Bridge Four stew
Here's the finished cover image for Bryan Vanderhoof's Rosharan cookbook project! I had a lot of fun with Bridge Four (and a rare smiling Kaladin)!Left to right: Hobber in front, then Skar and Drehy, Rock, Renarin, Teft, Kaladin, Moash, and Lopen in front again. Here's the cover mock-up:...
Bridge Four stew, and last day of Dungeons&Dormice preorder!
Hi all! It's been a few weeks. I've been busy with family emergencies (a son stranded without money in Beijing will keep you up at night; he’s all right now) and with this commission for Bryan, for his Stormlight Archive-themed cookbook! Front we have Hober left and Lopen right; back from ...
Dungeons&Dormice mugs!!
Earlier this year, I was approached by Donovan Pottery about a collaboration for their themed, wonderfully nerdy mugs. Now we bring you a collection of five mousy mugs, paired with custom dice sets! I'm totally in love with the ideas the team came up with. And I want them all Bard mug so badly! ...
Shipping stop to the US (hopefully temporary)
Just a quick note (because I was dealing with more personal $#
Our world. Our rules.
Her other hand emerged from the smoke and seized his. They held to each other as the city trembled, the smoke died, and the world changed. They clung to one another as light from above rained down and shone on her face. The last wisps of darkness vanished.Brandon Sanderson, Yumi and the Nightmare Pa...
NSFV (but sfw): Kaladin bed scene
NSFV (not safe for Vorins, because you can see the nameless girl's safehand, so she's shockingly naked!! 😱)The closest Kaladin ever comes to any amount of intimacy in the books:"He tried—unsuccessfully—to banish the image of lying in bed with a woman, Syl sitting on the headboard ...
Shardplate badger for David (and opaque ramblings)
Commission for David, which was an utter joy. I had so much fun with this lil guy!ShinHan Pass hybrid watercolour/gouache on Canson Montval paper, A4 size. I'm on a mission to get into opaque watercolours. They seem like the best thing that’s currently happening to my way of painting. Handle l...
Bridger of Minds, Welder of Worlds (finished)
"Yes, Renarin knew emotion. Today he basked in it. This was the future he wanted. It wasn’t the one that others might have chosen, and wasn’t one that many would have chosen for him. He wasn’t even certain it was right, but it was what he wanted. He would merely have to hope that those who...
Bridger of Minds, Welder of Worlds - in progress
And about time, too! It seems to me MaketheKholinBoysHappy week, so I’ll oblige. I toed around this one for ages, and now gave it a go with the Shinhan Pass hybrid gouache/watercolours. And they're so fun! They dry really fast, have this soft, creamy look, but can be layered and glazed like wa...
Passionspren
"The heat he’d been fighting off rose within him, outdoing that of the stream from above, and the passionspren fell more powerfully. It seemed that whether or not she had time to spare, they were going to find it."Full image is on Discord. ^^
Badger in Shardplate
Sketch for a commission for David (nicknamed Badger)! I love this guy. He'd be such a perfect fit for the D&D Humblewood setting that we're currently playing. (And I still haven’t drawn my mouse barbarian!) I’ll finish him in a week or so; first, I’m off to my parents for a few days an...
Discord troubleshooting
If you join Discord as a 3€+ supporter, your name there should show up as teal green. That means you have access to all the channels. If it shows up white, this is what we can do:Wait for a bit. Discord often catches up after a few hours.I can manually set your role to Patreon supporter. If you jo...
Welcome!
Welcome to my Patreon page! Here's where I post all my art, news and updates, commission info and so forth. There's also the occasional process video, tutorial, new Procreate brushes, colouring pages, and so on! DISCORD: A lot of in-progress shots end up on Discord instead, as well as some c...
*NSFW preview* Shower scene
“Surely we have a few minutes,” he said, “before running to the next crisis? I mean, haven’t you always wondered what it would be like, out in the rain…?”Adolin and Shallan in the shower. The full version is in the nsfw channel on Discord. There are technically no genitals visible (and o...
"Having trouble, bridgeboy?"
My boys. Kaladin on his training pony, being indignant, and Adolin on his high horse, being insufferable. 😂Spent yesterday on trains, so iPad it was.
