Guild Wars added an option to replay some of its older content that was unavailable for 7 years, and I remembered that I actually made fanart of one of the characters at some point in the past. I went to search for it and found a bit of a hogspot of old sketches, most of which are unpublished. I had them printed out in a Sket...

I unfortunately didn't get to do much over February, since my day job once again reared its ugly side and had me work several allnighters and weekend shifts to fix someone else's buggery, but I got myself some human practice, too (and a few caffeine-drunken bets over very badly drawn comics).

The first painting I did as an official partner to Guild Wars 2/ArenaNet, just on time for Path of Fire expac to hit.

Various progress shots of currently open paintings. I'd very much like to do at least a sketch of all my charr and their default mounts, if time permits sometime this year. But there's 15 of them, so... that's a lot.
