Took a bit of a break from drawing, was able to come back with a tree drawing.
I found this tree standing with its rock in Cannock Chase Forest. Lots of beautiful ancient oaks still hanging around there and summertime is really beautiful in England, itβs hard not to draw it

Preview image of four Eidolon Folio tarot-sized cards (left-right) A bright white person-sized bird holding a wavy-bladed sword in a set of ruins, looming tiger statue (with a sword in its mouth) in the background; a corpse lies on a bed of skulls, hand on the hilt of the sword it's impaled on, the sword bursting with magic energy; an enormous standing dragon looks over its right shoulder, framed over the mountain peaks in the forground; a person wearing a gold mask sits on a weird sculptural horse on a mound of rock, with an eclipse in the background, under a framed shooting star.
One continuous piece (bottom) split up into 4 tarot-sized card images (top); it depicts a meeting of insectoid alien beings bearing spiked polearms with a group of masked humanoid beings riding fanged camel-like creatures and bearing banners in an alien script, under a red skyscape with a green moon, an icy blue moon and a purple planetoid.
Our latest Swords Without Master update includes more Eidolons from @simonroy.bsky.social, @sambeckdraws.bsky.social, @newjackcole.bsky.social, @monstermonger.bsky.social and @azuremeraki.bsky.social!

A bowman in black draws his longbow. Next to him, another bowman, handsome, crouches with foot resting on a rock. His bow is in his hand. At his other side, a boyish sprite.
From an original Story idea by John Reppion, alas, this project never came out. But I loved the idea. #bowman #fantasy #penandink
i picked this up over the weekend and kept grabbing my husbands face to make him look at how stylish and cool the art was

Day 3 of #pleinairpril - i snapped some blurry photos from the car yesterday evening because the fog filling downtown Toronto was so pretty, and chose one to paint today!
#gouachepainting on wood panel
i really love this, it captures the wet foggy streets so well
A collage of illustrated characters all with their face missing, replaced by an empty white void. Inklings crawl from a tome of text that is melting into a great O. A priest greets in four-armed benediction. A spectre haunting a bookshelf steals a man's face, twisted in horror. A Knight Captain sits astride a destrier. The noble court at the top of the stairs whisper gossip to one another. A Shadow across the landscape makes a solemn gesture. A colossus rests on the bridge to a broken tower.
The Roun. The first civilization to span the Thousand Moons and now haunting their own ruins.

also like, reach out your peers. i feel like i used to see people whine about having to answer student emails, but theres nothing i love more than answering questions from newcomers/students.
go make them in whatever form you want. you'll definitely do it wrong and badly no matter what advice you take, but theres no such thing as wasted time when you're creating.
in tiered fields stand temples with terracotta roofs and colourful banners. in the background three stars or ships hurtle towards the ground. in the foreground farmers hold bales of their harvest and look out at the scene.
Vestina, one of the many moons of Realis.

An image of a green/brown moon, cut down its equator, floating in a sea of clouds. In the foreground at the bottom of the image, a group of shepherds or nomads, along with their alien animals, look off to the horizon. Upsidedown at the top of the image, but still In the foreground at, a group of adventurers climb over rocky hills and look into the horizon.
Halfmoon, Twaincut. Done for Realis.
I just put up a post for my $1 tier talking about the process for Halfmoon Twaincut, as well as a layered PSD of what my layer stack madness looks like if you're at the $5 tier.

Forest study! I'm in love with how dense the underbrush is in the pacific northwest, and I want to be able to draw it so bad
An illustration of a long haired man with elf ears looking somberly at the viewer. He has tear tracks down his cheeks. he is standing in front of a series of eroded statues, each of which also has tears in its eyes and is overgrown with foliage. The sky is red and ominous behind them.
An illustration with a decorative white border. In the center, a large, dark gray skinned man with glowing eyes is lying on his back, and a much shorter man with pale skin and long hair is resting on his shoulder, nude and draped in a dark blue cloth. In the background, various versions of the shorter man are lying dead, with a ripple effect distorting them and the background.
A group portrait of five men (two at the top, one in the center, two at the bottom), with each of the outer four looking yearningly at the man in the center. The top-left man has dark skin, red eyes looking away from the viewer, and black coily hair which is tied back with a red ribbon. The top-right man has pale white skin and long, silver hair and yellow eyes, and is wearing a black bodysuit mask over his mouth and nose. The man in the center has medium tan skin and long, dark blue hair with silver streaks. His eyes are golden. The bottom-left man has light skin, short black hair with a silver gradient at its roots, a mustache, and is wearing a decorative red rose eyepatch over his visible eye. The bottom-right man has light skin, blonde hair cut into a choppy jellyfish cut with curls at the bottom, and pale blue eyes.
A dark illustration of a sorcerer wearing black robes, a tall black hat, and a scarf resembling fish scales. He's also wearing a white mask that fully covers his face that resembles a jester's mask. The image has a patterned frame and text that reads "ARCH-SORCERER OF LYMPH YVON"

anyway, i decided to go full purple pink hair
got about 70-ish pages left of this book to draw and im so...over it π« each page feels monumentally hard, despite them being way easier technically than drawing the 50 horses and men in armour of previous pages.
Some more frames from Hermann
Both are examples of parallel written narrative and illustrations that while not precisely comic-like, still inform and compliment each other to create sequential work (2/?)

i have this dream of like using a lot of my own photography to collage some stuff in this comic and to also do some weird mixed media with scans/ink transfers from various plants/broken branches i collect.
mmm an excuse to walk around parks for 'work'
sent off round 1 of my script+layout for my next book and im so.....excited to start drawing but i must finish this CURRENT book first
