I've heard a few queries as to whether I want to paintings again.

Short answer: Busy upgrading my sound equipment so you can actually hear me speak.

Long answer: Toss your Art Livestream preferences my way using this poll!

So in case anyone was unclear on why I was studying random disembodied parts of -real- humans, it's to get better at painting -imaginary- humans

Pretty pleased with progress so far, but there's still so much left to learn!

I did a small series on borked fantasy tropes at one point. Here is the first one.

"The reverse mermaid tries to warn sailors away from dangerous rocky shores, but alas, the sailors are compelled to sail closer by the reverse mermaid's supple legs"

Hello new followers! I have been busy and not as Mastodon-y as I like lately. Where did you come from? I'm open to becoming friends

I've been reading Banquet (www.banquetcomic.com) by A. Szabla (@Aszabla on Twitter) and I'm in love with how the hellhounds were designed! I couldn't help but paint one.

Go read it now!!

Trying to nail down Warlock'd's title typography. I'm happiest with the top one, but I don't like that I used a buttmetal-themed font to make it. I may use the top one as a framework for hand-drawing embellishments.

Ahh thank you so much to everyone for responding to this so kindly... I received some lovely feedback and have fixed some issues on the horse's face.

Flight Rising Fanart for Astarael! This was a contest prize of a scene featuring up to three dragons. The prompt featured two dragons who regularly scoop up orphan hatchlings and give them a family.

Progress on a character turnaround for one Monsieur Pierre...and a redesign of his outfit for the Sky of Brass story. Decided he'd favor bulkier, manlier clothes over the previous tunic I gave him

Hiatus update: Taking one more week to build my buffer. Updates will be 3x per week, with two OC posts (some sketches, some full illos) and one fanart every Friday.

So that's mouths! Will take a break for two weeks in light of WorldCon coming up. Then I will be drawing my OCs for awhile, and studying random things.

I developed a 'stubble' brush just to get the texture right, hehe

I liked the mingling of the lighting with the facial hair texture in the shadows, something to keep in mind if I develop a character who has this kind of facial hair

The shape of this mouth reminds me of the letter 'A'
