Brief update
Some extra family health issues have cropped up that, frankly, have left me in a pretty rough mental space for the last 8 or 9 days now. As such, as much as I hate missing deadlines, I have to delay the next monthly patron sketch for August. I hate missing these. I've only missed two (I think) i...
Welcome Home - Inks (300dpi)
300dpi version.
Welcome Home - Inks (nsfw, mild nudity)
Berrand, Sherdaylyn, Cinders.
Safe Rest - Sketch
The 'lonely gnome' returns, this time with a companion traveler, the pair having wandered from the road up a path to a nearby farm, hoping to find at least a safe fenced in area to sleep as a storm approaches.The gnome reads notches and crude runes carved into the gatepost, left by other tra...
Records of Sorrow - Sketch
The great halls and churches held records of Vicorria's grandest achievements, from the incense soaked heralds of the Bannered Conquest, to the Wax halls of the arcane ley-lines that presaged the aberration-laced time of madness.Held within the black slabbed walls that were foretold to stand for...
Welcome Home (sketch)
A preview sketch of the next painting on schedule.I'll be a little quiet for the next little while (will still post, but might not be doing a lot of social media/etc). A family medical thing has come up, and there's some scrambling.-T.J.
Arctic Springs
I was kindly allowed to share this image with folks here on Patreon by July's sketch recipient, and had a lot of fun just drawing a wolf again. Though I'm thinking of not calling these 'sketches' anymore when I realize that they're finished inks.I was given much free reign with t...
Tiny Little Trees.
A map of a place called 'Steipel Cen Cargast' off of the western shores of Valhaadrune, near a river-spanning town called Crowsbury. I know maps aren't everyone's bag, but I figured I'd include them here for those interested since I do these for a game I'm running anyway.-T.J...
Springs in the Snow
I was given kind permission by July's sketch-patron to post the roughs of the sketch I'm currently working on. The first was more a rough idea that gave way to the second one, which will be inked and finalized.I'm always quite happy to draw wolves in onsen-settings. Especially if it also...
The Big World - Sketch
Patreon has a new 'multiple images' thing now that I'm trying out. If it looks weird or crazy I'll go back to the old format.Image was done as a warmup sketch this afternoon. The world feels pretty big when you are a gnome, first level, and a wizard alone on the road...And you don...
The RMA Tango
I wanted to post a heads up to patrons that I'll be slightly slow for the next couple of days, and that painting work will have to stop for some time. I just had my work-laptop have a pretty big failure, which means its likely going to have to do some travelling to whatever facility they send th...
Goat Conversations - 300dpi
More maa. More pixels.
Goat Conversations - Final
"Maaa!"Oh, I see! How exciting""Maah!""Then what happened?""Maa! AAaaa!""Oh my! I hope everyone was all right?""MaaAAaah!""That's good. I'll be sure to bring them a very small pie and check up on them.""Mah!""No. You may...
The Baa Conversation - Process
Just a process post for now, the light-blocking/shading worked out fairly well I think. I like the whole cell-shaded animation feel it has, still, so I figured I'd post the process image before I get down to the long painting process.I'm still writing things as well, while I haven't done...
The Baa Converation - Flat colours
A quick update to share the flat colour of the painting I'm working on. I don't know why, but I liked it enough to share. Maybe it just reminds me a little of the 'Over the Garden Wall' show in terms of palette.Should have another sketch (This time with wolves) to share in the next f...
Goat Stories - Inks (300dpi)
high res version of inks.
Goat Stories - Inks
Perhaps a bit repetitive, but this time around the cleaned up inks before I start putting in colour.I got rid of the railing on the stairs as I found it more distracting than anything.
Goat Conversations - Process Sketch 300dpi
More pixels equals more baa!
Goat Conversations - Process Sketch
The last doodle that I posted wasn't supposed to turn into a full picture, but there was something about Cinders' smile that made me want to flesh it out more. She seemed happy, so the least I could do is let her finish her conversation with her lil' goat friend.I'll be working on pa...
Back in action
Just a little heads up that I'm finally up and able to do art stuff again. Ignore the really rough title-image, I just wanted something derpy/cheery to put there.This cold wrecked me for a good three days, but I've finally had an actual full night of sleep. Outside of catching up with the &#...
Couple Days Sick Leave
Hey all. Just a note confirming that I'll be letting the next person on the patron sketch list know they have a sketch coming in the next week.I might be delayed in starting it though, as I've picked up a rather vicious cold that's causing some periods of freezing and really painful cram...
Khivesk Citizens concepts
This time around its the full set of some of the concepts I'm roughing out for the citizens of Khivesk. The small port city plays a pretty important role in the story of Cinders (as well as Berrand, Amathos and a bunch of others). Its a hub with a fairly ancient history dating back to before the...
Sketch Concepts - Khavijas
Part of a larger concept thing I'm working on detailing out citizens of Kivesk, a town comprising primarily of human and Javarran people. I liked these two enough to share the larger version of them though.
Patron Sketch - May
With some of the family stuff that came up about six weeks ago I was waylaid in getting the patron's sketch for May under way (April, sadly, had to be a missed month as time was in such short supply). However I did finally get to do some concepts and inks, as May's sketch was donated to have...
Concepts - Worldbuilding Sketches 1
I'm going to be doing a lot of concept sketches (in addition to the paintings, of course) trying to get in gear for the comic/graphic novel thing that follows Cinders' story.While I know about each event that happens in their journey, I actually have never sat and sketched out parts of the w...
Sketch flood
After the last couple of weeks I found I needed to start doing small sketches again to get the cobwebs out of the machine so to speak. I was greatly rusty, and still feel that I am as the sketches were absurdly rough this time around.I also needed something almost ridiculously happy/pleasant to draw...
The Wildfires Chapter
Just wanted to post a short update on some things going on lately, and why I've been taking a while to get back to people.My father tripped and had an injury about a week ago. He is, for the greater part, doing okay, and able to move around with some difficulty. However 'just a little bump a...
BeEeeeEeEEEes.
Just a little warmup comic, getting used to some of the tools I forgot existed like font managers and 'word baloons' in CSP.Cinders had a little too much coffee that morning. Berrand, confused, still thinks she's the sunlight in his day.-T.J.
A New Territory of Old Terrain.
I was doing some warm-up sketching (Which will be posted in short order once I can sit still again) that involved a goofy comic with Cinders and Berrand (which also will be posted soon). A thought hit me as I was drawing both of them, however.I have so much story and material on the pair of them, ye...
Sketches (Goblin edition)
I was supremely exhausted today, and ended up just wanting to draw slightly goofy things. I apologize for how rough this sketch turned out though. It was mainly just a vehicle to get some ideas on goblin-ish looks and culture out of my head. I haven't really worked much on this race that skitter...
