More art, I've been busy not studying today, hooray! At least I've cleaned the office and cleared 1.5 owed arts off my list. ALSO a little while ago I resolved to enter at least one competition a month and hey I'm totally doing it so far! I didn't think it would hold but I've entered three in the last two months, woo.




Aaawright, three ATCs for lemurkat:









Work In Progress on that competition entry from last month ahaha. I think I'm going in the right direction colour-wise but we'll see if I don't overdo it.



Yay it's Halloween time in Guild Wars (and, er, elsewhere). omg I feel so guilty about the progressively terrible inking on this thing. I TOTALLY APOLOGISE (but I am not fixing it). I'm hoping to score an honourable mention or something maybe 'cause I just want a set of skill pins and every prize pack includes them! Cooome ooooon lowest place, let's go.




Yes, that's right, no DnD sketches for once. Craziness!

Does anyone else hate PITT artist pens? God I hate them. I mean, I love them, for about the first ten minutes of inking and then the tips break down like the absolute mofos they are and I am filled with this hideous rage toward Faber Castell for manufacturing such a cruelly short-lived product. GRUAOARRGH.

So, what's up, peeps?

Art as promised. I am not like politicians! I deliver on my promises sometimes! Having said that I still owe...7 people art. I think. I hope! It better not be more than that, far out. Plus a couple sketch meme things I have to do/finish. Nnggg.





Lilly Clarentine, ship's quatermaster, doing something or other with rope. Apparently I never posted this but it's a few months old. Huh. Maybe I was keeping it for something?


Getting a hang on a friend's DnD character. The character promptly died a horrible death, I don't know why I bother sometimes.


I guess all these DnD characters is good practice. Inbetween getting a feel for different characters, trying to be creative with armour/clothing and trying to keep up with players' requests/whims, hey, I am probably learning something!


The dragon dude is my character, ,Paragon Paladine (rofl). We made the jump to DnD4 rules so of course the first thing I did was make a character from the most inhuman race available. He can breathe fire!

My favourite thing about the dragonkin is probably this one line of their race description in the DND4 rulebook. "Play a Dragonkin if you want to ...look like a dragon!" WOW REALLY???


Okay, something that is not DnD! BUT still roleplaying games, ahaha. A preliminary sketch/concept for a painting of one of my Guild Wars characters. It's meant to be really dark and gorey, pools of blood, that sort of thing. A bit of a departure from my usual.

I've got a super cute a shiny idea for a GW character portrait partly sketched out too so it balances. :P


Monsters, yay. That little kappa dude is pretty cute, I think I'll do something with him in future.




IRLs I totally bought 18 drinking glasses for $5 yesterday! Hot deal! I think I'll go back and get some more some time during the week. Gonna get in on that hot glass etching action, as soon as I can get some etching cream. Apparently some Australian legislation was passed that makes it difficult to get (some brands?) here and also it's a hazardous material and technically shouldn't be sent through Auspost. What a pain!
