Groffer's Lair

Been working on a huge project for a while. This is only a part of it. This can be used as a twitter banner or a tumblr banner. Feel free to like / share / use, just as long as you give me credit :)

All finished! Had fun with the monochromatic tones with touches of teal and crimson :) Hope you like!

Sorry not sorry JJ, couldn't help myself.

Inner monologue of Su Muyu be like:

So happy Gong Jun is going to be in The Tales of Dark River as Su Muyu. The man deserves it. God he's so pretty.

Anyways, wip now because my muse wouldn't shut up, so I had to draw him doing black/white scale with hints of color. Hope you like. This is the result of this morning's Discord Stream. Hope to work more on him in the next few days.

So, on discord my friends and I discussed this, and have decided that Fan Xian is going to be a water dragon prince because of mermay. He is now finished. Hope you like him. I FINALLY learned how to use textures on Krita (fml for the past 6 years of digital arting). And boy does it make a difference! I am loving the textures. I also learned quite a bit on the prior Wen Kexing commission I did for a friend, so it's nice to see improvements. One of the things that we have to deal with as artists is a huge slump that can drag on for months, possibly years, and then bam something finally inspires us again and we have a burst of learning and flailing and growth. But, it takes time. And it's sooooo frustrating, but at the same time, we can't rush it. So, I count this as a win. Bless Joy of Life Season 2, and bless Zhang Ruoyun for finally putting that spark into my arting again (for however long it lasts).

Well, we are getting there. Product of tonight's discord stream. Still a wip, but there is progress :) And yes, groff had to turn him into a dragon lmao.

Finally got some art juices flowing in me, thanks to Joy of Life 2 and also to Zhang Ruoyun who is so pretty and babygirl in this season.

And of course, it wouldn't be me if I didn't turn Fan Xian into a cyborg or a dragon or both... we shall see :)

I was making so many of these that the reblogging thread idea wasn't working too well, so we will just have them separated by longer posts with more memes to a post. Let's start with HeiHua. I love them so much. These are all from Reunion 2 - Mystery of the Abyss.

Starting to make some DMBJ memes because I have recently gone down the rabbit hole of the books and the series' & movies. Hope you guys enjoy. I'll attempt to keep it to one reblog thread, but we shall see. Feel free to reblog / share. ~ groff

Let's start with Xie Yuchen / Xiao Hua from Sand Sea.
