I mean, how could I not
Intuition proved me right and I chose a significant scene to portray earlier in the journey, so now I get to reap the rewards of doing a beautiful full-circle-call-back moment in an echoing art set for the climax of the story💯
Can't believe we've already got this far...
Some good progress was made - although I staid true to my conviction of never having it all figured out in the first stage: There's now three new panels that crept their way in for better flow, suspense and communication reasons.
Looking forward to getting these filled and cleaned up and ready for coloration!
The first page of a new, sigh, four page comic (I originally intended for this to be maybe four panels, welp) plus the very rough layout sketch so you can see how ugly some of these things start out, haha!
At that stage it's not about being pretty or fully accurate, though.; It's more about flow and composition in the broadest sense, so I can get a feeling for what I need and want to show while keeping a good visual flow over multiple pages. Pretty comes once I can be...
"Last, as the golden flame receded, there was a violet flash of light in Cazador’s eyes, just before they began to widen, further and rounder, terrified, when he met Tyrus’s blank gaze."
Or I read chapter 37 of PS and I am not okay.

Also very much love the irony of drawing Cazador for the first time right at the second his plans got crossed

I'm very much enjoying how many people come around lately to see their Tavs get portrayed by me. It's just so much fun to do character designs and expressions✨

Made some good progress on this one as well! The angst is angsting, but the comfort is also comforting.

A bit of a throwback to last years underwear calendar because I got commissioned to do Shirabu a little while back with similar vibes~

It's honestly surprising how long it took me to do a proper back piece of the man, but lo and behold, here it is in all it's spicy glory heh

I wonder.
Aka we all love little appetizers from time to time, so I happily provide.

I accidentally didn't start the time lapse until I already started on Astarions outlines but I thought it's still interesting to share one, even if it's partial.
Really looking forward to putting some shadows on this one😏
I finished this one to be in a state I'm okay with so I don't get too caught up in details and dragging this along until it dies in the dumbster lol
I need more happy moments with these two, so more kissing and embracing it is😌

The beauty of commissions is people making me test the waters for things I wouldn't have tackled necessarily otherwise.
First time coloring a dragonborn certainly was an experience!
Also absolutely love the change between the sketch to lineart to coloration.
My brain always going "did it even change that much?"
Yes hun, it did
Or "any excuse to draw the pale elf in ethereal lighting"
Educational purposes only of course.

There’s been requests for explaining how I do my skin coloring, so I tried breaking down my current technique showing the full process as well as showcasing the different brushes I’m using to add shadows, texture and color while also explaining the order of things I’m doing it all in.
As a little disclaimer I do wanna say that this is nothing set in stone and mostly meant as a general introduction to my current way of rendering skin from start to finish. I am mentioning th...

It's been one of those days where suddenly everyone in your party turns out to be either a vampire, shar worshipper, someone stuck with a ticking time bomb in their bodies both figuratively and literally, or even a warlock suddenly making his contract everyone elses problem - no wonder there's some suspicions about.
Aka Elion rolled a 1 on deception when Emera was trying to do simple small talk during their daily gossip sesh- I mean stategy meeting.

I spent my personal drawing time with getting a good practice in on portraying hair today. Using Tyrus and his hair progression in the story as the perfect excuse to play around.

Once in a blue moon I'm allowed to return to old favorites during commission work. Roy and Maes, especially during the Ishval War, hold such a fortress in a secluded corner of my heart, so I'm more than excited to portray them after it's been some time!

Silly little sth sth because the story is becoming so dark, I just want to blind them by light. Also wear sunscreen guys.

Some progress on the magic drawing and another featuring Tyrus with longer hair as well because as much as I love his short cuts, imagining him with longer hair is just something I (and Astarion likely) very much enjoy.
Also can anyone guess what spell he's casting?😏
Aaaaand done! Also enjoy an exclusive close-up, I'm just very happy with their expressions ;)

Have this sneak peek at the artwork I did in collaboration with Huion for their 30th birthday!
I got the chance to review their Kamvas 22 as well as the Keydial for the last month and as someone who already worked with their devices in the past, I can still very confidently say that they are one of my favorites to work with!
The artwork you see here is inspired by Pantone's Color of the Year "Peach Fuzz".

Hello my lovely people,
I have been a little quiet around here the last two weeks and the reason for that are these two little nuggets who moved in last thursday. All the excitement and prep work did swallop up the bigger portion of my time - and on top of that I'm already not sure my working setup is really to call just mine anymore . . . 👀
This is pretty exciting for all parties involved, but I'm so happy to have the new company! We're all still very much in the process of f...
WIPs of the latest drawings before proper coloration.
Really fascinating what the rendering does to the overall shapes of the faces!
Counterbalancing all the horrible things with some wholesome closeness.
Look at all those nice little muscles and clothing - and a pining Tav❤️🔥

The drow boy stays consistent in my current drawing schedule, so here's a vision of him in a hypothetical future beyond what the story told so far, likely being drawn from Astarions mind envisioning him in elvish silver . . . and maybe being somewhat visually colored by his second favorite drow, Drizzt😏

This week I went back to the basics because I realised over my drawing hiatus that I'm feeling a little rusty around the fundamentals and would like to improve my efficiency both in anatomical work but also accuracy in posing.
For that I'm aiming to do 30-40 minute studies at least every other day, using the nice and easy tool that you can access on https://quickposes.com/en
To help with line hesitancy I'm keepi...
Say hello to Elion, my half-elf sorcerer boy who got thrusted into the events of BG3.
He's my first Tav I have a more elaborate backstory for, so I'm really excited to show some of that eventually...
He's also part of a co-op campaign, so he's accompanied by a lovely Dragonborn going by the name Emera. Really looking forward to introduce them both together soon✨
