Amburil [C]

Commission for Josh, of their Elder Scrolls character Amburil
A cracked mirror reflection to show her present and past.

This commission had the additional challenge of trying to balance the two reflections. Different enough to make you realise I'm not just a bad artist with poor vision, yet similar enough to let you realise it's the same woman looking at her own reflection. I think it turned out pretty good in the end!

Attending the Winter Ball

Designed for Faebelina's annual Winter Ball 2021 <3 Not often I do personal work, but I found time this year to attend the ball.

This picture is a great summation of my favourite things to draw - the colour blue, and redheads.

Rays of Sun

some personal work for once! 

I had this rough idea for a while. I just love painting weightless hair, the large brush strokes are so therapeutic. I usually never play around with colours and light like this, because it's rather intimidating and hard to get it right. there was a long time where I wasn't sure if it'd turn into anything to be honest, but I'm glad I stuck with it!

Step by Step: Beyond the Horizon

1, 2, 3, 4 I declare a thumb war


This drawing also followed my standard process more or less from start to finish. Lineart - flat colours - soft light - render time - render time - render time. 

This time I was also commissioned to paint tattoos, which, as you can see, was one of the last things I did.
