Fighter Jet Date – Art Process

by | Mar 17, 2021 | , ,

I’m discovering a ton of footage I lost the past couple of weeks, including some old art recordings and footage from Orcs Must Die: Unchained. So those are queued pronto, as they’ve been sitting longer.

One week in September, I got quite moody after doing a few pieces of art. Mainly, hearing some people where I live talk about how “they hated flying” and didn’t want to go anywhere near an airplane with utter disdain. I guess when I took to my tablet that night, I wanted to show people who loved those things, envision who I’d be looking for in the future partner-wise, and backdrop that with a bit of sci-fi flavor. I even had the sidekick don the esteemed Azure Empyrea, which the cockpit did not do it justice.

There is a half-sketched prequel to this piece; I’ll share whenever I finish.

You can see the original piece here!

CoC Ellowwood – Milestone Art #1

by | Mar 16, 2021 | , ,

So when I run my Call of Cthulhu Ellowwood flavored game, I often try to make artwork and such for the guys. They hit a milestone in which one of their original group had to leave (they had a new job IRL), and had a small respite after beating their objective of a major plot boss. This is all who survived at one of the player’s farm, with their NPC sidekick Caroline. I have a replacement lined up for them thankfully, and they’ll engage in main quest lines once they get a new player. So only time will tell.

I need to start drawing full scenes like this more often. Still evolving with the way I draw, but since January have been losing the will to actually doodle things. Hopefully it’s seasonal.

Ancient Legends – River Crossing

by | Mar 7, 2021 | , ,

One of the last bits of art from my first tabletop campaign. I actually did start this sometime in December of 2019, but with pandemic, the group quitting their play sessions and such, I never got around to finishing it. This night was the exception; while on voice chat with the ninja rogue from that same group, I worked on finally finishing this.

.

The journey’s been long over and it’s an interesting place to be 1 and some years later, but happy hunting, wherever your adventures will take you.

Ki’voosh Art Dump – Art Process

by | Feb 24, 2021 | , ,

I’m discovering a ton of footage I lost the past couple of weeks, including some old art recordings and footage from Orcs Must Die: Unchained. So those are queued pronto, as they’ve been sitting longer.

When I met my online buddy Wayc, I had created him a Kashri OC for him to use with stories, etc. In 2019 we had cooked up this sort of spoof of a zany 50’s story akin to the classic The Blob, so I was starting to do some artwork for him in a dump for inspiration. I had done more than these two figures, but these were the ones I supposedly decided to get footage of.

While that was for him and is not for public sharing, I can share the footage of what I’ve done at least!

We’ve Come to Get You – Art Process

by | Feb 3, 2021 | , ,

I think this was my magna opus piece for 2020. Did this out one evening in fall, and had “MAGIC” on loop while I finished it. I partially had this prompted from something over at r/ICanDrawThat, but it evolved into this sort of positive, hopeful thing that someone was there for you. So please enjoy.

Nina, Bernie & Mr. Computer

by | Feb 2, 2021 | , ,

This is fanart for a series of old, educational videos from the 90s; dubbed the Assistant Professor: Trip to the Inner/Outer Planets. I recently rediscovered these through a listing on eBay, which was the old VHS of the outer Planets episode.
.

From a comment of a friend, I actually found that the original company was around, and I reached out to them about the show. A guy wrote back stating his daughter voiced the Nina character, and the head animator of the show voiced the computer. It was an interesting exchange, never thinking I’d even talk to the people behind it.
.

I did this little fanart as appreciation in my response back. I never heard back from them, so I hope you guys enjoy the effort of this partial lost show. I’ve linked an Amazon link here of the listing to help you track it down if you like.

DnD Commission – u/TheKingTortoise

by | Dec 24, 2020 | ,

This was a commission I did for u/TheKingTortoise, of him and his brother’s DnD characters (half-elf barbarian, dwarf fighter). They have a group of goblins that go around with him, sort of like kids to my understanding. This was real fun to do, and glad to have made a Christmas gift for someone’s holiday.

 

Feel free to reach out to me for a commission if you fancy something like this yourself!

Your Ride is Ready for You

by | Nov 27, 2020 | ,

I put this together this week. I’ve been wanting to show how my Notikan race functions in a more normal environment, rather than “just standing up and being popey”, to quote an online buddy. This was a result of that, showing one greeting a pilot to his vehicle, having the role of a technician or sorts.

 

Thanks to @elucidator_arts for the figure lineart.

Vigilance Reboot – WIP NanoWrimo Cover

by | Nov 2, 2020 | ,

For 2020’s NanoWrimo reboot, I decided to reboot my old Vigilance series, which is the first story I had ever made the 50K requirement for. I wanted a nice thumb to convey what I was going for when someone visited the page, so I accomplished that, at least!

 

Here you have the protagonist’s two love interests, along with a shot of the aerial battleship the story revolves around. And since this takes place in the Bermuda Triangle, beach and ocean was appropriate.

 

If and when I do publish, it’ll have a more professionally done cover. Just something to give a visual representation as I work on it in the meantime.

Vigilance – NanoWrimo Karaoke Night Poster

by | Oct 20, 2020 | ,

For NaNoWriMo this year, I’m rebooting my Vigilance setting, which was the first story I got my 50K word award in 2008. I’m not sure if I’ll reach the goal this year, but I have a pretty cool idea where to take it, and have a couple outlines done. I put this together from a sketch a week back, as an event that might happen in-universe! I think I need to actually do some proper art 12 years later on the setting, especially now that I at least use a tablet.

 

And while I was drawing this, did have this on loop for a few times. It certainly helped with the mood, and probably had an effect on the final product.
