Blur of green and gold.
"Zoom""What was that?""That was September, mate.""Oh, that was quick, do I get another one?""Sorry mate, no.""...Back to the land of dreams."Honestly, that blurb from Fawlty Towers is fitting. I remember distinctly asking where August had gone in what ...
It Begins - 300dpi progress shot
The version with more dots.
It Begins - First colour pass
Just a little progress shot of the first colour pass and very basic shadows. I'm still a couple days behind but working at it as much as I can.On the kitty front, it looks like she has pancreatitis now. Treatable, but its likely to slowly get worse over the years. She still has an ultrasound to ...
Respite Rowe - Sketch
This is probably the last full rough sketch I'll be able to do this month. I'm a little bit behind on the painting due to one of my cats needing a visit to the emergency vet clinic on Sunday. So the last three days have kind of been chaos.I'm not too sure what brought this picture on, ot...
It Begins - Inks (300dpi)
More dots means more leafs.-T.J.
It Begins - Inks
Finished the preliminary inks and clean-up for the painting process on this one. Next will be figuring out the colour scheme and lighting, which takes a bit of time for sure. Its been pretty nice fall weather here for the last few days, and leaves are falling more frequently.I think I need to buy mo...
Sketch Days
Despite a pretty busy morning running around a supermarket pretending to be a ninja (Masked up, avoiding being witnessed by people and hiding on one of the shelves if they tried to pass me in the aisle), I managed to sketch a bunch.I wanted to draw Chime again, this time presenting Cinders with a te...
Eldr Yr - Patron Sketch
An inked image done for last month's patron sketch. I was asked to sketch a she-wolf (Wolfmoonie!) in Norse attire. I decided to put on the last Heilung album and rummage the rather huge library of Norse/Icelandic/Faroe images I had stocked away, and went slightly mad with the detail. I couldn&#...
August off to the moon.
I literally wonder where the month left. I remember a blur of dismally hot days, dismally rainy days, joy at seeing the first hint of leaves on the ground, and appointments.So very many appointments.The post today is just kind of a 'bonus' thing for the end of the month. A map (done in Inkar...
Before War, and re-worked 'It Begins' sketch
In working on the next batch of concepts for this month's Patron Sketch I also ended up going back to the last image I had posted here - The 'It Begins' image because there were parts of it that were really bothering me.The biggest problem I had was the pose of the Lorrnath on the right ...
It Begins - (sketchwork)
I've been getting back into walking after realizing I've put on a good 10 pounds during this whole quarantine thing. While out today I've realized that more and more little yellow leaves are appearing on the ground each day, and some trees and bushes are just starting their slow descent ...
Valshiira - Quick Paint
Just a quick update this time around. I'm doing a bit of practice colour again after a while away from it. I wanted to do a kind of 'sketchy' attempt at it akin to concept art and figured I'd do so with Valshiira, a Tribal Lorrnathi from the north-mountain region of their home.Not mu...
Draaaaanks! (sketch)
"Wha-hey-hey! You lads see the status of these drinks? 'ere as big as my head!""I see she found the bar.""Seems like.""Hah, wanna bet a crown we find 'er in a tree later?""A tree? Haha! If yer lucky. She been eyein' you since Laon Zhan. Yer gettin'...
Hearthbourne Respite (Patron Sketch, Nudity)
I was struck with a pretty severe creative block in the middle of sketching out last month's patron sketch. It was bad enough that there was a delay of at least a couple weeks at least, and even personal projects (outside the mapping) were just not coming out looking even half-way decent at all....
Bee Floaties (sketch)
The weather continues to be impressively hot and humid here. I've started doing work in the early hours of the mornings now (3am), and while it's still fairly humid the heat goes down by a good ten degrees.Inspired to sketch this between inking last month's patron sketch and another proj...
The Dotty Bits
Now that I've been able to get at least a working map of one of the larger parts of the world created after about 25 years, I've been starting to plug my notes into the 'Matrix' in a manner of speaking.I've been using an app called 'Legendkeeper' to slowly begin the monum...
Valhaadrune (so far)
"The clarion call of the heavens waged ruin upon the rotten host.Their shrapnel lay verdant and sprawled across the landscape.And the calming cadence of the mother's heartbeat thrummed throughout.A lullaby, a song, a psalm to those weary children who had bore so much.Until sleep overtook, an...
Wiggle-baa (Nudity warning, sketch)
There's a certain serenity, watching Cinders dance-exercise her goat."Wiggle, and baa, wigglewiggle baa-baa, and swish an' baa, swish n' swish n' baa-baa"I've been struggling with getting anything to look right lately. I default to doing simple nudes and anatomical drawin...
Wolves 300dpi
The 300dpi version of the wolves sketch.-T.J.
Wolves
Admittedly a random picture with characters I don't know. I don't think the image is really going anywhere, but it was good practice to keep linework loose.Khavijas culture tends to see women being more forward, just as often being the ones to get chummy with their fellow hunters as the men ...
Ellys Fenn Reference
Its been a rough start trying to stay creative. The 'hide in the house' days are definitely starting to weigh more and more on the depression, and trying to do anything creative in that fog has been enormously difficult.While this is the second try at this image, it was one of those 'don...
Valhaadrune (preview)
Just a small glimpse of a rather large map of the world I'm working on. Normally I don't show 'sketchwork' of these kinds of things, but I figured I'd give a glimpse into what I had in mind for getting some world geography down.None of the other continental maps will be as large ...
Sales Tax Reminder and other ramblings.
Hey all,A reminder that sales tax for your respective regions will be added from this point going forward, automatically added by Patreon. As far as I can tell things on my end are set though I expect to take a bit of a hit.That said, the next note has been sent out to the next person on the Patron ...
A New Frand - Patron Sketch (May)
'When your squirrel companion is a bit of a jerk, you tend to gain unexpected visitors'.I was given the opportunity to try my hand at drawing an anthro-Deer in a fantasy/outdoor setting and had a lot of learning to do as to how deer antlers worked. In the end I had to find front and side and...
Trail - Sketch
The local's don't like strangers, it seems.I went from weeks of not really being able to think or draw anything to bashing this out in a couple of days. I finally was afforded a break in the immensely stressful family-health events that were going on and while the health front seems okay for...
Tired - 300dpi version.
300dpi.
Tired - colours
I've been gutted the last few weeks with world events the way they are. Sometimes it seeps over into the lives of those folks living in the cavernous depths of my skull. Cinders just.. wants to go home, and hide, and read something.I didn't want to turn this into a full painting, electing to...
Tired (sketch)
Just a random, rough sketch of Cinders being tired.We all are, Cinders. We all are.-T.J.
Sentinel of Wells inks - 300dpi
More pixels means gnomes and khettu are still smol.
The Sentinel of Wells - Inks
Inks of an earlier sketch featuring Ellys Fenn, gnome explorer, and her khettu companion Ruadhán at the Sentinel of Wells. Much of the places and things they explore are on the deeper, darker, and very forgotten depths and vistas of the world. Places featuring strange 'Lewis Carroll-esque' ...
