All of the Doodles. All of Them.

It took me way too long to finally finish this, but here is the concept art for my Chromatic Dragon charms. They are two sided charms, with one side being the hatched dragon, and the other being the whole egg. I initially started this concept over a year ago, but scrapped it due to the old art not being up to par with what I want. Each dragon also has a background of either their element, or habitat (or both!). These should be for sale soon, hopefully in the next couple of weeks! They will be keychains, and I am toying with the idea of making them into cell phone charms as well. Want to see the hi-res, non-watermarked version of this piece?

So, I got a new tablet a little while ago (a Cintiq alternative by Artisul), but just now got a chance to play with it.  I figured I wanted to go back to my D&D dragon hatchling charm concept, only go with the chromatics first as they have a bigger range of colors. I love this new tablet.  I know a lot with art is dependant on skills rather that tools, but having the right tools is a very, very big help. I feel like I have stepped up in my artwork.  NOT ONLY THAT, but soon I will actually have time to sit down and do more art.  Coming up on the 11th, I start a new job that is Monday-Friday, so start expecting more artwork on the weekends! I experimented with the shading with greyscale and then adding a color mask technique thing again.  I am still kind of iffy with the technique, but I feel this time around it went far more smoothly.  There is going to be a lot of pracktice for me to get down how I do artwork now with the new tablet. I will be doing the next few dragons in the coming couple of weeks, and I will be getting some sample charms done!  I plan on this being my first kickstarter, so definitely keep an eye out for that!

Okay. So I am not a big fan of League of Legends. The style of gameplay isn't my thing. However, I absolutely lived the K/DA video, and I am a b i g sucker for all things glowy and neon. I did have plans for this to be animated, and I still do. I just do not know After Effects well enough yet to get the image to do what I want, so I figured I would at least update with wallpaper styled versions.

So, I do apologize forthe hiatus. Life had gotten hectic. Now that it seems to be calming down, I will be getting back to regularly scheduled posts! This piece started off as a warm up sketch, but I liked the sketch well enough to turn it into a full piece. I did try something new with the coloring (I shaded in greyscale and then overlayed with color) buuuuut.... I don't think I am a fan of the technique. I have gotten a little rusty and I can tell with this illustration. It was a study in color and lighting.

So I had come up for an art challenge for dragons, and the first weekly prompt was flight. I haven't had a whole lot of time to do digital art, so I opted to work with traditional markers this time around. I have mixed feelings about this piece. I struggled to get it the way I wanted, but there are a lot of parts that I am proud of as well. It was also a leson that I need to replace my markers.

So I decided to go back and revisit my concept for Lady Liadrin, and play with that, opting to illustrate the scene where M'uru sacrifices himself to reignite the Sunwell (based on the Blood Elf quote "The eternal sun guides us"). I am really, really happy with how this came out, even though I can see some issues with some areas (Despite my best in trying to get M'uru to not seem so flat while being a being of literal light).   I opted to add in the loss free PNG as well, as the animation tend to lose color when I have to save it as a GIF.

I hope you will be willing to participate in this! Let’s get some dragons out there!

I had a hard time coming up with an idea for this weeks theme.  I didn't really have much of anything planned.  I knew that I wanted to eventually do a pic of Fenris and animating his lyrium glowing.  I eventually came up with the idea to combine that idea with these weeks theme, adding in Hawke's ribbon if you end up romancing Fenris. I am not quite as happy with this as I was with my Legend of Zelda piece.  I had a very hard time trying to get his lyrium even colored right, let alone glowing properly for the animated version.

Just some notes I took to help me figure out feet. Not perfect but they helped me break them down and figure them out. I hope this helps others!

This piece also has a timelapse of my illustrating it (sans animation), which will be up in the next day or so after I am done editing it.  If you are interested in that, be sure to become one of my 20$+ Patrons today! 

I am still not sure this entirely counts as an elf, as Tel'Arn took his job a bit seriously and made himself into a plant person, but he was a Nightborne Elf first, and he still holds the traits has a nightborn. I actually did a bit of experimenting with this and allowed some form of linework in this. I am actually really, really happy with how this turned out (though his sun orb I may have given up on.) I think I may start steering away from completely linel ess work and find some sort of happy medium between lineless and linework. "Suramar owes its beauty to my blooms!

I am late with last weeks Elfuary, due to the fact that I had an 8 day work week and finally had a day off to work on this. I don't know how to feel about this, but I can see where I am starting to improve at least, so there is that. I wanted to do Fenris fighting off any bounty hunters/slavers for last weeks elfuary, and while I feel like I did't do him justice, I had a lot of fun painting him.

Something I have been working on for a while to create a piece in reference to Ysera's death and ascension by Elune.  I had done a sketch for this on my phone a little while ago, and went ahead and did the finalized version today.  The linework for this was a bit harder than I thought it was going to be, and I definitely had difficulty actually getting it to look the way I wanted it to.  I am super happy with the night sky, however.  I may go back and redo this, but I really wanted to do a piece that focused more on her actual constellation.
