of you that you just made this transition to the one tier with me. Really makes me be thankful of the kind of art that I do, because this kind of art attracts almost only the most kind people to it. 

Today I'm coming ...

Sketch of Eldoras

Aurumek post Sketch of Eldoras from patreon

Hi everyone! Fell deep into a Lord of the Rings lore loophole, so I felt inspired to draw something that will be white architecture in nature. 

As you can see, I decided for a tower again, with the red circles letting me remember where I'm going to put small settlements or just small singular buildings - for exampl...

Early Access and reminder

Aurumek post Early Access and reminder from patreon

Hi everyone!

This is a piece that felt so technical in nature that I almost completely forgot about the story or where it's set. To make it short, I've read up again on James Gurneys book "Colour and Light" which is just AMAZING. Short, precise lessons that entice you to think about the technical stuff more, which i...

Sky City Quarters Lineart and lighting

Aurumek post Sky City Quarters Lineart and lighting from patreon

Hi everyone! 

Thank you so much for joining the 2€ Tier! Here's a new one, and a different process along with it! It has been way too long since I started to plan the lighting first and then do the colours after this. I usually do everything else first, lighting last since I enjoy it the most. We'll see how it go...

New Sketch!

Aurumek post New Sketch! from patreon

Hi everyone! Here we go, I always wanted to do some interiors, but never went for it. This is a mix between open space and the world inside an Argentian house.

It is so hard to think of things to fill in the interior while sketching, so I just wrote down without looking at the canvas what I'd like to see in a room. It w...

Hi everyone ! Wanted to show you the timelapse of my newest piece. Sadly, patreon doesn't let me just upload the video, so I attached it as a downloadable file.

Hope you enjoy, if you got any questions feel free to ask them, either here or via DM.

Also, thanks to everyone who changed tiers already 🌿

Finished artwork - Druid Island

Aurumek post Finished artwork - Druid Island from patreon

Hi everyone! Finished a new piece where some of the druids of Argenta gather every new moon. This island not as secluded as one thinks, as druids are largely known and accepted, sometimes even revered on the Argentian islands.

They still need their own place to gather though, since a cityhall just doesn't do them justic...

Lineart for my next piece

Aurumek post Lineart for my next piece from patreon

Hi friends!

So this is the lineart for the next piece. It started out with the idea of drawing "Avalon", but I'm not sure yet if I want to take it there. The lighting will be a challenge, but also an opportunity to play around a lot since everything is so centered. This gives a chance and also a responsibility to highli...

Hello friends!

First of all, let me say THANK YOU for your support in October and in the other months. I love doing patreon, and even if this isn't like a huge amount of money, it feels like a secret group that is really cool and unique to me, where I can share my thoughts freely.

I have dabbl...

Aurumek post Early Access to "A small place called home" from patreon

Hi everyone! Felt inspired to do this piece while listening to one of Adrian von Zieglers pieces, he's just an amazing composer, and I love to listen to his music. His piece "a little place called home" just kind of let me think of this. I feel like it is SO important to have a place to return to, to call a home, and at the m...

Full drawing of "Solitude"

Aurumek post Full drawing of "Solitude"  from patreon

Hello everyone! Here is the full drawing! One of the many shepherds of Argenta. He's wearing his family sword and stone - a typical sight on young people on the biggest island of Argenta.

Hope you enjoyed, take care!

Shepherd

Aurumek post Shepherd from patreon

Here we have him! This shepherd protects the sheep that produce the wool for a highly respected and rich family in one of the Sky Cities of Argenta. 

He has his stave, his sword and some small magic tricks up his sleeve, and lives a content life, mostly out on his own. 

Once or twice a week he'll show up...

Shepherds Cottage

Aurumek post Shepherds Cottage  from patreon

Hello everyone! We finished moving, and I started working on art again! Loved this crop so much that I wanted to show you separately, I hope you enjoy imagining a life there as much as I do.

Anyways, take care, and prepare to see who lives there next  👀

Moving

Aurumek post Moving  from patreon

Hi! I just wanted to tell you that we'll move this week and the next, so I'll still be drawing, but will be pushing out artworks at a slower pace for these 2 weeks. I'm currently in the lineart phase of the next "Shepherd" piece, but only get to draw like 20-30 minutes a day.
Really looking forward to my new home though, ...

Royal Academy of Magic Research Tower

Aurumek post Royal Academy of Magic Research Tower from patreon

Hello there! 

This is one of many research centres spread all over all regions of Argenta. It belongs to the Royal Academy of Magic, this one is used to study the magic streams flowing through the western mountains that have been very active since the dwarfs have dug up the entrance to an ancient cave here. The mai...

Early Access to "Ancient"

Aurumek post Early Access to "Ancient" from patreon

Sometimes there are artefacts found in Argenta that seem to relate to traveling the stars. These relics have mostly been forgotten, and can mostly be found in long forgotten places like this one.

Hi everyone! Really proud of this one, and no clue why. I feel like this could be rather boring for most people on social med...

Aurumek post Early Access to the next piece and its inspiration from patreon

Hello! I want to share my next piece with you, and also what inspired me to to it. I found this scene of the photo on my way to work, and this is just a beautiful example on how the artist eye should always be kept open. If you go through the world with your eyes wide open, whatever is there usually gifts you these flashes of...

Early Access to newest personal piece

Aurumek post Early Access to newest personal piece from patreon

Hi everyone! Pretty excited about this one, because I tried something different.

As you can probably easily see I didn't make a full illustration, and I kind of love doing this. 

Also, the lineart in the objects themselves is softer now, I kind of like the feel and look of it.

Early Access to "Breezehome" and lineart PSD

Aurumek post Early Access to "Breezehome" and lineart PSD from patreon

My next personal piece, "Breezehome". Love the idea of living by the sea. 

In Argenta, there are many houses and mansions like this one all over the islands, where rich merchants stay over the summer. 

There is a psd with the lineart attached for you, don't know if you'd like that, but now you can see my...

Early Access

Aurumek post Early Access from patreon

The castles of the western islands have always been built into the heights of the skies. As trade flourished, they have grown higher and higher.

Absolutely loved working on this, it has also been the first time to have done this kind of weather.

Time lapse of "Rare Sight"

Hi! Let's see if this works! I haven't been uploading too many reels lately since I'm really busy, so I thought I'd upload a short time lapse here for a change. I'll add it in the attachement, please let me know if it works for you!

Early Access to "Rare Sight"

Aurumek post Early Access to "Rare Sight" from patreon

Dragons have become rare in the lands of Argenta, they mostly went back to the mountains, where they are left in peace. Sometimes they are seen by lone wanderers or shepherds, but rarely talk to them anymore. However, it is said to bring good luck when you see one.

I think I actually really like this character t...

Hello everyone! Wanted to show you my newest drawing of the many mysteries of the Argentian Islands. In the deserts of the Southern islands, the winds will sometimes reveal ancient, long forgotten tombs and places of power. 

As you can imagine, the royal mage academy is always on the search for such sites, as they ...

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well!

First week of my internship is over, phew, this is A LOT to learn.

But anyways, let's get back to the art. This is a picture that I kind of don't really like all too much. I love the idea, but something feels off. I learned though that you sometimes just have to let things...

Early Access to "Coming Home"

Aurumek post Early Access to "Coming Home" from patreon

Hi everyone! This started as a thing that I wasn't really convinced about at first, but the more I stuck to the idea and sketched some more, I started to absolutely love it! 

I love imagining how life must be for beings much smaller than we are. Which is probably why "Arrietty" is one of my all time favorite movies...