Thranduil Nouveau, watercolour
Here he is in all his glory! Watercolour and gouache (and some ShinHan Pass hybrids) on Montval paper, 29x39 cm. It’s weird how a few years of digital and a month of gouache have rewired my watercolour brain. 😳 I somehow was under the impression I'd just go back to how I used to paint, but ...
Thranduil Nouveau - lineart
Lineart for the Elvenking in all his Art Nouveau splendour, for Is! I made ANOTHER lineart brush, and because I never write down what brush I used for what lineart, I just named this one "Thranduil liner" because it rocks. And I used it slim enough to mimic my previous pencilling style, only...
The Stormfather's Judgment (tw: blood)
After the highstorm in which Brightlord Sadeas ordered Kaladin strung up, Bridge Four emerges from their barrack to find Kaladin miraculously alive. I'm in full swing with commissions! Next up: an Art Nouveau Elvenking, a badger, and two exciting projects I can’t wait to tell you about 🤩 (i...
Updates (a.k.a., doing too many things at once)
Only downside to working traditionally again: you can't take an A3 work-in-progress anywhere! So when I'm not often home, I start one wip after another, lol. If you're on the Discord, you know all these already, but here they are again! First up, finished lineart of Rlain and Renarin, no...
*WaT spoiler* To blend these worlds
This path leads to both pain and joy. “So much better to feel,” Renarin said, “than to take the path that leads to only greyness and safe solitude. This is what I want. Him, yes, but also the life where we try to blend these worlds.”Renarin and Rlain. A human and a singer trying to bridge mi...
Kaladin’s eyes snapped open - comic page "inked"
I'm sorry for the long silence here! It's been a rough few weeks. I don’t weather conventions as well as I used to, it appears, and I had very little to show from Tolkien Tage. I did a few sketches but sold most of them before I could photograph them, lol.I was working on one more finished...
Some commission slots over the summer!
We've got a few new people, and I know a few have asked about commissions, so let's make this official! I'm opening Fanart commissions again for a few slots over the summer. Please note: I'll select the ones that speak to me the most, so this is not a first-come-first-serve situation...
Sketch: "Kaladin's eyes snapped open"
First steps of a commission for Jerome! We quickly decided there was so much here that it had to be a comic page, so here we go. It's the scene from "Way of Kings” after Kaladin’s been strung up in a highstorm, and his bridge crew are shocked to find him alive.I'm also getting ready ...
Six fanarts complete: Rua!
"No, wrong finger. Nope, not that one either. Naco, that’s your foot."(Lopen to Rua, teaching him rude gestures. He calls him Naco, because the Lopen never calls anyone by their actual name.)This took a while, whew! The actual painting probably went quicker than digital would have, but wor...
Sixfanarts: Lift
Doing something interesting here: I used opaque watercolour (namely, buff titanium) for the face, something that I’ve avoided like the plague for decades, ever since I decided that transparent was the way to go. Now I feel that there definitely are opaque colours that give you a beautiful soft and...
Sixfanarts: Nale and Maya
The learning curve here went like this:Evi: I’m so good OMGTaravangian: I used too small brushes and completely over-plastered. (That's the official term now.)Nale: Big brushes. Bold strokes. Yay! Clothes? Boring.Maya: Sometimes, learning gouache is to know when not to use gouache and do it in...
Taravangian - sketchbook
Weeeelllll… let’s say I learned a lot. I've found that’s a better way of saying "I totally botched this". Some things worked. I actually used gouache to glaze very carefully, and that worked nicely. The skin was a catastrophe from the start and no matter now many layers I added, it...
Sixfanarts: Evi
Evi in gouache! I'm actually surprised how well she turned out (the ugly stage was exceptionally ugly, and her nose looked terrible up until the last tweak). Luckily, in gouache, you can fix things like that!I now made myself a little gouache kit from an old watercolour box, which is great to ta...
I am Unity

*drumroll* First watercolour since 2021 =D
Shallan sketching. Watercolour on Bockingford paper, just under A4 size.🥳🥳🥳Four years and two months without this. And all because my daughter said "I want to try book-edge painting" and I said, I‘ll try a landscape, can't be that hard. Oh, I think I can work in traditional me...
