OC - Wild Herd
The Wildwoods patch went live last week and I've been squirreling some stuff away related to it. You'll get to meet these 3 in mid March for something special! Here's a preview of the designs. Miikka and I have habit of turning Jack, Veeti and Anna into different cameos in our worlds, an...
Moving house - We're off to Shetland
Hi guys! Elli here ♥Firstly I wanted to apologise for the lack of content recently, a lot has happened this year already. The main reason being, we're shipping our stuff to the Shetland Isles!This wasn't confirmed until a few days ago (we thought it was already in early February but appare...
Ranger Days - SSO
Boop! This went live a few days ago rather sneakily. You can read the whole comic here:https://starstableentertainment.com/ranger-days/Drawing 8 characters (sometimes) per panel is a challenge especially when horses are involved. But.. It's not a completely unknown task to me after last year'...
YIH Chapter 12 Coverart
Hey! Hope you've been well, I finally have something to post! We've both been quite busy. Elli has posted a ton of lovely sketches for SSO and I've been bustling away working with clients. Think I've gotten past the most hectic spell and I should able to put an hour on YIH here and t...
Bluebell
Self-indulgent sketches. SSO did a hashtag ages ago for horses fans would like to see ingame. And I'm still holding my flag up for my little girl.I've posted sketches of her before but I got inspired to do more after the Gotland Russ reveal. The model is -perfect-. Not just for her but as a ...
Sketches
All SSO stuff! One of them (the watery Concorde) is from the Jorvik Divined project.
First draft - Meteor
Ok slightly cringey. I think this is the very, very first Meteor I ever drew. He's my favourite of the Guardians (after filly Concorde) and I feel like at the time I had no cluueeee what I was gonna do when it came to characterising the Guardians.So I started with this. Thank goodness this went ...
Fripp
I've posted the finished sketches of him before, but never shown the little practice sketches.His face is really challenging to draw. I had to go for something between a fox and a squirrel, since he's not really either when you take a closer look at him.
Linda
This is also from 2019! This was a practice in Linda's body type. I really like drawing her because she's quite a lot like Anna, bit rounder, cheerful and fun. So quite a lot of Anna goes into her when I'm drawing her.
Alex & Maya
From the same period (Spring 2019) as the previous post (hence the repost).Called it.>:D
SSO NPCs
These are.. Almost 2 years old sketches now. Spring 2019. From the concept folder of my very first SSO character drawings that I was requested to do.These sketches are from a time at the very beginning of my journey with SSO, which is much longer than most people know. I've not been able to shar...
Soul Riders
These I can share! This is still a WIP for a later release, but I was asked a year ago to produce images of the Soul Riders performing magic. Coloured versions of Lisa and Alex exist, but I've been saving Meteor and Anne's (and stallion Concorde) for a stream colouring session.I really wante...
Little Concorde
Because she's adorable. Something for the near future.
Warm Wishes - Part 2-3
In slightly odd paneling since I can't share the full webcomic versions just yet. The comic is 6 pages in total and the IG version's last part will go live on Tuesday. ♥
Warm Wishes - Star Stable Webcomic
Eeey! This is the thing. Or one of them. :'D I can FINALLY say something more than just hint at how busy I've been.I'm going to put these posts under $3 in the future at more higher res and explain in a bit more detail what we've been up to. They're finished pages after all but y...
Happy winter
More secrets but this one I should be able to share in full this month :'D
YIH Page 577 - Sketch/Colour
Pfh sometimes the sketches look silly, this is a prime example. At least Veeti shows a ton of sass.And that is from the last couple of pages I needed to do for Chapter 11, it's done now! Hope you'll enjoy it~What follows is a planning phase for Chapter 12. We're going back to Lapland to ...
Green
I've been painting a lot of trees and grass.
YIH Pages 578-579 Colours
Figured if I'm gonna be posting Year In Hereafter's page processes, a video format would be a great upgrade. If you've got any feedback, please, I'd be really happy to hear how to make these a nicer experience.This one includes brief breakdown descriptives. I'm untangling the kno...
The first proper ball gown he made
In Veeti's homecountry, he's taught to sew and make their traditional get-up, shirts, trousers and other essentials of the rural north. However Veeti has broadened his horizons a little beyond that.From a wee boy, he's collected magazines that show off the newest fashions from further so...
Blacksmith's steed
This clip was intended for instagram hence the odd formatting, but as usual the platform cut half of the clip off. So here's a public version of it for y'all!
In wait - Recording and Wallpaper
Not too shortly and we come at you with another wallpaper choice! :D Check it in the attachments and enjoy the drawing timelapse for it.Just for reference, the whole artwork took me about 4-5 hours from sketch to finish so I kept this very punctual. I really wanted to revisit the early themes of Yea...
【Wallpaper】Blacksmith and Ghostrider
October is nearing its end and we wanted to create something haunted to decorate your desktops: Widescreen wallpapers for 1080p and 1440p!Check the attachments to find them.It's been a while since we've been able to take the time to do an art collaboration, and this is what we came up with. ...
Flower girls
Somewhere in a far potential future.Grandad's funeral's done, I've had surgery on my arm to remove the lump and heard back from pathology to confirm no abnormalities. ♥ It's been a really weird month. September just went without much of a hello or good bye.- Elli
Just say why you're mad
Veeti and Jaakko have some personality traits that occasionally clash, and might cause upsets.
Gerrof
Request from Miikka in response to the previous sketch. x3 Needs the whole bed.
(Request) Braiding
Thanks to Margot Teunisse for suggesting "Anna braiding Sakari's hair", fell in love with it immediately~But because it's Anna and Sakari, there's always a shenanigan to be had.
The Anchor
Concepts for The Anchor. I've had a topdown drawing of this area and a really blocky 3D model in the past. But for reference purposes I wanted to have a bit more detailed version to ensure the scenes stay consistent in the comic itself.I've had a garbage week. I honestly have no other way to...
YIH Page 573 - Sketch/Colour
More of these squirrels, this time having a civil chat. I liked drawing them~
Juni
Something a bit different! I had fun with this little guy.The horse model I shared with you previously has somehow lost its textures. It's a lot of work lost so I haven't felt like continuing it. I wanted to learn to use shaders a bit better on Blender so I picked the mesh and rig up again a...
