A man with brown curly hair and a long ponytail. He wears a green tunic and glasses with a white undershirt and black fingerless globes. He is casting a spell from a magical tome.

Felt like doing a colored sketch to try to get back into drawing more regularly without burning out.

I've been a big fan of @ezrodraws.bsky.social 's character Richard, and have been meaning to draw him.

A promotional image for a Sword&Key game. The background is black and indigo with cloud-like texture over it. All of the text is white and the title of the game is at the top. It is called The Indigo Nexus, an Invisible Sun Game. At the bottom of the image, the game info says it runs on Saturdays at 10am PST/1pm EST/7pm CET on twitch.tv/sword_and_key. The Sword&Key logo is in the corner. In the center is the cast and character art of all the PCs. From left to right there is: - A young black woman with hair in space buns, wearing a periwinkle skirt with a scissor motif, long sleeved blouse, and holding a raven in her arms who she is looking lovingly at. They are played by Ventris (laventuredouble on BlueSky) - A southeast asian person with shoulder length black hair with blue udnertones wearing a long sleeved white shirt that is half unbuttoned to show tattoos on their chest. There is a shawl off their shoulder floating in the wind. They are wearing a variety of bangles on their wrists and around their neck. They are played by Ian (iandepriest on BlueSky) - Short dark haired person with horns over their head, wearing glasses, a maroon button down shirt and black vest. She has a cat on her shoulder that is staring directly at the viewer and there are sooth cards floating around them. This is the GM Mer (archmageofdice on BlueSky) - A white individual in a plain flowy neutral shirt wearing horse blinders and a crown of flowers. Played by Trout (tricksywizard on BlueSky) - A dapper but anxious looking man with strawberry blonde hair, red eyes, and pince-nez glasses with an ornate red button down and blue vest. Played by Asher (tickyhead on BlueSky) - A confident looking man with long brown hair with a blonde streak and bronze skin. Wearing a white button down, blue vest, and buckle harness. There is a tortoiseshell cat on his shoulder. Played by Seth.

Page four and five: 1 - Pulled-out two page spread of a massive deciduous tree with a long branch extending toward the pine tree Weetrill noticed. There are multiple tiny Weetrills on this tree. He climbs the trunk, pauses on the top branch to gauge the distance to the pine tree, and makes a massive leap from the deciduous tree to the pine tree. Narrator: A bauble for a start and then a quest in need of minding. 2- Top down shot of Weetrill climbing hand-over-hand through the thin needl-y pine branches 3 - Weetrill clings to one branch and stretches out his hand to try and grab the red berry Narrator: And golden rare’s the morning when… 4- The branch Weetrill is holding for balance snaps in two.

Page 21 1 - Weetrill is still dragging the locket through the dust, away from Plumkin, continuing his thoughts from the page before where he insisted he didn’t know what the locket was. Weetrill: A Bauble, I suppose. I’m only dropping it off for Magpie. 2 - Weetrill is re-wrapping the locket chain around his shoulders. Plumkin stands behind him, pressing him with more questions. Plumkin: Dontcha wanna keep it? Weetrill: I have no interest in such things. 3 - Plumkin can’t believe what she’s hearing. Plumkin: But what if it’s a quest?! 4 - Weetrill turns his back on Plumkin and looks haughtily down at her over his shoulder Weetrill: I have even less interest in that. 5 - Weetrill stands with a finger in the air, like an instructor. The background is a chalkboard with diagrams indicating why quests are a bad idea. Weetrill: Quests are for the Stout Folk, and Baubles for the distractable

Page 33 - 1 - Magpie Witchbird casts a wry smile down at her sheepish visitor. Magpie: Well met, Weetrill. 2 - Weetrill gazes up apprehensively at Magpie as she continues speaking from off-panel, Magpie: Shrink’st not low in thy chair - thou hast my word I’ve grown not larger. 3 - A wide panel of Magpie’s nest. We see the Witchbird from behind as she addresses Weetrill, still seated in his teacup. Magpie: ‘Tis many months now since last my door thou didst last darken. 4 - Weetrill dithers in his seat, avoiding eye contact. Weetrill: Has it really been that long? My, but where does the time go? 5 - A profile shot of Magpie’s enormous antlered head pushing in close to Weetrill, who cringes into his teacup seat. Magpie: Where INDEED, young one?

Page 42: 1-2 - Weetrill, gobsmacked and pleading, sits in the teacup Weetrill: That’s impossible I– there must be some mistake! I’m too ordinary for a Destiny! 3 - Magpie summons a shape in starlight of Weetrill as a cub, curled up asleep, having been left at her doorstep Magpie: Ordinary? Thou dost jape! Thy life is wreathed in riddles! 4 - Magpie scrutinizes Weetrill closely Magpie: Mayhap thou hast seen such a shape before? Did once thou see its like in the time before thou didst come to our grove? 5 - Weetrill looks away, annoyed at the question Weetrill: You know I don’t remember anything 6 - Magpie’s talon turns his face up to meet her eyes Magpie: But try, young Weekin.

an illustration of qifrey from witch hat atelier. he's resting upon a mass of tree roots and branches, coming in swathes of purples, greys and blues. his robes are long and flowy, cascading down and around him like water; both his clothes and the tree are blending into one another. qifrey is looking slightly behind him, towards a giant, golden star haloing him. MILD SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 93: his hands come to his chest; one gripping his ribbon tassel while the other brushes against the swirl of tree branches. At the center of these branches is a lantern which partially covers the silhouettes of a young qifrey and olruggio.
