Is this Albi?

“It is easy to mistake a castle servant for a noble because of the way they dress and behave. They are treated with respect, but the slightest mistake can cost them their lives. This may be the reason why Amber Castle is the safest place in the Northern Region.”

I miss telling stories. I used to DM for a small group of friends… years ago. The players eventually lost interest. Maybe it were organisation problems, maybe the novelty effect wore off, maybe I lead the story badly, who knows.

This is my last charcoal sketch on a transparent paper. I traced the contours with 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 mm felt tip liners. I was considering getting a nib holder with different nibs and pretty ink, but decided against it at least until I can try ink I have on the new paper.

I absolutely forgot about this blog! Sorry, I never had any followers or friends here, so I naturally visit Tumblr rarely. But wonderful people mentioned me on their Artfight attacks here and I missed it! 😭

So here’s all my Artfight attacks this year (as if I’m not participating in Artfight for the first time). I’ll reblog attacks on me as well and later upload other drawings.

A while ago, I saw online a red and blue pencil from Faber-Castell that I really liked and immediately wanted to get me one of those. Turns out, it was the best purchase in a while. At the time of writing, it is more or less one third of its original length — never before I went so quickly through one medium.

I wanted to resurrect this blog a while ago and even started posting old art, but the pile was too big, and I eventually crumbled under its weight.

So I’ll post a few highlights and then try to keep this place up-to-date and actually worthy of following. I promise, it has nothing to do with Twitter.
