Celery Man

note about this month's painting

hey guys, so I've wanted to do something for the Twitter crowd to celebrate hitting 100k followers over there. I'm working on something fun with Tusky! it's very celebratory... 🍾

I'd like to post that painting for Twitter at the end of this month, before too much time has passed, but that means it'll go up here on Patreon at the same time. so no early access this month. however, I'll still put the high-res versions on here as well as a couple fun exclusive variations. how do you guy...

quick update on painting process videos 🎨 coming soon!!

I'm behind on making painting process videos for some of my recent stuff! but I'm going to work on that tonight and get a couple to show you guys over the next week. part of the issue is that I'm painting in much higher resolution files now, to be able to give sweet 4k paintings to you guys, but that makes my PSD files so huge that photoshop creaks under the weight by the time I'm done and sifting back through the layers of progress is slow!! 😅

WIP: Verrix

I went with the night time lighting setup! I'm a sucker for dramatic moody lighting. Verrix is coming along and should have the final product ready for the 1st... 

WIP: Verrix, three moods

tried out three different options for colors and lighting on Verrix! I have a favorite option already 🤔

Sketch: Verrix, Knight-Captain

Verrix is one of my favorite characters, but I've barely ever drawn him! Time to change that... thought it'd be fun to get a look at his back side 🍑

Here are some nerdy facts about Verrix for the curious:
🏰He's a paladin type guy who fights for the holy cathedral, and he's kind of a hardass.
😤I imagine him being pretty serious, not the most lighthearted, and very aggressive and nimble on the battlefield.
⚡His chosen weapon is a long gold great lance and he som...

Reed Variations 🍃 4k

unfortunately 2k is the highest resolution I have for the unit card elements 😖 maybe someday I'll remake the whole thing in higher res. if I do I'll go back and retroactively update all the old cards!

POLL: help design a new character! part 2

Alright! the winner of the first poll, the new character's major element, was 🍃LIFE🍃!

now it's time to determine the character's minor element, and then I'll design the new character based on whichever combo wins.

we've already had a character who was 🍃LIFE + ICE🧊 in the past (King Ulrich!) so I'll leave ICE off the list of options. go forth and vote, mighty celery stalks!!!

POLL: help design a new character! PART 1

Mighty Celery Stalks, I need your help!! for my next painting I'd love to come up with a brand new character who lives in the same medieval-fantasy universe as Verrix, Sipher, et al.

We will design this new character by choosing what elements they are aligned with. First we'll choose their major element:
HOLY ✨
CHAOS 👺
LIFE 🍃
or DEATH 💀

on Monday I'll put up Part 2 in a separate poll for you guys to choose the minor element 2022-10-07 19:42:40 +0000 UTC View Post
