Khavijas Baths
A simplified ink version of the baths sketch. I'm debating if I'll simply do a colour illustration treatment to this, or turn it into a full painting.Either way, Ajaatu and Keelahi enjoying the hot springs-fed baths of their wintery clan home. I was thinking of maybe making this a dusk pictu...
January Patron Illustration.
I was finally able to sit and finish projects again for the first time this month, and the first on the list to be finished was January's Patron Illustration.This time around its an image of Vēž stopping over at 'Beep Boop FOOD' to get a quick bite and drink before heading to training....
Hemoglobe-trotting
There's a certain cold feeling that goes through you when you ask a parent who, normally, is pretty stoic and tough if they're okay, and you are met with a head-shake, and an exhausted few breaths.My father had to go to the ER on Friday night. I won't go into all of the details, but his ...
Slightly more arf.
I don't normally post revisions in sketches until they're in the inking stage, but this one was fairly large. I ended up removing the wall and decided to make it an open air scene in the background instead. It'll be a snowy sort of day, nice enough to settle into the onsen style baths th...
Khavijas Baths - Rough sketch.
Another rough work of an idea that hit me today. Bath's at one of the Khavijas settlements in the Aegencald.Trying to remember how to draw wolves again. Its been a while o.o-T.J.
Party goat.
Still getting used to some of the tools in the art program. Things got reset so I'm learning to use the defaults until I can go back in and tweak things.I was waffling for ideas, so this goat with fluffy eyes volunteered to be drawn. Headbutt U.Go fighting lawnmowers.-T.J.
Sarky Bones - Rough sketch
I'm going to try and do a few more 'show your work' posts like this.I realize I have a habit of only posting compositions when all the backgrounds are done, or when the linework is final enough for me to start inking things over. But a lot of 'idea' drawings tend to not get poste...
Road Home - Sketch.
I recently finally upgraded my production box after 12 years. USB ports and an ethernet port began failing on the 'auldr Dragon' as I called it, and it was showing signs that it wasn't going to last. Thus it put a delay on getting work done as I had to reinstall everything, get everythin...
Hullo Sammich - 300dpi
More dots. More crumbs.
Hullo Sammich - Final
"Hullo sammich. Are you ready to be rawred? 'Cuz dragons rawr, and sammiches are on the menu. Prepare to be rawred with alacrity and finality."I had hope to have this done earlier but life has been throwing a continuous stream of curve-balls at me as of late. It was nice to at least get ...
Hullo Sammich - 300dpi inkwash.
The version with more dots.
Hullo Sammich - Inkwash
The colour flats for the 'hullo Sammich' image. Not everything is colour-balanced yet, and I've put in only the basic shadows and light sources just to figure out a general look for the picture.Soot's colour scheme took ages to figure out. I knew 'purple' was a major factor, ...
The Depths (Patron Sketch)
I was given kind permission to share November's patron sketch. I believe this is the first under water/sea character I've ever drawn (not counting pirates or maybe a skeleton or two under the water).As they're a new character, they're yet un-named, but I really liked the concept. It ...
Hullow Sammich - Inks
I had chance to sit and finish the inks that I started just over a week ago for this. Simplified inks, since I'll be doing colours.I have inks for November's patron sketch to finish next, and then one last set of inks before I start doing a lot of painting.And probably muttering Bob Ross thi...
Some news for this month.
I'm usually loathe to talk about life-issues in an online forum. Everyone has different things going on in their lives that aren't shared online because part of being an adult is dealing with things as they come on their own.However, because this current life situation is going to have an im...
Hullow Sammich - Sketch
A few days ago I had a strong sense of nostalgia hit me that implanted a character into my consciousness whom I haven't thought about since I was probably maybe six or seven years old.The nostalgic spark also reminded me of why, in my formative years, I was drawn more and more to fantasy as a ge...
Me Nerves are too Short for Me Body.
I'm finally starting to get back on track when it comes to answering e-mails and comments, and more importantly doing art again.I had a sciatic nerve pinch for the last 6 days that was a wonderland of not being able to stand, sit, or lay down without an impressive amount of pain. And given that ...
Berrand Concepts
I've started doing more concept work for the whole comic idea I've been batting around, and decided I wanted to try and iterate on what the hell Berrand's design for it would be. This is the third sheet that seemed to be the one that worked for him, though I still have to figure out his ...
Ellythistle colour
This wasn't meant to be a very detailed or over-worked colour piece since it was just done as an 'NPC portrait' for the game I'm running, but I figured I'd share it here anyway. I hope everyone is okay.-T.J.
Emergency goat.
I know the last couple days have been a stressful time for a lot of folks. Please accept this emergency goat.-T.J.(Note: I'll be answering back replies over the next few days. I had to take some time off. My apologies).
Fallen Justiciar
"The creature rose from it's blasphemous prayer as if an invisible hand pulled it from it's scruff to unwillingly stand, and with uneasy creaks of armor older than any of us it turned with a seething countenance behind it's empty sockets.It's skull was held aloft by tendrils of e...
Ellythistle Fenn - Smol Halloween
First, wow, lots of good feedback on the 'Price Check' post previously. I'll be going through tonight and see which route I want to go. I'm still struggling a bit for time, but I think doing a commission or two over the next while can be possible.This is a bit of a personal project p...
The Price Check
I've been thinking of taking on commissions for a couple years now, which always tended to get thwarted due to life situations that come up, and a sudden drop in free time. This year wasn't an exception, but after some rather fun pet-expenses suddenly cropped up, its looking more likely that...
Tiny Brew
I wanted to draw something oddly 'cartoony' and still 'spook' themed. This time around, Ellys (even more tiny than usual) brewing up.. something, with the assistance of Jenliita Donkadoodle, her faithful donk.I'll be sending out the notification to the next person on the sketch l...
Pumpkins are the focus of every picture.
Pumpkins, the most important part of every picture they are featured in.I haven't got a clue what possessed me to sketch this out (It's likely Brambles, the pumpkin haunt did). I wanted to try a picture with a bit more of a dynamic angle than I've been drawing lately, and while I've ...
It Begins (Repost - brighter 300dpi)
Now with more dots, and Crelm (tm) brightening power.
It Begins (Repost - With better colour balance)
In the last image that I posted, there was something that was kind of driving me crazy about it. I found that while the colours were okay, the balance felt 'muddy'. Its hard to explain without nerding out about 'levels' and 'curves' too much, but the darker parts of the image...
It Begins (300dpi)
The version with more pixels.
It Begins (final)
The painting that never ended.I finally just had to call this one done. There's a million things I probably want to fix and tweak but this has now taken me around a month to get to this point. It was so long, in fact, it was started when the leaves were just turning, either at the end of August,...
Acorns, Then and Now (September Patron Sketch)
This post has a fair bit more history than a lot of the art I put up here. It also comes with a quote from the squirrel herself (Written by September's Sketch recipient, Mr. Rancourt).The character, Amanda, dates decades back to 1996, just after I dropped the moniker 'Ravenwolf' and star...
