Argent + LMP (Hi-Res)

Double upload! Argent (RegalRegex of Twitter, snake portrait) and LMP_Dragon (Twitter, dragon commander).

I plinked at Argent over the past few months, practicing a few things and trying a few brushes some more. LMP was a commission over the past week and a half-ish. Both were very fun! Argent's such a wonderful design, I absolutely had to share some love with Regal, for sharing him with ...

Goolashe Birthday 2023 (Hi-Res)

Gift for Goolashe's birthday yesterday. c: Playing around in Rebelle a bit more, painting this up in an evening. <3

---

Almost done with Falindrith's giant piece, as well as a piece for LMPDragon, so there should be some good stuff coming shortly! Possibly within a week-ish.

New medicine has been good to me. I'm up to about 5-6 hours a day of focused work, which is great co...

Coming Through (Web Size)

On the hunt for a villain.

A painting for Yoshils!  His big ol' self, squeezing... maybe a little unsuccessfully, but  squeezing all the same, through a city street on the hunt for a villain  that has (momentarily) escaped his sight.

I had a ton of fun with this one! No, that's not a joke over his mass, I  swear. I think this is the largest body I've drawn no...

DoC: Viridian Ring (Web Size)

Suddenly, you feel the air thicken. It's like a storm is brewing...

A piece for Sombreve for his game, Dawn of Corruption! Wonder what this ring might be for. Hmm. Who knows~

I may or may not be doing some work for Sombreve's game, doing  background/landscape or event artwork like this. c: This was kind of,  sort of a test. We'll see if he would like me to do ...

December

Bwomp bwomp.

Sorry for the silence. It's been a weird month!

Goolashe/David is feeling better, mostly. Still gets disoriented if he turns left too quickly, or forgets to take his medicine. But we have an MRI in a few days which should hopefully point out what is exactly going on, since an ENT wasn't any help. Another person in the house has surgeries as well, so chores have been a b...

Draeneth (Web Size)

Quick emergency thing for DraenethDragon of Twitter.

Husband has been sick the past month, and funds are getting low. So  even though I've got a big project currently, I've been poking a few  friends about emergency work -- smaller projects, maybe a bit messier,  etc.. This is one of them!

Warrior of Light

Rough month. Picked up Rebelle 5 Pro during its ten dollar, ten year anniversary sale, and been playing around with it to try to help me out of this rut. I've been drowning some of my sadness in a one month sub to Final Fantasy 14, so I figured I'd take a screenshot that had my character at an angle I liked, I would try painting it in the program. Used Oil brushes for everything but the feather...

Crackshot (Hi Res)

So would you please stand by--
Are we out of time?
Maybe I'll feel better;
Give me forty-five.
Staring at the ceiling,
Choking back my feelings.
Can't be one hundred if you're only giving ninety-five.

Melancholy kaleidoscope--it's high time
you shake things up and get the picture in your head right.
Melancholy kaleidoscope--it's alright.
Can't be one hundred if ...

Mock Fight (Web Size)

A painting for Marshtomphappy and ThornDracorn of FA! These giants might  look tough, but I assure you, this is just for show... Though the arena  might take some damage by the end.

This one took me a bit. I got  a bit into my own head for a while, because I wanted to knock this one  out of the park for these two, because they are both sweethearts and  absolutely...

Crackshot (WIP thumbs)

Fiddling with the idea of a personal piece. An image in my head that I've sort of gone over a few times, thinking on how it'd look. Figured I should get it out in some form. I think I want to paint up the first version, at the least. Once it's done, I'd probably duplicate a copy and then look into the second.

For the record, I am -okay-. This is not a call for help or vent piece. I think ...

Crystal Tower (Web Size)

A painting for korboryn of Twitter! Torvanskir has spotted a delicious looking prize atop a flimsy tower. An easy steal.

Dragon! Big tail! Wings! It's got it all. What else can you ask for? I tried a few small tweaks to the process on this one, mostly in trying to get my colors to harmonize a bit better, and alternating blending brushes into my rendering a little more. The former worked w...

Tavern Brawl Bros (Web Size)

A piece for PoshPompadour (Twitter), alongside Raging_Air (Twitter)!  Gnolls are both destructive yet quick to end fights once they realize  they are an even match. My poor tavern was no match, though...

Commune (Web Size)

A piece for Espyrian of FA/Twitter! Taking time to appreciate what's around you.

I  don't have a ton to say on this one. I think it speaks for itself!  Always fun to just work with a fun figure, and paint some glowing  lights, fancy hair, bits of cloth, a good body, etcetc.. These are  always sort of like a nice check-in, since even way, way back years ago,  some...

One Step Above Gigantic (Web Size)

A piece for Terantic of Twitter! Gigantic didn't cut it. Gerard had to go one higher.

After the duo piece I did for Cad of a normal sized Cad and then a  hulking one, Terantic asked if I could do the same with Gerard. I was  more than happy to help out with that. Figured I'd have some fun with it  as well, given his clever Twitter bio line, and added more cracked  gr...

Starlight (Web Size)

A book cover for Ilkarin of FA!

First time doing something like this. Trying to remember there would be text placed over the image made for some initial worries as I started painting, second-guessing if I was accounting for a book alright. I'm still rather happy with the result, even though the work got split in half due to various events, and I think it kind of shows a little if you get ...

Overload (Web Size)

A character piece for FuramiT of FA! Exploring old ruins can teach you a lot. History, for Flammie, and a painful lesson for the dangers lurking within them.

Man, I don't have a lot to say here on this one. Sometimes a prompt just clicks real good. c: I think this is my new favorite character piece I've done -- I feel like this one's a step above a lot of the others.
