Pantsless Pancake Selfie (nudity)

Sometimes an image wanders into my mind that I just need to get down in scribbly-sketch form before.  This time around its Cindy (Cinders) in her modern day incarnation taking a selfie to send along to her husband.

She's clearly proud of the pancake breakfast she's made.  She's also found  her favorite nook to e...

Swishin' Breakfast. (flats)

Finally got the flats done for the painting this month.  I tend to do a fairly basic run of flats for anything I'm going to be painting in full.  I find the more linework there is the more thinks I need to edit in the overpainting, so I try to keep lines to a 'cell animation' level.

I had to restart this once as the ...

A Quick Update

I finally compiled the master list of $10 patrons and should send out a notice about the free sketch to the next person on the list on the 24th this month.  I like to try and aim for the 15th each month but its been more busy than usual in other job aspects.

That said, I'm slowly making my way through the new folks who si...

Storefronts Scribbles!

A warm-up series of simple sketches done before working on this month's painting.  I love interesting storefronts.  When researching various 15th to 17th century storefronts I kept finding some amazing places that could be adapted to the style of cities in Felwroth, and what started as a side-research rummage turned in...

Spring Seed Shopping - 300dpi

Flaffy hooves, in high resolution!

Spring Seed Shopping

A little picture done for practice.  Slightly more 'cartoony' than I usually do on purpose, as it forces me to not over-detail everything to death.

I saw the first glimpses of lawn under the heaps of snow here, and my head was filled with Cinders bouncing around, excited for the upcoming Spring, wanting to pick up all the...

Whispered Pontifex of the Nocturnal Sodality

Desiimontarus bore many eldritch shrines and buildings amidst its sprawl of ponderous looming homes and temples.  The city is the largest port on the eastern Aegencald, founded by the Othiskarri, a draconic people of complicated politics from the Othiskar islands far off the coast.

One of the strangest pair of structures ...

Stuff and Things for March

I was off to a bit of a slow start at the end of Feb and beginning of March this year.  It actually feels like I've had maybe about 10 hours at home in the last couple weeks, and I've been to every medical office in the city.

But I am starting to get things together again.  I've been thinking about some things that I...

Of Tea, Birds, and Autumn (300dpi)

Bigger Bawk

Bigger Flepflep

Bigger Berd.

Of Birds, Tea, and Autumn

A case of an 'NPC' in a game I briefly ran that became a more permanent resident of the world.  Chime is the first real look I've had at the Aaracockra people on Felwroth, and she's been fairly charming.

She sips (as much as a bird can sip) an evening tea, looking out over the ancient oaks and white ash, weather just on t...

Birds and Tea (flat colours)

I've finally sat still for a day and picked an image to start doing colour work on.

I wanted to try out something a little more loose and painterly with the background before putting in the general flat colours (it oddly looks like an unfinished animation cell now, which wasn't intended but does amuse me).

Hoping to have...

Singing over Tea (300dpi linework)

So many lines.

So much flaaf.

Singing over Tea (Linework)

I finally got around to getting the linework cleaned up for this image.  I plan on adding colour though I'm not sure if I'll leave it as an illustrative drawing or do a full painting of it just yet.  I guess I'll see how the flat colours/pre-lighting goes!

Cinders singing the "I like being a Neigh." song as Aodhan an...

A Short Note (Might be offline briefly)

Hey all!

Just letting folks here know that I might be offline for a short while.  We had to get tech out here to look at the internet problems we've been having and its looking to be more extensive than we first thought.

This won't interrupt my work schedule, and I'll be able to keep plugging away at paintings. &nbs...

Neighs have the best dances

Just a preview of a rough 'life scene' of the Stormshoals.  Cinders is shameless about singing her favorite songs (this one has swishing) and she's pretty good at it.  Berrand and Aodhan both seem to enjoy the show with breakfast.

Sylvianne's Low Lantern Rest

A sketch for Sylvian who was last month's Patron on the monthly sketch list.  I found it amusing that January was unofficially a 'draw birds' month and the random name-draw name program picked someone who, in fact, wanted me to draw a bird!

I still love drawing forest/outdoor scenes, this one at a rest-spot lit by small l...

Rawr, I'm a monstah! (Mine Revenant)

The longer I'm able to run a current D&D game, the more things I find I'll randomly draw out as a warm up.

I ended up improvising a lot and using much of the art and maps that I've posted over the last while.  It seems to be going well!

I might, in the future, do an 'old school' mock up of a module complete with...

Of Birds and Tea (300dpi)

Full pixels of chaotic scribbling.

Of Birds and Tea (Linework)

Bawk, Bawk.

Flap, flap.

Bird.

Galcaerrow Mines (Final Map)

Frustration ebbed over the face of the hobgoblin who glared down into a yellowed and frayed parchment set atop a pile of similar yellowing papyrus.

"The bones of one should know" Yellow eyes leered for another moment before shaking overtook the creature "Why is the answer not within the hollows!  The old marrow.  Tel...

Of Birds and Tea (sketch)

I've missed the autumn, and wanted to draw a full image of Chime at her little makeshift scatterboard hut near the hollow town of Blackpine, taking in one of the few lovely parts of living in 'the sorrow' that is the dark-touched areas from Whiterook.

The tea itself is a survival technique.  It keeps the eyes of the Lycan...

Moss (The Chronicle) - Concept sketches

"Moss.. We must stop." a faint, shaking woman's voice whispered

The lichen covered stone and slate humanoid paused in its rumbling stride, looking to the slight Elven woman in its arms "We are but a few strides from the platform, Mistress--"

"No.  I am tired." she eyed her creation through lidded eyes, face streaked...

Galcaerrow Mines (Upper) Sketch

I hadn't planned on posting any other of the maps I'd made until someone noted that they're just as 'world building' as other images.

Maps tend to be my 'off time' art.  When I take Saturdays off work I find myself wanting to sketch out ideas about where people might live, and I've loved doing that via maps.  It actu...

Chime Reference Sketch (300dpi)

So many pixels.  SO MUCH BIRB!

Chime Reference Sheet

"Zaphaal calls to you.  His wind is under your wings dear one.  The others have forgotten what it was like when the sky and clouds called to them, when its power raced through their bones.  

No matter what, remind them.  Find the songs of our old temple.  Of the soaring places.  Remin...
