Twice Saved, Forever Damned

My newest dnd character.

His name is Alakzen, a Drow Bard of the college of Glamour. He has the Feylost background and the markings on his face (and other parts of his body) are not makeup but sparkle like silver glitter.

He can play instruments but his voice is what he uses for his magic.

He's not unkind but he is a hedonist and can be a tad bit self centered. He's also perfectly aware of how beautiful of a man he is and the effect he can have on others.

Working on coloring a small backlog of linearts I had finished.

This here is Drake Rudiger, a vampire OC from “Anomalous” who belongs to @brandytusk

And I did something I’ve never really done before and recorded the coloring process for fun (minus a small bit for the initial skin highlights because I didn’t realize at the start that the hotkey for pausing the recording was also one I use in Gimp. Oops)

Continuing to work on improving my portrait drawing skills.

This time with my favorite personal OC, Jaiden Goldson.

Jaiden is a 1000 year old vampire protagonist from my "Anomalous" RP Universe...and the base character that I like to translate into pretty much every roleplay world I play in heh.

Even my BG3 character, Ariat, stems from this guy.

Oh! I also finally got the eye reflection to look right! I've tried to draw this guy several times in this same way and always felt like I was missing it somehow, but this time it looks right!

and here's the uncolored version, for fun, as well as the previous two versions of this pic for art improvement comparison sake

I’ve been highly unsatisfied with my art since I switched to digital media (I have hand stability issues that led to me losing the ability to handle a pencil or stylus so my art is made using a mouse now). After practicing some techniques with stabilizers I’ve begun to return my art to the more sketchy line work I’m used to and very much missed. Also much finer lines.

Added bonus here are the various stages of coloring

Colored version of the art I made for my Dark Urge character, Ariat, from Baldur's Gate 3.

Ariat (elven meaning "Gold Fire") is a Half-Gold Elven Sorcerer (Gold Draconic Bloodline) featured in my fanfic "We get To Choose"

(always click on the art for proper resolution)

For a long time now I've just been so disappointed with my art. It's just been feeling so lackluster and boring even if it's good in a technical sense, it just felt bleh to me. Like all the spirit was out of it.

I just wanted really badly to try and revisit my old traditional style in digital media and I kind of angrily went at an empty canvas with just plane old black paintbrush.

I am in love with how it turned out and it's just a huge breath of fresh air as an increasingly disabled artist who has been losing their ability to draw the way they're used to to see art and have this feeling of "There you are! Where have you been! I missed you."

An old OC of mine and namesake lol, Jaiden Goldson.
